SOLD ON SUNDAY

A Saloon Keeper Fined For Breaking The Law

Jacob Wentzel of the Sixth ward appeared before Justice Oellerich this week and pleaded guilty to the charge of having sold liquor on Sunday and paid a fine of $10 and costs. Some one in the ward put up a job on Mr. Wenzel and induced him to sell him liquor. The evidence having been procured the case was reported to the police with the results given above. Others are known by the police to have violated the law on the same day and although no arrests have been made yet it does not follow that others will not be hauled up as soon as the required evidence has been procured. Chief Ruby is as earnest to enforce the law as he was when he first became Chief of Police and because no arrests have been made lately it does not follow that none will be made hereafter.

ASSAULTED WITH A KNIFE

A Southside Resident Has A Narrow Escape

Sunday evening Joseph Nagel (Nigl), who keeps a grocery and sort of boarding house on Ninth Street was assaulted by Joseph Pefinger and narrowly escaped being cut open with a knife. Pfefinger, who was said to be a surly, ill disposed Bohemian, came to this city about three weeks ago from Schleisingerville and has been staying at Nagel's. Last night Nagel sent him away, but after a short time the Bohemian returned and called him outside. Upon getting within reaching distance of the grocery man he made a fierce lunge at him but the latter was too quick and struck his assailant away. Feeling, however that he was cut and fearing it to be serious, he cried out, whereupon Pfefinger ran away and has not been seen since. Examination showed that the knife had cut Nagel's clothes across his groin and scratched his skin slightly. Had it not been, however, for his quickness he would have been badly hurt. A warrant has been issued for his assailants arrest.

Much deserved for the St. Vincent's de Paul parish has made himself the Honorable Herr Reindl. The same came here as the church property was going on auction, under his caution and willpower he made it possible to make the bankruptcy turn away.

The Honorable Herr was born 14 Feb 1826 in Hohenkemnat in Bavaria. After he absolved his theological studies, he was ordained to the priesthood on 8 Dec 1860. In the year 1885 the Honorable Herr celebrated his silver priest Jubilee under great participation in the St. Vincent church in Oshkosh.
