Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, July 21, 1883 On Thursday of last week, while John CARRON and wife, of Bloomsdale, were taking dinner, a shot was fired by some one outside. The bullet passed between the two persons, took a piece out of the table, glanced off, and hit the dog which was lying near the table. Mr. CARRON thinks the shot was fired by some thoughtless hunter. This is another instance that shows the necessity of the greatest care in the handling of fire arms even by persons when out hunting. A terrific cyclone originated in our jail last Wednesday afternoon when M. FAMILLE was locked up by Sheriff NAUMAN for disorderly conduct. Monsieur took the locking up part of the performance in high dudfeon and kicked most tremendously, inflicting the severest punishment on his shoes and cursing everything black and blue. On Thursday morning the culprit was brought before His Honor, the Mayor, who made him sweat to the tune of $16.65. For want of the needful wherewith to pay his little bill, monsieur was sent back to jail to wait for something to turn up. The surviving veterans, both Union and Confederate of the late war who participated in the bloody battle of Wilson Creek or Oak Hills, as the Confederates call it, at which the brave General Lyon lost his life, will have a friendly reunion at Springfield and on the late battle ground on the 8th, 9th, and 10th of August, 1883. The post office address of every survivor, and information of his intention to be present , is solicited. Half rates on railroads will be secured. Address John P. TRACEY, Springfield, Mo. The many friends of Mr. E.A. ROZIER, formerly of this city, but now holding a position in the St. Louis Custom House, will be pleased to learn that he has been promoted to a more responsible and lucrative position by Maj. Chas. W. WHITNEY, the Collector of the Port. While we rejoice in his good luck and prosperity, yet we hope that he may at no distant day be induced to return to his old home. We regard it as one of the causes of the stagnation of our beautiful, sleepy, little city, that the brightest and most talented of our young men feel compelled to seek their fortunes elsewhere. GRAND BALL! MR. ANDREW SIEBERT, of New Bremen, will give a Grand Ball on Wednesday, August 15th, to which all his friends and acquaintances are most cordially invited. Fine music, the best of refreshments, and fun for the million are a mat- ter of course. Andrew's balls must be visited to be appreciated. A singular libel suit had just been tried at Marshall, Mo. A year ago a son of S.J. POTTER went bathing in the river with Philander FINLEY and Mart BEGGS, and was drowned. POTTER accused them of having drowned his son, and put up a stone over his boy's grave bearing the inscription, "drowned by Philander FINLEY and Mart BEGGS." Both parties brought suit for damages and FINLEY's case has just ended with a verdict against POTTER for $800 damages.

Could someone please tell me where New Bremen was and who the parents of Andrew Siebert were in article that follows?
