Bischof Store - robbed

Source: Muncie Daily Times Sat Jan 7, 1893 p 7
 
John Bischof discovered a burglar in his brother’s store at Crawfordsville.  He attempted to secure him and a hand-to-hand struggle ensued in which the thief succeeded in cutting his assailant in several places.  Finally he tore himself loose and climbed up a pole and out of the skylight, but not until Bischof had shot at him five times .  None of the balls took effect however, thus the burglar is again at large.  He was recognized however, as Sam Randolph, a boy only 18 years old and well connected.
