The Oficers Dapy That Theyi Have B:zen Hunting the { Murderer. Lisgusted With the Outcome of Their Efforts and Very Uncom- municativ:, SAN DIEGO, CaL., Dec. 17.—Sheriff | Lyndon of Santa Clara County, ex-| Marshal Gard of Los Angeles and Deputy | Sheriff Ward and Detective Ellsworth of | this city returned to-night from their bunt for Danham. They did not get | Dunham nor see him, and were not chased | by Mexican rurales, because they pru-| dently kept on the American side of the | line. They did stray over a few ieet, but | ibev had got wind, perhaps, of the| Mexican posse, and they were very sure | of their ground before venturing into | Mexican territory. Both Marshal Gard and Sheriff Lyndon had the audacity to deny positively that | had been hunting Dunbam at all, | t gh'Gard bad a3 positively told a CarL | reporter before he started that Dunham was the man wanted. You’d be surprised now if Itold you that we are not after Dunham,” said Gard | Jast night. “‘Well, that’s what Isay. We are not after Dunham, but you can go d and say so in the papers. We are | after another mah, and what is more we didn’t look for him in Mexico. Ican’t teli vou who the other man is, of course.j’ Sner.ff Lyndon was very uncommuni- His manner, as well as that of | Marshal Gard, was one of disgust. They did not want to talk of Dunham. “Every time I move,” said Shneriff Lyn- don, “they say I am after Dunham. I was not after Dunham this time. I was after another man.” % ““Was your mission successful? “Not entirely.” des Sheriff Lynaon said he would remain in town a day or two and this in connection with the full details of tbe hunt after Nunham, which were farnished by Detec- tive Bilsworth, indicate that the officers believe that they have got on Dunbam’'s il and will go ouvagain soon. Detective lllsworth says so in that many words. He eays that while the chase was unsuc- vessfull enough was Jearned to give the *A icers assurance that Dunham is some- lLere in ti:e lower country and that e €an be found. 5 “As soon as the papers stop talking about it, and this chase blows over a littie,” said Ellsworth, “we will try it again.” It was the possession of a letter from James Dunham, the murderer, to his wife, writien two years ago, and describing a | o’clock this evening p cave near his ranch called *‘Robbers’ [ Roost,” and which Dunham cailed an ideal hiding-place, that led Sheriff Lyndon in this direction. Then, too, Charles Dunham appeared here, evading the de- tectives who had been shadowing him at San Jose. D -tective Ellsworth said: “Sheriff Lyndon, after his arrival, told me of several clews he had received re- | garding Dunham’s presence in this part of | the State. -One of them was a letter re- ceived from a prospector who said he was positive he had seen Dunham coming down the Colorado River. ““We started for the Dunham ranch and made a complete investigation of the sur- roundings, bui failed to find any trace of the murderer. “‘Qur chief efforts were directed to find- |ing the cave called ‘Robbers’ Roost’ by Dunham in his letter. All of yesterday was spent in making a search of the can- yons and mountains in the vicinity of the ranch, but not a trace of a cave could be found. We started on the return trip early this morning and arrived home at 7 retty well tired out. We will start out again.’ DR. O'CALLIGHAN RELEASED. Interesting Reminiscences Recalled by the Action of the Idaho Board of Pardons. Dec. 17.—The BOISE, Ipamo, Idaho | Board of Pardons has pardoned Dr. E. J. O'Callighan on eondiiion that he leaves the State, the pardon to take effect on Christmas day. In 1885 Q’Callighan killed John Breene at Blackfoot and was convicted of murder in the first degree. The Supreme Court reversed the judgmentand his second sen- tence was to lite imprisonment. He entered the penitentiary in March, 1886. 0’Callighan was one of th> best known phyeicians in the southeastern part of the State and had a practice extending into Moniana and Utsh. He had & quarrel with one Willard Crawford and the latter | threatened to kill him. . On the night of the killing he was drinking with Breene and the latter went out for liquor. Though be passed ou¢ through tne iront door, he came back by thedoor in the rear. 0’Cal- lighan heard him fumbling at the back door and supposing that it was Crawford who had come 10 kill him be wentto a window and shot the man dead. The board was petitioned by large num- bers of people to pardon the convict, his old army associates being specislly active in his behalf. It felt there was grave doubt about the legali'y of his detention, and determined to set him at liberty. There is an interesting story told in con- nection with the action of the Supreme Court in O'Callighan’s casé. Kentucky Smith was his attorney. He had some de- cisions, based upon a statute of another State, giving the Supreme Court here au- thority to take such action. His plan was, as he explained it to a friend, to in- duce the court here to follow the deci- sions and then get the doctor out on a writ of Labeas corpus, The court fell into the trap, but O'Calilighan’s friends were satisfied when they knew he was saved from the gallows, and declined to furnish ponds for the proposed habeas corpus pro- ceedings. Hence the doctor has been in the penitentiary for ten years, when, as believed by attorneys, he could have been set free in sixty days. Sl Gone to the Haypy Hunting Grounds. ROCKFORD, Wasn., Dec. 17.—Gusta, the Big Indian of the Cceur d’Alene tribe, has passed to the happy hunting ground. Pneumonia and typhoid fever carried him off. - He was one of the most progres- sive Indians of the West. His home on the reservation, eight miles southeast of Rockford, is improved in modern style. He had a beautiful house, horses and out- buildings, and about 400 acres under cul- tivation. When it came to carriages he could outdo any man in the county. He was buried in the Ceeur d’Alene Indian purying grounds. CITRUS FAIR CF THE SN JORQUIN Throng of Visitors to the Great Exposition at Fresno. Excursionists Are Greeted With Music and Shown the City’s Sights. Address of Weicome acd Response. The Prebable Pr:z--Winners. A Lay for the Children. FRESNO, CaL., Dec. 17.—When the yel- low train with the silver lettering on the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad arrived here ten minutes before noon to-day with the Stockton excur- sionists to the San’Joaquin Valley Citrus | Fair a crowd was at the depot. The Citrus Fair band played a lively tune and the bell on the locomotive chimed in joyously and harmoniously. Principal among those who weicomed the visitors were members of the Chamber of Commerce and the members of the Hundred Thou- sand Club, with their yellow ribbons fluttering in the gentle valley breeze. The people from the **Mill City’’ also had yellow ribbons of their own. On them was printed in black, “‘Stockton Commer- Citrus Fair.” The excursionists were escorted up- town, and they dispersed among various hotels. Colonel Berry’s one car and one- horse streetcar line, which is the pride of Tulare street and the wonder of strangers. entered into active competition with hacks and carriages for the honor gf con- veying visitors in the direction of the big pavilion. This horsecar line has advan- tages for Cclonel Berry possessed by no other streeicar line in the world. It runs first past his own hotel, and the colonel has the driver and the mule so well trained that the car stops there whether anvbody wants to get off or not. Itis said here that the colonel has threatened to run a spur track right through the tobby and up to the hotel register if the next alfalfa crop is good at Orangedale. In the afternoon the Stocktonians were shown further courtesies by the Hundred Thousand Club rustiers. They wanted to show the visitors ‘“What we've gotin Fresno,” and they did. After a short glimpse of the beauties of the fair, car- riages were provided and a drive was had to the different places and points of interest in the city. Many frait, fig and raisin-packing houses were visited. A seeded raisin company has orders that machinery for takiug the seeds out of rai- sins, said to be the only machine of the kind in the world, which is not yet fully vatented. The visitors were ot permit- ted to see the machines, and the remain- der of the admiring public which gees cial Association to the San Joaquin Valley i will keep it busy two years ahead. It has! that way does not get any further into the confidence of the firm than the door ‘¢f the seecing department. The management told the party to help | themselves, and for once everybody had enougn raisins. The party was piloted over the city and through the institutions visited by H. C. B. Gill of the Iilustrated | Monthly Interior. Mr. Giil also superin- tended the collection and the arrange- ment of the handsome exhibit of Stanis- laus County at the pavilion. It was San Joaquin County dav at the fair. The attendauce was good during the | afternoon. This evening anotber big crowd was vresent. Every seat was occu- pied and the many aisles were crowded with Fresno peovle and visitors trom the* country and surrounding towns, The formal exercises of welcome to the Stock- tonians took place. E. F. Bernhard, spokesman for the general committee, in- troduced Judge George E. Church of Fresno, who delivered the address of wel- come, and P. A. Buell, president of the Stockton Commercial Association, -who made the response. Judge Church said: ‘*‘California has never failed to show that she is the best place for civilized man to live in on the whole civilized globe. But I take it that the most fervent words of elcquence of ber most gifted sons or daughiers could never speak of her advantages with half the eloquence that these silent exhibits speak. Irhese golden oranges and fruits speak a language more eloquent than any human tongne can utter. Here in this great valley, surrounded by these moun- | tains, has been found a home so fitting that man may no longer dream of para- dise.” |Applause.] Judge Church then referred to the days of 49 and the struggles of early settlers, and said: *But all that has passed away. The time of heme bu:lding came. When it came the people were confronted by two great drawbacks. One was the uncer- tainty of title and the other the great heldings of land all over this slope. Men would not butld homes on uncertain ten- ure, bat, thank God, they have setiled that. 2 ““That other obstacle they are settling, too, but I do not know that it will be fully settled short of the single tax. Idon’t know that it will be sett!ed till it may be made unlawfol for any one to bave such large holdings of land. These great hold- ings are inimical to the upbuilding of a great State. “The little red schoo'house,” he contin- ued, “is the foundation of the American home anda American liberty. [Applause.] We look for its establishment in settle ments. In Fresno, greatly 10 our ad- vaniage, tbe large holaings were bought up and divided into small colony lots. en have established homes upon them and sre bringing up families of children. And that has made possible this great and beautitul fair. To-morrow the sch.ols will close, I understand, and 160 school children will be here to see these extibits. It will be an object lesson to them, of gren:er benefit tbhan all they learn in s. his place is San Joaquin’s to-day,” he said in conclusion, ‘“‘and more than that, our Lear:s are San Joaquin’s to-night. It want to say in conclusion to our visiting friends, Enter in, take possession and en- joy vourselves.” g President Buell revlying, spoke sub- stantially as follows: “'I think vou people of Fresno have the besi of it. Here you have put up one of your most eloquent speakers to talk to us, and then expect an ordinary lumberman tocompete with him. |Laughter.] The people of Stockton and san gnuqnm bave been most heartily re- ceived and welcomed here. We know that the prosperity of a country depends largely upon unity of action among its ople. It is wise that the people of tockton, Fresno and the San Joaquin Valley are getting together. There is no better illustration oi the effect of coloniza- tion of land than around Fresno, and it is a good effect. “Riding down the valley to-day we saw thousands of acres of fertile land without s house upon it in any direction. It is necessary for us to bring people out here from the East and settle up this land. You have abundant water for irrigation and you have irrigation canals. Iam sur- prised at the magnitude and beauty of your exhivits, They show what this val- ley can produce. We hope in the future ! toinvite you to a similar exhibition in Stockton. We thank you for your hearty welcome and reception to-day."” To-morrow is children’s day at the fair. All the schools will close at noon and the cnildren f several benevolent institutions will be admitted free. The admission fee for school children has been rcduced to 10 cents. The business houses wiil close at 6 o’clock in the evening, so that the clerks and other employes may have an oppor- tunity to take in the fair. Saturday will be farmers’ and Porter- ville)s ady, There will be an excursion from Porferville. Word by wire was re- ceived to-day from the committee which went to San Francisco last night that it has gone to work on the proposi- sition of getting up an excursion from San Francisco to the fair. There is al- ready some talk among the general com- mittee of extending the fair into next week, and if an excursion is arranged from the metropolis this will certainly be done. The premiums will be awarded next Saturday. It 1s understood among exhibiters that the names of the judves szre not to be made known till after the awards are made. This is to prevent any possibility ot influence. It is understood that Tulare will get the first prize for county exhibit and Stanislaus second. ngs County has sent in a box of fize raisins and Kern a few boxes of prun: The only county | now that is absoiutely unrepresented is | Merced. The weather is bright and clear. | Many exhibitors and several citizens ex- pressed tnemselves greatly pleased to-aay | with THE CALL'S menu of exhibits show- ing the varied fertility of the valley, iy o SUIT FUOR DAMAGES, Uwen Riley Wants $5000 for False Im- prisonment. , FRESNO, CaL., Dec. 17.—The trial of the suit of Owen Riley against George L. Moore, a prominent butcher, for $5000 damages for false imprisonment was begun before a jury in Judge Risley’s court to- day. . About a year ago the plaintiff was arrested for perjury, on complaint of Moore, and imprisoned in the County Jail for five days vending the preliminary examination. Moo:e failed to prosecute the charge and it was dismissed by Justice St. John. The butcher had alleged that Riley swore jalsely in a supplementary proceeding in which both were interested in regard to the ownership of some prop- erty in this city. FRESNO BUYS A 10LL RO4AD. A Splendid Righway Now Free to the Pubdlic. FRESNO, CaAL., Dec. 17.—The Board of Snpervisors has purchased the Fresno and Pine Ridge toll road ifor §$7500. It was built five years ago by private parties at a cost of $13,000, but the tolls have not been remunerative, and the owners were glad to dispose of it for what they got. The road is a fine piece of engineering work, being up a very steep mountain side. It is thirteen miles long and of easy grade. It is situated forty miles east of this city, and being free will be traveled a great deal in the summer by campers to the ridge. Grand Boulevards for Tacoma. TACOMA, Wagn., Dec. 17.—The Puget Sound University Land Company has se- cured mights of way, and in February will commence the construction of boulevards running from the center of the city to University plagg on the west shore and around American and Gravelly lakes, The boulevards will incinde a bicycle track of forty miles and a driveway of | forests of arid America. sixty, and walks running the entire dis- tance. The money has been raised in the East, and $3,000,000 will be expended. NATIONAL IRRIGATION CONGRESS. President-Elect McKinley Sends a Letter Expressing His Regret Over Being Unabie to Attend. PH@ENIX, Ariz., Dec. 17.—The last day of the fifth session of the National iiriga- tion congress was a busy one, and many important matters were disposed of. The congress was convened at 10 o’clock this morning with representatives from twenty-¢ix States and Territories. Judge Van Dyke of California sddressed the congress on foresiry. In a forcible speech he pleaded for laws protecting the He advocated the enactment of laws for the protection of the forests from fires and prescribing | severe penalties for the careless or ma- licious starting of fires in the vast timber tracts of the country. He suggested dis- trict po lice patrols as the best means for protecting the fore-t lands, | ‘When Judge Van Dyke had concluded the chairman read aletter from President- elect McKinley, expressing regret for in- ability to attend the congress and tender- ing his best wishes for its success. The convention enthusiastically applauded the reading of the letter. The official reports from the various States were read. Brigham Young of Utah, a descendant of the great Mormon leader, addressed the congress by special reauest. He spoke eloquently of the advantages that have been derived from the former sessions of the congress, and predicted a bright future for the great West when its arid wastes shall hava been transformed into pros- perous farming communities. He described in a graphic manner the early struggles of the Mormons in Utah, the construction of their homes and the first attempts at irrigation under the most adverse conditions, and compared the ! arid waste of territory of those days with the beautiful State of Utah to-day, abounding in immense irrigation canals, constructed on the most scientific princi- les and at an expense of millions of dol- ars. His speech was one of the best de- livered at this session of the congress. The election of officers for .the ensuing year resulted as foliows: Chairman, E. R. Moses of Kansas; first vice-chairmau, Brigham Yonng of Utah; secund vice- chairman, E.G. Hudson of Illinois; secre- tary, S. M. Heintz ot California; National lecturer, Judge J. L. Emory of Kansas; assistant National lecturer, I. A. Ford of Nebraska; secreiary, L. B. Brainerd of Connecticut. The selection of a place for the meeting of the next annual session of the congress was t'en discussed. A vote was taken and Lincoln, Nebr., was chosen by an overwhelming mejority. At the afternoon session General O'Neil of Arizona macde a stirring aadress, criti- cizing severely the action of the irgigation congress thus far for failure to form a pian of action and for too much discus- sion. He proposed a bill for enactment by the National Cougress providing for the aid of the Federal Government in the reclamation of arid lands. The bill proposes thatthe Government shall loan to eacn of the arid States and Territories $1,000,000 per annum for ten years, to be returned by the Siates from tbe sale of land reclaimed by the expen- diture of this money. After some discussion resolutions rela- ting to the Wright act were adopted and the congress ad journed sine die. NEW TO-DAY. FOR THE BEST TREATMENT (DOCTOR COOK.) CALL ON OR WRITE TO DR.
