Thieves Ransack a House

New York, 1895

Nathaniel Van Wickler, residing on Puntine street, Jamaica, went to Hempstead on New Year's day with his family. The family returned home on Tuesday and on entering the house found that it had been broken open and robbed of everything of value that could be conveniently carried off.
