Thieves Steal House

1907

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. 11. — Having stolen a launch from Minnetonka, thieves have now taken away a cottage. The cottage was not very big, but it was a shelter for August Brusven when he was forced to remain at the lake over night. It was big enough for two men to live in comfortably and when Mr. Brusven went to the lake yesterday to lock up the house for the winter he found it had been carted away and nothing was left but the foundation. No trace of the missing launch has been found although the detectives have searched carefully for clues.
