Tulip Bed Robbed

The beautiful tulip bed at the
G.. E. Larson home was ruth
lessly attacked late Monday
evening and over fifty of the
choicest blossoms carried away.
Mr.. Larson, who is a real con-
niseur of flowers and an artist
in identifying his grounds, has
for several years, had one OF the
most beautiful tulip beds in the
city and the flowers were the
source of as much pleasure to
the passers-by and the people
of the neighborhood as to the
inmates of the Larson rome.
The plumber of Monday night
was a dissertation which every
citizen will regret. It is hard
to realize that even the children
of the city, have so little respect
for private property-and there
are indications that the work
was done by people past the
child age.
