WARSAW, H.. Feb. There are
two immense silver naples that have
been standing in front of the old
Reiman property for the past 60 years.
The recent sleet storm broke a mann
moth limb off of one of them, and it
was then discovered that many of the
smaller limbs were partly decayed and
brittle, endansering the lives of pass
ersby, so the owner has determined
to cut them down. One of them was
felled yesterday: it lay like a great
giant almost blocking the roadway.
At its base it measured over four
feet in diameter and at the first fork
over 6 feet one way it's height was
rs feet, and its mate on the other
side of the front gate is nearly as
large. Together they will easily make
six cords of wood; they are the larg-
est trees in Warsaw and are we'll
worth snap shot for souvenir card.
