The case ties to Murrie, a Lilbourn killer, now back in Missouri and held for a June trial as circuit court sits in New Madrid.

A wind storm last Friday endangered several men at the Southern Cypress & Piling Co. engine house near New Yama east of Kennett when a large tree fell. The tree narrowly missed the roof thanks to a taut line and the crew’s risky attempts to cut it in two.

Fenatoy Von Miyes, state Revision Committee member, was visiting for legal business and plans to relocate his family to Jefferson City after purchasing property here, per the Caruthersville Democrat.

Replant Bottoms in Corn Says State Board
The Missouri State Board of Agriculture urges replanting bottoms or overflowed corn land when possible. Emergency crops help, but farmers should feed forage to live stock while corn remains versatile for sale, feed, or storage. Plant early maturating seed, prioritizing high germination. Corn is valued as both money and feed on overflowed lands in May and June.
