Bums Go Berserk at Pittsburg Depot

In the chilly winter evening of December 4, 1890, a notorious group of vagabonds, known as ‘bums,’ descended upon the Pittsburg and Lake Erie depot like a swarm of locusts. The bums, who had been frequenting the depot as a makeshift clubhouse, had grown brazen in their actions. Last night, they made a coordinated effort to take over the depot, exploiting the cold and cutting wind to their advantage.
