Police Court.
On Saturday a notorious woman of the town named Sarah Caullers, with another
associate, called Sadie Goesch, were brought in charged with vagrancy and
locked up. This same woman Caullers was released from jail only a day or two
since, and seems anxious for the "business" as she said she thought it a
"nice place to live." She is the direct cause of more misery of this
character than any other of that ilk in the city; is a noted procuress, and
should be kept in durance vile for the natural term of her worthless life or
until she is brought to some kind of decency. She and her associate were
fined each $10 and costs.

To-day two inebriated specimens named L. Connell and F.L. Mead were brought
up before Justice Peters for "lying around loose" and fined $1 each and
costs. Also Henry Frarik was fined $4 and costs for disturbing the public
peace.

Saturday, Dec 17, 1870:

Saloon Broke Up. The citizens of Dixon took the case of Henry Weise in hand
yesterday, and made it uncomfortable for him. Henry kept a saloon there and
dispensed benzine. They broke up his den, took out a search warrant, found
his liquors and confiscated them, had him bound over in penal sum of $100
for selling whisky, and he now sojourns in the county jail. Saloon keeping
is at a discount in Dixon.
