Chief of police
As the war against the Sioux expanded, three Companies of the 30th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment later transitioned Fort Ridgely enroute to Fort Wadsworth (Sissiton). For a period a battery of the 3rd Minnesota light Artillery was posted to the fort. Sargent Jones resigned from the U.S. Army for a Captain's commission in the 3rd Minn. Artillery. Postwar Capt. Jones served one term as the Chief of police in St. Paul.
