Jabez Woodard and Brother G. Bammeli's deliverance from mob violence in Switzerland

While visiting a place in Switzerland with Brother G. Bammeli, Jabez Woodard and his companion faced a threat of murder. A group of local people were drinking and turned their violence on each other, resulting in the death of a young man, which provided a diversion that allowed the missionaries to stay in the area and baptize about twenty people.

Fuller account of this event (the complete account as preserved in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 20, No. 41, 9 October 1858, p. 653):

Brother G. Bammeli and myself have been threatened with murder, but the Lord has preserved us. A mob had collected, and were drinking, and in their drunken rage they turned their violence upon each other, and one young man was killed, which caused a diversion, and we were enabled to remain in the place and baptize about twenty persons.
