Davenport Daily Gazette Oct 20, 1885 POLICE DOINGS Exciting Diversions in Bucktown Sunday Night - A Row in a Saloon Near the Glucose Works - Minor Criminalities Bucktown indulged in a sort of Baccanalian orgie Sunday night, and for a short time there was undue excitement in that portion of the city. Cal Simpson filled up on prohibition beverages and fell from grace. He stormed about Meyer's saloon at the corner of Second and Iowa streets, broke window panes and executed numerous other capers, when Policeman Hall arrived and locked up the obstreperous individual. Yesterday morning the man who filed the complaint withdrew the information and Simpson was released by paying costs. A short time after this scrimage occurred Elmer Hall was arrested for disturbing the peace in the same locality, and yesterday morning paid a fine of $8. Capt. Martens arrested Bully Howard on the charge of larceny. Howard was accused of entering Widigan's saloon on Second street, between Rock Island and Iowa, while the proprietor was engaged in a back room and of emptying a box of cigars in his pockets. The information filed was withdrawn by the complainant, and Howard paid the costs of the prosecution as far as it had progressed. Officer Faulkner coralled Jim McMahon in the vicinity of the Glucose works Sunday night about 10 o'clock, he having participated in a row at Buergel's saloon, situated near the "forks", where the road turns. He was charged with disturbing the peace and sentenced to seven days' imprisonment. While McMahon was hurling stones at the saloon, the saloonkeeper, Gus. Buergel, began an indiscriminate firing, to frighten the noisy bum away. Buergel was arrested on the charge of discharging firearms but was released on the payment of costs. Ed. Mooney was arrested on the charge of disturbing the peace, which offense was committed three weeks ago on Case street. Mooney fled and went to Stuart, Iowa, returning Saturday last, when an officer spotted him. He paid the costs. Daily Leader June 10, 1896 A mechanic's lien was filed by Christ Mueller against A. H.
