The Indianapolis Leader
July 9, 1881


                       There was Wednesday some complaint
                     of the non-appearance of the police on
                     Tuesday night at the Corner of Illinois
                     and Georgia streets, to quell the racket
                     of the HARTER crowd.  Officers SCHMIDT
                     and RAFERTY, the officers who run on that
                     beat, are not in the least to blame. They
                     have an unusually large beat, extending
                     from the west side of Illinois to the east
                     side of West street; from the south side
                     of Washington to the north side of Merrill.
                     On the occasion above mentioned these of-
                     ficers, in company with a Sentinel reporter,
                     were on their beat attending to their duties,
                     and they should not be blamed in the matter.
                     They were on hand as soon as possible, and
                     made the arrests.
                     
                       The HARTER crowd, including GEORGE and MOLLIE
                     ALICE POLSTER, CHARLES POLSTER and KATE HOGARTY
                     were each salted to the tune of $30 and costs
                     by the Mayor Wednesday, for engaging in the
                     disgraceful South Illinois street row on Tues-
                     day night. Their fines were neither paid nor
                     stayed, and they were all remanded to jail.
