City Hall Burglars.

CHICO, Nov. ia detective from San
Francisco arrived here last Friday night,
made the acquaintance Of Marshal Wilson,
and Saturday proceeded to the old Wood
man warehouse lot to locate the spot where
stolen goods from the San Francisco police
property office were reported buried. The
detective had diagram of the place as de-
sciibed by the thieves now under arrest in
San Francisco. At the detectives request
the Marshal sent man down with a pick
and shovel to dig for the treasure.
The spot was difficult to locate. as the
warehouse was burned since the treasure
was buried. All Saturday afternoon was
spent in digging. but no treasure was found.
The burglars said that after the robbery in
San Francisco they came and operated in
Sacramento, Marysville. Chico and RED
Bluff. AT the latter place they operated on
the safe of L. ii. ID. LANCE, but were
scared off. They came back to Chico. but
were closely Swallowed, and afr aid of being
arrested and searched they decided to bury
the plumber. A full set of burglars tools
was among the goods said to be buried on
the old Woodman lot. The detective has
returned with one Of the robbers to locate
the exact spot where the treasure was
buried. 1t is thought he was sent on q
wild-gOOSe chase.

the role of modern Jason" within the
last few days, having been searching in the
vcnities of Chico and Red Bluff for the
golden fleece which Barney Maloney and
James Marshal fllched from the police prop
erty clerks depository.
Seymour arrived in Chico last Saturday
night and on the following day held long

was reported that the search had been I'M
successful, but when spoken to on the sub

care TO enter in to the details, but did send
one of my men up there and part of the
goods we're recovered from Chico and q part
at Red Bluff
When asked about the money he said :
No; did not expect to get that, and any
way, there would only be thirds of the
entire steal here, as Cukely skipped out of
New York with his one-third. l cannot say
what the value Of the watches is, as there
are SO many OF them that we're not worth
anything to speak of-common nickel plated
stuff, you know.
There was one watch, however valued
at SEQ, which has failed to turn up. Both
the men now in custody here swear they
never saw it, while the chain which was on
it was recovered, and l believe that Cokely
sunk the tiulepiece and took it with him.
he would do that on his pals, as it was
shown that such an action by him in the
East led to his apprehension and convic-

men is TO return to Chico and Red Bluff with

the stolen goods ?'

SHARKS IN TIE BAY.
The Man-Eater Not Included in
the Regular List.

The fact that fourteen foot shark, large
enough to be man-earer twice over, is ON
exhibition at Fisherman's Wharf, having
been caught right in the bay" has had
tendency to give local bathers a stiff nervous
shock. They want to know if any more of
the "critturs" have taken out naturalization
papers and IL so how soon shark exclusion
act can be put In force.

the fishermen as dogs" They range In
length from two to five feet, and when
caught are slashrd with knife and thrown
overheard, for the fishermen do not want
them at any price. Numbers of these dog
fish are caught from the wharves with large
hooks fastened on wire and baited with a
whole herring, a chunk of halibut or any,
thing that makes big, savory mouthful.

Bahamas follow the current right up to
Cape May, where they often terrify bathers.
