Tracy in His Flight.
'Seattle, July 9. Convict Tracy added
another sensational escape to his list of
sxploits yesterday afternoon, when, sur
rounded in a faroi house by armed dep
uties to the number of a score, he gave
ris pursuers the slip and escaped from
their almost certain grasp. Not a shot
was fired during the encounter. Tracy's
exit from the house, into the brush ard
across the country having been accom
plished without giving his pursuers op
p3rtunity to use their weapons. Imme
diately after his departure bloedbounds
put on his trail, but Tracy sprink
ei red pepper in his tracks, and this the
Joga inhaled, and iO minutes was lost in
extricating the pepper from their nostrils.
"2: hey were again put on the trail, but
ooa lost it, and Tracy . in the darkness
dint soon followed, got another long start
af his pursuers.
Ilie seneational escape happened at

Swell's home. Deputies and blood
ihounds were taken out on the car line,
J3nd succeeding in surrounding the house
salmost before the inmates became aware
ef their presence.
'ITracy had appeared at the house about
csoon. He and Anderson, the man whom
'ITracy forced to embark with him in the
white boat at Madison island, had been
testing in the brush in the vicinity
fchs&Eghout the forenoon. After leaving
i IMadvson Island house, they had
creased back to the outskirts f Seattle,
arrocCng in the early hours of Sunday
jMOtaiq:. The interim up to Tuesday
rroas, -when they appeared at the Gerreli's
Eiossses. had been snent in the viciDitv of
JSe&tSe. a portion of the time with .four
iiuesr. who appeared to be friends of Tca-"C-yls.

"fDr-fccy had been at the farm house three
hours when, the first of the deputies
appeared, and was there an hour there
:rfift9r "before making his escape. Three
xzozien and several children were iu the
Si-acfe with him, and with these he was
diEtting and joking up to the very mo-.
Eftecttsat fae slipped out of the house
rsnd -sjed away. Two of the womeu had
faeas. picking ' blackberries across the
trailrea-2 track near the house, when Tra
'Cy accosled them. vHe told them that he
'was Tracy, and that he would not harm
them. He said that he would spend the j
ilay. -with them, and together they went
tio thfe house. Before entering, Trac3' took
iiijsjirisoiier, Anderson, into the brush
crear 'the liouse, and bound him securely.
ajersoa was still there when the depu
raiies arrived, and alter Tracy's flight he
was released. -
.Tracy's escape from the house was
quickly made. Two deputies had entered
the front door and asked if the convict
was there. At the moment, Tracy was in
the kitchen. His rifle was leveled at the
I 1 pad of the woman, and under his in
JStructio'.is, the deputies were told that he
swas not iu the house. The deputies re
tired, and a few minutes later, Tracy
leaped, .from the kicthen door, and with a
'few .quick steps entered the brush. He
ran down the hill to a stream, along its '1
banks for a short distance, then crossed
iit, jyjd hurried out of view past points
(Uat the deputies in their excitement in
itite mement 01 iiia convict appearance
;had deserted and left unguarded." It was
all over in the space of a few moments.
"The hounds were at once put on the trail,
but darkness soon set in, and with anoth
er night's start, pursuit again is as diffi
cult as though the newest adventure with
the resourceful fugitive had never hap
pened. Seattle, Wa ,h., July 8. Surrounded by

panion of Tracy, thr outlaw, related his
experiences eince t!ie night he leit Port
Trlicmi ill Tohusoi;'s white boat until
ii is rescue at the Gerrells' house at 0 o'
clock tonight. From his story it is evi
identthat Tracy has aciorrplicss who are
'lending him material assistance iu .his
-flight through the country. He ssi:; :
-"We left Madison on Saturday oihtat
l3 o'clock. We went to "West Seattle and
arrived at daylight. I pulled the boat.
Tracy held the gun over me all the way.
We landed south or the West Seattle ele
vator under a trestle, and went directly
to the woods. We spent Sunday in the
woods at West Seattle. When it got dark
we came across the bay in our boat, and
Handed a the sawmill at South Seattle.
we then started on the railroad track to
ward Black river. We turned off the
track to the left shortly before we reach
ed Bl act river. We crossed a large hay
field, and went into the woods. This was
Monday morning. When we got into
the timber, we cooked breakfast. We
then rested until afternoon. At 3 o'clock
we started through the timber toward
Renton.
"Just before we reached the railroad
bridge over Black river, we met four men,
and Tracy said 'Hello, Fred,' and jumped
down the bank to where , the men were
standing. Tracy tallied to the men for a
few minutes. After the talk, Tracy left
one of the men to watch me. He and
the three others, after blindfolding me,
went off and stayed about an hour. When
they returned, they brought a bottle of
whisky. Then we started out. Tracy
forced me to walk in front, and he follow
ed behind accompanied by the four men
we met on the bridge.
"We arrived in Renton about 11 o'
clock and we Iked up the railroad track
through the town one and a half miles
east of the brickyard. Here Tracy tied
me up and be, accompanied by the four
strange men, leftme. They returned at
daylight this morning and we went back
further into the brush and cooked break
fast. After breakfast Tracy told me he
would go away for awhile but would
come back in an hour. When he returned
he broughr a little boy from Gerrells'
house, and we walked down to the Ger
rells' rjlace together. We were m
the bouse about three hours when Tracy
took me out into the brush. At the riv-
bank, hesaid: 'Lie down.' After look
ing up and down the river, Tracy tied
me up and cautioned me to keep still. I
lay in this position until called to by
Mrs. Gerrells, when I hobbled out of the
brush into her backyard where this man,
indicating a newspaper man, untied
the leather straps which held my wrists.

Seattle, Wash., July 8 Tra
cy, whom May Baker, an 18-year-old
girl of Seattle, will - remember
for the lest of her life, is a gallant,
tender-hearted man, with a prodig
ious love for little children, a 'con
versationalist of brilliancy, a merry-hearted
"josher," a man with
decided respect for womanhood,
but above all, a man with an iron
nerve. Miss Baker, Mrs. W. J. Mc
Kinney. Mrs. Charles Gerrells and
the latter's little children v ere with
Tracy in the Gerrells' house for
more than four hours. The last
hour or so the house was sgrround
ed by armed guards, but Tracy nev
er showed the ltast apprehension.
Miss Baker complained of being
cooped in the house all. day. Tra
cy proposed they should dance to
pass away the time. '
The story of Tracy's visit to the
Gerrells home reads like one of Al
exander Dumas' romances. Noth
ing that Jesse James ever did in
the way of daring and audacitv
could equal the calmness of the now
famous outlaw while in the "house.
He treated the --women with the
greatest of courtesy. He entertain

child, Ada McKinney, whenshe be
came frightened. He carried water
for the dinner, chopped wood and
made.... himself " generally useful,
when the posse had formed an al
most complete circle around the
house. He carried on a mild flir
tation with Miss Baker, and the two
for several hours wrre engaged in
hn intellectual battle.

When two furtive, lightly-garbed
figures stole back to their respective
beds, the sky was shivering towards
the dawn. As Amherst crept into his
bed, the next man to him moved, and
muttered in his sleep. "We beseech
Thee to hear us, Good Lord." He was
the second tenor in the choir, and had
been practicing some new music the
day before at the squeaking har
monium. "Amen," said Davy, fervently, as he
drew the blanket over his had.
At the same moment the bugle rang
out ".Reveille," clear as a bell reson
ant as the last trump each note ris

echoed from cliff to cliff, from fort to
barracks, till the whole island rang
with the news that" another day was
born.
And the gunners of Tigne woke to
reluctant life, and grumbled them
selves into uniform and pipe-clayed

gladness in two rough, honest hearts,

DESCENT Or THE BARINGS.
History v of a Great Commercial Family
Extending Tlirougli Centuries.
Two centuries ago there lived at Bre
men, in Germany, a pastor of the Luth
eran church named Franz Baring, or
Baering. . In those days, says Spare
Moments,, the ministers of his order
might be . men of great learning, but
their circumstances were at the best
moderate. His son, John Baring, went
to England and established himself as a
clothmakcr near Exeter, in Devonshire.
From the ranks of the cloth drapers and
the linen drapers, quite as often as from
among the goldsmiths, the merchants
and bankers were then recruited. John
Baring's son, Francis, born in 1740, was
sent at an early age to learn the "art,
trade and mystery" of a merchant, and
before he died he made himself, by con
sent, the first merchant in the world.
He was a director in the Honorable
East Indian Company, then one of the
highest rewards to which a merchant
might hope to attain; for a time he was
the great company's chairman;, for
twenty-two years he sat in parliament,
then a far more exclusive body than it
has' become under the extended suf
frage; in 1793 he was made a baronet;
in 1S10 he died. But his first title to
honsr is that he founded the house of
Barings. His sons were the first Baring
brothers. .
