" : HORSE TRACY RODE And Guns He Used Claim to Have Them in Boston in Theatrical Company. The Tracy and Merrill show has reached Boston, and in the repro duction, , the penitent 1 a r y at Salem, and other Oregon scenes incident to the escape come : in : for a lot of free advertising. The play is-produced at the Grand Opera House,' and in spite of the fact that the smart set taboos 1 it, each performance-is Li attended by great crowds. An advertisement of the play in the Boston Herald is as follows:, i. , - :- . : 1 - "Commencing - tomorrow , night, the one sensational success of the season,- Tracvi the Outlaw. -.; Percy Williamsvbig scenic ' porduction of the intense comedy y melodrama, founded ondthe. life, - adventnrous career and supposedrdeath : of .the noted .Oregon outlaw..

In the third act the , two : famous - -.blood? hounds used in tracking Tracy, will be introduced and . used to illustrate the way that the noted fugitive" was hunted. A number of genuine attested souvenirs of Tracy are own ed by ; Mr -Williams and will be on exhibition, during the . engager ment."., W . -" A preliminary write-up of j;the play also in the Herald, is as follows: .. ; 1 "'it Tracy," the outlaw ! is " really fdead, if it was jreally his-body that was found in "the no w. famous- wheat field in the state of Washington it will be bard to convince people of the fact after they nave witnessed a performance, of "Tracy, tbe Out law," which will hold the boards at the Grand : Opera : House this week." " 'Manager Williams ' with characteristic energy, bas hot spar ed any expense in fitting 1 up the production'or engaging a strong company. - The scenery has been painted especially by P. Dodd Ack erman from photographs of actual scenes wherein the famous outlaw moved during his great chase across two states, and many things used by Tracy will be used on the stage. This is a feature of the performance. A horse, one that was stolen and ridden by Tracy, has been pur chased by Mr Williams from a Western trader, and will be used by the mimic Tracy in one of the most exciting scenes in the play. " Also the strap that bound the wounded man's leg when he made his last stand in the wheat field, and two guns discarded by -Tracy r when he forced the farmer to buy him new ones, will, also be used. The play is full of exciting incidents. There is a hold up of an express train and the blowing .opeit' of a Wells-Fargo safe in the car, and an exact picture of the interior of the Salem peni tentiary and the escape of the out law, and last of all, a perfect pro duction of ithe .-very , spot ,in the wheat field where, Tracy made Ms stand, and h'e long chase .was end ed. Asnovel duel ,with sledge ham mers something , never j before ; at tempted on any stage will add zest to the, .performance .To those who suppose that Tracy really .com? miited suicide there is said: ;to be a surprise -in, stpre and it comebefore the final curtain." - ' : . - t losingVsheef Mortality is Greater than UsualT-Some - ; vifthe Causes.
