GHOULS AT A GRAVE.
They Break In the Colin of a China
man Recently Buried

Brunswick, Ca. May 22.-Ghouls en-
tered Palmetto cemetery last night and
attempted to rob the grave of All Sam. a
recently buried Chinaman, but failed for
some unknown reason. The grave pre-
scented a horrible sight to-day. The COT
fin had been raised almost on end and
the top broken in, bringing plainly to
view the half decomposed remains of the
Celestial The odor arising from it was
fearful and some believe it was this the
ghouls ran from. The object was clear
ly robbery, as il was known that money
was in the coffin when All Sam was
buried several days ago. The funeral pro-
cession was followed to the cemetery by
crowds The Cinnamon mourners scat
tered money all the way out. Before
leaving the laundry $40 in coin was scat
tered over the body in plain view of the
crowd, and this, together with other I'M
usual incidents connected with the funer-
al, was made much of by the press The
ghouls evidently expected to reap a rich
harvest but whether they were fright
ened off by some one or were unable to
stand the odor after breaking the coffin
in cannot now be told. The body was re-
inferred and the authorities are working
on the case.

Whereas, the efforts put forth by the

confidence.
Resolved, That we encourage our people
