Surnames: Henrichsen Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5d.2ADI/3658 Message Board Post: Payette Independent Payette, Idaho Thursday, April 20, 1899 Burgled the Butcher Shop. Sometime during Monday night Chris Henrichsen’s City Meat Market was entered by some night prowler in search of plunder. An entrance was gained to the building by cutting the wire screening on one of the front windows, the sash of which had been left raised by Mr. Henrichsen, as is his custom, for the purpose of admitting fresh air to the salesroom. There happened to be only 75 cents in the cash drawer and that is all that has been missing from the premises. If the burglar had known that the next door was the printing office he would doubtless have broken into it also and—left that 75 cents on deposit with the conscience fund. Later—A further examination of the premises by Mr. Henrichsen has revealed the fact that the burglar entered a bed room in the rear of the building and took a revolver and some clothing.
