ing $50 pounds OF prepared opium Of the
highest quality were found in the barn of
Ephraim Gardner, who was arrested at
Redwood, Tuesdvy night, and from whom
aqoat / 900 pounds of opium were taken
by custom officials at that time. II is
believed that Gardner was one Of the
chiefs in the ring Of smugglers engaged
in the opium trade. The goods were
concealed in GARDENERS barn by the
novel means of room bnilt of baled hay,
the entrance being at the top, in the centre
nf which loose hay was stuffed. Upon the
removal Of this hay the room was discov-
cred. The opium seized was piled on the
floor. 1t is believed that the smuggling
