From the June 26, 1888 Cincinnati Enquirer.

Gus PETERSON, the Walnut Street tailor, was arrested with his father
last Sunday evening for disorderly conduct while on a John street-car.
The Peterson's had been to Metz's wine-house and had taken a little too
much for their own good. The young man picked a fuss with Joseph FOX, a
shipping clerk for the Emerson & Fisher Carriage Company and now,
notwithstanding the presence of a number of ladies, used some very
unbecoming language. Lieutenant ROCKWELL and two officers arrested the
offenders after a struggle, and locked them up at the Oliver-street
Station. Yesterday morning they were arraigned in the police Court and
had their cases laid over until the 3d of July. The old gentleman's
disorder was his effort to prevent the arrest of his son when the
officer came into the car.
