| Someone of malicious intent may have
| injured the Pelini monument in Green
! Mount cemetery and the matter has been
reported to the police, II appears to be
the desire of someone TO hurt the feel

to the police station Sunday evening and
| turned over to Officer Sloan in which
was some oil. The person who brought
the bottle to the station explained that
he found it near the Pelini monument
and that oil had been poured over the
monument Efforts are being made to
remove the oil. If il has not been on the
| stone too long probably the stain can be
removed so that the stone will not be
| damaged
