The Arlington Advocate, 15 November 1879

POLICE COURT
Last Wednesday was quite a busy day in the Arlington Police Court. The first case called was Daniel Reardon, charged with an assault on John Sullivan. Daniel admits he keeps beer for sale. John wanted to buy some. Daniel refused to sell. John called him hard names. Daniel retaliated with his cane, which is really a club, and paid $5 and costs for so doing.
In the next case Daniel figured as complainant. Last Sunday evening his house was assailed by a gang of young fellows, some windows smashed, and the building was otherwise damaged, Michael Mahoney, Dennis Ahearn, Michael Roach and John Hodge were identified as some of the party and were fined $2 and costs, the latter being divided equally between them.
