Burlingame in Jail.

Tom Burlingame, proprietor of the notorious roadhouse near Lafayette, familiarly known as the Romney Club or Tazewell, in in jail in that city held on 74 indictments. Never in the history of Tippecanoe county was a more notorious place run than that which Burlingame was at the head of. For several years the people of Lafayette have put up with him, but conditions have become so bad that law abiding citizens feared to travel the highways leading to this roadhouse and the people have decided to put up with this sort of thing no longer and as a consequence Burlingame is in jail.
