ARUNDEL-ON-THE-BAY
DEPREDATIONS HAVE
MYSTERIOUS MOTIVE
Three Cottages Broken Into In Last
Week. But Investigation Shows
Nothing Missing From Them

Mr. and Mrs. T. Lincoln Townsend
motored here from Washington on
Sunday to visit their cottage at Arun-
del-on-the- Bay which had recently
been broken into. They made a care
full investigation of the premises, and
found that nothing had been taken
therefrom. Bureau and chiffonnier
drawers were found open, but none of
their contents was missing.
The Townsend cottage is one of three
broken into the last week at the sum-
mer colony on the bay. The cottage
of Mr. E. c. Graham. farther down the
beach front was entered on Christmas
night, an entrance being effected
through a back door instead of win
dow, as at the Townsend cottage The
glass in the door was broken near the
lock and the key turned by the per-
sons hands. The Graham cottage was
ransacked, buffet drawers and those of
dressers being left open and contents
scattered about. but nothing is miss
ing. AS the cottage was well supplied
with all kinds of canned goods. pre-
serves, jams, etc, and none was taken.
the object of the intruder can not be
surmised.
At first it was thought some fisher
man or FISHERMAN sought a nights
lodging at these cottages, but beds
were undisturbed and everything left
intact.
The third cottage entered at Arundel
on-the-Bay in the last week is that of
a colored family, the Colberts, whose
home is near Highland Beach. An en-
trance was effected through a window
which was left open as was the rear
door of the Graham cottage, 10th of
which attracted the notice of the care
taker, Mrs. George Tyler. who in each
instance, notified the owners of these
cottagers, all of whom reside in Wash
ington.
