On this date in 1908, authorities in Hunter were still attempting to locate the perpetrator in a bizarre encounter at the home of Harry Carr. Harry, a local merchant was sound asleep when a noise woke his wife. Worried, she sent Harry to investigate.
That's when Harry discovered a strange man standing in the middle of his dining room! "What are you doing here?" Harry thundered. The man didn't say, and only replied that he would leave. However, instead of exiting through the nearby door, much to Harry's surprise, the man plunged through the window!
The stranger did not get away with anything, but poor Harry still lost out-stuck for the replacement window and screen.
What a "pane"-ful experience!
