T.y.. ... ..
The whereabouts of Tracy, the e
'caped convict. Is again a mjstery. He
was not seen all day yesterday, and tho
posse has practically given up the chasj
once more. It Is now believed that In
wild flight Tuesday night Tracy stolo
a herse for the double purpose of mak
ing tlmo and throwing the bloodhounds
oft his track. That a horse was stolen
la certain. It Is the general opinion of
the offleers that the fugitive's next ap
pearance will be at Bothell, the rcene
of ills flrst battle with a posse. As he
Is without provisions, the outlaw Is ex
pected to ehow up at once.
SEATTLE. July 9. Tracy, the outlaw,
has, to all Intents and purposes, disap
peared from the face of the earth. All.
that the authorities can do is to wait un
til he enters another home or holds some
one up. Humors of the wildest descrip
tion concerning the convict's whereabouts
are flying around on all sides. Each coup
the notorious murderer has made since his
arrival In King County has been more
spectacular than the last, and It Is no ex
aggeration to say that the public expects
his next exploit to surpass even his cal
c!um:TlgHl p'Srlforma'nce at the Gerrells
home near Kenton.
Trncy Xot Seen All Day.
"Where the convict has fled Is a question
that is troubling the Sheriff's office and
-the posse. "While reports today came thick
and fast to the city. It Is a fact that
Tracy, so far as is known, has not been
seen since his flight from the vicinity of
Ronton. Many believe that ho Is headed
for Bothell, the town through which he
has twice unsuccessfully tried to pass
since his arrival from Thurston County.
That he has some objective point north
east of the village seems to be evidenced
by his persistence In fleeing in that direc
tion. May Have Been Tracy.
A man answering the descripUon of
Tracy called at the house of C. B. HIH
man, near Kenwood Station, tonight at 8
o'clock, and said he wanted to use the
telephone. Mrs. HUlman was sitting near
the telephone, In the kitchen, and the
man pushed her to one side and took
down the receiver. Mrs. Hlllman says he
did not call for a number. She went out
side to see about her 2-year-old baby, and
the man followed her out and wont down
the street-car track toward Kenwood Sta
tion. "When he came Into the house he
was carrying a gun by the barrel, with
the stock down, but when he left he was
carrying the gun under his arm, with tfle
muzzle pointed to the ground.
Dogs Take the Scent.
The Sheriff's ofllec was notified and a
posee. accompanied by Guard Carson with
the bloodhounds, started out to HUIman's
house at once. The dpgs caught tho scent
In the kitchen, and worked carefully for
about 50 yard, toward Kenwood Station,
when they began to bay, and dashed off
toward the lake. Five men accompanied
Guard Carson and the dogs; five men were
left to guard the Kilbourne residence,
which is vacant, and another squad was
sent on the street-car to Ballard to pa
trol between that point arid Meadow Point.
It is not probable that Tracy took refuge
In the vacant Kilbourne house, as the
dogs worked past the house and headed
Into the timber. The posse Is In charge
of Deputy Corcoran, and he absolutely
forbade a big crowd of armed men to fol
low the equad with the dogs. The Hlllman
place Is at the north end of Green Lake.
Where Is He Hendcd Forf
A number of deputies are afraid that
Tracy Is on his way up the Palmer cut-off
and la making for the Cascade Mountains.
It is not believed, however, that he can
"pass through Palmer without escaping ob
servation. If he once got Into the moun
tains he would not attract much atten
tion. The mountains are known, as "a
bad country." They are rough and broken.
The greater part Is practically unex
plored. The criminal would only have to
travel a short distance, once he reached
the rugged hills, until he would be almost
safe from pursuit It is doubtful, how
ever, if Tracy, with his evident love of
the spectacular, would care to baflle his
pursuers altogether. r
Tells Women Ills Real Name,
Public interest in the Ronton escapade
shows no sign of decreasing. In the ex
citement following Tracy's flight through
the woods, one important item was over
looked. He told Miss May Baker, at the
Gerrells home, that his real name was
Harry Sewegc, and that Tracy was hla
criminal nom-de-plume. Whether the
murderer was speaking the truth is a
matter for speculation. He told the three
women who wero his unwilling compan
ions many things which they are Inclined
to question. Tho conversation had been
In a light vein -when Miss Baker asked
him to tell her his real name, and many
believe that Tracy was speaking Jestingly
when he answered.
MOUNTED OX STOLEX HORSE.
Man Believed to Have Been Tracy
Seen on Way to Scnttle.
SEATTLE. Wash"., July 9. A significant
feature of the branded man's travel, seized
upon by those who believe he Is trying
to reach friends here, Is the supposed
method of escape from Renton, Tuesday
night. A man mounted on a stolen horse,
supposed to be Tracy, was seen at 9:30
o'clock Tuesday night a little less than
two miles out of Renton. He was pro
ceeding In the direction of Seattle.
This report, the only tangible bit of
working material furnished deputies in
Renton today, because of Us authentic
source, created considerable excitement
In the district for the greater part of the
day. The horse, bearing the man sup
posed to be the convict, was seen by Miss
Florence Williams, sister of City Attor
ney Sidney Williams, of Renton, and
Albert Sprague. Mr. Sprague and Miss
Williams were returning to Renton from
a drive out Into the country in a buggy.
Story of People In BukjO'-
The story of the encounter was told by
Miss Williams as follows:
"I had been watching the road ahead
for several minutes when I saw the out
lines of a white horse. The evening was
growing very dark, and I could not re
very plainly. Evidently the rider of the
horse saw our buggy at the same time we
looked at him, for he Immediately turned
the horse oft the road Into the brush and
hedge along the roadside. I thought this
act very suspicious. For that reason, I
watched with closer Interest. In the
shadow of a large fence and half con
cealed by brush, I saw the man disappear
over the side of the animal opposite us.
We were close upon him then.
"As soon as we drove by the horse, I
got a very good view of It, but could not
see the man anywhere. The animal waa
gray-coated, and of a little less than ordi
nary helglit! My suspicion of the man
and hla Intentions grew more when I had
seen the place where he had dismounted,
for it was alongside a tall fence. There
was no gate anywhere near the point,
had he Intended to enter the field anddls
mountcd for that reason."
Stolen Horse Xot Yet Found.
The horse seen by the young couple
riding In the buggy answers In every
way an animal stolen from the pasture
of John Mordich's farm some time Tues
day night. Mcrdlch's report of his loss
was current on the street shortly before
Miss Williams had told of the experience
the night before. Mordich is certain
the horso was stolen, because of there
having been no opening through which
the horso could have escaped from the
fencing about the field.
The general opinion iS'that should Tracy
have ridden vlhe horse up the road to-"
ward Seattle Tuesday night, he probably
hid the animal in the woods before mak
ing toward the lake, as it Is supposed he
did. In that way, Jie could have thrown
the hounds completely off the scent,
reached water without tnd greal fa
tigue and been ready for an opportunity
to approach Seattle from the east by way
of the Lake Washington shore. The
horse had not been found up to a late
hour tonight.
HOGS REFUSE TO TAKE SCEXT.
Posse Makes n Long Chnxc, bnt Gets
Xo Slprht of Outlaw.
RENTOX, July 9. Guard Carson, of
Walla Walla, and Walter Lyon, of Salem,
left here at 4 o'clock with the hound3, pro"
ceedlng to Burrows' boathouse, where
they expected the dogs would again take
up the scent, but the brutes refused to
work. The posse then took a course back
over the hill toward the pipe line, crossing
wherever possible all roads. They circled
around the pipe line, proceeding south to
ward Renton. Every empty cabin or house
was eurrounded and searched. This course
was followed until they reached the farm
house of George East, about two miles
from Renton. East would not answer tne
summons of the posse, and was compelled
to answer their queries at the point of a
rifle. He acted In an extremely suspicious
manner, but the posse concluded to Inves
tigate there no further. The search con
tinued along the pipe line until the county
road was struck, where It was learned
that a suspicious character had passed
along toward Seattle between 12 and 1
o'clock this morning. The posse turned
toward Seattle, but after proceeding sev
eral miles, turned back toward this place.
Tracy's Outfit Found.
At 7:30 A. M.. Deputy Sheriff Snyder
came In from the Gerrells home, where
he spent the night with seven armed men.
Half a mile north of the house, up tne
railroad track, they found the place where
Tracy had had the fire on Monday night,
and where he and Anderson had slept.
They found also the Valise taken from the
Johnson house, one big blue blanket, Iry
lng pan, some cold biscuits, a looking
glass, three pounds of sugar, a matcn
box, six pounds of flour, one pound ot
butter, a bar of soap, and some writing
paper, pen and Ink and postage stampa.
MERRILL XOW WITH TRACY.
Salem Man In Posse Believes Con
victs Are Together Agnln.
ORILLA. Wash., July 9. It Is now quite
certain that Merrill Is with Tracy. It is
believed he joined him last night in the
vicinity of Renton, and Is traveling with
him this morning. A man from the Salem
penitentiary Is authority for the state
ment. It has been learned that Anderson's
etory regarding the four men whom Tracy
met on Monday Is absolutely correct. Mer
rill U one of these four men.

SEATTLE, July 9. Sheriff Cudlhee has

suburbs, leaving only a sufficient number
for careful patrol, and tho search for
Tracy has been abandoned. It Is be
lieved that Cifdlhoe expects the convict.
If he reappears at all, to be in another
party of the county. The posse that

CHARLES GERRELLS.
' REXTOX. Wash.. July 0. It was Charles Gerrells, an 18-ycar-old-boy. of this
place, who made known th presence of Convict Harry Tracy, at his father's
houj?, two miles from here, yesterday. The fugitive gave the boy two watches
to go out and sell. Instead of doing the bidding of Tracy. Gerrells went direct to
the Sheriff's ofllce at Seattle and gave the alarm. Ke la the hero of the hour here.
They base their opinions, on the Renton
fiasco. Many incidents support this the
ory. Anderson's statement concerning
the murderer's four friends who met him
after he landed in Seattle' Is conclusive.
No doubt now remains that Tracy Is re
ceiving assistance. With this outside
help, Tracy's entrance to the Gerrefis
homo becomes Inexplalnable. He was not
hungry- Nothing that he did or secured
at the house could excuse his careless
ness. In fact, the only thing he did. ex
cept talk to the three women, was to
wash himself. He saw the train go past
with the armed deputies, but made "no
effort to escape, though he had then
even' opportunity. -" -,
An Act That Appears Q.neer.
Again, the fact that he sent a strange
boy downtown to sell tho watches and
buy revolvers looks queer. The mur
derer had his friends, who were then
somewhere near Renton. If he had real
ly desired the weapons, the safest way
to get them was from these friends. He
had parted with them only a few hours
before he met the boy. Miss Baker says
the outlaw really believed until almost
the time he left the house that the lad
would return. At least Tracy spoke to
this effect. The presence of heavily
armed guard3 around the house did not
seem to shake hl3 faith. In addition to
the watch e3, Tracy gave the young man
$9. every cent he had in his possession,
and when he took his departure the whole
matter, lad. money, watches and revolv
ers, seemed to have slipped from his
memory. '
His Long Stop In the House.
Tracy's long stop In the house cannot
be explained, unless by a stretch of the
Imagination It Is believed that he wished
to see the inside of a happy home again.
But this would rfot be sufficient reason
for his foolhardy recklessness. If Tracy
Is the keen judge of human nature his
past acts apparently prove him to be, he
must have known that he could have
chosen no surer way of notifying the
Sheriffs ofllce of his presence at Renton
than by sending the lad downtown.
Young Charles Gerrells a glance should
have told him, was the wrong ono to
choose. Although only IS years old, the
boy has much of the Independence and
assurance of a man In his general de
meanor. From whatever side Tracy's visit to the
Gerrells home Is viewed, It seems the fan
tasy of a disordered brain. It was on
neither reason nor necessity. Its only
explanation Is that the outlaw Is not In
his right mind; that the mental strain he
has undergone since his farewell to the
Salem people has proved too much for
even his Iron nerves, a'nd that he has
crossed the Invisible lino between sarflty
and Insanity.
Until thla last affair with the posse,
the murderer's movements seemed to be
the part of a brilliant campaign. His
escapades, however, have been growing
more spectacular; each one has surpassed
the last In a reckless disregard of all the
common laws of safety; his different
flights up to this time have brought him f
no return. He Is tto further advanced to
ward any object than he was when he
landed on the shore at Meadow Point.
ROUTES HE MAY HAVE TAKEX.
One Would Give Hint Clear Svreep to
Bothell or Meadow Point.
SEATTLE. July 9. When Tracy gave
the bloodhounds the slip Monday night,
he was In the vicinity of Burrows' boat
house, about half a mile this side of
Renton. He followed the track of the
Renton car-line a short distance, and
then went up the hill from the lake.
Today he is reported in different parts of
the city. According to reports received
by the Sheriff's ofllce, he ate breakfast at
Leschi Park. Later, a woman living
near Madrona Park telephoned to the
fllce that he was in that vicinity. In
neither case tvas the report correct.
If Tracy Is heading again for Meadow
Point or Bothell, It would be In keeping
with his previous record for him to walk
through the streets of Seattle. He may
have followed the lake shore on this side
from Renton to the northern suburbs,
.........
where .he would have a clean sweep for
Bothell" or Meadow Point. The convict,
however. If he went in this direction,
may have taken the east side of the lake.
To follow his path, he had simply to take
the old deserted line of the Northern Pa
cific Belt Line, which Is balla&ted, but
not easy for travel, as far north as
Mercer Slough. There the bridge has been
cut In the middle by unknown parties.
Often a plank Is stretched across the cut,
and if the board Is there now Tracy would
have had no obstruction In his course
from one end of the lake to the other.
In Outlaw's Favor.
If he desired, he could leave the belt
line where It crossed by the York wagon
road. This road would place him on
Squawk- Slough, a considerable distance
above Bothell. the place around which he
has lingered for so long. The surrounding
country on this course would be in the
outlaw's favor. It is well timbered.
No matter which way Tracy turned, he
would have to avoid armed men. Seattle
was patrolled all day today and tonight
by guards. M,en were stationed Jit the
gully on Madison street and the Madison
street bridge. Leschi and Madrona Parks
were closely watched, as were the ap
proaches of the northern suburbs. The ap
proaches from the south were also pa
trolled. Fartles of two and three were
stationed on the roads leading from the
vicinity of Renton to Seattle.- Others
watched the roads to the Palmer cut-off.
Six Bothell men lay in ambush on the
Snohomish road, and, several were placed
on the bridges and strategic points be
tween Bothell and Ravenna.
THREE SUSPECTS ARRESTED.
Men Believed to Have Aided Tracy In
Jail at Renton.
RENTON, July 9. The Marshal of this
place and a Deputy Sheriff this morning
captured three suspects at Renton. The
men have the appearance of hobos. It Is
believed that they are three of the four
men who met Tracy at the Black River
bridge the night before 'last, and walked,
through Renton in the convict's company.
At the town jail they gave their names as
Andy Nlelson, Tom. Madden and Pnil
Ritchie. The flrst two say they are log
gers, and the third says he is an iron
brldge-bullder. Their statements as to
their retent actions are somewhat con
flicting. They say they came to Seattle a
couple of days before the Fourth of July
and got on a spree. A diligent search is
being made for the fourth alleged accom
plice, who la believed to be hanging around
Renton.

MAYOR IS INDICTED
Charge'of Corruption Against
A. A. Ames, of Minneapolis.
IS ARRAIGNED ON TWO COUNTS
Accused of Receiving: Money for
"Protection" From Keepers of
Disorderly Houses Out
on Ball. rJ
MINNEAPOLIS. July 9. The grand
jury has returned Indictments charging
A. A. Ames. Mayor of the city; Fred W.
Ames, Superintendent of Police, and Jo
seph ("Roddy") Cohen with accepting
bribes. The charges are based on the al
leged collection of tribute from abandoned
women, in which it is charged that Cohen
acted for the Mayor and the Chief.
When Mayor Ames was arraigned in
court this afternoon on two indictments,
each charging that he received 515 for
"protection" on certain dates named from
the keeper of a house of Ill-repute, hla
attorney denounced the charges as infa
mous and trivial and demanded immediate
trial. He urged this further on the"
ground that It was for the public interest
that the charge against the chief execu
tive officer of the city should be settled
at once.
Judge Harrison said that the court was
no respecter of persons, and that the case
must take Its turn with the others. Ho
set the case for trial July 14, and fixed
the bail at 55000, which was promptly
furnished. Neither Chief Ames nor
Cohen were arraigned. The latter has not
been found, and is said to be out of tho
city.
The trial of Captain John FIchette, of
the police force, began today. He Is
charged with receiving 5200 for securing
Patrolman Long his appointment Qn tho
force.
CRUELTY TO FILIPINOS.
Lieutenant Edward A. Hickman to
Be Tried by Court-Martial.
MANILA. July 9. General Chaffee has
ordered Lieutenant Edward A. Hickman,
of the Tenth Cavalry, to Manila for trial
by court-martial on the charge of alleged
cruelty by natives of Tayabas Province.
The charges arose from the Gardener In
quiry. It Is asserted that Hickman ducked
two natives In a stream in order to obtain
Information. He Is further charged with
having ducked a third native, who died
from maltreatmenL The military officials
say that proof of the latter charge 13
doubtful. The court presided over by
General William H. Blsble, who Is t-ylne
Captain James A. Ryan, of the Fifteenth
Cavalry, on charges of unnecessary sever
ity to natives, will try Lieutenant Hick
man. The defense of the Ryan court-martial
closvd today. The arguments will be heard
Saturday. Tho defense offered much testi
mony and many documents to show that a
state of Insurrection existed at Jlminez,
Mindanao, and that Captain Ryan was
Justified In using force to obtain informa
tion, protect his command and pursue the
enemy. It was shown that the two na
tives who were "treated" communicated
with the enemy, giving Information re
garding supplies. Second Lieutenant
Charles Burnett, of the Fifteenth Cavalry,
and Surgeon-Major Peter Regan testified
that they took the same treatment ai
administered to the natives and did not
suffer therefrom.
