PLANS FOR TIRE FUTURE.
The Camp6elLs Demon Desired to Per-
chase Saloon.

The Canp6eHs Demon Desired to Per-
chase Saloon.
SAN JOSE, CAL, June byron Cottle
OF this city, who has formed one of the
Sheriff's posse in the search for James c..
Dunham, knew the murderer very well.
A week or ten days before the murder
Dunham came to Cottle, and telling him
that he had few hundred dollars to in
vest Ill some business by which he could
make plenty of money without working
hard, asked his advice as to opening sa-
loon. Cottle told him he thought there
was little money IN it in this city, ana ad-
vised him, if be really wanted to open a
saloon, to seek some small town where
there was good payroll, suggesting the
Utica mine.
"That is at Angels Camp" said Dun
ham; 81 know the place. The trouble is
that the men are not allowed to spend
their money in whisky up there. If they
are caught doing so they are discharged" "
In further conversation Dunham showed
himself to be quite familiar with many
places in the north end of the State. Cot
tie saw Dunham on Monday, the day be-
fore the murder, and talked with him
along similar lines. This would indicate
that there was more than a disposition to
annoy his wife in Dunham's various
threats to go to Texas, open a saloon and
gambling-house and rear his son in the
Catholic faith. Evidently the first part of
the threat, at least, had formed as some
thing OF a purpose in his mind.
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-03

Doyly, who resides at the corner Of Second
and Empire streets, was schoolmate OF
Dunham's at the Washburn School.
Speaking of this, Doyly said tonight:
'I went to school with the murderer for
about month, and used to sit next to
him. He seemed quite studious, but the
boys at the school always noticed that he
never wore shoes that were N ates. In the
morning when Dunham would come to
school we would at once glance at his feet,
and would always see one shoe with
pointed toe and the other either square or
round pointed. They were all apparently
the same size and in good condition.
When he saw us noticing his feet, he
would show little embarrass sment. We
'ioshed him, but he never got mad.
This reported popularity gives some ba-
sis of truth to the reiterated story OF the
track of single pointed shoe that has
come down from the mountain. 1t Is re-
peated again that the searchers in Indian
Gulch have found such tracks at Intervals
leading from near where the buckskin
horse was found to the head of the gulch
and clearly indicating that they were the
same as those followed the day before in
the SAT- Isabel. From Indian Gulch Dun
ham could have made his way down the
the Alameda and out by Niles or over the
ridge south into the Paoheco Mountains.
There, it is believed, he would be safe
among the many Mexican convicts who
live there, and who, while his money holds
out, might be expected to protect him.

criminals and drunks and crazy folks,
but this is my first place caring for baby
and | need day or two to learn the
ropes"
The McGlincy family was always a
happy and singularly united one until Dun
ham made his unfortunate entry into it.
Mrs. Wells had been a school teacher, was
well educated and her children loved and
trusted her. She gave them an excellent
education With her husband, Wells,
she came here in 1867 and they bought
their place near the Willows when land
was very cheap. Wells was soldier and
they came here for his health. He seemed
to get better for time, but died in 1886 or
thereabouts. McGlincy was on the estate
at the time of Wells death or came some
what later.
He also was a soldier, had served IN
cavalry regiment of the Confederate army
and was wounded. He was present at the
surrender of General Lee.
Mrs. Wells marriage to McGlincy does
not seem to have marred the relationship
of mother and children, as the latter soon
looked to him as their father. Mrs Nc
Glincy remained as the head of the family.
She was a practical, level-headed woman,
and an excellent manager. She tried TO
have her husband take the lead on the
farm, but he manifested little talent for di-
recting affairs, and so she continued to do
so. The children had such trust in her that
they made no motion to secure their
separate portions in the property after
their fathers death.
When Durham wiped out this entire
family he no doubt knew that his wife
had been practically left out of her
mothers will, and so he made the way
the entire property owned by the people

WOODLAND CONVENTION.
Yoto County Democrats Declare foi

WOODLAND CAL, June 2.-The Demo-
cratic County Convention met in this city
this afternoon, with eighty-six delegates
present. E. c. Rust of Winters was unan-
imously chosen chairman and P. L. Lauge-
nour of Dunnigan secretary.
The platform reaffirms the confidence of
the Yolo County Democracy in the prin-
cipes of the party. 1t recognizes the
public school system as the only reliance
for popular education and declares against
any movement to inject sectarianism in
the course of study. One plank in the
platform declares against any laws respect
ing religion or prohibiting the free exer-
else thereof, and proclaims that wh enever
any man or class of men attempt to de-
prive citizen of the United States of the
right to worship God according to the die
tates of his own conscience they stand in
hostility to the constitution. The admin
istration of Governor Budd is heartily in
dorsed and also that of President Cleve-
land, with the exception that his financial
policy is neither commended nor con-
demned.
On the financial question the platform
practically declares for sound" money
and insists that the purchasing power of
silver be maintai ined.
Ed E. Leake, Byron Bali, c. E. Devilbiss
and Charles Laugenour were elected dele
gomery, D. T. Houx, l.. Charmak and NJ

Surrounded by the comforts of an ele-
CANT home, Baby Dunham, robed in dainty,
feecy garments, is dreaming away the
sleepy hours of his dawning childhood.
His grandaunt, Mrs. M. T. Brewer, has
taken him to her home on Turk street.
where he is destined to remain, for yester-
day Judge Slack granted letters of guard
ianship to M. T. Brewer.
He doesn't look as though he were the
sole survivor OF wholesale slaughter,
does he?' said Mrs. Brewer last night
gazing fondly upon the infant, which lay
slum bering in her lap. Here the baby
is safe from harm. We intend to bring
him up far from the scene of the dreadful
tragedy, on which his infant eyes must
have rested"

marks here opened his eyes and crowed in
proper baby fashion. No shade of death
and horror seems to overhang the murder

heart of an Emmett was still with her,
and Ireland would soon be able to write
the epitaph that she had not dared &c
write.
1t was part of history, he said, that Ire
land was free when the Egyptians were
building the pyramids-when Caesar was a
conqueror. Whenever trouble came the
ing by and defending the flag. That was
true of the Irish of Santa Clara County
and the sons of Erin in ali parts of Cali
fornia.
In closing he introduced, as one of the
foremost Hibernians Of the State, Bernard
S. Higgins of San Jose. Mr.. Higgins made
brief and happy response, extending
again the welcome of San Jose to the Hi
bernians.
The next speaker, Captain Crowley,
spoke to the sentiment, 1.-The Church and
the Order" He began by relating little
incident of twenty years ago on the 18th
mus of Panama. When surprise was then
expressed at seeing an Irishman in place
so hot as Panama, the son of Erin who
was living there remarked: "Why, | sup
pose there are Irish in hades" The de-
duction was that Irish landlords were
meant.
Mr.. Crowley was not certain whether he
was to speak on the influence OF the
church on the order or the influence OF the
order on the church. He made joking
allusions to the silence of members talka-
tive during the conventions; OF the pug
nacity of usually placid members and the
brevity of Condin. The influence of the
church on the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans was to produce quiet. Laughter.
The society, like the eagle, had always
manifested a disposition to soar, and the
soaring was now about to begin. In clos
ing, he proposed the health of the oldest
society in the church-a society which
possessed the vigor Of youth With the wis
dom of age.
]. ]. Donovan was asked to say what he
would do if he got to purgatory. He
hoped the audience would not expect
brilliant after-dinner speech, when there
were only two really gifted speakers of this
kind in the United States.
The State secretary, Captain Ed j.
Sheehan, was called out by the toastmas-

Country" He said the country of an
Irishman was where his home was. Irish
men had right to call this country their
country, for they had settled in Virginia
before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth
Rock.
The money which carried on the Revo-
lutionary War was put up by Irishmen-
merchants of Philadelphia. Great ap-
plause.] Mention of General Shields gall
liant record in the Mexican War called out
great applause. The Civil War, the
speaker said, produced a whole galaxy of
brilliant fighters to attest the truth that
this was Ireland's country.

nothing to the story whatever. Wadlams
had manufactured it out of whole cloth.
At late hour the party reached point

aid he guessed he'd remain with the team
aud not go to Goes ranch. The officers
left him with the rig and started off along
u trail.
Upon reaching the ranch Coe was
aroused and came out. When he learned
of the purpose of the officers visit he de-
ciared the entire story fake; that he had
not seen Dunham; had not sold rifle or
food to any stranger. The party then ex-
amined the roads and bridges by means OF
lanterns, but failed to find any pointed
shoe prints or bicycle tracks. They started
back over the rough road, pausing occa-
sioually to kick themselves. On their way
back they discussed the various kinds of
punishment that should be meted out to
Wadlams. When they reached the team
in charge of Wadlams the latter asked:
Ibid you see Coe?'
Eyes, we saw him and he says the whole
yarn is false"
"Well, 1 didn't think he'd admit 1t,

large number of representative citizens
present. The feeling displayed, he said,
disposed of the idea that Irishmen could
not dwell together in harmony. In a
playful sense the POSTMASTER invited
brogue and blarney.
Speaking of the Irish, he said the only

of fidelity and devotion to her homes. By
