Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, June 16, 1883 The adjourned term of the Circuit Court which was set for next Wednesday will be held by Judge THOMAS if the Judge, who some time ago fell from his horse, is well enough to travel. The "BEARD Case" for the trail of which this session was called could not be tried by Judge FOX as he is related to some of the interested parties. Mr. Wm. ROTH, of the German Settlement, has a natural curiosity; a lamb with three legs and - two tails. At least, he says it looks like it; one of the hind legs is so short that it is good for no other earthly use but to wag with, it being shorter than the tail. If any of our enterprising young men should take it into their heads to start an old curiosity shop, that lamb might be made serviceable as the nucleus, so to speak, around which to gather the collection. The members of the "Progressive Cornet Band" are as busy as bees, getting ready for their Grand Picnic in GROBE's Grove on the 4th. New pieces are rehearsed, a band wagon is being painted in fine style, their new and tasty parade uniforms are receiving the finishing touches, mammoth posters are scattered all over the country and, to judge from these and other preparations, it cand be safely stated that this will be one of the grandest 4th of July celebrations that we have had here for some time. HE IS DANGEROUS Louis SCHAEFER, a boy of about 12 years and living on the Plank Road near the city limits, got into a difficulty with a neighbor's boy, LAROSE, and, having inflicted a punishment on the same, drew down on him a sound thrashing which was administered last Sunday evening by LAROSE's bigger brother. This put SCHAEFER into such a rage that he went and got a shot-gun, the contents of which he emptied into LAROSE's house in rather dangerous proximity to the spot where the family was sitting. L.D. THURMAN, the city Marshal, promptly took charge of the young culprit but let him go, upon the recommendation of our good-hearted mayor, who fined him $1 and costs last Monday. 4TH OF JULY PICNIC The citizens of Bloomsdale will celebrate the 4th of July in magni- ficent style by a grand picnic, at which everything will be done to make the occassion one of rejoicing. A splendidn dinner will be served; price 25 cents. Neighbors and friends of the congregation from far and near are expected and will be cordially welcomed. On Sunday morning last, while Father PIGGE, of St. Joseph's church, was saying low mass, a sneak thief entered his residence, opened his writing desk and pocketed 15 pieces of money, mostly foreign coin, valued at about $10. As soon as the theft was discovered, a posse of men, consisting of Anton ECKERT, John and Christ. GREMMINGER, F.J. HUCK and Louis JOKERST, went in pursuit of the rascal, following his trail to the vicinity of August SCHILLI's farm, where he was apprehended. He was searched and the stolen money found in his pockets. He did not deny the theft, but said that he was compelled to steal because he could find no work and was very destitute. He gives his name as Frank RYAN, claims to be of Irish descent and, to judge from his white hands, has done very little work in his life. He had a razor, pocket knife, box of matches, ball of twine, 2 silk handkerchiefs and a memorandum book in his pockets. He was brought to Ste. Genevieve and delivered over intothe coustody of the sheriff. On Monday he waived preliminary examination, and is now in the county hotel. As he answers the description of one Elijah HENSON, who is wanted by the authorities of Carrolton, Greene Co., Ill., for murder, and for whose capture a $400 reward is offered, Sheriff NAUMAN telegraphed to the sheriff of that county to come and identify him. On tuesday night he arrived, saw the man, and declared him not the party wanted; he left again on Wednesday morning.

Isn't the Father Pigge mentioned quite often really supposed to be Father Figge? william resinger <wresinger001@charter.net> wrote:Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo.
