Thieves Failed Here

New York, 1895

An unsuccessful attempt was made a few evenings ago to rob the residence of George W. Odell, in Flushing. Mr. Odell, who was awakened while the burglars were in the act of prying open a window, repelled the invaders with a shot gun.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, N.Y., Jan. 18, 1895, p. 1.
