Chicken Thieves

 


 November 30, 1895, Oshkosh Northwestern

Menasha was a hot bed of criminal activity in its early years.  This article mentions Officer Schrebeis, from yesterday's robbery attempt story as one of the officers helping to apprehend the Welch brothers.  As we shall see in later installments, this gang was no one term number...indeed, in a span of almost twenty years, the brothers' gang was still doing damage to the area.
