The gift was made some time ago by
one A. Parr, residence unknown, and
who had paid taxes on the land a num-
ber of years before moving away.
When the appraisers were at work re-
cently they come across the deed for
this land, and because it contained the
word “cemetery* 'thought it was a por-
tion of Riverview cemetery west of
the city. Now it is discovered that this
land is on the Arkansas river south of
town. The word “cemetery” was in-
serted in the deed because of the fact
that this tract was once used as a
poor house and detention camp, and.
In the early days, smallpox victims
were interred there. The land today is
quite valuable.

be dropped at all.
