Would Have Been Caught but| for an Unlucky Mis- 1 calculation. | TRACKS ARE PLAIN IN PLACES. Officers Confident They Are on the | Right Trail and Will Continue the Chase SAN MIGUEL, CaL., June 11.—Messrs. Lyndon, Mathews and Edson arrived on this morning’s train from San Luis Obispo. Holbrook went home. They interviewed Mrs. Journey, who was stopped by a man whom they are positive was Dunham. He was s 1 the brush at San Marcos Creek yesterday by two men, and was cornered by Constable Ed Ganoung and Deputy John Matthis in the willows near San Marcos. A watch was kept all night, but he slipped away. He would have been caught if Lyndon and posse had stopped here last nicht, as intended. The Sheriffs did not o up Slacks Can- | yon as was intended. His tracks are plain where he crossed the river. The Sheriffs will follow his trail to Adelaide and the coast. It is reported that a posse left San Luis Obispo to go north through the mountains and meet Lyndon. Lyndon thinks the man is Dunham and not Crow- ley. | | SANTA BARBARA FEXCITED. Dunham Has a Double in a Wandering Socialist. SANTA BARBARA, CiLn, June 11.— Bome small excitement has been created here by the rumor that Dunham had ap- peared upon the streets and after provid- ing himself with fishing-tackle and a sup- ply of meat had escaped to the hilis. This rumor has been sifted by THE CALL corre- spondent, who finds that the alleged fugitive was a man of respectuble char- acter who has resided here for the past twenty years and who does not resemble Dunham in any way exceptin complexlon. A man visited Santa Barbara last week who is the almost perfect counterpart of | the murderer. The individual who bears | this striking resemblance is an itinerant socialist who visited thisregion a year ago, | but who is now obliged to be exceedingly | wary lest ranchers .on the lookont for | the fugitive take a chanceshotat him dur- ing his peregrinations. It is altogether probable that the movements of this man, whose calling in itselt is suspicious, may have given rise to some of the many re- | ports positively asserting Dunham’s pres- | | ence in various localities. ———— A FUTILE SEARCH. Officer Oswald Returns to Bakersfield | From the Coast Range. | BAKERSFIELD, CAv., June 11.—Officer | Oswald has returned from a careful but | unsuccessful search along the Coast Range | for traces of Murderer Dunham. Begin-| ning away to the north of Tulare Lake, | he came southward along the foot of the | mountains, stopping at every house and going into every canyon where there was aroad or any settlement. The most care- | ful search was made and diligent inquiry | pursued, but not the slightest trace of the | fugitive was found. Oswald went into the | Onolame country and in the same locality where it is now alleged Dunham was seen, but failed utterly to find any trace of | him. BURNED WHILE SHE LISTENED. Horyrible Fate of Two Children Who Played With Matches. LOB ANGELES, CaL., June 11.—“Oh, | my little girls, my little girls!” were the piteous wailing words of the grief-stricken mother of little Hazel and Nona Bickford, aged 3 and 4 respectively, when she real- | ized that her darlings had been burned to | death in a blazing barn at Date and Ash | streets late this afternoon. The children, with a brother of 6, had | been playing with matches and set the | building on fire, The boy, Frankie, escaped and with wild screams entered the house and told his mother the awful | story. The almost- paralyzed parent | rushed to the scene and could hear the | smothered screams of her children, but if | was too late. The fire fiend enveloped them and their | cries were soon hushed to death. | Mrs. Bickford could not enter the burn- | ing building, nor even reach the entrance on account of the intense heat. In her frenzy she rushed from pomnt to point trying to reach her helpless babies and was badly burned about the hands in her vain attempt to rescue them. Little Frankie, wild with grief and sob- | bing as if his heart would break, told how | the awful accident occurred. 'l‘hey were scratching matches, when little Hazel let one drop among some straw. In a mo- ment & blaze sprang up, igniting her | clothes. | Frankie attempted to put it out, and | burned his hands in so doing. He then | ran to his mother. The flames were finally | subdued and the charred remains of the | children recovered. | 7 22 2 JN DEFENSE OF HIS HONOR. A Fresno School-Teacher 5logs and Shoots | His Enemy. | FRESNO, CaL., June 11.—V. B. Fincher, better known as “Tallie” Fincher, this afternoon gave a . prominent rancher, nan:ed John L. Price, a severe whipping with a blacksnake whip. The affray took place near Herndon, five miles north of this city, and in a fight with pistols after- ward the rancher was shot twice and probably fatally wounded. Fincher says that Price trice tried to insult his wile, which was the cause of the trduble. The following statement was obtained from Price as he lay upon the operating table, having been brought to the city for surgical assistance: “Last summer Fincher and his wife worked for me at my ranch. We had some trouble over Mrs. Fincher. Fincher | accused me of hugging her. He and his | wife left my place, and not until this morning did I see Fincher again. I was | returning from Fresno vith a load of lum- | ber, and at a railroad crossing north of this | city he passed me on a bicycle. Isaw him | at Herndon again, but paid noattention to him. “When about a mile ana a- half north of Herndon, Fincher, on horseback, caught | to accomplish his purpose. | character. | horse died. afraid that he would shoot me. “Fincher then remounted_his horse and started back to Herndon. I immediately unhitched one of my horses and rode to & neighbor’s and procured a pistol. At Herndon I found Fincher sitting beside the railroad track where aforce of men was unloading timber for the Vailey-road | bridge. Irode up to him, and seeing that he had drawn his pisto], told him to com- mence. We fired at each other, and ¥in- | cher hit me in the thigh. The horse which I was rding became excited, and my aim was poor. “Fincher then dodged behind a wheel under a car. From this position he began firing again and hit me in the right shoul- der. I emptied my pistol, and did not know how to reload it. I rode away and had just time to get a friend to flag the train, on which I came 1o Fresno.” Price would give no further particulars | as to the cause of the trouble, except that | Fincher whipped him for hugging Mrs. Fincher. Fincher came in on the same train that the wounded man did and immediately gave himself up. At the jail he said that he gave Pricea beating because the rancher had insulted his wife. He claims thatin | the shooting affray Price shot first and that he acted in self-defense. Fincher is a school-teacher and during vacation works on a ranch. He and his wife were married in Fresno about two | years ago. They are well connected. | S LE AR ik e REDDING SUFFRAGISTS. The Town Fairly Captured by the Advo- cates of Equal Rights. REDDING, CAL., June 11.—The Woman Suffrage Convention conducted by Rev. na Shaw, Miss Elizabeth V. Yates and Miss Harriet Mills came to a successful ter- mination to-night. The meeting began yesterday afternoon. Miss Yates delivered an excellent address | on the rights of women to the ballott at both afternoon and evening meetings. Her address in the evening was particu- larly interesting, and as a result there are more exponents of woman’s suffrage in | Redding to-day than there ever was. Armory -Hall was filled to its utmost capacity at both meetings, and to-night hundreds were turned away from the hall, not being able to gain admittance. Shaw was the attraction to-night, and in a stirring, telling and interesting ad- dress with sound arguments in favor of woman suffrage she held her audience spellbound, as it were, for three solid | hours. The hall was beantifully decorated with yellow streamers—ghe color of the woman suffragists—everereens and flowers of every description. The whole town seemed to participate in the convention and on both days vehicles were gayly decorated with yellow. Local speakers participated 1n the meetitigs, and_slto- gether it was one of the grandest and most The petition praying for the adoption o f a suifrage plank in the Democratic State platform was unanimously signed. If Redding sentiment can be counted on as | an indication the suffragists will sweep the State at the coming election and the elev- enth amendment to the constitution will be carried by an overwhelming majority. WS BORN T0 BE HAGED Murderer Craig Makes a Futile Attempt to Cheat the Gallows. Nearly Upset To-Day’s Programme at Sacramento by Stabbing Himself With a Wire. SACRAMENTO, Car., June 11.—John Craig, the condemned murderer, who shot and kiled his divorced wife and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. «Willlam Hunter, in Los Angeles, came within an ace of cheating the gallows of its lawful prey this morning by stabbing himself in the left breast with a piece of heavy wire. Shortly after 5 o’clock this morning the deathwatch left the door of Craig’s cell for a brief period, and when he returned he found the prisoner stretched cut on the | floor with a mass of bloody foam bubbling from his lips. He instantly gave the alarm and sent tor the prison physician, who was quickly on the spot. Upon investigation it was discovered that Craig had procured asa weapon a piece of coarse wire, fitted in a wooden handle and sharpened to almost a needle’s point. With this he bad at- tempted to pierce his heart, only missing that organ by half an inch and penetrating the left Ilung. The wound, however, is not fatal, nor will it cause any delay in his execution to-morrow, although he is suf- fering great pain and deeply regrets failing It is thought that Craig obtained the weapon during one of his periods of out- door exercise, when possibly it was passed to him by some of his fellow-convicts. Despite the serious nature of the wound, which, had it been slightly changed in direction, would have penetrated the heart and caused instant death, Craig was able to partake of breakfast and has lost little strength. ELOPED WITH A MURDERER. Wild Escapade of a Ceur d’Alene In- dian Maiden. TOKAO, Ipimo, June 1lL—About ten dayvs ago Andrew Areper and Mary Joseph, both of the Cceur d’Alene tribe of Indians, jumped the country. Andrew is charged with the murder of old Leo, another Indian, about a year ago, and has the reputation of being a bad The tribe is opposed to this kind of “honeymooning,”” and used every means in its power to bring back the erring ones. Accordingly mounted policemen Peter Mullivan, Croper and Alixus were dis- patched to capture the fugitives. They caught them on the Big Camas Prairie in Idako. Andrew was turned loose and cried. Mary Joséph was brought home Wednesday. She was evidently sorry for her misconduct and bad all she wanted of | privation and suffering. Policeman Mullivan says the couple made a trail of their own across the rough range of mountains to Osburn, during which trip one of their horses died from exhaustion. The pair then rode double for twenty miles until they got to the summit. Here they encountered six feet of snow, and in the struggle the remainiug saddle- The horse was a celebrated racer among tha Indians, and was vaiued at $300. The pair managed to get through the rugged country, and after a journey of fifty-two miles reached the Camas country and were there corraled by the officers of the reservation, who suspected their char- acter. —_— Sacramento Democratic Delegates.

He Did Not Speak to His Daughter- in-Law for More Than Twenty Years. SAN JOSE, Cavn.,, June 11.—The trial of the Parker will case progressed very slow- ly to-day. The reading of the deposition of Jane Pomeroy, which was begun on Wednesday afternoon, was not nearly con- cluded, on account of the time consumed in argumenis and numerous objections Some very strong testimony was brought out in the deposition as to George H. Par- ker’s vain attempts to learn the truth as | to the career of his son's wife before her marriage. He finally come to the conclu- sion that she was untruthful, and after that time for twenty years to the day of his death, he kept to his determination not to have anything to do with her. For the first time 1n the course of the trial the contestant did not appear in court yesterday. The reading of the deposition of Jane Pomeroy was interrupted for a short time to take the testimony of D. G. Brewer. The witness said he had known George H. Parker since 1858. During much of this time the relations between the parties had been very intimate. They had fre- quent talks over business affairs. The witness expressed the opinion that in 1892 | and 1893 the testator was a man of sound mind and a good business man. As regards his wife's relatives, the Pome- roys, Witness Brewer never heard G. H. Parker say anything against them. He had often said that Marshal Pomeroy was an honest man and that he had contidence in him. This testimony was in contradic- tion to testimony given In behali of the contestant to the effect that the testator | had said that the Pomeroys were hogs and | that he did not want to have anything to | do with them. “Mr. Parker's statement that he had confidence in Marshal Pomeroy made an impression upon me,” said the witness, *‘because I had the same opinion as he had iu regard to Mr. Pomeroy being a good square man.”’ In the deposition of Jane Pomeroy read to-dayv, the deponent testified:- **1 have | heard George H. Parker say that he would {never leave Edward anything except in | trust, so as to prevent his wife from getting | anything., He did not want her to get a | dollar of his money. I never tried to in- | fluence my brother against his son, Ed- ward, as far as the provisions of the will were concerned. We always treated Ed- { ward kindly and as a son. He always came and weut to and from our house the same as a son. ‘“‘George H. Parker never showed me his | will or referred to it in the remotest way in speaking to me.

TRIED TO MURDER HIS FAMILY. Lawrence Cummings, a Seattle Street Contractor. Runs Amuck. SEATTLE, WasH., June 11. — Because she had deserted him and begun proceed- ings for divorce on account of his constant cruelty and repeated accusations of infi- delity, Lawrence Cummings, a contractor and an ex-Street Commissioner of this city, this evening made a murderous as- sault upon his wife, Elizabeth Cummings, inflicting injuries from which she will die. Cummings first shot at and attempted to kill his daughter, Miss Maria Cummings, a young woman 22 years of age. Armed with two revolvers and made more daring by bad whisky the blood- thirsty husband and father entered the household, of which he had not been a member for six weeks, about 7 o’clock, finding the family at the dinner-table. Miss Maria jumped up and ran into an adjoining room, wherenpon the gun- wielder sent a shot after her, which missed as she passed through the door. Cummings tien turned his attention to bis wife, at whom he fired seven shots; emptying one revolver, a Colt’s, and firing two additional shots from an American buildog. Only one shot took effect, the ballet passing into the right shoulder. Seeing he had still failed in his purpose, Cummings, who is a very powerful man, beat his wife over the head, crushing her skull. He then kicked her several times after she had fallen upon the floor. While Cummings was engaged in this maurderous effort Deputy Prosecuting At- torney W. W. Wiishire sought to enter the house and stop the assassin, but was told if he crossed the threshold he would | be killed. A few minutes later the police | arrived and took the would-be murderer to_jail. He told one of the officers that it was his purpose to kill Mrs. Cummings and then take his own life, and expressed re- gret that he had not succeeded in his pur- pose. Several years ago Cummings made a brutal assauit upon his wife, claimin, that E. C. McClannohan, a city official, had attempted to break up his home. Some months later, while he was City Street Commissioner, 4 man whom he had refused work entered his office and fired five shots at Cummings, inflicting only flesh wounds. The divorce trial of Mrs. Cummings against her husband was to have begun to-morrow. She is 52 years of ageand he is three years her junior.

Water to Be Conveyed From the Colo- rado River Into San Diego County. SAN DIEGO, CAL., June 11.—Another colonization scheme on the Colorado Riveris said to be well started. The de- tails of the project are given by A. B. Bos- well of Los Angeles, who accidentally learned through a relative of a move which has been kept quiet. S “I don’t know much about the scheme,’”’ said Mr. Boswell, ‘“‘but I am willing to tell you what I have learned. A company of | New York capitalists has been formed and connections established in the Cily of Mexico. 1 can’t give you the names of these men. According to the information given me by my relative,who isinterested in the project, and who will probably act as land agent for the company, they have purchased 350,000 acres of land from the Mexican Government, situated on the west side of the Colorado River in Lower California. The land is embraced within the concession of the Mexican Land and Colonization Company, which hasits head- quarters at London, with offices at En- | senada. The New Yorkers bought out the | rights of the English company and paid | the Mexican Government 60 cenis an acre for the land. *The plan is to divert water from%he | Colorado River for the irrigation of these lands, which are conceded to be rich and capable of raising the finest of tropical fruits. Whnen the water system is in, the price of the land is to be fixed at $10 per acre, payable in ten years, according to agreement with the Mexican Government. | Efforts will be made to colonize the dis- trict as fast as possible. *‘The promoters of the scheme have vis- ited the country several times,”’ continued Mr. Boswell, “and they evidently mean business, as they have sent two parties of surveyors into the field preparatory to be- ginning the work of divertinz the river. They are desirovs of keeping the thing quiet, and I do not even care to name my relative, who gave me the information.” The lands in question lie just below the international boundary line. They in- clude the famous mud volcanoes and hot springs that abound in that section. The richer part of the country comprises the bottom land of the New River, which flows into the Colorado, or rather isan arm of the Colorado. The company proposes to build a canal thirty feet in width and nay- ing a total length of about fifty miles, tak- ing in the best portion of these lands. The canal will cross the boundary line and furnish water for a good deal of Govern- ment land in San Diego County, which is equally rich and capable of giving homes to a great many people. I was told that the development of this so-called desert was to be hastened by a compact made with the Southern Pacific Company,”” added Mr. Boswell. “The company now has a lone and profitless haul across the desert from Yuma to Los Angeles, and it has assured the projectors of this new colonization enterprise that if the country is developed by a canal and colonized with enough settlers to make the proposition bona-fide the road will be built from Yuma direct to San Diego, in | order to open up the country and make ! business on the desert, which is now a | losing section of road.” | Mr. Boswell was reluctant to allow the | use of his name in conneciion with the information he gave, but finally con- sented. The reason he gave was that| possibly it might hurt the chances of his | relative in securing the position he sought. | HOW DR.

R DECAPITATED AFTER DEATH. Physicians Give Important Evidence Relat- ing to the Murder of Pearl! Bryan. CINCINNATI, Ormo, June 11.—Every effort will be made toend the Walling trial this week. It seems likely, however, from the announcement of attorneys this morn- ing that the argument may be fully as long as that in the Jackson trial. When court opened Dr. W. H. Crane surprised the State’s lawyer by taking the stand for the defemse. In the Jackson trial he was a witness for the State, saying that he found arsenic, mercury and cocaine in Pearl Bryan’s stomach. The coeaine was probably administered by mouth the witness said. The stomach contained more than two grains. Dr. F. B, Kramer said the hemorrhage would be profuse1f a person were beheaded alive. Streams of blood would shoot from the wound. He also stated that Pearl Bryan’s head was probably cut off after death. Colonel Washington took the stand. He said Mrs. Waré, who swore that she heard a carriage pass out the Alexandria road on the night of the murder, told him she knew nothing about it. Dr. Jensen said from the severed arteries of a live body blood would spurt at least ten feet. He said the decapitation of Pearl Bryan took place after death. No other evidence of importance was ad- duced and court adjourned until to-mor- | Tow. B ket Koyal Yachts in a Race.

Dr. Morse Tells How the New Departure Is to Be Ac- complished. APPEAL TO THE LEGISLATURE: Institutions to Be Under the Control of a Non-Partisan Citizens’ Board. The Board of Health, tired of bicker- ings, scandals and responsibility that is made irzsome by others, has decided to get rid of some of the undesirabte burdens that rest on them through the aid of the Legislature. When that body meets again it will be asked to pass laws taking the management of the City and County Hos- pital, Almshouse and Pesthouse not only out of the hands of the board but out of politics entirely. The Legislature will be asked to enact that a board of non-partisan citizens, chosen for their financial and social stand- ing, shall be given control of the institu- tions and shall direct in all but the actual work of attending to the patients and in- mates. Strong arguments in favor of this plan wiil be brought to bear on the members of the lawmaking body, and the board ex- pects to have little trouble in convincing the legislators that this is the only course that will insure efficient management of the institutions named. Dr. Morse is enthusiastic over the scheme and will give it his personal at- tention in the way of impressing on mem- | bers of the Legislature the necessity of the | change and in formulating the plans. “It cannot be denied,” he said yester- " day, ‘“‘that under existing conditions the City and County Hospital, Hospital for Contagious Diseases and the Almshouse are not conducted as they shoula be, and it is just as much a fuct that unless some change is made they will continue to be poorly conducted. “The Board of Health simply cannot be held resgonsible for the manner in which these pldces are carried on. “Between the politics that are sure to creep in, as matters now stand, and the fact that the Supervisors control the funds for food and supplies, while the Health Board is held responsible for all of the shortcomings of employes or supplies, the health authorities have a hard time of it, and Ifor one want to be relieved of my share of the responsibility. | “Iknow that the other members of the | board will be more than willing to havea body of representative non-partisan citi- zens take hold of the nospitals and carry them on in a business-like way, appoint- ing only men who, in their opinion, are competent for the places they are to fill. They will be better able to deal with the Supervisors and see that the money is properly used.” | | INQUEST ON THE SHAHAMARIANS. Nothing New tievealed in the Armenian Murder Mystery.
