JOSEPH — A swastika was burned into the lawn of a Joseph woman who in May had suggested the Joseph City Council look into the possibility of an ordinance regulating special events in the city.

The swastika was burned into the lawn of Evelyn Swart, 702 N. Lake, on Monday, three days after she had withdrawn the suggestion she had made to the council in May.

Swart’s lawn at 702 N. Lake has four spots where the grass has been burned, including a swastika that is about 3 feet across, said her husband, Don.
