CONFESSED HE STOLE THE GOLD
Jack Winters Proved to be the Man
Wanted-ShOwed Where He
Had Concealed 1t.

San Francisco, Aug. 11.-Jack Win
tiers, who was arrested for the Selby
smelling robbery, has confessed the
crime, and so far $150,OO0 worth of
bullion has been recovered from the
bay where he had sunk it. For three
days the detectives tried all sorts of
intimidation to make Winters con-
fess, but their threats apparently had
no effect upon him. Finally he asked
to see Supt. Ropp, of the works, who,
he said, was the only friend he had. In
his conversation with Ropp, Winters
manner indicated that he knew where
the gold had been hidden. Ropp tald
him that they had a strong case
against him, and that he would be
sent to prison for 80 years. He said
you will be an old man when you
get out, and it will do you no good to
hide the gold. We know it is hidden
in the water near the works, and we
will search every inch. You may be
sure that the gold will be found before
you get out of prison"
Winters finally weakened, and told
Ropp that he had taken the gold, and
would take him to the spot where it
was hidden. The criminal, in
company with Supt. Ropp and
force or detectives, left
on a tug for Crockett. There they
waited all night for low tide. Win
tiers pointed out the place, at the end
of the railroad wharf, be-
hind the coal bunkers, at the
beginning of the Vallejo ferry
slip. At that point at low tide the
mud is about four feet deep, covered
bv foot of water. When the tug
first reached Crockett, Winters point
ed out the spot in the water where
he said he had thrown the gold.
Winters himself got into the mud
and water up TO his neck. and for an
hour and half CROPPED for the
missing bullion. Up to two
o'clock $4,000 worth had been
recovered. This includes the four
hers of fine gold. Winters had put
some of the bars in bags. He said that

SMILES.

Smile a little smile little,
AS You go along,
Not alone when life is pleasant,
But when things go wrong.
Care delights TO see you frowning,
Loves TO hear you sigh;
Turn a smiling face upon her,
Quick the dame will fly.
Smile little, smile little,
All along the road;
Every life must have its burden.
Every heart its load.
Why sit down in gloom and darkness,
With your grief to SUPP
As you drink Fate s bitter tonic,
Smile across the cup.
Smile upon the troubled pilgrims
Whom You pass and meet
Frowns are thOrns, and smiles are
blossoms
Oft for weary feet.
Do not make the way seem harder
BY a sullen face,
Smile little, smile little,
Brighten up the place.
Smile unon your undone labor;
Not for one who grieves
Ger his task waits wealth or glory;
He who smiles achieves.
Though you meet with loss and
sorrow
In the passing years,
Smile little, smile little,
Even through your tears.
