THE BINKLE FORTUNE.A DeNceuUnni Prevented from Diff* IcIuk Open a Grtive.Last August an article was written by George W. McCardell for the Williamsport Leader relating a tradition that an immense fortune was due the Dinkle heirs and a parchment buried with Peter Dinkle contained secret information which would lead to a recovery of fabulous weatli.‘ John Dinkle, of Maryland,'1 says the York Daily, “appeared on the scene Monday and after a conference with some of his kin, decided to open Peter Dinklo's grave, in the Christ Lutheran church yard, at York, and recover the famous wealth-freighted document. At 1 p. 111. workmen were on hand to begin the disinterment, when Edwin Myers, a Dinkle de scendant, appeared and protested, threatening the workmen with legal penalties if the body should be dis turbed. Mr. Myers stated that the McCardell story was a fake, tint his mother was prerent when the alleged parchment was put in Peter Dinkie's coffin, and that the paper put in contained the certificate of the twelve godfathers of Peter Dinkle only. After considerable parleying, it was decided to let the bones O' Peter Dinkle rest, and the fabulous fortune with it.”
