Sheriff Ward and Detective Ellsworth OF
this city returned tonight from their
hunt for Dunham. They did not get
Dunhan nor see him, and were not chased
by Mexican rurales, because they pru-

thew had got wind, perhaps of the
Mexican posse, and they were very sure
of their ground before venturing into
Mexican territory.
Roth Marshal Gard and Sheriff Lyndon
had the audacity to DENY positively that
,hev had been hunting Dunbar at all,
though Gard had as positively told CALL
reporter before he started that Durham
was the man wanted.
.sYou'd be surprised now if Itold you
that we are not after Durham" said Gard
last night. "Well, that's what I say. We
are not after Durham. but you can go
ahead and say so in the papers. we are
after another man, and what is more We
didn't look for him in Mexico. can't
tell YOU who the other man is, OF course.
Sher.ff Lyndon was very uncommuni-
catlve. His manner, as well as that OF
Marshal Gard, was one of disgust They
did not want to talk of Durham.

DR.. 0cALLIGAAN RELEASED.
Interesting "reminiscences Recalled BY
the Action of the Idaho Board
of PdrdonS

BOISE, IDAHO, Dec. 1.-THE Idaho
Board of Pardons has pardoned DR.. E. ].
O'Cellighan on condition that he leaves
the State, the pardon TO take effect on
Christmas day.
In 1885 O'Callighan killed John Breene
at Blackfoot and was convicted of murder
in the first degree. The Supreme Court
reversed the judgment and his second SEN
tence was to life imprisonment He
entered the penitentiary in March. 1886.
O'Cailighan was one of the best known
physicians in the southeastern part of the
State and had a practice extending into
Montana and Utah. He had 8 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
he passed QUE through the front door, he
came back by the door in the rear. O'Cal-
lighan heard him fumbing at the back
door and supposing that it was Crawford
who had come 10 Kill him he went to
window and shot the man dead.
The board was petitioaed by large num-
bers OF people to pardon the convict, his
old army associates being specially active
IN his behalf. 1t felt there was grave
doubt about the Legality 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 case. 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 friend, to in
duce the court here to follow the deci-
sions and then get the doctor out on a
writ of habeas corpus. The court fell into
the trap, but O'Cailighan's friends were
satisfied when they knew he was saved
from the eallows, and declined to furnish
bonds for the proposed habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. Hence the doctor has been in
the penirentiary for ten years, when, as
believed by attorneys, he could have been
set free in sixty days.

FOR PATTISON.

Committee Launches His Boom.
Complimentary Resolutions Adopt
ed.

Harrisburg, Pa, February 12.-The
PattlsOn boom for the presidency was
launched with much enthusiasm TO-
day at the meeting of the State Demo-
cratic Committee to arrange for the
next State Convention. The meeting
was largely attended and the sentiment
was overwhelmingly in favor of the
nomination of Ex-Governor Robert q.
Pattison for president by national con-
ventiOn at Chicago. A resolution en-
dorsing his candidacy was offered by
John NJ. Carman, Of Luzerne, and unan-
imously adopted.
The following is the text of the reso-
luton endorsing Ex-Governor Pattison
for the presidency:
Resolved, That the Democratic
State Central Committee recommend
that the Democracy of Pennsylvania
present to the Democratic National
Convention the name OF Ex-Governor
Robert e. PattisOn as that Of strong
and available candidate for the presl-
dency. In character, in ability. in
official experience, in the fearful and
fearless discharge OF public duties, Mr..

Office for which we recommend him;
enjoying to the fullest extent the con-
fidence Of the people because Of his
steadfast adherence to the cause of
good government his selection as the
standard bearer Of the Democratic
party would be met by generous and
enthusiastic approval. Sound in prin
ciple, his lea ership would be such that
all time Democrats might safely fo.-
low"
National Chairman Harrity. who
came to this city to attend the meeting
Of the Democratic State committee, ex-
pressed himself as much pleased at the
unanimous passage of the resolution
endorsing Ex-Governor Pattison for the
presidency. In an interview Mr.. Har-
rity said:
THE action Of the Democratic State
central committee in recommending the
nomination of Ex-Governor Pattison for
the presidency unquestionably reflects
the sentiment of the Democracy Of
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Pattison is very
popular with his PARTY and has the con-
fdence Of the people irrespective of
party. I have no doubt but that the
coming Democratic State convention
will declare for him with entire and
substantial Unanimity and that he will
have the cordial and loyal support OF
the Pennsylvania delegation 10 the
Democratic national convention"

Ellenboro, w. Va, February 12.-
The well on w. II. Hamilton's farm,
near High,nd. is down 375 feet, and
formations are similar to the Whisky
run country.
Owing to the miserable condition Of
the roads in this section, active work
in the fields in this section is some
what retarded, but the Ritcnie county
roads are in much better condition
than on the Sistersville route, and
large quantities of material are being
hauled from this point and Pennsboro.
Several new locations have been
made on Whisky and Rock runs, and
a little improvement in the roads will
bring renewed activity.
The Eureka Pipe Line Company now
have all the pipe strung on the Whisky
run line, and the work Of laying the
line will begin in day or two and give
employment to a large force of men.
Since shooting Wanlass No. 2, at
Cairo, the well has been averaging
nearly a hundred barrels per day, and

will watch this venture closely, as a

up an entirely new extension OF the
field.
This point would be an excellent 10
ction for an oil well repair shop, as
now all repairing must be done at
Marietta or Belmont.
1t is said thirty new rigs are going
up in the Sugar creek country, which
extends from within six miles Of this
place clear to the Kyle well on Indian
creek.

All the oil now produced from the
Nesbitt well. on the Strickler farm, is
from the Keener sand. and IS of
beautiful amber color, but operators
hope to find Big Injun oil, as that sand
is found in good thickness and quality.
