s4HED ON THE WHITE.
A list Of the H. -Fated Sehooaer's Officers
aud Cretc.

SEATTLE, WASH, May 3.-The
schooner George W. White cleared from
this port on July IA, 1894, for a years
cruise in the North Pacific Ocean and
Bering Sea. Her crew was signed by
United States Shipping Commissioner J.
]. Burns and was as follows:
Master, J. L. Wheeler; mate, Steve
Baretech; cook, II. Buttee; hunters ed
ward Pomeroy, Andrew Danielson and
Justin Chenoweth; seamen, Richard Red
mond, c. Morris, Louis a. Burrell, John
Harrison, Chris Swanson, Robert Baxter.
Henry Parker; cabin-boy, James Carton.
Her dimensions were: Net tonnage.
35.7 y; length, 61.2; breadth, 1874; depth,
So. She was built in 1890 at Port Mad
ison, Washington.
The George r. White and her crew were
well known here. She was owned by Paul
Paulson of Laconnor, and was fitted out
for her cruise by Hibbard & Norton of this
city.
Captain Wheeler is one OF the best-known
sealing masters on the sound, and is said
to be a capable, daring navigator. During
his cruise on the Volunteer, little twelve
ton schooner, Captain Wheeler went up as
far as Copper Island, which is consider
ably further up than any large schooners
have ever gone.
Justin Chenoweth, one of the hunters
and owners, is also well known at this port.
His home IS at Laconnor, and he went
along to represent his and Paulson's inter-
ests.
1t was the intention of Captain Wheeler
when he left here last summer to hunt
during the balance of the season in Bering
Sea. and as winter approached TO go south
toward the Hawaiian Islands, and then
on to the California coast. near Santa
Barbara, when he would cruise along up
the coast and hunt the seals that are sup
posed to migrate in that direction at this
season.
Instead of carrying out that plan he
undoubtedly wintered near Kodiak. Of
Kodiak and extending northward over
distance OF 20O miles is what is called the
FortIock Banks, where there is excellent
hunting and which affords good harbor
in the winter season, and probably he has
been hunting there all winter.

Claiming B. Barnes, who, with one Hyatt,
robbed the Ontario State Bank OF 5000
few months ago, is now safely lodged in
San Quentin for term OF six years. OFF,
GERS of the law now suspect him. on cir
cumstantial evidence, OF having killed
Hyatt, his partner in the crime
While Barnes was confined in Jail await
ing trial he formed plan OF escape, in
conjunction with friends on the outside of
the jail. Failing in this he pleaded guilty,
refused 10 defend his case in court and en-
listed the Rev. DR.. Frost and other prorni-
nent citizens in his behalf to secure q light
sentence.
1t is now supposed ne did this to escape
discovery of the crime OF numbering his
companion. After securing the booty at
the bank they drove TO the Rincon hills
and there left their team and hid in the
mountains
Barnes stated that he repeatedly de-
tected Hyatt in the act of raising a rock
to beat out his brains, and only protected
himself by compelling Hyatt TO go on be-
fore him at the point OF a revolver. Tne
next morning they divided their money
and boarded the train for Los Angeles, and
from that day to this no trace OF Hyatt has
been found.
The officer who took Barnes to San Quen-
tin detected him in conversation with two
toughs on the journey there. Barnes
movements were so suspicious on several
occasions on the way that the officer took
extra precautions 10 prevent his escape.
He is not now the penitent man he ap-
peared to be when pleading with the court
for light sentence.
Barnes story OF Hyatt's movements is
considered fimsy. and it is supposed the
balance of the banks money is now in a
cache somewhere in the Chino hills, known
only to Barnes. The officers believe the
body OF Hyatt may vet be found TO tell
the story OF double crime.
