DIGGING UP TREASURE
ON NANTICOKE'S BANKS
Gold And Silver Coined Many Years Ago
Have Apparently Been Found BY
Treasure Diggers.

A recent deposit of $500 in gold of "A
coinage prior to 1860, and of large
sum of silver of coinage of over 100
years ago, and suspicious excavations
near Sharptown, Wicomico County, have
led to the belief that buried treasure
has been found These deposits were
made by two men. Another man has
spent great deal of silver in the local
stores. This silver is bright and new
and was coined over so years ago.
II is not believed that this gold and
silver were boarded. The conviction is
general that two or three diggers. fol-
lowing up old clues, have found treasure
trOves.
At an old landmark two miles from
Sharptown. known as Kay Mill.
where buildings more than century old
were torn down recently. money was
found buried beneath the hearth of one
of the chimneys: but the finder refuses
to tell the amount he found. This was
once the home of wealthy merchant,
farmer and vessel-owner, whose buried
treasures were supposed to have been
large On his deathbed he made an
effort to locate the hiding place to his
wife and children: but his strength fail
ed. and he died without leaving the
slightest clue of their exact location.
Excavations were frequently seen. AS
in former years, on small islands. hills
or landings along the rivers and under
large trees or other special or peculiar
places. The digging was done under
the cover of night and with great
secrecy. just preceding and during the
war much money was buried that has
never been found, and the supposed
places of deposits have been brought
down by tradition. Banks then were
few, and in many sections did not exist.
and even when banks were nearby.
farmers and those not familiar with
business methods viewed them with
suspicion.
For several years money digging has
apparently been abandoned in the
section, but, for, at least, a year the
work has been going on clandestinely
with great activity. and evidence of the
work. At a lonely and dismal old wharf
on Cod Creek. just above this town.
known as ''Jakcs Landing, a large ex-
cavation has been made. AT Twiford's,
old wharf, on the Nanticoke River.
where the early settlements of the
town were made and where the first
store was built by man named Dean.
search has been made and much digging
has been done in and around the large
cellar. The building of stone. brick and
timber has long since gone to ruin. In
teresting stories of Deans buried bags
of gold and silver have been handed
down from generation to generation.

Riot At Crisfield.

Ralph Nelson. Crisfeld FISHERMAN,
was tried Wednesday before Justice
Kennerly of that town charged with
poaching oysters from the grounds of
the Tangier Packing Company. At the
trial hundreds of oystermen assembled
and when the Justice found Nelson
guilty the oystermen threatened to
lynch him. Justice Kennerly and the
Sheriff and Policeman backed them
selves into a corner of the room and
made ready to defend Kennerly with
their pistols. Mr.. James +. Ellegood,
counsel for Nelson, pleaded with the
oystermen to observe the law and
finally succeeded in preventing blood
shed. Threats against the life of
Kennerly continued. and finally in
fear of his life he reversed his decision
and set Nelson free. The oystermen
were in an ugly mood all day, and de-
clare there shall be no oyster planting
in Somerset.
