the great watermelon theft of 1923. The site is the location of the current library. The photo is a reenactment of the moment that Otis Macelhalon was saying "Hand over my melons ya thieves!" Gustov Fantelman and a young juvenile were later arrested, and charged with Grand Theft Watermelon. This was just the start of the great garden robberies of the mid 20's.
