FIFTEEN CRAVE MARKERS
TAKEN FROM CEMETERY

A dispatch from Milton, Delaware to
the Philadelphia North American OF
Saturday, February 2Oth, says;
About fifteen tOmbstones were re-
moved from the burying grounds OF d.
w. Conwell, near Br0adkill Beach,
d. w. Conwell is a business man here
and has family burying ground near
Broadkill Beach, where his ancestors
are all buried.
Yesterday while in that vicinity he
concluded to look over the place with
a view to making the regular spring
repairs. when he found sod removed
from the graves aud about fifteen big
marble and granite tom bstones n issing'
From marks found wagons must
have been driven there and loaded with
the stones. The graveyard was badly
torn up.
The cause Of this ghOulish Work Is
unknown. as Mr.. Conwell knows of.no
enemies who would do such a trick,
and the only explanation offered Is
that, after the Inscriptions were re-
moved from the stones they might
prove valuable.
With such large booty to dispose Of,
the authorities are confident that they
can discover the thieves or vandals,
and will make every effort to arrest
Marble firms and town authorities
throughout Delaware and Maryland
have been telephoned to, and any one
who tries to dispose Of any such stones
