Man Hunters RetUra in Disgust after
FOIIOtCing False Leads.
FRESNO, CAL, June 8.-Deputy Sheriffs
L. P. Timmins and Thomas Lynch re-
turned to-day from the pursuit OF Dun
ham. The officers are satisfied that the
murderer is not in this county and never
was. They even scout the idea that Dun
ham came southwark at all.
The cause for the belief that the fugitive
had been in Fresno County was the state
ment that al old rancher named Schoo-
bert made to the effect that Dunham had
called at his place for a drink of water.
When seen by Fresno officer Schoobert
said that he had no reason to believe that
the murderer had paid him a visit. A
stranger who was passing on the trail had
called at his house for drink Such oc-
currences are frequent, and Schoobert said
that he took no notice of the appearance
OF the stranger. He merely told him to
go to the creek below the house for
water.
There are only two trails by which
Dunham could have travelled into Fresno
County," said Deputy Sheriff Timmins to
CALL correspondent tonight. Lynch
and myself made careful search and dill
gent inquiries along each and we could
rot find the slightest trail of the fugitive.
l am positive that Dunham never came
into Fresno County"
The officers had a very hard trip. The
weather was very hot and water was
scarce.

RAID ON A T|J|QUE HOME
Hirelings of a Brazilian Don
Attempt to Abduct a
Maiden.
One of the Invading Party Slain by
Her Father in a Pitched
Battle.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. MEX, June s.-A
Brazilian claiming to be Count and call
ing himself Don Juan Miguel de la Cerda
became enamored of the pretty 16-year-old
daughter of Merchant Dow, in the little
town OF Tijique, forty miles east of Albu-
querque. The girl rejected him and her
father ordered him away from the house.
After a few days the Don enlisted a
squad of sheepherders and gave it out
that he intended to storm the place and
carry the girl away by force, but the father
heard of his coming, and when Don Juan
approached the house yesterday evening a
pitched battle ensued in which one man
and horse on the Don's side were killed
outright and several men on both sides
dangerously wounded. Dow held the fort
and the Don's forces retired without the
girl.

furnishing the grain decorate the entire
length of the train. After the st. Louis
convention the train will proceed to New
York, making stops at all the important
cities, and in the event of Mckinley s
nomination days halt will be made at
Canton and there will be big celebration
there. Previous to the departure OF the
train a grand rally was held at the audi
torium, addressed by Hon. ]. Z. Burton
and Judge Sutton. Colonel H. W. Levy
of this city read an original poem, to cele-
brate the consummation of the corn-traln
scheme. The meeting then adjourned TO
the depot, where other addresses were
made.
"SyP Dickson, who inaugurated ana
carried out the enterprise, was introduced
and wildly cheered by the crowd. A score
of strong men made rush for him, and
he was carried on their shoulders, while
cheer after cheer for Dickson, Mckinley
and the orators who accompanied the
train rent the air.
Tonight there was another great meet
ing, addressed by ex-senator John }. In
gals. Speaking of the corn train and the
circumstance that it was struck by light
ming on Sunday night, he said: "Syl
Dickson is the Ajax of Kansas. He de-
hed the lightning and laughed at the
thunderbolts. In spite of the lightning
his corn train left strictly on time, and 1t
will reach st. Louis as scheduled, day
or two before the Mckinley ratification
meeting"
"The word impossible has been elimi-
mated from our vocabulary" said ingalls,.
The idea of the Kansas man is to per-
form the impossible, surpass the unat-
tainable This the protector OF the Nc
Kinley corn train has done"
The ex-senator defined his position on
the money question thus: Il am in favor
OF rational constitution and bimetallism,
but intend to stand on the st. Louis plat
form whether it comedies with my in
dividual opinions or not.
He took strong ground in favor of re-
stricting foreign immigration, and declared
himself more of protectionist than ever
before.

Bells Are Rung and a Band
Plays When the First.
Corners Arrive.
sERENADED IN THE EVENING.
The Grand Parlor Will Meet and
Organize To-Day-Reception to
the Delegates.

NAPA, CAL, June S.-The people of
Napa have completed the pleasant task of
decorating the streets and buildings in
honor of the Native Daughters, and are
ready to entertain their guests. Two car
loads of delegates arrived this evening,
and large number of citizens with brass
band met them at the depot. AS the train
arrived all the factory whistles were
blown, bells were rung and flags were
thrown to the breeze from the public build
ings.
Nearly every man, woman and child in
town wears the Grand Parlor colors in
some form or other; red and yellow
badges, neckties, hatbands, sashes and
bouquets are seen on every hand. Bicycles
adorned with the colors of the setting sun
are much in evidence, and even the dogs
are pressed into service by the enthusiastic
natives and many a canine wears a har-
ness more or less elaborate of red and
yellow bunting.
The wind, which had tempered the heat
of the day, played havoc with some of the
decorations, but the damage has all been
repaired. AS the visitors enter the busi-
ness part of the town from the depot they
cross the Thirdstreet bridge, which car
ries a great mass of evergreens and bunt-
ing. Main street, from Third to Pearl, is
spanned by hundreds of streamers, and to-
night is rendered as bright as day by
scores of electric lights. Every storekeeper
on the street has dressed his place of busi-
ness more or less deliberately. On all the
cross streets the decorations continue. An
immense arch of evergreens reaches from
the courthouse to the city hall. The fronts
of these two buildings are garbed in bunt-
ing, and on the front of the courthouse is
the greeting, "Welcome n. D. G. w."
formed with electric lights.
Many of the delegates have friends here,
with whom they are stopping, and the
others are given accommodations at the
hotels After they arrived the visitors
were serenaded at their hotels by the band,
and later IN the evening a concert was
given on the courthouse square.
The Grand Parlor will meet and organ
ize tomorrow morning. The day will be
largely taken up with the preliminary
business. The sessions will be held in Odd
Fellows Hail. In the evening reception
will be given in the opera-house. Mayor
J. A. Fuller will present to Grand Presi-
dent Mariana Bertola of Martinez the key
of the city. Hon. Frank L. Coombs, ex-
Minister to Japan, will deliver the address
of welcome. An excellent musical and
literary programme, IN which Miss Laura
Pugh, Mrs. E. w Churchill Miss Gertrude
Lamdin, Mrs. Richard Wylie, Miss Hattie

turned States evidence and pleaded guilty.
He will probably be let go.

CORBETT CHALLENGED
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Robert Fitz-
simmons, the pugilist, gave a dinner
this evening, at which James J. Cor
bett was challenged by Fitzsimmons.
Dave Holland was made temporary
stakeholder, and $4,000 forfeit was placed
in his hands. 1t is to remain up for thir-
ty days.
Fitzsimmons proposes that the fight
be to finish for $500 or $4,000 a side, and
the largest purse offered. He proposes
that it take place before or after the
Corbett-Sharkey fight, or in the same
ring, or at any place within reasona-
BILE time after that fight.
When Corbett was notified tonight at
Asbury Park of Fitzsimmons' challenge
he simply laughed and said: "Fitzsim-
mons is bluffing again. l chased him
for nearly two years to get him to fight,
and now that l am to fight Sharkey, he
issues challenge. I am going to accept
it, and do accept it. I will fight him
twenty minutes after Sharkey leaves
the ring. I am positive, however, that
Fitzsimmons will never enter the ring
with me. He has refused so many prop
ositions from me that he shows he does
not want to fight me, and is only bluff
fling. His bluff is called"

assemblyman. Both parties have al
ready made nominations for both off1c-
es, but the Democratic nominees have
withdrawn and the Populist nominee
for assemblyman is willing to do the
same in the interest of fusion, but the

down.-~An effort will be made to have
