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.
