GHOULS
AT WORK
ITALIAN MINERS AT ADAMsToN
BELIEVED TO HAVE ROBBED A
GRAVE IN THAT VICINITY.
Exhumed the Body of a Young Heifer
and Have Had Roast Beef Ever
since.-Fear Entertained Lest
There May be More Sc
rious Depredations.

Ghouls have been plying their de-
testablc vocation ut Adamston and the
west has no longer the worlds record
along that line The people of that
nustling suburb are Mortified to know
that such exists in their midst and,
though the nature of the grave robbery
just discovered is not serious, yet they
know not the hour when the final rest
ing place of deceased friends may be
disturbed. The depreciation in question
was committed by Italian miners in the
employ of the Pittsburg and Fairmont
Fuel company ait the Perry mines. The
engineer who harls coal cars to and
from the mines on the track that
railroad, accidentally struck and killed
a young heifer with his moguI. An APP
praiser assessed the damage, the com
pany pays the owner of the heifer on
account Of her death, and then tho car
cass was buried. Several Italians were
there at the time. watching the proceed
ings. They seriously objected to the
disposition of so much beef in this way,
but che body was buried nevertheless.
Nothing more was thouglrt of the mat
ter, until nest morning, when the en-
gineer noticed that the body Of the heifcr
had been eshumed. There was no ves-
tige of the c=rrcass left. Just what be-
came of what had been mortal of the
leifer is not known, but it is conjec.
tured, with very good grounds, that the
Italians have been living on roast beef
since then.
