DESPERATE OLD CEMETERY.
Cows StaIlcd in Pioneer Burial Ground
Tear Up Tombstones.

Much indignation has been aroused
today among some of the north side
residents over further depredations
upon the old cemetery across the
river. George Peebler declares that
while coming down to the business
section from his home today. he no.
ticed one of the marble slabs about
100 yards away from the old burial
ground. 1t had evidently been pull
ed up from its location and dragged
from the cemetery by n COW that was
taxed there yesterday.
In view of this and the general state
OF neglect into which the old cemetery
has been allowed to fall there is a
general demand that steps be taken
Mt once looking toward the improve
ment of conditions at the old burying
ground.
