July 1863 CE

Morgan's raiders, after spending the night in Lexington, head to the northeast, terrorizing the small towns along the way, including Vernon, Dupont, New Pekin, Salem, and Versailles.

In Versailles a group of freebooters invades the local Masonic Lodge, Versailles No. 7, and lifts the Lodge's badges of office which had originally been made from French silver coins.

Morgan, himself a Freemason, orders the officers' jewels returned, punishing the thievery of his own men.
