A Barn Burned at Roslyn

New York, 1895

A series of assaults and attempted robberies, of which John Fischer, of Roslyn, has been the victim for several months, assumed a more serious aspect on Wednesday evening when his barn was burned. There is every indication that the fire was of incendiary origin.
