reached the fence. One look was
enough, for he had seen Ramon be-

added that the coroners jury, which
rendered verdict on the death of
Ramon, passed a vote of thanks to Ri

An outlaw with longer and more
exciting career than Ramon was Fe-
ilpe Hernandez, who escaped the gal
lows by killing his jailer and eiuded
pursuit for several years until he was
nnally killed in brawl at a placer
camp In the northern part of the
state The first crime which brought
MIN into prominence and placed price
on his head was the murder Of John
Bee, crime that is frequently spoken
OF to this day by old residents OF
San Jose.
About o'clock on the morning OF
July 80. 1850, there was only one house
awake in San Jose, and that was awake
TO festive purpose. Streams of light
poured out from it's windows and open
doors; the tinkle of guitars, the sound
or singing voices and the rhythm of
dancing feet flowed out into the still,
warm night.
Within, Henry Bee, owner of the
rancho, was celebrating the twenty
nrst birthday of his only son. John. All

was none other than Ramon whom

now the ferocious monster might be

He scarcely heard Ricardo as the
Spaniard told the sheriff of his sight OF
the man, and as the party spurred
their horses toward the hills Fielding
kept his horse we'll in the lead. not
daring to think of what might have
happened. When he reached the path
that led to his own house he parted
company with the posse, which rode
on toward Ricardo's ranch to beat the
brush for the outlaw.
1t was hot spring afternoon. and
the valley lay spread out for miles, a
succession of hills and forests and
golden fields, with the dull blue of
the bay to the north and the deep pur-
pie of the Santa Cruz mountains on the
west The orchards in blossom lay like
great drifts of snow in the midst of
the rich foliage of the fields and for
ests. But Fielding saw nothing but
the hillside above him, and he spurred
his. horse until the beast fairly leaped
up the narrow trail.
Fifteen minutes of. riding brought
him to the. top OF a small KNOLL. from
which he' could see his. house. He ut
tered great exclamation of JOY, for
he could see his wife seated in the
doorway, apparently waiting for his
return. He gave his horse another
dig with the spurs.
He was now but few hundred yards
from the house. He could see clearly
the doorway and the figure of his wife
seated there. Strangely enough, as he
thought, she did not wave her hand or
rise to meet him. The sleeve of her
dress seemed to be badly torn. for he
could see strip Of 1t blowing In
the wind. She. must have torn it at
her work. Strange that she should
sit there immovably when she saw him
so near. Her face seemed very pale,
and her head was tilted to one side.
The next moment the sheriff's posse
in the valley below heard cry that
caused them to rein in their horses and
stare into each others faces. Ricardo
was the first to surmise the truth and
led the way toward the Wills cabin. =
They found Fielding lying insensible

the doorway the motionless figure of

the last and worst of his murders This
crime was the murder of Mrs Fielding
Wills on March 6, 1s54-one Of the most
unprovoked and fendish crimes in. the
official records of the state.
Fielding Wills and his wife lived in
cabin on the side of one of the hills
of the Mount Hamilton range, about
FIVE miles east of San Jose. The spot
was lonely one. their nearest neigh
Dor being a Spaniard named Ricardo
Higuera, who owned small ranch
still farther back in the mountains.
On the morning of March 6 Wills left
his wife at the cabin and rode down to
San Jose to purchase supplies During
the several years that he had lived
on the mountain side he had been un-
molested, and it was without anxiety
that he urged his horse down the foot
path which led to the main road.
On reaching the foot Of the trail he
was overtaken by Higuera, the rancher,
who was going to town on a similar
errand, and they rode together through
fields all afame with poppies and yell
low mustard, across the valley to san
Jose.
1 saw strange man on the hills last
night" said the Spaniard, after the first
greeting had been exchanged, ~and for
hours sat up watching what he did"
"on the hills last night?" echoed
Wills. Well, what was he doing?"
That, senior, is something that l do
not know. 1t was early evening when
l first saw him--on the top of the hill
on the other side of the arroyo from nv
house. 1t was bright moonlight, and I
could see him plainly as he stood right
against the stars-or at least, so it
seemed to me. After some time he
vanished, and 1 Thought no more of him
until about two hours afterward,
when"
You saw him again?"
Yes, senior, and that time he was
much nearer to the house 1 had gone
out to give my horse some water. when
up the hillside 1 heard something
stirring in the brush, and the next
minute I saw the man again. 1 called
at him and he gave no answer Iran
to the house for my gun, but when
came back with it he was gone. 1 did
not see him again, though 1 sat. up for
many hours, fearing that he would re-
turn"
Have you any idea who he was?"
No. senior, but 1 fear a man who
prowls around a house without coming
up to 1t, and 1 was half afraid to leave
the ranch today in charge OF Diego, for
the young fellow Is a worthless fool
and. worst of all, coward"
And Ricardo shrugged his shoulders
to indicate his contempt for Diego's
lack Of valorous propensities.
As the two ranchers rode down the
main street of San Jose they saw the
sheriff with 10 men or more, all armed
and mounted for a long ride.
Hello" called Wills, checking his
horse abruptly; whom are you going
out to captureY'

killed another man yesterday between

KNgHEN the lure OF wealth or dreams
M Of conquest and achievement
tempt men from the more sedate
and law abiding quarters of the world
TO cast their lot in new, unsettled coun-
tries there is a sudden reversion to
those primitive conditions which the
race by long stages of civilized de-
velOpment has outgrown With the
bonds Of conventional society severed
the adventurous spirits who have
braved the dangers Of the wilderness or
the ocean cast aside the old routine of
life in which they were born and the
code of ethics which the new COM
munity adopts is that of Wordsworth's s
Rob Roy"
That be should take who hath the power.
And he should keep who can.
Under such conditions the spirit of
order takes root but slowly. while the
tendency Of crime, which cannot be
stamped out entirely. even by the elab-
crate governmental machinery of civiIi-
zation, fiourishes unchecked save by
the occasional crude efforts by the
members OF the new community at or
ganized preservation of the peace.
Thus 1t was in the early days OF the
American occupation OF California. The
outlaws OF every country, the Mexican
bandelero, the Italian carbonari, the
Fenian from the bogs Of Munster, the
transported Englishman from the an
tipodes and the American highwayman,
all OF these and more sought California
as the pirates and bravos of Europe
first came to America in the days of De
Soto and Hudson.
Perhaps the most picturesque OF any
OF the criminal types that hocked to the
new land was the Mexican bandit, who,
IN spite OF his crimes, always preserved
IN AL his movements that air OF ro-
nance which seemed to be lacking in
the criminals OF other races. They
were a type by no means as persistent
as the American outlaw and they were
soon absorbed and eliminated by the
steady influx OF the Anglo-Saxon. but
during the ffties and early sixties the
bsndelero was still a striking figure in
the Hfe OF the new state.
In the Santa Clara valley, where nm
cid Spanish settlement and mission had
existed ever since 1888, the newspapers
and courthouse records OF the early
days contain stories OF many crimes
perpetratsd by outlaws OF Mexican ma
tionality. Many OF the episodes which
may be found IN these records might
be made the basis OF thrilling work
