“A nice state of affairs in Warsaw. This from the News: We regret to observe the inefficiency of our officers whose duty is to keep the peace and order in our town. Fighting, drunkenness, drunken revelers, hooping and yelling in the streets day and night, swearing, gambling, and in fact, nearly all manner of vice, seems to be carried on boldly and unmolested. We are told that we have gamblers and cut-throats in our midst who would scarcely hesitate to rob and murder when an opportunity was offered.” Courier-Journal, January 21, 1871

“Warsaw was then [c. 1868] our port of entry and to Warsaw we went to take the boat to Louisville or Cincinnati. The town was cursed with three or four bar-rooms, and almost every grocery sold liquor by the quart. Drunkenness was common, especially among the young men. The scenes on County Court Day were disgraceful, and the town as filled with drunken men who would fight and curse for pastime. Night was rendered hideous by the yells of drunken revellers, and indiscriminate reckless shooting of pistols made it unsafe to go about.” John Forsee, A History of Owen County
