This Day in History: 1900-04-19

Young Mr. Mann, son of the night watchman on the Havemeyer Estate, was doing the rounds for his sick father when he encountered two men in the main house at 11pm. He fired on them and they shot him in the leg, captured him and gagged and bound him to a tree. When he freed himself two hours later, the intruders had fled. DR. DeYoe of Ramsey treated his leg for shotgun pellets. Detective McGee of Paterson is investigating. (Bristow)
