Notable West Sixty-Eighth Street boarding house affair details Masterson era
The report describes a police incident at 107 West Sixty-ninth Street where two prisoners were placed in a roomful of officers and later taken away in hansom cabs. It notes the boarding house is run by Mrs Reisinger, frequented by actors, with a watchman named Reilly who observed two men posing as Western mining men. The piece then pivots to Bat Masterson, famed Dodge City lawman turned U S marshal, highlighting his tough reputation, clashes with Luke Short, time in Denver, Cripple Creek, and as operator of the Palace theatre, with a portrait of his build and quiet demeanor.
