Some time last week a two year old child of Mr. Richard Byington, about fifteen miles form Ste. Genevieve, on the St. Louis Road, fell into a kettle of ashes and was so badly burned that it died before medical assistance could be had. It's bereaved parents seem doomed to misfortunes. It seems that some time last spring, their two oldest sons, Joe and Sam started to the lead mines of Newton County, where Joe, the eldest; inflicted a severe cut across his knee with a drawing knife. His wife and younger brother nursed him (for he had to turn him in bed) for several months in his helpless condition, until they became enamored, and the younger Sam, eloped with his brother's wife.
Mr. Richard Byington has always been known as a very good, peaceable and friendly old man, and his misfortunes are to be regretted.

The shooting occurred at a store or restaurant conducted by John Nicolff, near Federal No. 6. About nine o'clock M. K. Holly, Arch Byers and George Asher came to the store. When they arrived six foreigners were sitting around a table drinking cider. When the three men entered they went up to the counter. One of the foreigners at the table had just ordered a bottle of cider. When Nicoloff produced it he remarked that it was the last bottle he had in stock. Holly demanded to know if he was not going to get any. One of the foreigners at the table pulled the bottle toward him and said, "no, the man has no more." Holly and Byers then started toward the door. Holly drew a revolver and asked Byers if he should shoot. Byers, according to one witness, told him to go ahead. Holly fired two shots, one of which took effect in Jurkon's body. After being shot Jurkon jumped up and grabbed Holly. In doing so blood from his wound was smeared on Holly's shirt.

Drunken Brawl Result In Arrest of 3
A drunken argument in the Burt Thurman saloon on Division street Sunday evening, resulted in the arrest of John Redding, Charles H. Potter and Estes Govro, and their ultimately having to appear before Justice Louis Marchand on charges of being drunk and disorderly, and the latter assessed them each a fine and cost, amounting to $21. 85.
According to Constable John Mostiller, who made the arrest, Redding and Govro got into an argument and Potter intervened. Walter Politte, the bartended, at this point ordered them all to leave the premises and then supplemented this order by hitting two of the men with the butt end of a revolver, which incidently exploded , but did no harm to any of the participants of the brawl.
At this point Constable Mostiller appeared on the scene and found Redding had already been removed to the hospital with several scalp wounds, alleged to have been received forma broken glass. Potter was hiding behind the building. Govro and Potter were removed to the jail, and Mostiller went to the hospital to get Redding to keep them company after his wounds had been dressed, On returning to jail he found Redding was bleeding and had the hospital surgeons attend to him before incarcerating all of them for the night.
According to constable Mostiller, Govro had been arrested for drunkenness three times within 24 hours, twice by Mostiller and once by the city marshal, who made his first arrest since his appointment as Marshall several months ago. The three men were employees of the Union Electric Light & Power Company gang engaged in erecting the new lighting facilities, and according to the Constable all three of them were jobless after the above difficulties were brought to light.

Mr. and Mrs. Lutz celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1913. His wife preceded him in death two years later. Since which time he has been making his home with his son Andrew.
In politics, Mr. Lutz was a staunch Democrat and always voted his ticket straight. He served as an Alderman in the first ward of our city for four or five terms, and during his long residence in Waterloo, he never moved out of this ward though he changed residences several times during that period.
His remains were laid to rest beside those of his wife in the Waterloo cemetery last Saturday afternoon, and his funeral was largely attended by sympathizing relatives and friends who came to pay their last respects to his memory.
Rev. Brink of St. Paul's Evangelical church officiated at the funeral and made an eloquent address.
May his sleep be peaceful and calm.
