Into Service. j
Tracy and Merrill yesterday appeared
at two farmhouses, about eight miles
from Vancouver, and asked for some
thing to eat. They re accommodated
at only one. place. The oSlcera at Van
couver were Informed in a short tlxno
of the visits of the escapes, and again
eet out to capture them. The two men
on horseback. "Wednesday, -who- were be
lieved to be the conlcU prove, to have
been miners bound for their clalma.
Late, last night two messengers arrived
from the seen -where the members of
the posse are now at -work, and brtns
the news that the bloodhounds did not
take the ceit -Rell. and that nothing
definite has been accomplished.
-
VANCOUVER, "Wash., June 19. (Special
correspondence.) Tracy's and Merrill's
stomachs may yet cause their undoing.
The notorious outlaws went this, mornins.
shortly after 9 o'clock to the Targerson
ranch, In the Silmon Creek country, two
miles north of the Tenney Sehoolhouse
and eight miles from Vancouver, to get
a breakfast of flour and bacon, but as
4he family supply of these articles was
"already too low, the convicts were turned
down. Nothing daunted, however, they
Slurried on to tho next ranch, where they
ate breakfast. In which strawberries and
cream formed the principal feature, and
one of, the men paid $1 to the woman of
the house. This done, Tracy and Mer
rill disappeared In the brush near by.
Sheriff Marsh, deputies and bloodhounds
are again chasing the outlaws.
Boy Gives tlfe Alarm.
"Up to 11 o'clock this morning, Vancou
ver people had given up the chase and
the Idei that Tracy and Merrill might
yet be captured around La Center. Ev
erybody had a wearied and disgusted air
when one happened to ask: "Well, have
they caught them yet?" But excitement
grew and new life was felt In the mo
mentous topic when Reuben Targerson,
20 years old, rode Into town on his bicy
cle and announced: "Tracy and Merrill
were at our place this morning, wanting
something to eat." He was hurried be
fore Sheriff Marsh, and diligently exam
ined and cross-examined to see if some
mistake hid not been made In the Iden
tity of the visitors at his father's place,
but the boy stuck to his story.
Story of Youth.
"I was working near my father's barn
when I saw two men walking across our
field from the direction of the woods,"
said Reuben Targerson. "When they were
about 20 feet from me, I said, 'Hello and
they returned the salutation. They then
asked for flour and bacon, and I aid 1
would sea my father, and went to the
house for that purpose. They followed
me, and told my father what they want
ed, saying: 'We have plenty of money to
pay for what you let us have. Father re
plied that our provisions were very low,
and that we were going to town today to
replenish our stock. Father asked them
if they were hunting for Merrill and Tra
cey, and one of them replied that they
were. The other one said: 'We noticed
some tracks near the "woods across the
field,' and with that remark the visitors
departed, entering the woods at the place
from which they came."
Convict TIrecl and Worn.
The boy stated that he recognized the
convicts from tho pictures of them pub
lished in The Oregonlan, and that while
they were talking to his father, he ob
served them closely. When asked, in re
gard to the dress and condition of the.
visitors, the boy replied that they looked
tired and worn, and one of them, the
one he took to be Tracy, had several
scratches on his forehead. He said one
stranger wore a pair of Jean trousers, a
blue woolen shirt, and a knit cap. The
other wore 6trlped trousers, a blue coat
and a campaign hat. Both carried Win
chester rifles, which looked almost new.
The boy did not know whether they had
revolvers, but said they might have had
them in their back pockets, although he
did not see them.
Posse Again. Starts Oat.
Sheriff Marsh, on receiving the above
report from young Targerson, was satis
fled that the men seen were none, other
than the much-sought Merrill and Tracy,
and immediately set about making prepa
rations to renew the hunt
Guard Careon and posseTwho have been
awaiting developments at Woodland, were
notified by telephone, and Marsh's posse
immediately set out for the new hunting
ground. The party consisted of: Sheriff
Totten of Skamania, Bert Blesecker, Lu
ther Davidson, Guard Ferrell and Consta
bleTomllnson, and a number of others,
the most determined manhunters that
liave yet followed the trail. The posse!
left here at 1:30 o'clock thl3 afternoon
with the intention of meeting the Wood
land party at Targerson'o-place.
Horsemen Not Escapes.
The horsemen whom the posse iollowed
so diligently esterday proved to be two
miners, pn the way to the mining district
in the north end of Clark County. One
-wore a cap, and one a hat, and both car
ried rifles. John Anderson, who lives on
the Pioneer road, reported that they had
passed his place, and that he knew both
of them, one being an elderly man. The
riders undoubtedly had a narrow escape,
and if the posse had overtaken them
they probably would have been killed.
Two men wearing a hat and a cap had
better travel separately In these times, as
long as the convicts are at liberty In this
section. Now that the Identity of tne
Rlcneer road horsemen has been deter
mined. It is conceded that the chase after
the two mysterious men wno were shot
at by the militia boys near La Center
Tuesday night was a wild-goose one.
Sheriff Totten, of Skamania County, re
turned this evening quite 111, and it Is
pot probable that he will be In the chase
tomorrow.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON jjVV 8' V ""fll COMPETE fOR
COMMENCEMENT DAY VtV'V-Z m' FAILING AND BEEKMAN
ORATORS ' - Xh-s'V I PRIZES
EUGENU, Or., June 19. The exercises of the 2th annual commencement of the University Of Oregon were held this morning befere
a larg audience In Vlllard 1111, The Interest of the day centered In the oratorical contest for-the Palling- and Bsekman prizes of $150
and 1100. respectively, and the announcement that the Judges had awarded first prize to, iflss Elizabeth Logan, and second prize to J.
Arthur G amber, brought forth great applause. The orations vera exceptionally good as to rhetorical excellence and deliver), and alto
gether the exercises of the morning were most successful. The musical programme was of a high order. The violin solo "Faust Fan
tasle Sarosote" (Gounod), by Mrs. Susie Fennell Pines, was tho best thing of Its kind heard here. for year. The baritone .solo by Pro
fessor L M. Glen called forth a most gratifying cneore On the platform were seated the. graduates, members of the faculty and board ox
regents. The graduates were the accustomed caps and gowns, and the decorations of the day were most beautiful. The Judges for thw ora
torical contest were Miss Jennie B Beattle, &$, of Pendleton; Rev. Dr J. F. Ferd, of Eugene, and Dr. O. P. S. riummer, of Portland.
2r. Strong, in giving his charge to the graduating class, said that during his three years as president of the University of Oregon he
had endeavored to set example of moral. clU, educational and university Ideals, which he hoped would hear fruit In the years to come.
He admonished the joung people Just entering tho field of active Hfe to strive for high Ideal, end tp encourage others In the same effort.
"Let progress be your watehwrd," eald he, "for satisfaction with present conditions will mean retrogression."
this afternoon granted a full pardon to
Frank Ingram, a life prisoner from Linn
County, as a reward for his bravery in
saving the life of Guard Girard in tho
recent penitenairy outbreak. Ingram,
who suffered the loss of a limb in con
sequence of his brave act, will not be In
formed of tho commutation of his sen
tence and restoration to citizenship until
tomorrov. morning, and then the news
will be carefully delivered to him, since
Jt is believed the sudden announcement
of the welcome news mtght aggravate hl3
weakened condition. . While the pardon
dates from today, Ingram will probably
not be removed' from the ponitentlary un
til he has entirely recovered from the
operation necessary from his wound,
which will not b many days. Ingram
has never discussed with the prison offi
cials his plans for the future, since ho
has never had an Intimation of the re
ward that awaltedhlm.
Frank S. Ingram "is a single man, farm
er by occupation, and Is now 43 years old.
He was sentenced for life, having been
convicted of murder In the second degree,
and was received at the penitentiary
March 22, 1892, Since his Incarceration
he has worked in the shops, and has
r learned the blacksmith trade. A fine
specimen Of his handiwork may be seen In
Governor -Geer's office. It Is a miniature
anvil, and Is used for a paperweight.
Speaking of Ingram's record a3 a pris
oner. Superintendent Lee said:
"He has been a model prisoner Indus
trious, attentive and diligent. Many of
his Linn County acquaintances have been
calling on him regularly, and somebody
volunteered to aid him in getting a par
don. Quite a strong effort was made In
his behalf, but part of his relatives were
against him, and rendered tho work in his
behalf very difficult. Ingram has always
claimed that It was to save his own life J
that he took that of his brother."
The act that won Ingram's pardon was
the saving of tho life of Guard Girard at
the risk of losing his own, when Tracy
and Merrill escaped from the penitentiary
After murdering Shop Guard Forrcll, tho
convicts started after Girard. They were
chasing him down a narrow corridor In
the foundry building and closing In on
him rapidly. Just as they had taken aim
to kill Girard, Ingram, who was standing
near the corridor. Intercepted Tracy, the
foremost pf the two, and grabbed his
rifle, at the same time receiving a bullet
from Merrill's gun. that lodged in his
(Ingram's) knee and necessitated ampu
tation. By this time Girard had reached
a place of safety, and the convicts went
to the penitentiary enclosure, killed two
guards and made their escape.
DID TRACY GET ARMS THIS WAY!
Report That Ho Wrote Letter to SIs
tcr In Invisible Ink.
A futrmr Ic rnrrnt In th dtv fhflt?
David Merrill, about six months ago.
wrote a letter partly In Invisible ink to
his half-sister, in this city, asking her to
give money to one Harry Wright, and
thai the latter would purchase rifles and
ammunition, which he would see were
secretly taken to a secure place, meaning
the Salem Penitentiary. Wright was dis
charged from prison last May, and It
was-stated thit tho person who received
u.!s letter gave it to Attorney R. R. Gilt
ner, who sent a copy to the authorities.
An Oregonlan repoitor saw Mr. Giltner
last night, but ho refused to say whether
be had received such? a letter, and stated
that the matter did not emanate from
him.

beginning
an
.proprlatc localities along the- streets. . In
view of the fact that there will be two
companies to bid for the Job of lighting
the city, a lively time Is anticipated. A.
B. Frame of Portland. Is in the. field, but
before he can furnish light he must first
complete his electric light plant. The old
electric light company, which is now con
trolled, by J, J. Henry, of Denver, who
recently purchased all the stock of the
local stockholders, wjll put Jn a bid. Mr.
Henry says? ho is going to spend a great
many thousand dollars Imprpvlng. his plant
and then he will be In position to meet all
opposition. Both corporations propose to
run their plants tv 1th water power. There
is plenty of power going to waste along
the mountain streams In this vicinity, but
It will coat a great deal of money to de
velop the water power. Some of the con
servative citizens are fearful that with two
rival corporations In the field, where there
is only room for one, they will cut
each other's throats and tha city will be
In darkness, as It has been for the past
year.
