Burglars Not Found as Unloaded Gun Sparks Tale
A Washington man from the Government Printing Office told friends of a late night tale in which his old Colt revolver had no cartridges. He descends to confront burglars only to discover a gas-on-and-open-window mishap left the house safe, quelling his wife’s fears and saving him from action.
