October 15, 1903, Oshkosh Northwestern
Menasha has been known for some criminal activity but this harrowing account of the attempted robber of the grocery gives one pause at how it could have easily become tragic. Mr. Schreibeis' training as a policeman from years before obviously kicked in and helped him to seize the day and quell the robbers. We at the blog are grateful he survived, as he became a valued alderman of the fourth ward in later years and contributed mightily to the civic well-being of the city, sitting on the school board and serving as postmaster.
We first encountered Mr. Schreibeis in 2013: http://menashabook.blogspot.com/2013/10/schreibeis-groceries.html
