Graveyard Fire Draws Attention Of Firefighters Fire Dot* filifht Item*** la OU Everett Graveyard Near Ge noa Ult Week <By E D. HAM. County Froest Warden) On Wednesday night. January 5 aoon after dark, a bright light was to be seen from W. F. Moore's ilore at Genoa, near Crescent Lake This ! light wit In the direction of the Old Everett Graveyard, a short dig' tance to the north of the lake Mr Moore telephoned J. B. Craw ford, foreman of the Dudley fire tower, about the light; and in a fvw minutes Mr. Crawford arrived with hm fire-fighting equipment. Sever al of the bovs around the store went with h n to the old graveyard und th»ro 'JtP' found » fire burning broom straw inside of tlie enclos ure about the graveyard Rome of the hoys knew where the gate was to the gruvevard and In » few nrnutes they had the fiiC under control The next, day Mr. Crawford re porter! the lire to me. Having a fire star*, at rnght in a lonely grave yard was so unusual that I drov« over to the tower with the fore man to make further investlgatior I to find how the fire could start in a graveyard after night. The graveyard ts enclosed by a strong, high, steel fence with steel poets—the fence being about 0 feet high—set In concrete. The fence encloses about ten acres of land, It; which is the Everett graveyard This fence was built a few' years ago by one of the descendants ot the Everett family, who several years ago went north and became president of the Montgomery Ward Company, having gained much wealth. The people around Cres cent I~ake like to tell about him He it was who came hack here sev eral years ago nad put this strong fence around the resting place ot his forefathers. There are several Rarves with markers giving the names and ago* of the Everetts hurled there. Sev eral of them date back for more than 1W) years. The Everett fam ily was one of the leading families of this county. At that time there was a little town between Cre&oenl Lake and Dudley, Just across the railroad from the Dudley tower known as Fvercttsville. There sev eral of their great family lived This town was the business, social and political center for the county In that day. It is well worth one’s time tr visit this old graveyard and read the inscriptions on the marker*, and sit around and meditate or the good old days away back there If it had not been for the fire in the grmvevard nt night this little story would not have been written. Some of you want to know If we found the cause of the fire. Yes, we found whnt caused It, but not who caused It. At one comer of the fence we found where someone, not know ing there was a gate, had beaten down the barb wire and climbed over the high fence at the comer: and a short distance away from the corner thev had pulled the wire tip at the bottom to let the do* come under While the hunter and the dog were in the enclosure be tween sunset and dark nonarentlv the man lighted a cigarette and dropped it or a match setting fire to the straw. The moral to this little story ! Evervone. especially hunter* | should be careful with matches and I cl caret tea AS I SEE IT BY I. R.

It seems to me that a bill ahould be debated with reference to It* merits, and then voted on. and either passed or re'ected We have passed many bad bills, and rejected many good bill* but there is slwsys a chance to ad - lust the mistake, and never allow ing the Ibwb to be considered for a vote is much worse than pasting ■ bHd law. In this particular Incident the bill Is an anti-lynchlng measure. Those who onoose the hill do not ottemot to justify lynching, but call the measure sn infringement of State* Rights. Nor do they offer » solu tion In their opposition. Logically it follows that they are In favor of lynching Not all lynching Is done in the south and not all lynch in J^-lctlm* are colored Is the South bringing criticism to herself, by raising so much opposition The states have hud yearr to suppress lvnchings and have {piled miserably It is up to the Federal Government to do something about it. Those -curie officers who uill bo prosecuted for allowing a mob to try their prisoners, instead of a court, have failed in their duly, and it is Just compensation that they be rewarded for their good perform ances. and lepiimanded for their bad ones Tf a man deserves death for h crime, every state provides a ( legal channel for this punishment. But if you don't agree with the! provisions r>f this measure, ana It that is the majority, the measure should be rejected Congress nas too much business to finish, work the President outlined for them, to stall any legislation.
