On 6 June 1858, Aboriginal people came to an outstation on John Jacob's station and started throwing stones at the three men present. They were fired upon and retreated, at which time the stockkeeper rode to Taggart's station for assistance. While the stockkeeper was away Aboriginal people rushed the hut spearing both men, they then set fire to the hut forcing the men to flee.
