    3. Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State July 20-1893 Seized by Judge Dunham Police-Justice DUNHAM was coming from his home on Summit street yesterday afternoon when he was asked to send an officer to arrest drunken Michael McMAHON, an old offender, who was disporting in the vicinity of Summit street and Washington avenue. "I'll attend to him myself," said the Justice, and he seized the drunk and started along with him. Twice on the way McMAHON resisted vigorously, and twice the Justice gave him the grapevine and downed him, sitting on him until he promised to behave. Later he turned McMAHON over to Officer McCULLEY, who took him to jail to sober up. McMAHON had been around with Robert BOYD and Edward NORTON, who were found drunk on Main street by Officers PLATO and McCULLEY during the afternoon and jailed.
