The announcement of tha discover

Tracks Found Wear Balnea.'.,
Yesterday afternoon two tarcks, m
dicattng freshness, were found leav
ing the railroad tracks one and
"half miles, east of Haines. A detail
of men was set to work; and followed
the trail to Wolfe creek last ntgnt.
This morning, still 'continuing ' wttn
unabated leal. Two men, unquestloh-
. ably the murderers of the Haines
"bar tender, slept at a barn one and
one half miles from Telocaset last
night and there divided company, one
heading probably toward La Grande
and tha other in the opposite direc
tion. Late this afternoon the consen
us of opinion is that the men nave
' separated and will strike th rau
Toad tracks near Union possibly and
to do so without menace.
Sheep Herder Saw Them.
A shetp herder saw two' men hur

end, they will be able to complete tn
chase and lead the posse on through
the mountains. ;
Sheriff Rand this 'morning order
ed headquarters transferred to Ifl
Grandei and several men are now at
Telocaset and North, Powder, reacy
to start to this city at a moment's no
tice and aid, if possible, local o'
clals who have been turned loose r
thls end of the chase.. Yesterday ev
ening and this morning it was con
ceded , that the men had struck roi
Ladd Canyon and would head in near
La Grande, but that theory Is partial
ly offset and though the Ladd Canyon
gap will he watched, special stress
will be laid on the wandering Willies
whomay happen along the tie route
to La Grande. Two men named E. U,
Ramsey' and C. Haynes were In La
Grande last night and . left again
early today tof the scene of the chase
near Wolf : creek. , They are so fam
iliar, they say, with the men Sougni.
that once they lay eyes on the fugi
tives they can definitely establish
their identity. , ;
One Print is Large.
The trail the posse followed yes
terday and this morning is well -de
fined. One footprint measures about
12 1-2 inches in length and was made
by a high heeled shoe.' and lare
nail heads protrude from the soles.
The companion's print is smaller,,
though his legs are longer for his
strides were the longer of the two.
With these characteristics, there was
little .difficulty In following the trail.
It led toward North Powder by a cir
cuitous route, dodging well back in
to the hills .and finally, reached Wolfe
reek by a hilly route. The men wen-
careful to follow brush as much as
possible. These facts bear out the
theory that the posse is on the right
trail for'' one of the murderers Is tall
and large and the other, Is short
shorter than the average' person.
Interest Focused Here
All morning saw La .jGrande "the
center of operations, though the work
was directed at long .range. George
Penington, the man who saw the
shooting has been started from Haines
toward La Grande to aid local officials
in making arrests of suspects, but
when he reached Noth Powder he J
was canea to a halt pending Turther
developments f t the point of the lost
trail. Sheriff Rand had also Started
toward La Grande, to personally over
see the effort to Intercept -the fugitives
once they emerge from the Jungle
by what Is the only exit from Wolfe
and Clover creek, which the men also
touched Ladd Canyon and the plan
was to patrol the Eastern and South
ern sections of the city bo that no
man could enter without suffering a
careful crutlny. Rand too was halted
by the announcement from the Telo-,
caset ranch. t , ......
