DUNHAM's PLOT MIsCARRIEs
His fortunate Babe No Longer Sole
Heir to His Grandfather'S Large
Estate.

NEW YORK, N. Y, June 1.-THE
Herald says: George F. Dyer of San Fran
cisco, who is now at the Astor House,
stopped over in Washington on his way to
New York and helped to discover sur
vivor of the McGlincy family of San Jose.
On Wednesday, May 81, James G. Dun
ham, son-in-law of Colonel r. P. McGlin-
Cyl exterminated the family, consisting
of six persons committing one OF the most
extraordinary crimes of the century. The
only living human being left on the Nc
Glincy ranch was Percy Osborne Dun
ham, the infant son of the murderer and
of Hattie McGlincy Durham.
"When l left San Francisco" said Mr..
Dyer yesterday, "the officers of the law
were in search of Durham. He had been
seen near San Miguel. He had called at
house near Bradley; he had been tracked
to Santa ISABEL Valley and was believed
to be in hiding in Indian Gulch. The Off
GERS from San Jose said they had traced
him nearly to the Mexican border, finally
losing sight of him in the wild mountains
of the Coast Range. There has not been
so much excitement in California over a
murder for years.

STILL IN QUEST OF Coin
q. F. Marshall Wants Fifty
Thousand Dollars for Three
Damaged Teeth.
His Feelings We're Injured Also.
Suit Commenced Against J, D.
Spreckels.

II. f. Marshall. who was thrashed by
John d. Spreckels in THE CALL office one
night in April last, has sued the capitalist
for $4,000 damages. The reason why
Marshall was thrashed will now be made
known through the courts, and if the suit
has been brought for the purpose of plac-
ing certain men on the witness-stand and
bringing certain things to light it has not
been brought in vain. The truth-all the
truth-will be made known.
On that never to- be-torgotten mile post
in Mr.. Marshall's picturesque career, he
lost the lower halves of three of his front
teeth-hlghly valued teeth were they-and
acquired large and varied collection of
iacerations and bruises. Mr.. MARSHALL s
feelings were likewise bruised and LAGER
ated to degree painful to contemplate.
The owner of the teeth and feelings
valued at $50, 000-engaged several months
ago with two or three others in little
scheme to obtain a large sum of money
from Mr.. Spreckels, in exchange for which
they promised to secure for him the in
huence and votes of the American Protec-
tive Association in California
The scheme was fiat failure, but out of
its ruins the owner of the teeth and feel
ings-valued at $50, 000-constructed what
to the American eyes of himself and his
confederates promised big results. An
affidavit was prepared by Marshall, in
which he swore that the A. P. A. had been
sold to Mr.. Spreckels for valuable consid-
Grafton by President II udelson. This piece
of perjury was to be the eonspirators' stock
in trade.
They were to take the document to Mr..
Spreckels and tell him that if he did not
pay them SEC, 900 they would take it to the
Monitor and the Chronicle, by which it
would be published, to his great and last
ing injury. To let Mr.. Spreckels down
easy" they agreed to give him, in return
for the money, claim upon a mine,
which probably has no existence.
After-events have proved that the con-
spirators did not dream for moment that
their proposed victim wouldldefy them.
Mr.. Marshall essayed thesdelicate task
of approaching the capitalist on the sub
ject. He found Mr.. Spreckels in the bust
ness office of The CALL and made known
the wants of himself and his fellow-con-
spirators. Mr.. Marshall is a divinity stu
dent, but no blush suffused his cheek, no
tremor disturbed his tongue as he made
his demand for blackmail. He was asked
where the mine was located, but he could
not tell.
He was asked where the owner could be
found, and again he confessed his ignor-
ance. Finally he admitted that the mine,
so far as he knew, had no existence
Whenever Mr.. Marshall writes the obitu-
airy of his lost teeth he will date the event
the moment after he confessed that the
mine, so far as he knew, was myth. Mr..
Spreckels arose and thrashed him with
vigor and enthusiasm. Subsequently Mar
shall signed an affidavit declaring that the
mine had no existence, and then he was
taken to his home, where he slowly con-
yalesced

why they Kept the Dog.

The dog has often been called mans
best friend, and one knows how often his
presence in the house is worth more than
any amount of moral maxims for the
children. A very suggestive little instance
of this cropped up recently at Corydon, on
the hearing of summons for keeping a
dog without a license. The offense was
admitted, but the defendants wife pleaded
that she only kept the animal because the
children were so fond of it.
At that moment she had little girl i'll,
and she would not take her medicine un-
less her mother pretended to give it to the
dog first. No doubt the child's principles
were Love me, love my dog" and if the
nauseous medicine was necessary for the
good of the animal the doggie's little
friend thought it must be good enough for
her. No wonder the magistrate adjourned
the case This story reveals such valu-
able discovery in domestic medicine that
we certainly think this dog ought to be
allowed to get liberty and to have no
hcense.-The Westminster Gazette.

ONLY A BABY TORNADO,
1t Pays a Brief, but Lively Visit
to the CarpiDteria
Valley.
Orchards Are Ruined and Buildings
Damaged, but Nobody Seri-
ously Hurt.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, June ia
genuine little tornado came in from the
sea yesterday afternoon and swept through
Carpinteria Valley, disappearing over the
mountain range. Fortunately its ravages
were confined to district but thinly popu-
lated and consisting of large ranches with
but few buildings.
A few tough old live oaks were leveled
by the storm and a track cut through
orchards, but no persons were injured or
buildings materially damaged so far as
heard from.
Persons who witnessed the approach of
this tornado describe the scene as extraor-
binary.
Carpinteria lies direct along the sea-
shore and consists of level valley. rising
where it approaches the mountain. A
heavy bank of fog was lying over the sea
and along the shore, when black,
funneledshaped cloud came cutting the fog
like knife scattering the mist on either
side into great waves, whose surge was
plainly visible, and speeding through the
valley, cut track to the hills.
Santa Barbara County can claim the
distinction of having experienced the only
three cyclones, or more properly
speaking, tornadoes that have ever
visited California, and, although these
were baby tornadoes, they have yet been
demonstrations of sufficient dignity to dis
countenance any sneerlng. Last year
one of these clouds in the dead Of night
descended upon the upper Santa Ynez
Valley, tearing a big barn TO splinters and
lifting threshing machine, cooking out
fit, shantv and all over fence and setting
it safely down on the other side.
The most notable of these phenoma
visited Santa Barbara in the winter of III.
A heavy southeastern had been prevailing
all day. At $50 in the evening a column
of electric fire was seen by watchers on the
water front to detach itself from the heavy
mass of clouds and fly rapidly shoreward.
A lumber schooner lying at the wharf
was driven completely through it, cutting
the wharf in two and badly damaging Che
vessel. 1t then struck the land, seeming
to lift in true cyclone style, taking path
west of State street, below Dibble hill, up
De Lavina street and out in the direction
of Hope Ranch, where it is believed to
have entered the sea.
At Mr.. Tierney's residence on De la
Vina street it twisted new barn around
on its foundation, lifted a heavy farm
wagon over the fence and deposited it in
the back yard of his neighbor, Mr.. Roeder,
and lifted some lighter articles into trees
in the yard of the Bradbury home.
Farther up the street well-known resi-
dent had a pet calf lifted from its corral
and safely deposited in the branches of a
tall tree, whence it was rescued with diff
Guilty. In passing over its course it top
pied down brick chimney on the house
of Elder Goss, killing his young son. This
tragedy alone presented a serious side to a
phenomenon which was in its other phases
merely very picturesque and amusing
prank OF nature.

FIRsr CArCR ToUR HARE.
Minnie SchessIef's Father Wants $25 900
Ero1rl dalrderea. Durham


SAN JOSE, CAL, June 17.-Jacob A.
SchessIer, father of Minnie Schessler, the
hired girl in the McGlincy family, who
was killed by James C. Durham, will sue
Durham for $25, 900 damages for the loss of
his daughter.
The action is one of simple damages for
the loss of the daughter services. Plain
tiff claims he is old and was dependent
largely if not entirely upon his daughter
for support. She was cheerfully Iaboring
to lift mortgage on the humble home of
the family here. Her death deprived the
father of her support, love and society, and
he asks for judgment for S25, 200 against
the absent murderer.
Attorney Fl. V. Morehouse has taken the
case and says it will be a fight to finish
to test the law. The young woman was of
age, but the claim is made that this does
not bar the action, since she gave her SER
vices to her father and was working with
the distinct understanding and avowed
purpose of clearing the mortgage on her
fathers home.
