Horse and Wagon Stolen

New York, 1895

A horse belonging to Adolph Otto, attached to a wagon owned by Alfred Carter, both of Whitestone, was stolen Monday night. Otto and Carter were driving from Woodside with a load of iron pipe. They stopped at Sands' hotel in Flushing at about 8 o'clock to get supper, leaving the horse and wagon under the shed. When they came out of the hotel the rig was gone.
