De Soto

By De Sotoan

Memorial services held in all the city churches on Sunday, and the
attendance was very good. On Friday, the graves of all the soldiers
will be decorated with flowers.

The public school picnic was held in the hotel park on Saturday, but
the rain and bad weather prevented any large attendance of scholars.

Dr. C. C. C????? formerly of De Soto, is here with his wife, visiting
his sister, Mrs. B????, and many old friends. He is now located at
Laredo, Texas, where he is practicing his profession and establishing
an extensive ??? business. He has completely recovered his health, and
is very enthusiastic in his praises of the great southwestern city
where he is located.

Prof. SCOTT, at the public schools, is involved in law. On Saturday one
of his boys engaged in a fight with a young son of Peter BERG?, and
young SCOTT was on the under side?. Some one cared word to the
Professor and he went to the rescue of the youngster. In separating the
boys it is said he administered several vicious blows to the young
tailor?, which enraged the parents, Mr. and Mrs. BERG, and a warrant
was issued for the arrest of Prof. SCOTT. The trial is now pending. May

Some of our citizens are ?? ????? Prof. WOODWARD because he left for

More fatal accidents have happened on Plattin creek, at Crystal City,
in the last few years, than at any other given point between St. Louis
and Cairo? People ought to show the treacherous stream.
