Stealing Flowers from The Cemetery

N''Sss'A"h HAO"eF 9FOfn tbe cemetery
For some time persons have been
stealing flowers from the cemetery, and
the keeper has been unable to find out
who the parties were. Yesterday he
caught small negro girl named Annie
W1Se.who was out in Cedar Grove ceme-
terry with baby carriage. The girl had
the carriage full OF choice flowers that
she had stolen from different lots. Mr.
Dashiells. the keeper. arrested her. and
turned her over to Officer Hoofnagle,
VINO locked her up. In an interview
with her she said that q girl named
Nora who lives on County street, had
also stolen flowers. They will both have
hearing this morning. It matters not
how old the girls are they should be
severely punished and possibly it would
break up the practice of stealing flowers
On Memorial Day a lady living OH Din
Widdic street paid SIS for a design and
carried 1t to the cemetery. She had
not put 1t In her lot more than twenty
minutes before it was taken by q lady
who would hate to be called anything
but lady. The owner Of the design.
in walking around the cemetery, saw the
woman who took her design out
Of her lot, and told her that she had
stolen the same. and that she would give
her fifteen minutes to return the same or
else she would have her arrested. 1t Is
not necessary to say that the design
was returned. This kind of business
has been carried on for some time, and
1t should be broken up in some way.
