Patrolman Ruberg, a German immigrant of 3648 Glenway Avenue, was one of the veterans of the Police Department. He had been assigned to the Ninth District for several years and had many friends in the western part of the city.
During June 1890 in Price Hill, he with Lieutenant Brangan and Detective Carey, participated in a gunfight during the capture of “Burglar Jim” Anderson, who was wounded. Officer Ruberg was hit in the chest, but after the battle he found a bullet had merely dented his badge.
