BARNEY CARROLLS CACHE.
How II Was Unearthed by Officers
Hint0rS and Hayes.
Three Kegs of Stolen Powder and
Several Pairs of Stolen
Foot-Gear.

Barney Carroll, one of the witnesses
Ey whom it was sought to prove an alibi
for L. L. Callendine on the latters re-
cent trial as ringleader in the robbery
OF the street car company's office last
December. slept in the County Jail last
night
He was arrested yesterday by Deputy
Sheriff Hunters and Police officer Hayes
on suspicion of having received stolen
goods with a full knowledge Of the, fact
that they were stolen. At all events,
the goods were found in his possession
all right and it remains for Carroll TO
satisfactorily explain how he came by
them.
Some time ago a quantity of powder
was stolen from Schaw. Ingram q
Batcher's magazine just east of the
city, and until it was found yesterday
in CAROLS possession its whereabouts
was a mystery. Some months ago sew
eral safes were blown open, and it is
supposed the powder used was some OF
that stolen from the magazine.
Among other untraced robberies that
were committed about the time the car
office was robbed, and subsequent there
to, was the theft of number of pairs OF
shoes from Geiser & Kauf1nan's store
on j street, and more recently several
citizens have complained of the loss of
garden hose and other articles.
Yesterday Officer Hayes obtained from
a boy a clew that induced him to call
On Sheriff Johnson, and the latter offi-
cial detailed Deputy Hunters to accom-
pany Hayes outside the city in search
Of some stolen goods that were cached
down the river.
The officers went straight to CarrolPs
boathouse in the river opposite Oak Hall
four miles south of the city. They found
& woman in charge, and she piloted
them to a spot in the brush where Car
roll was indulging in a siesta, while
myriad of flies were holding picnic
about his mouth and eyes.
Carroll was sleeping off a jag which
ne had bought with The proceeds of
recent sale of a bundle of new garden
hose The officers succeeded in routing
the flies and temporarily putting a stop
to their barbecue, and then they set
about rousing Carroll.
The officers did not expose their stars.
Hayes told Carroll he was an attache
of the Schaw, Ingram & hatcher es-
tablishment, and was trying to trace
some powder they had lost some time
ago. He had heard it was in that vicin-
ity.
Carroll was not as stupid as he ap
peared to be, and il took about a half
hour of good, hard pumping for the Off
GERS to get any information from him.
Finally he admitted having found some
buried kegs Of powder on the Yolo side
Of the river, and promised to go across
with Hunters and show 1t to him. He
got his boat and took the Deputy
across and there dug up two 23-pound
kegs and a smaller one of the explosive,
which he said he had cached In a new
place Carroll also admitted having
found the coil of hose which he sold a
DAY or two ago to Bush Quinn of Oak
Hall
When Carroll was found asleep in
the willows his head was resting on a
well-stuffed sack, and when the officers
disclosed the nature Of their business
there and took possession Of the sack,
they found it contained several pairs
OF new shoes with Geiser & Kaufmans s
stamp on them
The officers are satisfied Carroll has
other stuff cached somewhere in that
vicinity. They gathered up what they
found in sight, however, including Car
roll himself, and brought the lot to the
CITY
