GHOULS AT WORK.

THIS COUNTY GRAVE YARD LOOTED OF I IS DB AO. flr,

V-

Jii

A Horrible Find Superintendent Hargrove, or tne county four Farm—All of the jGraves Supposed to Bare Beeu Robbed of Tlieir Dead, •.

Ghouls at work. It seems that Ghouls have again gotten in their work at the County cemetery. For long years it has been the opinion of our people that the poor buried in the County cemeteay, eaet of the city, remained only a few days, in what was supposed their last resting place, but nothin: could be shown to prove these statements until last Tuesday, when Supt. Hargrove took a crowd of the immates into the field with him to gather corn, be noticed that something was wrong, and an investigation found that the grave of El wood Thomas, of Fortville. who came to the asylum in November, had been tampered with. He at once sent the men to the farm house for picks and spades, and on their return began to dig into tbe grave, aud ou reaching the coffin found that the lid had been broken open and the remains tnken out.

Thomas was buried on New Year's day, and it is thought that the body was exhumed on the night of its burial. He Wets 79 years old and was bordering on the grave with consumption waen segt to the poor house.

The information we got proves to us conclusively that the work is done by parties who live right here in town, but are never known to work, but always seem to have money, and they are now under tbe survellance of the officers, as parties were seen to pass north of the city on the night that the body was Supposed to have been taken, in a covered wagon, in the direction of Indianapolis. It is to be hoped that they will be caught and given a long term in the penitentiary.

Tlie Reputation of a Greenfield Photographer For Fine Work is Becomiug Very Extended.

Greenfield has a photographer who ranks with any in the United States. He has had the experience and has the work which shows for itself. We have heard parties from other states who have seen Mr. Cuyler's work express great surprise at a city the size of Greenfield having such a fine photographer as Mr. Cuyler. The opinion of the general pubUc is also backed up by the judgement of the publisher of the leading Photographer paper of this country. This is shown by the following letter, which we publish in full. OFFICE OF THE ST. LOUIS AUI) CANADIAN

PHOTOGRAPHER.

ST. Louis, Jan. 7, 1896.

W. B. CUTLER, Greenfield, Ind. Dear Friend:—Would be pleased if you would send us some of you pictures, which we wonld like to produce in our Journal in some early issue.

We hear you are doing prosperous work in Greenfield, and were pleased to hear the report and trust the year 1896 may be as prosparoua. Hoping to hear from you soon,

We remain fraternally, MRS. FITZGIBBON CLARK.

It is a great compliment for a photographer to have his work reproduced in the above paper, and especially so when the work is solicited by the publisher. Mr. Cuyler is as modest as he is artistic, but the people of Hancock county may rest assured that they can secure as late work and as good as can be done in the land, right here in Greenfield. O

LOTS pi* FUN

Frances Rockey in the Role of an Ofllcer. For several days, Old Dan Butler a professional, Irish tramp has begging around over tbe city and spending his money as fast as he could get it, for, liquor and should a person refuse to give him money he was no ways backward aoout insulting them.

What to do with the old nuisance became a question, but some of the boys arrauged a pi in to get him out of town, and it worked all right. Thty promised Francis Rockey, a citizen of Oaklahoma (but most of the time in jail) a treat if he would marcii the old fellow across the Brandy wine bridge. Francis was a little dil.atoiy about taking the ib but when a badge, was pinned on his coat he made for his man, and captured him and tried to load the old fellow in a wagon, but he was too much for the newly installed officer, and they rolled and tumbled over the street for sometime, but finally old Dan agreed to walk out and started due ist with Rockey at his heels. He succeeded in getting him out of town much to the satisfaction of our citizens. A good riddance of bad rubbish.

Gant's hall was the scene List evening of oih of the prettiest and most unique entertainments ever given in Greenfield. The occasion was a Leap Year party given by the young ladies to their gentlemen friends and right well did they acquit themselves. The hall was beautifully decorated with ever greens and flags, cozy corners lured one to rest when fa tigued. A punch bowl of iced lemonade was found to be very refreshing. The young ladies never were more charming ani gracious of manner than last evening. The music furnished by John Hoosierand Miss Daisy Brooks was good and the feet of the dancers seemed never to tire. About twelve o'clock the dancing ceased and a delightful lunch was served to which all did justice. It was an occasion long to be remembered in our socie anuals. The program's were evidence of originality on the part of some of our young Misses and quite appropriate to the occasion. One amusing little incident occurred when the "Two Step"—"We Demand Unconditional Surrender" was called, one young man unfurled miniature flags of truce and held them aloft to the surprise and amusement of all present The patronesses of the occasion were Me3dames E L. Tyaer, G. W. Duncan, E. B. Howard, J. F. Mitchell, I. P. Pcul-jon. Amon? the strangers present were Mrs. H. C. Gooding and Mis* Gert rude Gooding, of Los Angeles, Cat, Mr Ellis, of Shelbyville, Mr. Myers, of Indianapolis, Mr. Adair, of Anderson.

The young ladies who had charge and brought to success the entertainment with their untiring efforts were Misses Florence Howard, Tillie New and Gratiot McCune.
