Dr. Robinson, who had been in Alleyton since 1870, left town in early 1883 (see Colorado Citizen, March 22, 1883). So did Williamson Daniels. After leaving the nursery, he opened a store. He sold that store to Dittman, and, in January 1883, moved to a place near Borden (see Colorado Citizen, January 25, 1883). The arsonist who burned Munch's store was named Thomas Bostick. After repeated appeals, he was finally convicted in March 1882. Before leaving the courtroom, Bostick asked for and was granted permission to speak to Munch. Instead of speaking to him, however, he physically assaulted him (see Colorado Citizen, November 27, 1879, March 23, 1882; Colorado County District Court Records, Criminal Cause File No. 1799: State of Texas v. Thomas Bostick).
