Bloomington World Telephone, December 24, 1881.

Two of the University boys were somewhat surprised upon reaching their
homes. Ira Batman, near Beford, when he arrived, found that burglars had
ransacked the house the previous night and shot his father through the
hand. Will Halderman, who lives at Larwill, found his father's business
block partly destroyed by fire and that the safe had been blown open (which
fired the building) and $7,000 in cash carried away by unknown persons.
