Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Feb. 3, 1883 Willie ABERNATHY, the young innocent in jail here, was marked out for two years in the pen by the grand jury at the special term of Circuit Court last week, but Judge FOX commuted the sentence into one year's imprisonment in the county jail, because the prisoner was under 18 years of age when he committed the crime. It is said that the young saint cried tears at his trial, and some evil minded persons even hinted that he cried them to order, cut and dried so to speak, but we don't believe a word of it. The colored jail bird, ADAMS, was fined $100 and 30 days imprisonment in the county jail. If at the expiration of his term, he is not able to pay the fine - which he will not be - he will be given a chance to work his time out in the road, at a rate of $1 a day. A week ago last Monday, Simon GRAF saw a panther in the neighborhood of St. Mary. Simon went after the beast with his dog but could not get near enough for a good shot and so the animal escaped. I hear that Andrew WOLF saw panther tracks on Henry OTT's place near town. Mr. Louis SCHAFF, the efficient superintendent of the St. Mary Mills, was confined to his bed last week by a severe attack of fever, but is at present convalescent. The Utica Observer says that in an emigrant car which passed through that city recently, was a child 7 years of age, who had crossed the ocean from Germany without any protector. On his breast was sewed a label with the following inscription in large letters: "SCHEIDENREICH, care Heinrich STROLBERG, Keokuk, Iowa, Nord Amerika". T.B. WHITLEDGE ATTORNEY AT LAW ST. MARY, MO.
