DrunkardS ScandaIize Village
The writer of this department is
creditably informed that a party of
hoodlums from Lancaster recently
came to Potosi all drunk to finish
and it can not truthfully be said that
they got any of their moOnshine in
Potosi. They had their bottles of liz
uor with them and drank out of them
in the streets. They acted in a very
hilarious and indecent manner and
should have been placed under arrest
for their disgraceufl conduct. But no
arrests were made. Potosi officials
are too lenient with that class of
people. But that is not all.
A Sensational Case
(The Herald has a news report of a
fracas at the Potosi boat landing
wherein, it is related, Al. Schreir, the
poatman, was attacked by resident of
this CITY, beaten and his arm broken.
Mr. Schreir has refused to make a
complaint, allowing the facts of the
case to become matter of official
record. Every statement made to us
for publication may be true but they
are of such a damaging and scandal
Gus nature that we advise Mr.. Schreier
to take legal action to bring the truth
/ out rather than trying the case and
Furnishing his aSSailant through the
columns of this paper. If he has been
injured wantonly as he and his
| friends claim he has, he should seek
the courts for redress without delay.
If he will do so the Herald will pub
lish the unbiased news of the trial.
