    100 Years Ago: Vandals disrupt child’s grave looking for gold – Greeley Tribune

    100 Years Ago, for the third week of June 1922, from the pages of the Greeley Tribune-Republican newspaper:


    On a farm between Greeley and Windsor, a child's grave has been disrupted by people who apparently thought gold was buried with the girl, who died 60 years ago. The farm is owned by Indian Smith, and the girl's grave is considered a Greeley Monument. Police said the grave, markers and fence were destroyed. Police said it is believed a fortune-teller believed the grave had gold. None was found and police are still looking for the vandals.

    The price of butter in Greeley has taken a 2-cent increase. No. 1-grade butter is now 34 cents per pound and no.-2 grade is 31 cents.

    In what is usually a quiet time for the fire department, the firefighters were called out three times in just 12 hours Wednesday. The first was for a false alarm at the sugar factory, second was at some apartments, where a short circuit caused a very small fire, and the third call was a rubbish fire in the 1500 block of 10th.

    In Frederick, when four Colorado State Rangers tried to arrest a man during a coal strike, the union coal miners attacked the rangers, injuring them. It was a near-riot, and several miners were jailed.

    A veteran of the Great War in Germany, was wounded by a machine gun from a German aeroplane. He fought for life for four years after the war. He had 50 operations to close the wounds, and 18 bullets removed from his body. Fourteen ribs, a collar bone and a shoulder bone were removed from his body. He just died this week.

    Summer heat continues in Greeley, with official temperatures ranging from 96 degrees to 107. The coolest place in town is the new courthouse, because they installed huge fans.

    Several children have been cited for shooting off illegal fireworks in Greeley. Ordinances limit the firecracker times on the 4th of July, but many are already being shot off. Children will have to appear in court and pay fines.

    Four Americans, flying near the Mexico-California border, were forced to land in Mexico because of engine problems. They were arrested by Mexican Border Patrol for trespassing into the country without permission. The plane was also seized.
