MURDERER DUNHAM.

ing IA party of twenty-five men were
beating the brush at Indian Gulcf,
where Dunham was last seen ana Wnere
it was thought he might have su1cldeo
shortly after his horse was found ana
at the time when the pistol shot was
heard The search was so thorough
to-day that there was no possibility on
Dunham, dead or alive, escaping notice
if he is in Indian Gulch- Many oftlcefs
havys returned, and the Sheriff is com
ing home Tonight unless there are more
| DEVELOPMENTS The officers who have
returned think that the fugitive es-
capped over the mountains.
Tonight a meeting of citizens re-
spending to an invitation from com
mittee of safety is being held at the
Courthouse behind closed doors-to all
not having invitations-to take what
measures may seem to them fit under
the circumstances. The circumstances
provoking the call is of course the fall
ure of the Sheriff to capture this man.
Neither the Sheriff, who returned TO-
night, nor any of his deputies received
an invitation, nor were they present.
This, of course, looked like direct blow
at Lyndon, and a protest against ms
management of the case. Under SheT1H
Benson made some protest against the
action of the committee, and thereupon
an invitation was sent to Lyndon and
himself after the meeting had been or
ganized, but they refused to attend.
There were about 100 of San Jose's
leading citizens in attendance. 1t was
determined as the result of the meet
ing that reward of $4,000 be offered
for the body of the murderer, and that a
mass meeting be called to be held on the
steps of the Courthouse tomorrow
evening. A large sum was subscribed
by those present, and committees were
appointed to canvass every ward of the
city for subscriptions tomorrow. There
was talk also of urging the Sheriff to
call for 900 volunteers to guard the
mountain passes and sweep the sur
rounding country. This, no doubt, will
take form at the mass meeting to-
morrow night.
The people of the city feel a deep
chagrin and impatience that the mur-
derer OF a whole family should have
ridden away from his awful work out
of the country to safety-a man with a
bareback horse mad no provisions. The
body is an exact index to the temper of
the people. The offer does not say
1.-The arrest of the murderer" 1t calls
for his body. And this from gather
ing of the representative citizens under
an unsigned call from "A Committee of
Safety"
In the meantime the Sheriff had re-
ceived new intelligence of a most in
teresting character, and was already
preparing to go back whence he had
come. Even before the meeting was
over the Sheriff and his posse had
mounted their horses and ridden out of
town toward the mountains. The in
formation was definite, and to the effect
that the murderer had been seen last
Friday at the Coe ranch, ten miles
south of Indian Gulch. On the follow
ing night he made his appearance at
the ranch Of James McIlrath, a short
distance from the Highland school
house.
The information concerning Dun
hams movements was brought to Sam
Jose by Wood Wadams. who is en-
rloyed on the Newell ranch. in San
Felipe Valley. The mail reaches the
mountain ranches only semi-occasiDn-
ally from Evergreen and Madrone. 1t
is usually brought out by one of the
ranchers of the neighborhood who may
| chance to go to the Postoffice.
