AT CEMETERY
INVESTIGATED
FIRST CLUE IN CONNECTION
WITH THEFTS OBTAINED;
SOME OF ARTICLES LOCAT-
ED

Destruction of markers, orna-
ments and florals placed on the
graves in the cemetery have been
going on for some time and the
office force of the sheriff has
found it difficult matter to put
the finger of guilt on any person
guilty of this dissertation.
However, Deputy Sheriff Ray
Elwood got a clue to the thefts of
the metal markers which have
been disappearing from the
graves of members of the I'm
proved Order of Red Men, and
following the clue found that the
standards, short brass Stats about
Is inches long, had been disposed
of to the owner of a grocery store
at the corner of Petronia and ST.
monitor streets.
The small standards on the
tops of which were screwed the
emblem of the order are now in
the office of the sheriff, and the
trail of the despoilers is being
followed by the sheriff's force.
1t is believed they will eventually
land in Jail.

ANOTHER BIG
NIGHT ATPARK
CROWD. ESTIMATED AT 5000.
ALMOST WITNESSED cATAs.
TROPHE LAST EVENING

--Abeautiful night found anoth-
er large crowd of pleasure seek
erS' at Key West Park, who from
all appearances had what could
be called real big time.
The crowd started coming at
p: m. and continued until well
after midnight, remaining until
the grand prize was awarded at
Big-Hearted Bennie's 6O-foot bin
go. This bingo is proving very
popular, due to the fact that in
dividual players have been
awarded as high as 81 gifts at
one game, and strange as it seems,
the gifts are of the highest class
of merchandise.
Near Catastrophe
The American Eagles continue
to thrill their audiences, and at
last nights performance the large
crowd, estimated at about 5000
persons, almost witnessed a ca
tastrophe, when Fritz Huber, the
boy who does hand stand while
on chair on the high wire, lost
his balance and almost fell from
the high rigging. However, he
righted himslf just when it SEEM
ed he would fall. r.r
This was not known to the pub
lie who thought it was part of
the act, but those connected with
the park, who have seen the act
time and again, realized how close
this young fellow came to falling
to his death or serious injury.
Amelia Rodriguez Won Prize
The many shows, rides and fun
houses were again heavily pa
tronized, and again the public
went away with nothing but
praise for the park, which is be-
ing sponsored by the Key West
Fire Department, and is under
the management of E. H. Phil
bert. For attending last night,
Amelia L. Rodriguez, 1917 Wat
son street, was awarded ten dol
lars.
The park will open at $3.50 p.
m. today and every day. Tomor-
row wednesday, will be a spe-
cial kiddies' day.
Bicycle Parade Tomorrow
The big decorated bicycle pa
rade will form at $3.50 o'clock to-
morrow afternoon at Duval and
Angela streets, and will proceed
on Duval to Greene street, then
to the park, where the bicycles
will be judged and the seven cash
prizes awarded. Boys and girls
not registered for the parade may
do so at the starting point.
Included in the parade will be
Mabel Mack and her Wild West
Show, Leo Carroll with Susie"
and his A trained animals, Lark
ford's Band and other features.
The Citizen Honored
The editorial staff of The Citi-
zen will be guests of the fire
men and Mr.. Philbert tonight,
while carrier boys of The Citizen
