John O'Neill arrested, ending the Fenian raids

American troops arrested John O'Neill after the 5 October 1871 Pembina raid, an arrest that ended the Fenian raids.

Following the attack on Pembina, O'Neill was arrested by American troops. The supplied passages do not state the arrest's date or location; legacy metadata associates it with Saint Paul, Minnesota, on 5 October 1871, but this is not corroborated by the retrieved evidence.
