More Doings at the J. B. Clark Meat Market, West Main St., Goshen, New York

Since publishing Workday Wednesday J. B. Clark's Meat Market, Goshen, New York  last week, I located some newspaper articles about 2^nd Great Grandfather Jeremiah B. Clark and his shop. They were published in a regular column called “AT THE COUNTY SEAT. INCIDENTS AND HAPPENINGS IN GOSHEN” except “BURGLARS CAUGHT IN THE ACT”.

Mr. J. B. Clark has six potatoes that weigh eight pounds and thirteen ounces, the largest weighing one pound and thirteen ounces.

I wish somebody took a picture of the potatoes!

BURGLERS CAUGHT IN THE ACT

Arrested by Vigilant Officer While Robbing a Goshen Meat Market

(From our Goshen Correspondent)

Last night an attempt was made to enter the meat market of J. B. Clark, on West Main street. Officer William Ehlers going by saw the burglers at work, and promptly captured them. Their booty consisted of forty-seven cents in money and a bologna sausage. They were arraigned before Justice Swezey, this morning, and held for the Grand Jury. One of the burglers is a negro, and gives his name and address as Hezikiah Brown, of Philiadelphia. His companion is a white man, Edward Miller, of Dayton, Ohio.
