Lansing State Journal
Tuesday, 7 June 1859

         LANSING'S FIRST VICTIM. - MR. WEBB of Delhi, a
       superdangerious individual, of the Buchanan per-
       suasion, concluded to make "Rome howl," on Friday,
       in the streets of Lansing. He entered groceries,
       swore at men in the streets, threatened, stormed,
       shouted at a funeral procession, and allowed that
       nobody could capture him. But all this while
       trouble was brewing for WEBB - the City Council
       were putting a fastening upon the door of the new
       Lock-up, under Bailey's Bank, which was all it
       wanted to make a finish, and as soon as that was
       done, constable WILEY marched WEBB into it, out
       of which he got in the evening by paying $5.00
       with the distinguished honor of being Lansing's
       first prisoner.
