“Thieves are taking advantage of the temporary absence of lighted streets in Maysville [because of the 1884 flood], and are doing some small plundering. It would go hard with them if caught, if one were to judge by the armament of the Marshal and his sides. Two of the latter came aboard the steamer for lunch last midnight. In a big leathern belt around the waist of one were stuck three big navy revolvers.” Cincinnati Enquirer, February 19, 1884 |
