There was a small supply of canned stuff in tins, but it seemed obvious that Ebaugh is specially fond of canned fruit for there were perhaps a hundred empty fruit jars, ranging along the tunnel walls. The sheriff believes most of edibles and clothing in the tunnel is stolen. Many ‘mountain homes and cabins have been plundered in this vicinity in the past year. Toward the end of the tunnel is a cavity on one side, where the miners apparently had started a drift. It is five or six feet deep and in this was found fresh must from the grapes, indicating crude efforts to make wine.

The sheriff thinks Ebaugh rescued -this_ relic from his abandoned Willow Valley, home as a matter of sentiment, for it is very certain he would not dare use it during the past year. Tuesday afternoon, the sheriff backed his pickup truck as near as possible to. the tunnel and with two stout helpers removed Ebaugh’s store of provisions and furniture. He does not propose that Ebaugh have another chance to furnish an underground apartment from this particular hideaway. He has no illusions about Ebaugh he knows he can subsist, but he proposes to make life a little more difficult for him.
