California's capital city of SACRAMENTO The statue of a 19th century Northern California rancher and meat-packing magnate was decapitated, leaving investigators in the state's capital city scratching their heads. There is a $1,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for the befell of the statue. There was a head on the ground. As part of the California Gold Rush, Swanston traveled from Ohio and realized he would make more money as a butcher. Police are trying to figure out if the vandals had a beef with the Swanston or if it was a random act. Eymann doesn't know why anyone would do this to the statue. This is very strange. A famous San Francisco artist during the Great Depression era was the creator of the statue. His son commissioned the statue in the 1920s and donated it to the city after Swanston's death in 1912 at the age of 101. William Land Park was the location of the family's ranch. If it weren't for Eymann's son donating, the city wouldn't have put up a piece. She said that it was a very special place and that it had been destroyed.
