league, which will be held at Milwaukee on
August 25-27 This convention will be COM
posed of two delegates-at-large from each State
and two delegates from each Congressional
District in which there shall be one or more
permanent Republican clubs, together with
the president and secretary of each State
League. Clubs may obtain further informa-
ton by addressing the secretary OF the Cali
fornia League at Los Angeles.
There should be a league club in every col
lege to offset the free-trade fallacies that have
been taught in many of our institutions of
learning. The issue is drawn between patriot
ism, protection and prosperity on one side,
and foreign theories and foreign wages on the
other.
Every town should have its club. These can
CIRCULATE speeches and campaign publications
under the supervision of the State League, and
by advocating the real issues educate every
voter before election. Concerted action is de-
sired among these clubs and for this purpose
the immediate formation of district leagues IS
urged.
The District League, when once organized, is
always kept in active working order by the
enthusiasm accumulated every two years in
the Congressional elections. The energetic
will always make its conventions full of life,
and the large territory covered by the clubs
will give to them an Importance that will
make them worthy of public attention.
AS soon as the seven Congressional districts
of the State are thoroughly organizeda State
convention will be called. Delegates to the
Milwaukee convention will obtain their Gre
Gentials from the State secretary. Yours for
Republican success, ARTHUR w. KINNEY,
President California State League.

MERGED, CAL, June GA. Brandon, a
rancher living ten miles southeast OF Mer-
ced, came to town this afternoon and re-
ported that suspicious-looking character,
evidently a criminal, had come to his
ranch about o'clock on Thursday evening
and asked for something to eat. Neither
Brandon nor his men could induce the
stranger to tell where he was from or
whittier he was going.
After eating supper the stranger started
northeastward toward the foothills. His
strange actions caused Brandon to take a
good look at him, and one of Brandon's
neighbors, who happened in at the time,
also examined his appearance carefully.
Brandon and the neighbor came to
Merced to-day and described the stranger
to Constable T. A.. Mack, who at once
recognized the description as that of Dun
ham, the San Jose murderer.
Mack then produced a photograph of
Dunham. and both men identified it pos
itively as perfect picture of the man
who visited the Brandon ranch on Thurs
day night.
Officers started Immediately from here
in pursuit.

of 1926. These two young ladies were the
only real contestants in the race tonight.
Many large blocks of votes had been pur-
chased during the past two or three days
for the two leading candidates, and to-day
the number was augmented.
The voting proceeded with apparent
slowness during the last hour, but in
reality the ballots were going in in lots OF
scores and hundreds. Many of the nigh
school boys, who had been working for
Miss Turcot, were at the carnival head
quarters during the evening eagerly
watching the votes as they were put into
the box, for Miss Turcot was a favorite
graduate of the class of go.
Miss Turcot won many admirers by her
admirable essay, 1.-THE Glass Prophecy"
read at the recent commencement, and by
her work as associate of Milton Schwartz
in the editorial conduct of Santa Cruz Hi,
very creditable amateur paper published
by high-school pupils. She is a niece of
Judge J. H. Logan of the Superior Court
of this county and makes her home with
her uncle and aunt at Logan Heights
Judge Logan was present at the polling
booth tonight and received the congratu-
lations of many friends upon his niece's
success. He was greeted with the high
school class 'yell' st the announcement
of the total vote of 5232.
The maids of honor elected are Misses
Minnie Cope, Lima Wilbur, Grace Young,

Mysterious Stranger for Whon Locd
Officers Are Seeking.

Mysterious Stranger for Whom Local
Officers Are Seeking.
The police are looking for dusty,
travel-stained stranger who arrived in this
City one week ago tonight. There is rea-
son to believe that the hunted man is no
less person than Dunham, the six-time
murderer OF Santa Clara County. Last
Sunday the Independent Rifles gave pic
mic in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the
stopping point being but few miles from
the scene of the Campbells tragedy. The
reasons which lead the police and others
to believe that Dunham is or has been in
the City are best given by member OF the
Independent Rifles.
"We had been at the picnic grounds
about two hours" he said, when a
stranger suddenly appeared in the crowd.
At the time nothing was thought of the
occurrence, as it is a common thing for
the country folks to mix with plcn1ckers
visiting there. | as we'll as others noticed
that the stranger had on neat fitting suit
of clothes, though they showed visible
evidence of long, tiresome trip. The
fellows face was covered by short
stubby beard, and he gave other evidence
OF having been long way from home. l
wish to say, however, that at the time
these personal shortcomings did not at
tract any particular notice.
During the day the fellow mixed with
the crowd in a general sort of way, though
he did not seem to know anv particular
person. He talked with all in a free and
easy manner, but he was reticent concern
ing himself. In the evening when the
picnickers boarded the train for their re-
turn to the City the stranger was also a
passenger. He vas without a ticket, but
he got around that by paying his fare.
''Then for the first time we began to
notice him, and all his personal peculiari-
ties became plainly evident. Now, l am
perfectly convinced that this man was the
murderer, for the pictures published tally
exactly with his appearance.
''When the train reached San Francisco
our temporary companion moved slowly
from the car with the crowd. and then
lost himself in the greater throng outside.
l have not see him since, and | hardly
suppose any one else has"
For week past every effort has been
made to find the man who looks like Dun
ham and who made himself so much at
home among the gay pleasure-seekers OF
Santa Cruz Mountains. So far not the
slightest trace of him has been found.
The impression prevails that the stranger,
whom many now swear was Durham,

SAN JOSE, CAL, June 6. - Deputy
Sheriff Gardner returned to San Jose this
morning after having spent eight days in
the mountains in search of Murderer Dun
ham, and although he returned without
the much-sought criminal he is still hope
full that Dunham will be captured in the
direction in which he has been searching.
lie is confident that he and his party were
on Dunham' s trail, and that had they been
two days earlier in their chase in that di-
rection they would have been sure of cap
turing him. Deputy Sheriff Rives and
Sheriff McEvoy of San Mateo also re.
turned with Gardner.
"Rives and left here one week ago last
Wednesday," said Deputy Sheriff Gard
ner. "We struck in the Santa Cruz Noun
tains by way of Almaden and then worked
eastward. The next day we got word of
Durham having been seen back of Smith s
Greek, so we figured that we had better
get into the mountains back OF Bells sta

and Harrison went across the mountains
| by the Pacheco Pass road and we went
back into the mountains about twelve
miles northeast of Bells station.
around little spring we found foot
prints, and we followed them for some dis
tance along the ridge and then lost them,
but We finally found Dunham's tracks in
the creek bed and followed them for sew

"O'Connor had been getting ready to take
his cattle to market. On Saturday night
some one slept in O'Connor's barn. and
when O'Conner went to the barn early the
next morning the man jumped out of
rear window and hid near by in the grow
ing barley. We saw where he slept and
where he had pressed the barley down.
I'VE started down the canyon, and had
not gone far when we got on to Dunham' s
trail and found barley sack contain ing
three biscuits which had been cooked
several days before, small piece of meat
and portion of -four sack. Near by was
also copy of THE CALL of May and a
saucer. There was a bottle, in which was
about teaspoonful of milk. We soon
lost the trail and did not strike it again un.
! til we reached the Mountain Mouse, about
fifteen miles from O'Connor's, and south
east of Bells. AT the Mountain House we
found that stranger had slept there on
Sunday night, and it was Tuesday night
when he reached there. A Spaniard saw g
man crawl out of a manger early in the
morning, and his description answered
that of Dunham.
"We then thought we would go down
the ridge in a southerly direction. -Four
miles below we found the grain sacks
which Dunham had been wearing on his
| feet, and from there we found tracks twice
near the headwaters of Los Banos. Dun
ham was day ahead of US, so we though

trailing. We went on the double quick to
the ridge between Big Panoche and Little
Panoche valleys, and there we were intend
ing to stop for the night. This was on
Thursday night. The Under Sheriff OF
Hollister came to US about II o'clock that
night with telegram from Under Sheriff
Benson, stating that Edison was on the
trail near Hayes station. We saddled up
and struck out about II o'clock, arriving
at Big Panoche at o'clock on Friday
morning.
1--WE went on to Hayes station and tried
TO get fresh horses there, but could get
none. Our horses were worn out. We
found that Dunham was seen three miles
this side of Hayes station on Wednesday.
AS we could get no horses we declded TO
turn back and be ready to take the train
for the point nearest to where Durham
might be seen.''
Gardner expresses the utmost faith in
the theory that Dunham is beating SOUTH
ward. Deputies Gardner and Rlves Will
probably leave tomorrow morning Tor
San Miguel by train, and from that point
go to Bitter Water, through Priest Valley,
and endeayor to get on the trail again as
near Dunham as possible.

FATALITY At PINE NUT,
Mine-0wner Zirn's Life Crushed
Out by the Falling of a
Bowlder.
Shocking Death of a Man Who
Owned Gold Fields Worth
Millions.

CARSON, New, June 6.-William Zrn,
the discoverer and principal owner of the
now famous mines at Pine Nut, was killed
at his mine to-day. An overhanging
bowlder fell upon him, crushing out his
life. zirn evidently heard the bowlder
start and crowded toward the wall, but his
chest was crushed in and both legs broken.
The accident occurred Just after the noon
meal, when Zirn was alone.
Zirn died with millions around him.
The mine lately had developed some Won
derfully rich ore, and the new mill put up
by Zirn & Schultz had been turning out
bullion in large quantities. Many people
are of the opinion that Zirn had a great
deal of wealth in the shape Of gold dust
which he had saved for years, as he could
always produce any quantity required.
His partner, Schultz, was in Carson at the
time of the accident.

The great State OF California has never had
