Mr. and Mrs. John Burris, formerly of Rensselaer, who have been employed on the farm of William Coyne of near Reddick, 111., the former as farm hand and the latter as housekeeper, caused Coyne’s arrest last week on the charge of criminal assault on Mrs. Burris, it being claimed that he had assaulted her on two different occasions. Coyne says, that he had discharged the Burris a few days previous, and that the bringing of the case is an attempt at blackmail. The government record at St. Joseph college shows that for the 24 hours proceeding 7 o’clock Wednesday evening 1 1-5 inches of rain fell and from that time to Thursday morning, 1 1-7 inches fell. It is reported that considerable damage was to the onion fields in about Newland by the water covering them. The choking of sewers in Rensselaer caused the water to back up in a number of basements for the first time and to cover the lawns in a number of places. Owing to the fresh oil that had been put on a number of the streets, this made a nasty, sticky mess, and it is probable that the grass of the lawns will be killed in some places.
