Jackson Sentinel September 6, 1888
Jackson Sentinel, September 6, 1888 

About midnight Wednesday last, three men entered the store of Flannery Bros., 
at Otter Creek, seized Martin Doyle, the clerk who was sleeping in the store 
and bound and gagged him. They they proceeded to blow open the safe and took 
the very few dollars that it happened to contain. They also rummaged the show 
cases and scoured a number of pearl handled pocket knives, several revolvers 
and other articles and departed. When the proprietors opened the store in the 
morning they found poor Doyle in a helpless and frightened condition as the 
burglars had left him. Sheriff Shrigley was notified of the affair and a 
description given of the men. He wired Sheriff McCann of Dubuque, but no 
arrests have yet been made.
