Charles Reppenhagen and Miss
Lottie Weber of Marshall, Saline
county, who drove to Keytesville Sun
day, Oct. 2S, registered at the Brown
house as "Reppenhagen and wife"
and occupied the same room that
night, but were not married until the
next morning by Justice VIM. P. Jared
at the Signal office, were brought back
to Keytesville Thursday, Nov. 8. on a
warrant, sworn out before Justice
Jared by Prosecuting Attorney J. A.
Collet, charging the defendants with
gross lewdness. Both of the accused
pleaded guilty, and Justice Jared
fixed Reppenhagen's punishment at a
fine of SIS and costs and Mrs. Rep
penhagen was required to do penance
to the tune of ST and the usual EN-.
belllshments. The fines and costs in
both cases amounted to between $3s
and $40, which was paid. Mr.. Rep
penhagen requested that the affair be
kept out of the papers, but we regret
that we cannot comply with the re.
quest, tor it is an invarIabe rule of
the COURIER to publish the news as
we find it. MIR. and Mrs. Reppenha-
gen have no one to blame but them
selves for their unenviable notoricsy.
Charlton county has an unusually
clever and accommodating der,
and he would have gladly issued Mr..
Reppenhagen marriage license the
night of mis- arrival in KeytesviIle with
his prospective BRIDE had Mr. Mason
been informed that the exigencies of
the case demanded an immediate per-
NIT tc commit matrimony.

Henry Boone. COL, an 1S-year- -old
son of George Boone, col, of Keytes-
vile, was lodged in jail Tuesday night
on a commitment issued by Justice
VIM. P. Jared, and will be held. with
out bond, to await the action of the
grand jury at the November term of
circuit couit next week for feloni Gus
assault on Horace Redding, COL, who
is Boone's senior by a year or
more. From what we can learn of
the facts in the case, Redding, while
carrying basket of clothes, went into
the restaurant conducted by Taylor
Harold, COL, under the negro Masonic
hall, and inquired for a barber.
Henry Boone made some smart Aleck
reply. One word brought on another
and finally Boone got out his knife.
Redding's attention was called to
Boone's having knife. but Redding
said he was not afraid of him. Further
hostilities were put stop to by others
present, but when Redding left the
restaurant short time afterward
Boone followed him and stabbed him
in the back twice near the shoulder.
blade. 1t was cowardly and unpro.
voked assault. and Boone will likely
find that he has gotten into serious
trouble. Redding's wounds were
dressed by DR.. Isaiah Knott, Jr., who
says the cuts extended to the hollow
and probably penetrated the lung.
The wounds are considered dangerous
unless the victim takes especially
good care of himself.
