4 e THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1896. DURHAM'S TRALL LEADS SOUTHWARD, The Fugitive Is Slowly Toiling Toward Cantua Valley. KEEPS TO TEE BRUSH. Two of the Pursuing Posses Believed to Be Close Upon Him. WOMEN RAISING A REWARD. Liberal Subscriptions Received by the Auxiliary—A Sospect Ar- rested in Oregon. SAN JOSE, CAL., June 5.—Word was received to-day at the Sheriff’s office from Deputy Sheriff Gardner, who has been on the hunt for James C. Dunham ever since the murder of the McGlincy family. Gardner is in the country around Panoche and is pushing ahead rapidly in the direc- tion of Hayes Station, from which point | came the message from the posse headed by Juan Edson. He states that he was informed at Pan- ocheoi the trail found by Edson. He be- lieves that this trail is the true one, and will continue to follow it. Sheriff Lyndon and posse are making for the same sec- tion. Sheriff Maithews of Monterey County telegraphed that he was about to start across country from Salinasto Tu- lare Lake, where he will skirmish about seeking traces of Dunham. The Sheriffs and their posses of the San Joaquin Valley counties are reported to be in the foothills west of the valley, dili- gently ‘guarding the southern passes, through which it is cJaimed Dunham must pass if he continues his course southward. The fact that no message was received from either the posse headed by Sheriff Lyncon or the one headed by Juan Edson is accepted as good evidence that they are close upon the trail of the fugitive. 1t is believed that Dunbham will keep as far distant from either telegraph or tele- phone stations as possible, and that in tracing him the officers have had no con- venient opportunity to send word respect- ing their movements or information which they may have received. Wielands, Wood, Churchill and Valpey, who left this city last night for Tres Pinos en route to Panoche, telephoned at about 8 o’clock this_ evening from Emmett, San Benito County, eighty miles south of this city. They stated that their horses were somewhat fatigued from the hard ride, but | they expected to reach Panoche to-mor row morning ana join one of the other posses during the day. It is believed by the officers that Dun- ham has friends in Tulare County whom he is endeavoring to reach in the hope of finding shelter. It is claimed by those familiar with the country in which the murderer is now supposed to be that he will have great difiiculty in making much progress without being detected, as very rough canyons are not encountered in that vicinity. The fugitive might succeed in hiding for a short time in some of the gulches or in being concealed in one of the cabins of the woodcboppers for a consideration, but this refuge would only be temporary, as Dunham has not funds sufficient to out- weigh the attraction which the rewards being raised would offer. He would have great difficulty in pass- ing through the open country and enter- ing any town or city without being recog- nized, as his pictures have reached every public place in that section, and are sub- jected to close inspection by the residents for miles around. A telegram was received at the Sheriff’s office to-night from Myrte Creek, Oregon, stating that 8 man ha st been arrested there whom the officers believe to be Dunham. It was reqnested that a descrip- tion be telegraphed at onee and a picture gent by the first mail. Under Sheriff Benson sent the description and mailed pictures of the fugitive murderer. Little credence is placed in the report by the officers here, but it is conceded that it is not impossible that the man under arrest is Dunham. The Citizens Executive Committee to- day issued new placards, announcing the rewards offered for the capture of Dun- ham and giving two pictures of the mur- derer. One of these pictures represents him as he appeared in 1834 at the time of his mar- riage, and the other as he appeared in 1889 in the garb of a common ranchhand. The latter picture is displayed, as it is believed Dunham will change his attire in the mountains and escape recognition by those who have seen his picture taken in his wedding clothes. These placards are being widely distrib- uted throughout the State, and the coun- try in which Dunham is now supposed to be hiding is literally flooded with them. At the conference of ladies interested in raising the $10,000 reward fund this after- noon great enthusiasm was shown. Many who had taken subscrivtion blanks on the preceding day reported liberal amounts subscribed. The ladies resolved to wait upon the San Jose Grange, of which Colonel and Mrs. McGlincy were prominent members, to-morrow and urge it to take systematic action to assist in raising the desired fund. . The Woman’s Club will also be visited in the afternoon for the same pur- pose. = The chairman of the citizens’ executive committee this evening stated that he had received letters from many persons in various parts of the country containing checks for yoluntary subscriptions, show- ing that the people were aroused to the importance of raising the fund asa reward for the capture of the murderer. e MOVING TOWAERD CANTUA. Dunham Follows the Coast Range to the Southward. FRESNO, CaL.,Jjune 5—Sheriff Scott has sent two deputies, Lynch and Tim- mins, to Cantua Canyon, about seventy miles southwest of Fresno, to intercept Murderer Dunham. From messages received from Little Panoche Sheriff Scott was convinced that Dunham was working his way southward along the western base of tie Coast Range and would arrive at Cantua within a day or two. Thedistance is between forty and fifty miles. #Vsmina canvon is a rueged country, in- | ineipally by Indians and Mexi- it has long been a hiding piace Sheriff. Scott is working on a theory of hisown, and does not.-believe Dunham will attempt to cross the plains to the swamps along the San Joaquin River. Deputies Timmins and Lynch will reach Cantua to-night. —_—— The Chase Near Hollister. HOLLISTER, CAL., June 5.—The pur- suit of Murderer Dunham ‘was barren of resulis to-day. Under Sheriff Brown and District Attorney Dooling made a mid- night ride to Los Aguilas and found Mc- Avoy, Gardner and Rives worn out; but notwithstanding Brown furnished them fresh horses, and at1o'clock this morn- ing they started for the Cantua country, Wieland, Churchill, Woods and Valpey of San Jose arrived in town early this morn- ing, heading for New ldria. SANTA ROSA RACE MEETING. habited Horsemen Endeavoring to Arrange for a Series ot Equine Contests in Autumn. SANTA ROSA, Can., June 5.—Unless all signs fail there will be a race meeting here this fall. For some time the horse- men of this section have been talking over the project apd at a meeting last night it was definitely decided to hold a meet in this city if possible. o Ira G. Pierce of the firm of Pierce Bros., the well-known owners and breeders of fine horses, was present at the meeting and tendered the use of the firm’s fine track and fair grounds. An_effort will be made to secure the Breeders’ fall meeting, There has been no racing here for several years, and an agricultural fair and race meeting would undoubtedly meet with very liberal patron- The fair grounds- now.owned by the Pierce Brothers are classed with the best in the State, being those formerly known as Agricultural Park. The track, wiich has been kept in order for private use since the discontinuance of annual fairs, is greatly liked by horsemen and bhas been the scene of many an equine battle. : It was there that the swaybacked racer cyclone, fresh from a Lake County ranch, ran a half mile in forty-eight seconds, which was considered a wonderful perior- mance at the time, and it wason this track that the mighty Anteo and many other noted horses made their records.

A Second Body Found in the Columbia tarver. ASTORIA, Or., June 5.—The mystery surrounding the murder of Esther Loire, whose mutilated body was found on the beach at Smith Point, on Friday evening last, was deevened to-day by the announce- ment that the body of John Lambert, who accompanied the woman, together with Adolph Gonyounge and Samuel Melandt, from a scow near Clifton on. May 27, had been found in the river near Quinns Point last evening. ‘The body was brought to this city to-day, and on examination the skull was found to have been crushed in and in the neck was a bullet hole. Lambert resided at Aldrich Point, but was at Svenson’s scow, a short distance below Clifton, where Esther Loire and her two companions engaged in a drunken spree shortly before the woman’s body was found. Lambert was supposed to have embarked in his skiff when leaving the scow, the otbers taking the boat of the missing man, Samuel Melandt. Both boats were afterward found, that of Me- landt being blood-stained. No traces of :(zi(hel;- Melandt or Gonyounge have been ound, S MUOURNED BY OREDITORS. Merchants Defraudea by a. Man Who Claimed He Was Wealthy. SAN JOSE, CAL., June 5.—J. B. Court- ney left this city yestérday for parts un- known, leaving a number of creditors very anxious about his whereabouts. Courtney arrived a few weeks ago with a wife and a large family of children, and rented a small house 1n East San Jose. He represented himself as an earnest Chris- tian worker, and as the family was in needy circumstances he was aided from the poor funds of several churches. Courtney recently announced that he had received news that an uncle, John Abbott, had died in New London, Ohio, leaving him $75,000. Upon the strength of this alleged good fortune he was enabled to obtain credit for large bills for groceries and clothing. Courtney attempted to procure a $50,000 life insurance policy, but failed, as in- vestigations by telegraph proved that his claims to having fallen heir to a fortune were entirely false.

MERCED, CaL., June 5.—The first con- struction train of the San Joaquin Valley Railroad reached theincorporated hmits of this city at noon to-day. Shortly afterward, there arrived an engine and car containing the following directors of the road, who. are now on a tour of inspection: Vice-President Robert Watt, John D.

FRESNO, CaLn, June &—John D, Spreckels, Robert H. Watt, A. Payson, Thomas Magee, W. B. Storey, John Moss and M. Samuel, a committee from the board of Valley Railroad directors, ar- rived in Fresno to-night in accordance with an invitation from the local commit- tee of ten, which has in charge the secur- ing of rights of way through Fresno County. The road committee, the committee of ten and committees from Tulare and Bak- ersfigld met in Hughes Hotel parlors and discussed the proposition for the extension of the line south of Fresno this year. The railroad officials were definite in their pro- posals. They stated that they had material ready to begin work on the road to Bakersfield within three monthsif the | rights of way were furnished. If not the material would be used in building ‘a road from Stockton to the coast. 5 The Fresno, Tulareand Bakersfield com- mittees stated that they were doing their best to secure richts of way and although not in a position to speak definitely they believed that they would be successful. They would not purchase any rights of way, however, umtil they were assured that the railroad would come. To this the railroad pedple replied that if they were furnished free rights of way they would without question begin the work of grading south of Fresno imme- diately, They farther stated that which ever route of the two—by way of Visalia or by way of Hanford—offered rights of wey first would get the road first. hey had no particular preference for either route, but were anxious to proceed with the grading. The railroad people will go to Reedley to-morrow, and a meeting will be heid there during the afternoon in the interest of securing rights of way. OREGON RESULTS. Official Count Necessary to Decide the - Congressional Race. PORTLAND, Og., June 5.—A remark- ably close and exciting finish is being run between Tongue (R.) and Vanderburg (P.) in the First Congressional District. As the figures of the official count straggle in the uncertainty increases. 5 Vanderburg'’s lead has been cut down in Linn County by 148 votes, leaving him but 32 ahead of Tongue. In thé Second District Ellis has a lead of 273 over Quinn, the laundry-wagon driver, who comes dangerously near being elected Congressman from Oregon. The official canvass may yet give Quinn the victory. So far as Multnomah County i3 concerned the vote is complete, as the six precincts in the county not having sent in a duplicate ballot showing totals will not change these figures materially: Quing, 5007: Ellis, 4349, —_———— CHICO MASS-MEETING.

TAMALPAIS ACADEMY CADETS, Military School Graduates Are Ready to Take The Field. DIPLOMAS FOR TWELVE. Commencement Exercises Held in a San Rafael House . of Worship. JUDGE MORROW’'S ADDRESS. Tells the Retiring Class How to Overcome Obstacles “in Life’s Pathway. SAN RAFAEL, CAL., June 5.—The com- mencement exercises of the Mount Tam- alpais Military Academy were held in the First Presbyterian Church to-day. Diplo- mas were awarded to the following gradu- ates: Douglas Cornell, San Francisco; Paul Dinsmore, San Jose; William Foster, San Rafael; George Guerraz, Marysville; Tokichi Murakami, Japan; Harry Pen- hallow, San Francisco; William Riley, Santa Rosa; Walter Rohlffs, San Fran- cisce; John Sims, San Rafael; Charles Treadwell, Oakland; Samuel Wilson, San Francisco; W. Wilberforce Williams, San Rafael. The diplomas were awarded by Head Master Arthur Closky. Besides musicand assays by the graduating class an eloquent address was delivered by Judge W.W. Morrow on “Elements of Greatness.” He said in part: The completion of a course of studies by a class of intelligent, ambitious young men is an important affair. It is important to the students, because, in the language of Dr. Paley, they are about to take a “hoding turn” on the knowledge they have acquired. Itis an 1mportant oecasion to teachers and parents, who see or hope tosee in it a promise that those for whose welfare they have been cons cerned.will make ample return for all the care and anxiety bestowed upon them. Itisalsos matter of interest to the state thatthe public siould see here evidences that the institutions ot the country, passing daily from the charge of older to younger men, aud, possibly, to hew women, will be received by those who are fully equipped and competent to discharge the re- sponsible duties of public as well as private life. These public exercises are, therefore, appro- priate to the occasion, where not only those immediately interested in the intellectual and moral welfare of the students may learn of their advancement but where the public gen- erally, taking measurements for future possi- bilities, may also enjoy the spirit of emulation and enthusiasm that always prevails where young people display their natural and culti- valed capacities in an entertaining and in- structive manner, The interest of the day and the significance of these exercises are not limited by the de- ree or excellence of scholarship we find here. [he question a. s, What benefit will be de- rived by these young men from the excellent training they have nad in the way of prepare: tion for the active duties of iite? What use will they make of their talents? Scholarship is capital, but it is capital that should be made efficient and useful for a good purpose in some legitimate caliing. 5 Twenty years from now the school and col- lege graduates of to-day will be managing the business affairs of the country and have the control of its social and pulitical institutions. They ought to be, and probably will be, better qualified for such demands than tbe present generation, for they have had, as a rule, bet- ter opportunities for prepsration than we have had; but will they be able to meet and suc- cessiuily resolve the still more complicated couditions that will necessarily arise as tne deeper and more subtle elements oi‘yhynlcnl and social laws are being revealed? Itisonly necessary to read the history of our own times to discover that with every step of advancing civilization we are brought into contact with new and untried relations of the most embar- rassing social, economical and political char- acter. Not all of these relations—perhaps only & few of them—have really been mastered and adjusted, and it may be that we will be com- peiled to leave to those who shall come after us the soluion of some of the most serious and difficult problems we have encountered. There is to-day an accumulation of unsolved questions in every department of human activity. It appears to us sometimes, as a matter of deep regret, that lite is so short. Even so sage a philosopher as Herbert Spencer indulges in the sad refrain of the old song: Could a man be secure That his days would endure As of old, for a thousand long years, What things he might Know! What things he might do! And all without hurry or care. But with our few years of competent work- ing capacity we individually sccomplish but little. It is true that the aggregate mass of civilized community, lpprn?rinling to itself the accumulated portions of all its parts, ap- pears to be moving somewhere with tre- mendous stride; but for what purpose and in what direction? Will the line of march ever come in this direction? Be not discouraged, young man. These im- posing divisions of men engaged in labor, trades, business operations and professions are not all marching in one direction, and if you will but have patience the ospormnuy will come for you to “fall in,” and then the question_will be, Can you Keep step to. the music? Will you be able to keep up with the column? Will you push te the front? The answers to those questions will depend largely Upon your training, but also upon your cournge and determination. “Give a youth resolution and the alphabet,” says Dr. Marden, *‘and who shall place limits to his career?"” The speaker dwelt eloquently upon the value of an education in fitting young men for their proper place in life, and in con- clusion said: Resolve to make your life useful and accom- plish something "honorable in the world, maxging a name worthy of your station and of the age in which you live. . 1In the world’s broad field of battle, In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle— Be a hero in the strife. To stimulate such resolutions I have called attention to the important fact that a well- trained mind and a vigorous constitution, under the control of a determined will, are the characteristics of a great and invincible man. It is such a men who notonly shapes his own destiny but gives tone to the community in which he lives, impresses nis personality upon the country of which he is a citizen and leaves an enduring record of his work for all time, Your future is in your hands and it only re- ‘majns for you to say what it shall be. You are the “heirs of all the ages in the foremost ranks of time.” Keep your consciences clean, keep your hands steady. Keep your minds clear and then build; build with resolution and build with care,and your work will endure making'the world better for your having lived init. Look at the past and be wise.

Result of Democratic Primary—Reli- ance Sun Club Opens Its New Trap Grounds. ALAMEDA, Can, June 5—The Ala- meda -Auxiliary Woman’s Suffrage Asso- ciation met this . afternoon in G. A. R. Hall. Miss Mollie Conners of Oakland addressed the ladies present on the ques- tion, “‘Should There Be More Men Em- ployed in Our Public Schools?” She said that the strongest line. of woman’s work was making due provision for the children becoming moral and in- telligent citizens, capable of earning tneir own Hving and competing successfuily with the world. Men engaged in their numerous daily vecations leave women to look out for the children, and these duties have 1n great part been handed on to other women to fulfill in the public schools. As an old schoolteacher, and speaking | from experience, she added that the re- sults obtained had not been the best re- | sults. There had been a great waste of | taxpayers’ money, children’s time and teachers’ energies. She urged women to act, when they re- ceived their qualification to vote, so that more men would be employed in the schools than at present. She considered it was necessary to the child’s future well- being, whether male or female. No less than five girls passed through the gram- mar grades to one bey, on the average, and during this time the boy had notcome in contact with his own sex. ! The salary paid, in Miss Conners’ opin- ion, was not sufficient to get men to enter the profession. By men she meant men of intellectual force and purpose, whose indirect contact with the child, apart from the information imparted, would have a beneficial effect in molding its character. The vice of the whoie system, to her mind, was the metbod of appointment as well as the want of fixity of tenure. At| present everything depended on the | teacher’s *‘pull.” Energy and determina- | tion to do one’s work went for naught.i She therefore urged women tn see that | Boards of Education and schools were taken out of politics, and she suggested | the abolition of education boards as at | present constituted. Places must be made in the schools for men—stron. men—and | it must be made worth their whiie to stay | in the profession, and not use it as a stop- | AP, | Al Democratic Primary.
