As two suspects burglarized the pumphouse in the cemetery, they were stopped by Deputy Broome. Deputy Broome was attacked and beaten by the burglars who fled the scene. When a fellow constable reported to duty the next day, he found Deputy Broome lying face down in the rain, with a fractured skull.
