years. Some weeks ago the citizens of
Coralville, a small town three miles

location of the cemetery at that place.
and the old graves We're exhumed and
the bodies moved to the new location.
There was Aome opposition, of a rather
violent nature to this proposition in
some quarters, and considerable feel
ing developed over the matter.
Last night, unknown parties, pre-
those who opposed the moving of the
old cemetery, entered the new plot
which had just been dedicated Sun
day and completely undid the work ex-
pended in identifying the last resting
place of the dead, by chopping fifty or
more of the evergreenS planted there,
cutting the woven wire fence around
the grounds, and otherwise venting
their spleen towards the community.
The matter was Immediately put into
the hands of the county attorney and
the sheriff, and they are pushing the
investigation with vigor. The act is
the most shocking dissertation of things
