had often ridden the animal. Last night
he went up into the mountain to join in
pursuit of the murderer. He was ready
to pledge his honor that he would be able
to recognize the footprints of Patchen.
He demonstrated the truth of what he
SAID. He rode with a companion, Robert
Hamilton, over the summit of the noun
tain and circled back over the ridges, as
he had been instructed to do. At point
a mile from and above the Smith Creek
Hotel they came upon place where a
man had evidently camped and allowed
his horse to stop and craze.
The situation was such that the hotel
lay under their eye, and the camper could
have watched what went on there at his
ease. Burlington got down and examined
the footprints of the horse and rising up
declared:
"Those are Patchen's tracks"
They returned to the hotel and found
Sheriff Lyndon was there and had made a
find. Tire Sheriff asked Burlington to 90
on into the barn and tell him If he could
identify the animal he found there. He
rode into the barn and there was Patchen.
He addressed the brute by name and it
turned its head and whinnied a glad
recognition.
Midnight tonight two horsemen rode
down First street from the scene of the
search, and were almost mobbed by the
crowd at the Santa Clara corner. The
riders were asked as to where the muir
derer was. When they replied they did
not know the crowd threatened 70 pull
them off their horses, and attempted to
90 so.
The riders were Howard Burlington and
Robert Hamilton of Campbells, who had
been engaged all day in the unsuccessful
search. They told their story to the
crowd and were then allowed to go. They
had had hard experience. they said and
had been in places where they feared that
they would be unable to get out, such was
the tangle of woods and underbrush.
Their horses had thrown their shoes an d
they were compelled to come to town.
They will return in the morning.
They report that the mountain is being
secured thoroughly, and they declare il
strange if the fugitive is able to get away,
provided the patrol is kept up until tie
much-wanted man is starved out. Until
then they believe it entirely possible that
he may keep in successful hiding in the
| thicxet.

pectant, more impatient, awaiting some
new developments.
The vicinity of the courthouse and First
and Santa Clara streets has the appear
ance of cycle meet, so great is the gath
ering of wheelmen. Interest in the details
of the tragedy and the history of the par
ticipants is sunk in the one question as 10
the quick capture of the murderer.
The story of the horse that had carried
the murderer of the McGlincy family away
from the people who were seeking to
avenge that crime, is worth repeating. 1t
was the apple of the eye of Jimmy Wells,
one of those victims, the son of Mrs.
McGlincy. 1t was an old horse, but hardy
one, capable of great endurance. When
Jimmy Wells was baby, it became his in
dividual property. Itfollowed him where
ever he went about the farm, and Jimmy
grew to love the horse as he loved nothing
else except his mother and sister. He
christened him "Patchen," and Patchen,
the now famous "buckskin." or ''ciay-
bank" horse, became an institution of the
Campbell district, and always identified
with Jimmy Wells.
And Jimmy Wells himself was one of
tne ulOsG pOpuIdr young fellows OF LHlS
district. He was rapidly taxing his place
as the first man on the ranch, young as he
was. He was active, cool-headed, gritty,
an athlete. and very ambitious. As he
had grown older his love for Patchen had
increased, if anything, and he always in
sisted upon it having the best of care.
Dunham knew this, and had never tried
to cross Jimmy Wells in this, although the
two disliked each other cordially.
The theory of it is that when Dunham
turned upon the McGlincy family in the
night and destroyed it he took Patchen to
carry him away to safety. He rode him
without saddle through the mountains
until the sturdy old horse could go nc
farther-until great sores were formed
upon his back through the hard riding
and rough usage-and then he turned him
loose in the brush.
What if Jimmy Wells had known tc
what uses he was bringing Patchen up?
Howard Burlington, a young man liv.
ing at Campbells, knew Patchen well and

ARE LAID TO REST.
Five Victims of the Fugitive Muir
derer Buried.

0CtCk
SAN JOSE, CAL, May 29.-The funeral
of five of the victims OF James Dunham's
awful crime took place this afternoon at 2
o'clock from the Congregational church at
Campbells, under the auspices of the In
dependent Order of Odd Fellows. Not
withstanding the sensational features of
the deed that caused the death of those
over whom the last rites were to be per-
formed, there were but few in the enor-
nous assem- blage of people who came to
satisfy morbid curiosity, or who were
present for any purpose other than to do
honor to the dead. Tears molstened the
eyes of hundreds of friends. While this
vast throng was listening to the sad rites
the rumor was being spread that the
slayer of those about to be inferred was in
the hands of officers.
1t was but short time after noon when
vehicles going toward Campbells were
numerous on all the roads, and at the
hour set for the funeral the roads leading
into Campbells were lined on both sides
with carriages and buggies. At the Nc
Glincy home there were no services. At
1880 o'clock the bodies were removed to
the church, followed by long cortege
On arriving at the church the five caskets
were placed in front of the pulpit. and
with them were laid the magnificent floral
offerings of civic organizations and friends.
The services were entirely under the di-
rection of the Odd Fellows, many of whom
were present from the San Jose and Santa
Clara lodges and Morning Light Lodge OF
Campbells, of which Colonel McGlincy
had been an enthusiastic and frequently
no nored member.
After the baskets had been placed in the
church the Odd Fellows filed in and were
seated in the front rows. Then came
members of the San Jose Grange, in which
Colonel McGlincy and family had been
ardent workers for years. Friends crowded
into every foot of space within the interior
of the little edi6ce. All the pall-bearers
were Odd Fellows and were as follows:

Is HE The DEMON?
Officers Pursue a Bicyclist Who
Resembles Durham,

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, May 29.-After
the receipt here this morning of minute
description of James Dunham, the San
Jose murderer, several officers called to
mind that last night stranger was seen
in town on a bicycle. He had evidently
ridden a long distance, and comparison
showed that in many details he answered
the murderer's description.
At once posse started out to search for
him, but up TO late hour no trace had
been found of the suspected stranger. If
it were Dunham, he is probably far on his
way south by this time. The country
south of here is very unsettled and wild,
and a f-gitlve would have little difficulty
in evading pursuit until he reached the
more thickly settled region about Los
Angeles
