TTTK OMAHA STWDAY BUB: APIUL 20, 101.1. Council Bluffs FROST CEMETERY ABANDONED Farm is Sold -and Bodiei Removed to Another Location. SOME BURIED NEARLY 50 YEARS Graves of Some of the rlonrem of Western lonn Arc Opened Under the Direction of l.ocnl Undertaker.

The cemetery is located on the Frost farm and It has been used ns the burial place fbr the members and relatives of one of the oldest and most prosperous families In tho county. The farm has been sold and the bodies are being taken up ana reburled, mostly In tho darner cemetery, whose site Is perpetually dedi cated for cemetery purposes. Some of the bodies removed were placed In the cemetery nearly fifty years ago. Of these but little remains. Hough boxes, . In somo Instances, were found to bo en tirely gone; In others there were but crumbling streaks through tho soil. In all such cases nothing but tho bones of the skoleton and tho hair remain. Tho hair In every Instance was found to have withstood the assaults of the dissolving agencies with a tenacity equalled only by tho enamel of the teeth, which np- , pcared to bo untouched. All of Uje costly " trappings had entirely disappeared, and . every scrap of metal hail corroded or J rusted away. It wns noticeable that J where tho coffins were not even thor oughly decayed only the odor of earth was discernible. j Among the bodies that have been re i moved are those of llobert Frost, Jr., J who died In 1871 at the nge of 20 years; tVllhelmlna Frost, who died In 1S30. aged S5 years; Itobert Frost, sr., 1S3I. aged 73; Busonna Frost. 1897. 76 years; Patrick yMoCann. 1891, 76 years; Kllxabeth Mc Cann. 1S97, aged 37 years; George Hel j.vern, 1870, aged 7 years; John William Metts, 1SS1, aged 15 years; Mary llob crts, 1SS5, 71 years; John It. ItobcrU, ISSJ, 85 years old. All of tho caskets were of wood, and " It was observed that no matter how solidly nailed together the nails had rusted away and the coffins foil apart when tho supporting earth was removed. One grave appeared to have been made In a plaoo where tho ground remains abnormally damp and both rough box and casket were well preserved. Some of the bodies yet to be removed will be reburled In Falrvlew comotery, In this city, and some will bo taken to Missouri Valley for reinterment.

The feat of stealing nearly twenty miles of coppor telegraph wire, and getting away with It s adroitly that not a discernible traco was left, was the ac complishment of junk thieves, suppoiod to bo located either In Council Bluffs or Omaha or perhaps both. The wlrs was tripped from the poles of the Western Union and Long Distance Telephone companies from tho lines Just east of the city In the tornado district. The wlro was missed yesterday morning when men went to the point to resume their work of reconstructing the lines. The wires wore on tha right-of-way of the Rock Island railroad. The storm left the wires In a tangled condition, trnd Immediately after the storm temporary lines were run. Tho telephone company bad nearly 100 wires and the yestern Union and the railroad com , pany had a number of copper lines. 8! nee the storm linemen hays been en f raged tn unwinding the tangled skeins. Thursday night four strands, nearly five miles long were left-lying on the ground, all more or less twisted together. When the linemen went to the locality yester day all of them had "been cut up and parried away. Traces Indicated that several gangs of looters had worked, apparently simul taneously, at widely separated places, cutting up the wire and loading It Into TWagoni. 1nn.ll Bearing noller skates, $t a pair. r.

Goodrich, died last evening at the Goodrich hotel from the affects of a mysterious disease contracted In tho gold fields of South Africa, and which has beon designated as "miners' phthysls." Mr. Goodrich spent fourteen years In South Africa, and had acquired large and profitable mining Interests there when ! the development ot the disease, which has proved so deadly to muny workers In tho mines, forced him to leave. Ho ar rived hero on April 7 of last year, and It was only due to his tmpatlenaa to got home that ho did not become a Titanic victim, He had planned to sail on tho Titanic but when ho reached London he con cluded to tnko pasuago on a White Star llnor that left JubI a 1 week ahead of the fated ship. After reaching Council Bluffs physicians advised him to go to a dry, warm climate, and ho soon loft for Arlxonn, where he remained until hope of recovery was abandoned, and he came homo to din. Ho reached hero Just a week ngo,' accompanied by his wife, who had been with htm nil the time. Mr. Goodrich was a Council Bluffs man who had shown ability to do things. While still In the high school here, ho grow tired ot his tamo surroundings and quietly went away. He advised his parents of his arrival nt San Francisco, but did not acquaint them With any defi nite plans he had formed. The noxt let ter received from him was u long and enthusiastic account of tho experience he was enjoying In the Hngllsh nrmy opr ntlng against the Boers. It waa ex. tremely bright and full of boyish fervor. Ho modestly detuiled some ot the ex ploits that had attracted favorable atten tlon from the British officers and won him promotion. He loft tho army nt tho end of throe years' service with a record thut became a valuable asset, opening his way Into the Transvaal gold fields. He quickly arose to responsible and lu cratlvo positions and was thus ablo to ac quire valuable mining Interests. The mysterious and fatal disease, how ever, placed a check upon his activities and forced him 'to leave. After ho hud established himself In the Transvaal he returned to this country and was mar ried. He is survived by his widow and one son. Walter, and one daughter, Vlr. gtnla.
