Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Feb. 24, 1883 CORRESPINDENCE St. Mary, Feb. 14, 1883 Mrs. DALLAS and Miss SIEBERT of New Bremean had been on a visit to St. Mary, Thursday of last week on horseback, and were peacefully pursuing their way homeward, when, a short distance from town, two young fellows, the one in a sleigh, and the other in a buggy or light spring wagon, overthook them. The two men must have been drinking too freely, for, when they noticed that the horses before them appeared rather shy, they drove up at a furious rate, scaring the animals and nearly causing the young lady, Chas. SIEBERT's daughter, to fall from the saddle, at the same time using such filthy language as no human being ought to utter. The terrified women, fearing further abuse, left the road and escaped through the woods. One of the fellows is said to have been a hired man from Quarrytown, and the other a mail driver. Mr. SIEBERT was in town last Monday and expressed his indignation at the conduct of the two roughs. Feb. 20. George KENNER has bought out the shoe shop of John REMKE, and John is now engaged to work for KENNER by the piece. John TLAPEK lost 24,000 shingles by the sudden rise of the river. An old negress, the mother of John AIKIN, lost her life by falling on the late ice. She must have received internal injuries by the fall; this happened in the evening, but she was found only the next morning, half froze to death; she died the same day. The upper Saline bridge is said to be again in a critical condition so that it is dangerous to pass. The report says that somebody chopped trees so that they fell into the creek and were washed against the bridge by high water. In other countries, they clean riverbeds, but here the reverse is the case. Everybody who chops trees into the creeks should be punished. H.
