James Wells, son of Mrs. McGlincey,
hired woman, Minnie Shesler, and a
hired man, James Briscoe, were killed
by James Dunham, son-in-law of Col
onel Mckinney, who made his escape.
About midnight neighbor by the
name of Page heard the report of shots
in the direction of the Mckinney home.
Almost Immediately thereafter there
came the sound of galloping hoofs on the
county road. Hurriedly dressing, Page
preceded to the home of the McGlin-
ceys and was Mortified to find the body
of Mr.. McGlincey lying in an outhouse
in a pool of blood. Entering the house
he found the bodies of James Wells,
who had been shot; Mrs. Mckinney
and her daughter, who had been stabbed
to death by the assassin, and the hired
man and girl, who had been hacked to
death with hatchet. The interior of
the rooms where the bodies of the vic
tins lay were bespattered with blood,
and there was every evidence to show
that the dead had made a desperate
struggle for their lives.
Page, finding that all were beyond
help, proceeded at once to notify the
authorities in this city, and word was
Immediately telephoned to officers in all
parts of the county to be on the lookout
for the assassin. A large number of
officers and men left Immediately for
the scene of the murder.
The family was one of the best known
-. EnClsn0ox,
prominently identified with the fruit
business. The Mckinney home is in
the midst of the most beautiful and
prosperous section of Santa Clara county,
a region Of orchard homes.
Campbell is known as the prohibition
town of Santa Clara county, and is
largely settled by prosperous fasteners,
such as have built up Pasadena, Red
lands, Pomona and other towns in
Southern California.
At a.. M. an officer returned to the
city from the scene, and in an interview
said ''The scene at the Mckinney
home is one fearful almost beyond de-
scription. In room was found Wells.
Evidently terrible struggle had taken
place between Wells andIthe assassin.
Wells was shot two or three times, blood
was splashed all over the room, and be-
fore leaving his victim the assassin had
fred his clothing. In the reception
room no bodies were found, but the fur
niture was literally smashed into frag-
ments, showing that fearful fight had
taken place there. The furniture in the
dining-room was also demolished. Ad-
joining the dining-room was the apart
ment occupied by Mrs. McGlincey.
There she was found, literally slashed to
pieces with hatchet. Blood was every
where, and, as in the room of Wells,
there were evidences of terrible strug-
gle having taken place between the wo-
man and her fiendish son-in-law. The
other victims were found in other apart
ments.''
| The last seen of Dunham he was rid
ing rapidly toward San Jose on buck
skin horse with heavy Mexican saddle.
Family troubles are said to have caused
the murders.
! The only being in the house who e.
capped alive was baby one month old,
the child of Mrs. Dunham and the al
legged murderer.
Colonel Mckinney was one of the
California commissioners to the worlds
fair at Chicago.

Akron, Ohio, March S0.-Anson B.
Strong was arrested this afternoon at
Rayenna, Portage county, charged with
the murder of Mrs. Alvin n. Stone at
Tallmage on Saturday night.
The evidence on which the charge is
based is largely circumstantial.
Thirteen years ago Strong was sent
to the penitentiary for horse stealing
his conviction being secured by the tes-
timony of Stone.
Several years later, after his release
from prison, he was arrested again for
the same crime and again convicted on
the testimony of Stone.
He gained his liberty the second time
about three weeks ago and was at once
suspected of the murder of Stone and
his wife.
When taken into custody to-day
Strong said he was at the home OF his
sister in Ravenna all of Saturday night
and that he had gone TO church Sunday
morning. A search of the sisters house,
however, resulted in the discovery of a
suit of clothes and an overcoat which
had been placed by stove to dry.
There was no blood stains on the cloth
ing but Srong's sister said she had
washed the garments in an outhouse
early this morning. In one of Strong 5
pockets was found a railroad ticket from
Ravenna to Kent, the latter place being
within two miles of the scene Of Sat
urday nights tragedy. The ticket was
nurchased last SATURDAY.
Strong was brought here at o'clock
this evening and placed in Jail. The
news of the arrest soon spread and a
big crowd assembled. There was no
disorder. but Mayor Harper decided to
prevent an outbreak by ordering bat
terry A of the light artillery 10 assemble
at its armory and await developments.
