TRAGEDIES ON ToMesToNEs.
English Churthyards and Their Deeply
Craven Accusations of Murder.

English Churthyards and Their Deeply
Craven Accusations of Murder.
In the churobyards of Britain several
tombstones exist with the accusations
of murder deeply engraved upon them.
A stone over the grave of three children
in Warrington (D.urham) churchyard
bears the following inscription:
Sleeping we were slain,
And here we sleep till we must rise again,
In Sandridge churohyard, Surrey, Oh
the tombstone of a custom house officer
who was shot in an encounter with
smugglers is the following:
Thou shalt do no murder, nor shalt thou steal
Are the commands Jehovah did reveal.
But thou, o wretch, without fear or dread
Of thy tremendous Maker, shot me dead.
On a stone in Cadoxton churchyard,
G1amorganshire. is inscribed tbs most
fearful accusation of murder to sc found
on any tomb in Great Britain;
ITO RECORD MURDER.
'sThis stone was erected over the body
of Margaret Williams, aged 26, living
in service in this parish, who was found
dead with marks of violence upon her
In a ditch on marsh below this church
yard ON the morning of Sunday, the
i4th July, 1922.
Although the savage murderer es
capped for a season the detection or man,
yet God hath set his mark upon him
either for time or eternity, and the
cry of blood will assuredly pursue him
to certain and terrible but righteous
Judgment. "
a tombstone stood in Dulverton
churchyard a few years ago on which
was inscribed:
Poisoned 10y the doctor, neglected by the nurse,
The brother robbed the widow, which made
tie mat er worse.
An accusAtion of murder appears on
the tomb OF Edwin, the Irish comedian,
who was buried in ST. Werburgh's
churchyard Dublin, and also on tombs
to be found in Acton churchyard, Glou-
cestershire; Hoo, near Rochester; Little
Stukeley, and Mytton, near Clitheroe
Lancashire. London Tit-Bits.

A OueenIy Service.

An attache of the Netherland legation
recently persisted in keeping Growing
cock under the bedroom window of a
neighbor, and all the power of English
law was brought to bear in vain to Sc
cure an abatement of the nuisance. The
diplomatic privileges of the owner pro
tected him, and he defed his critics
The tortured man explained in court
Monday how he finally triumphed. He
could not have lived if the nuisance had
continued, and not knowing what to do
wrote to the queen of the Netherlands
The gracious young lady did not reply
by letter, but the offending cock was
Immediately taken away. In that way
he accomplished what the whole law of
England could not do for him. ~

In all the principal cities of the
land now, since the expose by the
LeXow committee of New York, in
vestigations of the police departments
are being had with startling disclosures.
Chief Pratt of Salt Lake is the latest
officer to get into trouble. He seems
to be in a bad mess of it, as reputable
Salt Lake business men are accusing
him of being instrumental in the re-
moval of the scarlet women from
Franklin avenue to Commercial street
for no other purpose than to augment
his income by the increased rents from
certain property he owns or has an in
terest in on that street. The Brigham
Young Trust company and other pro-
Derty owners on Commercial street are
making strenuous and just complaint
against having these fallen creatures
heTded onto or near their premises. In
the quiet little town of Provo nothing
sensational has as yet developed con-
nected with the police force, but there
are those who are seriously asking the
questions: Why is it that under our
present administration gambling
houses, baWdy houses, etc.. are allowed
to run until they become old and es
tablished things in the city, when here
tofore, under other administrations,
these things were nipped in the bud?
Is it due to the inefficiency of our
officers or is it the policy of the repub-
lican administration to let these places
run without interference?

AT 6:45 o'clock yesterday Sunday
morning, VIM. Harrison, the timer,
passed off easily and quietly to his long
rest. Mr.. Harrison has been sufferer
with bladder trouble for years, being
subject to attacks such as the one he
has been ailing with since Christmas,
hence bis death was wholly unlocked
for. His family and frieuds are
plunged into deep mourning. They
have the heartfelt coincidence of the
entire community, for they are worthy
people and the deceased was sterling
man in life, highly respected by all.
Mr.. Harrison's last days have not been
as happy and comfortably spent as they
should have been. He invested much
money in public enterprises here in
Provo and lost, and the Edmunds-
Tucker law completely upset his family
relations. he agreed to obey that law,
and did most strictly, living entirely
alone in room separated from his work
shop His family have repeatedly made
overtureS to him to come an live with
them, but he sternly avoided everything
that could even be suspected of being
a violation of the law, and not until
Saturday when he himself began to
realize that his last attack of sickness
was more serious than the former ones
had been could he be got to consent to
go to his residence. He was taken ill
on Christmas day, the direct result of
extra work, he on that daY having
undertaken to move in order to save
rent as notice had been served upon
him that his rent was to be raised.
The deceased was past six!y-six years
of age and leaves large family and
many friends to mourn his loss. Fun
eral will be held from the Fourth ward
Westinghouse tomorrow Tuesday at
10 O'Clock. Friends are invited.
