A GARRULOUs WATCH-THIEF TALKS
HIMSELF INTO JAIL.
He Steals a Couple of Time-Pieces from
Sherburn's Store, and is Cleverly
Caught at Rockiin.

| Last evening man presented himself al
the Office of Chief of Police Lee and told the
following story: He said that on Friday he
met on the street here a man whom he
had known in San Francisco but could not
recall his name. Knowing it to be payday
at the Lincoln placer county, Pottery, and
that frequently men leave their positions
after receiving their months wages, he
concluded to go up there and see if he
could get work.
On the train he met the same man re-
ferred 10, and after they reached Lincoln
the latter handed him a gold watch, asking
him to sell it for him. and to take $25 if be
could get no more. He said he tried sew
eral places, but could not dispose of the
watch and returned it to his companion.
The latter then produce another and
more valuable watch, and asked him to try
and work that off. Again he was unsuc-
cessful, and on returning 1t remarked that
be did not believe his friend had come by
them squarely.
Then the holder of the watches owned
up, and said that while in Sacramento on
that day he saw some cattle being sold at
auction in front of an auction house, and
while everybody was in front of the store
he went around to the alley and gained
entrance al the rear and stole the watches
The man who related this to the police
stated that, not procuring work IN Lincoln,
he decided to return yesterday and lay the
facts before them. AS he was leaving Lin
coin he saw the man with the watches
striking out across the hills in the direction
Of Rocklin.
Chief Lee directed officer Rider to tele-
graph at once to the officers in Rocklin,
Newcastle Auburn and Colfax to look out
for the man, giving a brief description of
him.
In the meantime officer Coffey went to
see if he could learn of anybody having lost
any watches, but could learn of none.
Then officer Rider tried it, and on going to
W. II. Sherburn's place, at 1913 K street,
found that gentleman diligently searching
for a couple of watches that two young
men had left with him to be sold. The
could not find them. 1t was then discov-
cred that they had been taken from the
SAFE
While officer Rider was absent from the
police station telegram was received from
Constable J. NJ. Walden, of Rocklin, TO the
effect that the man had been arrested there.
Accordingly officer Arlington went up on
last nights overland train and will bring
the prisoner here to day.
1t was very clever bit of work, and all
occurred within the space of couple of
hours.
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1890-01-12

worked, as he recounts, to a depth of forty
feet, but twenty-five feet was deemed amply
sufficient for the Sacramento. The machine
is not dredger, but great submarine
pillow, and simply clears out the channel as
it runs. 1t is impelled by three engines. OF
the combined power of ifty-four horses,
ard, while going at the rate of twelve or
more miles an hour, scoops out space SIX
feet deep and forty feet wide. The debris
is showed on either side, so that instead of
the river being weakened, its banks are
strengthened. By working the ground
over up and down the river several times
the whole may be cleared out.
Mr.. Bishop says that with one machine,
costing but $50 600, he can in three months
make the Sacramento nayigable from one
end to the other, as it was before the days
of hydraulic mining and ranchiDg along
the river. The submarine pillow will be
100 feet long, IS feet wide and II feet deep.
Directly under it will be three great cone
shaped screws working to point in
monster cap cone or screw.
Each of the three main screws Is TO be
forty feet long. on which will be fianges or
blades two and half feet deep at the base
and tapering as they turn around the cone
to three inches in depth. The cap cone
which comes over this will be eighteen feet
