A Skeleton Found In Lower California Be-
Iieved to Be That Of the Criminal.
The Manager Of Mining Company
on the Peninsula Identities the
Remains Of q Man Whom he
Had Sheltered Which Answers
the Description of the Much
Hunted Fugitive.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 12.-An even
ing paper is authority for the statement
that the mystery which for the past
two years has surrounded the disap-
pearance of James C. Durham, the San
Jose murderer, has, apparently, been
cleared away by the discovery OF
skeleton in Lower California, fifteen
miles from the eastern coast OF the
Gulf of California, at spot midway
between the ranch of Jose Murillo ana
the coast The skeleton TALES minute
ly with the description Of the long
sought-for criminal
The details of the finding of the skele-
ton, the paper says, are told by }. "A.
Altamirano, Jr, general manager OF
the San Juan Mining Company, whose
mines are at Los Flores.
Mr. Altamirano says that six weeks
ago he went to the Los Flores mines,
and later he went to the San LUIS
rancho, seventy miles northeast, Tor
the purpose of buying produce. The
ranch is owned by Jose Murillo, we'll
and favorably known throughout that
section Murillo said that in July, 1891.
q stranger, tallying exactly with the
description of Durham, sought shelter
at the ranch. He was dressed IN a
much worn Prince Albert suit. In ap-
pearance he seemed to be 30 years old,
had brownish hair brown eyes, stood
about five feet nine inches in hight,
wore a full reddish brown beard and
had a profusion of broWnish hair. His
face was concealed from close obserVa-
ton by a SLOUGH hat. He carried no
weapons, but had a small wicker-cov-
cred demijohn, which was used for car
rying water.
One popularity Murillo observed was
that a wide space existed between the
two upper front teeth of the stranger.
When rested he departed. Two months
later, while making a trip to the coast,
Murillo came across the remains of
human skeleton, which he identified as
those of the stranger by the finding
Of the demijohn. The head was in a
good state of preservation, and showed
the two wide-apart teeth in the upper
jaw.
Murillo received from the Guaymas
officials a description CT Durham, and
believes the stranger he housed was
the San Jose murderer.

TO RECoUP THEMSELVES
Saloon Keepers to Run Things Their
Own Way

SAN BERNARDINO, July 20.--Realizing
that there was an election to take place this
fall and another, the city election, in the
spring. the saloon men have taken the OPP
portunity to demand wide open" sched-
ule all night and Sundays in place OF the
closing at midnight and on Sundays, as at
present. The move was champicned py
Judge Rolfe, and as 1t had been kept secret
there was no one to oppose it,and was ABOUT
to pass when an inquisitive person ap-
reared He asked how much good order
prevailed when the saloons formerly kept
open house on Sundays, suggesting thai
at that time, ten years ago, murder or two
on Sunday was quite common and fights
plentiful. He maintained that the closing
of the saloons on Sunday was done In self
defense by the people, on account OF the
lawlessness that prevailed when the sa-
looms were run wide open" The saloon
men promised that If the board would re-
peal the closing ordinance they would keep
the front doors closed, as at present, but
would do all their trade on Sunday through
enlarged side doors. They claimed the
war tax on beer made 1t necessary to go out
of business have their present license re-
duced or run wide open on Sunday, the re-
ceipts on the latter day and after midnight
to a. m. to be their contribution towards
supporting the government. The board
deprecated undue haste" owing to the
slight opposition raised, and concluded not
to pass the repeal of the closing ordinance
until the next meeting. This move knocks
the spots out of political parties at the
next city election, and will renew the des-
perate struggle Of Sunday VS.. mo Sum
day" of three years ago.
