Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, July 7, 1883 Judge BANTZ's cellar was entered on Sunday night by a thief, who however, abstracted therefrom nothing but a pund of butter. The thief must have been familiar with the premises, as burnt matches lying around indicated that he had helped himself by the light of those modern lucifers. A stranger was put in the lock up on the 4th upon the charge of having tried to take a diamond pin from R. CUMMINGS. As the man is said to have been too drunk to know what a diamond pin was, his supposed intention may have been purely imaginative. He was discharged on Thursday morning. Washington JAMES respectfully informs his colored friends and the public at large that he will have a grand picnic at New Bourbon on the 4th of Aug. Accommodations, music, and refreshments will be first class. Everybody is cordially invited. There is no hope for our flood sufferers to raise anything of consequence on the submerged fields except perhaps a little cattle corn, and this is entirely inadequate to supply the loss caused by the flood. For a great many of the flooded sufferers it will be simply impossible to winter their stock. We hope therefore that the owners of the land in the Big Field will take to heart and do all in theri power to prevent the repetition of a calamity which threatens to make the bottomland of the Mississippi comparatively worthless. On the evening of the Fourth, the city marshal was informed that a man was lying behind Mr. Harry BANTZ's warehouse and was asked to investigate the matter in order to find out whether a murder had been committed. Upon arriving at the place, the officer found a man on his face, turned him over and found that he was covered in blood. Being asked what was the matter, he replied that he had been struck by a man behind a counter and that he would have revenge on him, which threat he repeated on Thursday morning. We have not learned whether the revenge has been taken or not. The case of SCHERER vs LINDERER for disturbing the peace came up before squire ROY on Monday. The state was represented by Vallee HAROLD and Henry S. SHAW and the defendant by A.C. HERTICH. The jury disagreed as to the verdict and another hearing of the case will be had on the 14th inst. T.B. WHITLEDGE was in town last Monday to appear as counsel for L.D. THURMAN, City Marshal, against whom charges have been brought before the City Board for misconduct in office. As no meeting was held, the case could not be tried. Mr. WHITLEDGE staid over till Tuesday morning. Mag LaROSE and Pete McCARTHY got too hot on the 5th and to get rid of the surplus calorie, ventilated it by hot words succeeded by a fist fight to the great amusement of the by-standers who probably thought it was quite a refreshing sight for a hot day. The marshal nabbed them in a twinkling and dismissed Mag, who gave bond for his appearance. Pete who resolutely refused to give bond, was put into the jail, but thought better of it after a little while, when sufficiently cooled down, to sign the required bond, upon which he too was released. Mr. WINKLEMAN, an attorney at Belleville, Ill., who is a large land owner in the Ill. Bottom, when he saw how the water threatened to destry the crops, went at it in a practical manner, hired men and teams and had dams constructed across the sloughs and other low places, and succeeded in saving most of the corn crop growing on his land. His renters, Jaspar PHIGLEY, Hy. THORN, Mr. BARBEAU and the BERNEAU boys, whose crops were saved by the prompt action of Mr. WINKLEMAN feel very grateful to their landlord and would, in an emergency, do almost anything for him. Here is an example, worthy of initation, men of Ste. Genevieve. NOTICE! Applications for Teaching of Public Schools at Ste. Genevieve, term ten months, will be received up to the 31st of July. By order of Board of Education. Karl A. MUELLER, Secretary
