Let Authorities Offer Reward
Last Saturday night some unknown
party or parties stripped the bark off of
a number of shade trees on C H Boy
les residence property utterly ruining
several fine trees This work of wanton
and cowardly destruction and mutila
tion is becoming too common and fre
quent The Tribune urges the city
authorities to curb this contemptible
tendency by offering a suitable cash re
ward for information leading to the ar
rest and punishment of those responsi
ble for these mean acts of vandalism
Nothing will more thoroughly discour
age such crimes against property and
the rights of citizens than a residence of
thirtv davs in the county jail and the
imposition of a suitable fine
