Hosea Stout Journals
February 24, 1848
Summary: A gun cleaning party was organized to help the
police.
Journal entry: Thurs Feb 24th 1848. Was around to enlist
more help to clean guns as the police were getting tired of their
job, as well they might. Today we got up the idea of making up a
party and all who would put a gun in good order might come. They
finding everything, this work was committed to F. Gardner & H. Stevens.
Such was the dancing fever that they soon had as there were just
enough workers as the police could superintend.
