SMITHS CREEK, CAL, May 29.-The
entire country up here is aroused and
everybody one sees is armed and on the
outlook for Dunham, the slayer of Colonel
McGlincy and the members of his house
hold Tuesday night. Along the road from
San Jose one meets numerous men armed
with shotguns, knives and revolvers. The
ranchers are on the outlook for Dunham,
and should he apply for meal at any OF
their cabins it is not likely that he would
leave alive.
About 10 o'clock this morning Sheriff
Lyndon of Santa Clara and Sheriff Bal
lou Of San Louis Obispo found Dunham's
horse in Indian Gulch, branch of Sui
phur Creek, about mile and half from
Smiths Creek. The gulch is about two
miles long. very rugged and very deep.
The horse was grazing on the side of the
gulch and was turned loose. In the bed
of the gulch was evidence that Dunham
had camped there over night. Near where
he camped was piece of rope coiled. The
horse was in good condition, except for
sores on its back. Dunham had evidently
used his coat for saddle and the rope for
stirrup. The horse otherwise shows no
signs of the hard trip.
Howard NJ. Burlington, who hsd used
the horse at one time, identified the nj
NAL as being the one that Dunham rode.
Dunham is evidently hemmed in. There
are only two ways to escape. He might
| go to Livermore by going through San lsa-
bel, thence through the San Antonio VAL
ley, thence southeast through Red Greek
and Arroyo Bayou and come out about
six miles south OF Livermore. Then,
again. he might go over Pine Ridge south
TO Madrone and come out pack of the Gil
roy Hot Springs. In that case he might
catch train in the vicinity of Gilroy and
make his way south.
Sheriff Lyndon's posse here to-nightcon-
sists of Ed Haley, Jim Edwards, Harry
McCIintock, Parker, Lord, Al Hanks and
Sheriff Ballou with his bloodhounds. To
the south Constables Coschipa, Cottle and
Reynolds are guarding the passes. A
posse is working from Pleasanton toward
Mount Hamilton.
Sheriff Lyndon said tonight that he was
convinced that Dunham was in the vicin-
ity and that he had deserted his horse only
as last resort. He feels certain that Dun
ham is hiding in some of the gulches.
He says that Dunham evidently entered
this part of the valley by coming through
Evergreen and Halls valleys, and he be-
heves it is only question of day or two
before he is captured.
In the morning Lyndon will divide his
force into three or four parties, one of
which will. go through Indian Gulch, and
enter an adjoining gulch. Sheriff Ballou
and his bloodhounds will go to the foot of
Mount Hamilton in the hope of securing
some trace of the murderer. Lyndon win
keep his men in the field until Dunham is
| J. = hok fIar
has left this part of the country, and he
will follow his trail to wherever it may
lead.
Detective Frost and Samuel Vane ar
rived here this evening. They left San
Jose this morning and returned to
: Madrone, whence they took saddle horses
and went through the McDermott ranch
to Backwood Greek and then to Morrow
ranch, returning to Smiths Greek. They
: report the ranchers in that vicinity on the
lookout for Dunham-
= District Attorney Herington and Juan
Edison arrived here at o'clock tonight.
, Herington started from San Jose yester-
day with Deputy Sheriff Robert Anderson
and went out through Almaden to Yuba
Greek. Thence they drove TO Madrons.
They also report armed men searching in
every direction for the murderer. From
J Madrone they went through San Felipe to
Pacheco Pass. Heringion says that Pa
r checo Pass is well filled with heavily
armed vaqueros and cattlemen.
Sheriff Holbrook of San Benito County
! is one of the most determined of the man
hunters.
Heringron and Edison left here at IL
/ o'clock tonight, going up the trail to the
summit. They will remain at Mount
: Hamilton all night.
The Sheriff believes that when he starts
r in the morning he will have enough men
: to guard every avenue of escape. At $50
i O'Clock John Clayton, Consoman, Dittos,
Sweigert and Plummer, all armed with
| Winchester arrived here and reported
