Editing Timeline of the Toledo Strip (section)

===July===
*'''July 12:''' Fighting broke out on the border. The deputy sheriff of Monroe County, Joseph Wood, was commissioned to arrest [[Two Stickney]] of Toledo (son of Major Benjamin Stickney, younger brother of One Stickney; see above) for allegedly having resisted two Michigan officers by force.<ref>Outrages at Toledo. (1835, July 22). ''Detroit Free Press.''</ref> Two Stickney notified Wood that the day he set foot in Toledo his life would be in danger.
*'''July 16:''' [http://www.michigan.gov/hal/0,1607,7-160-15479-79532--,00.html (Michigan's department of History, Arts, and Libraries says it was the 15th)] The deputy sheriff attempted to carry out his commission. Stickney stabbed him in the left side with a [[dirk]], saying: "Damn you, you have got it."  Wood was taken to the nearest inn for treatment and subsequently recovered. Meanwhile, fifty to seventy-five leading Toledo citizens, including Goodsell and McKay (former guests of Major Benjamin Stickney), gathered to pledge resistance against any further Michigan arrests, "as long as they have a drop of blood left."
:Upon being informed of these developments, Mason immediately ordered the Monroe posse of about two hundred men into Toledo to arrest Two Stickney. When the Toledoans sighted the armed force, a large number fled across the Maumee River, some paddling their way to the other side on logs. Once safely out of the posse's reach, they gave vent to their anger by firing on the intruders. Fonts of type of the ''Toledo Gazette'' were "thrown into confusion."
:In the midst of this uproar Two Stickney escaped. The posse arrested three or four Ohio sympathizers, including McKay and Major Stickney. The Major, on the way to the Monroe jail, was forcibly held on a horse by having his legs tied under the animal's body.
*'''July 18:''' Mason asked Lucas to allow extradition to Michigan of Two Stickney, a request the Ohio Governor refused on grounds the stabbing had taken place on Ohio soil. The Two Stickney episode removed the border controversy one step farther from an amicable settlement. The decision of Governor Lucas to hold out on Mason confirmed the Michigan legislature in its support of Mason.
*'''July 22:''' Secretary of State Forsyth in a letter to Cass regretted that Mason had submitted the controversy to the legislature. The matter could be resolved simply by the Governor himself. David Disney had said that Lucas was willing to abide by Jackson's recommendations.
