on 'their track, imot lu r sheriff in

from Portland as reinforcements.
As it was in the beginning, it is
now; they will either bo captured
or killed, 01 make their escape.
Merrill is now on t round with
which be is thoroughly familial,
having been born in Clark County
and brought up in Cowlitz, and is
thus better situated than wli.de in
Oregon, The country is much the
siime, formed of lov. -lying bills,
grateful were they lo lhe:r new-
lound Irieii.k for asking them
ashore lhat when the latter called
for food it was cheerfully supplied.
'flu men with guns ate, and re
quvsted Burlingame- and Sunder
land to row them across the river.
It was impossible to get from' the
slough to the river in the loat, so
the new arrivals suggested that
another boat be found on the river
-bore, and that Burlingame and
Sunderland should find it, mean
while carrying about 80 pounds of
amniuniton which the visitors had
with them in sacks. The sugges
tion seemed reasonable, and was
adopted without argument. W. V.
Paddock, a young man of the Sun-derlanJ-burlingame
party, was in
vited along by the footpads, and
accented the invatition.
Apparently undisturbed by the
presence in their immediate viein
ity of a new army of pursuers.
Tracy and Jlerrill today huijl up
another farmer for the necessities
of life, towit: clot hes and provisions,
nt, shot, and when it Irtcan.e'
known that the convicts wese bead-"
iiig north alter leaving
place, Morris and Seal went to the'
woods near middle bridge 011 Sal-"
riion Creek and remained in the
vicinity a day, waiting fur Trac'
and Merrill to venture from the'
tin.ber. Early in the afternoon'
the posse, composed of Deuply
Sheriff Skipton, Walter Lyon,.
Deuply Sheriff Wagner, Guard'
Ferrell mid two or three Salem1
guards, came v along the woods'
looking for the convicts, and weary.
sWidcnlv someone in the Salem'
party saw two men, who afterward
turned out to be Morris and Seal.,
with guns in their bands, sitting-'
on a 1ol in the woods about 500'
iyardjaway, An idea got into the'
minds of the Salem people tiial tne
two men sealed so quietly under a
taee were really Tracy and Merrill,. '
and the firin-z began. Each ot tne
Salem guards fired one shot, and a
bullet fired by Deputy Sberin oaip
ton, as alleged by the others, took
effect in Morris' leg. Terrified att
tbevollev from the Winchesters,.
both Morris and Seal held up their'
hands. Seal waving a hankercbiei;..
and then the truth flashed on the 1
,ifl,' minds. They burned 1
over to Morris and found that he
was bleeding and was seriously
.minded. He was placed in a
buggy and "rapidly, but: carefully.,
driven lo St Joseph's Hospital,.
Vancouver, where bis wound was
dressed by Dr. Ebert and Dr. Gil-"
christ, of the United States-army.-It
was stated that the bone in the'
leg was badlv shtte.ed,- and thatt
the bullet had passed through the
the leg. It is feared that amputation
will have to be resorted to, in the
hope of saving the patients life.
