Heath, who runs n second hand storo In this city, has been undor tho survolllcncc ot tho officers for tho past two weeks, and Saturday night at 10 o'clock was arrested as ho stepped from his car In tho rear of hla place of business by Sheriff S. E. Iloberts, In company with L. A. W. Nixon and IL II. Do Armond, prose cuting attorney. A search of tho car was mado and 17 quarts of liquor confiscated Previous to tho arrest of Heath tho officials drovo to tho D. P. Strubblo ranch, about four mites cast of tho city, and mado a search of tho prem ises. Tho officials had been notified that boozo had been cached on tho placo, which was under lcaso by Paul Derg, and the officers waited until they wero suro that both Hers and Heath had corao to Dend boforo mak ing tholr Investigation. A collar bo neath tho houso. strongly barricaded with two padlocks, was broken Into, but revealed nothing but a flask con taining less than one-half pint ot whiskey. Find Cache in Garden. Not being satisfied that the small amount of liquor discovered, in the cellar was tho total amount on tho place, Sheriff Roberts went out Into tho garden. Dcsldo a row of cur rant tushes ho discovered what might have appeared to tho casual obsonrcr a freshly planted row of vegetables. Having a suspicion that the row might bo a blind for a whiskey cache, Roberts secured a sharp pointed stick and commenced prob ing. At tho end nearest tho houso ho discovered almost Immediately a sack which had contained whiskey. This could bo determined by tho odor. Within a few feet moro two bottles wero unearthed, then another empty sack and more whiskey. Thin continued down the entire row, until 15 quarts had been taken. Accord-, ing to tho number of empty aacka secured, It Is tho opinion of the of ficials that at least 250 quarts had at one time been burled ln tho garden. Uerg wns arrested about 2 o'clock In tho morning after tho officials had determined In tholr own minds that ho was Implicated In tho sale of tho booze. Tho Strubble ranch Is under leaso to him nnd ho has been sleep ing In tho Heath storo In this city. Tho men were released on a $500 cash bond, and the preliminary hear ing but was postponed until thla afternoon, when Heath pleaded guilty and has not yet been sentenced.
