old Another hired man hau a.,1,n- panied Colonel MGnncey and Weus.
 Colonel MGlncey, Wells and .,, hired man left Campbell shortly after eleven o'clock and reached the ranch about midnight The team was left with the hired man to put up and Colonel McGlincey and Wells started for the house a few steps aw. M Glineey halted at the well and Wells entered first. He was met just inside the door and brained with an axe in the hands of the murderer.
 Then the fiend waited for his father in-law. The colonel. a man O. about sixty, but still fine specimen of stalwart manhood, was felled as he entered the house. The blow g,aneeo and outside the hired man heard a cry of agony and then an appeal for mercy. This was followed by a shot and silence. Overcome with fear lne hired man fled to the hay loft terror stricken. It was but moment until Dunham appeared outside. e.ring out through the door of the hay nov, the man could see Dunham in the moonlight, searching the yard Tor his seventh victim. Then he started for l bottom of the ladder leading to ll1 mow called loudly for the hired man to come down.
 I've got you and am going to kill | you,' Durham called out, but the hired man, with a pitchfork firmly grasped, sql 10 pesq 9ql ls SuHqmsn pools i ladder, prepared to fight for his me
 if the murderer should ascend. Then he heard steps and a moment later | the clatter of horses hoofs, and look ing out through the mow door into the l bright moonlight saw Dunham speed 1 ing like the wind in the direcuUla o the city. eight miles away.
 The hired man, still paralyzed with fear, waited some time before going to the nearest neighbor, quarter of
 a mile away and giving the alarm. The
 telephone was used and within half an hour a thousand men were guarding
 the roads awaiting the fleeing mur- Il derer. His boldiness was his saliva tion for the time. for heading stralgn, for the City of San Jose he rode right
 through its heart, and with shout of defiance headed for the moun.alns oi.
 the eastern side of the valley.
 At the M'Glincey home sickening sight was presented The members of
 the family had been slaughtered with the same axe which the murderer hao used to kill Colonel M'Glinces and
 Wells. In one room lay Mrs. M'Glin-
 eey, her daughter, Dunham's wife, in
 the midst of pools of their own clotted
 blood. The women were in their nlght robes. so had evidently prepared to
 retire In the same room, sleeping
 peacefully in it's cot, lay the Durham
 baby boy, undisturbed by the fearful
 crime committed by it's own father
 and which robbed the little one of its
 mother. In the kitchen lay Briscoe
 and the servant girl Minnie Secession,
 fully dressed, also brained With Ine axe.
 The road from San Jose to Mounl Hamilton is one of the most beautiful in the world. For five miles it goes
 straight to the cast. fcr a mile along Santa Clara street, lined on either l side for its first few squares with handsome business blocks and lignTeu by the celebrated electric tower, shed ding the radiance of twenty-four tuou
 sand candle power lights from height of 225 feet over all the valley. The ] road is thickly lined beyond the Dusl
 ness section with beautiful homes, crosses the Coyote creek or rIver a
 mile from the city's center, and then
 enters the beautiful stretch of vaIie> for six miles where it turns directly south along the foothills and becomes
 known as the Mount Hamilton roas
 Along this boulevard Durham roue,
 shouting his defiance at hs pursu1I. .,
 and firing his pistol in the air. He
 had half an hours start only, but he
 crossed the first range of hills with
 out being seen, entered the San An
 tonic valley and just at daylight met
 a party of three from whom he h. quired his way and rode on leisurely l That was the last ever seen oL James c. Durham, the sextupfe mur-
 derer. Within a few hours, a reward aggregating $14000 was offereu anu | hundreds of men were in the mount
 aims searching. The second day after
 he had disappeared in the wild can yons at the western slope of Mount
 Hamilton, shot was heard not Ner, far away by party of searcheto. anu in less than an hour the pony ridden
 by Dunham, leg weary, nearly staryeo, appeared on the main road leading to
 the summit Every recess in the mountains for miles around was
 searced but no trace of Durham or his remains was found However, thousands here who knew the man have always believed that he rrept in- to some hiding place and that the shot heard was one with which he ended his own life

The sister graduated, but the disgrace :- nally broke her hearr and she died within three years after her brothers fearful crime.
