THREE OTHER MEK LOOK ON FusltSve First Eats a Hearty Meil at Homo Near Ennmdaw-Convict Jf Takes Opposite Route to One Picked Out for Him by Poss4 Walla tho pow searching for Tracy,, the escaped Oregon convict, was acour lns the "Palmer, "Wash., country, firm In- tho belief that he- was In that' flec tion, tho -fusHU'o was golpg la another direction. It has just come to light that he appeared at a farmhouse -near Enumclaw, Wash., Sunday, eecured a meal, and Impressed a boy Into shaving him, while threo men stood by terror stricken. "Where the desperado Is now so ono knows. f ENUMCTjAW, July 15. "WoroT reached hero this evening 'that Tracy had dinner Sunday afternoon with Morris Garner on what is known as the Gannon farm, on Boisa Creek, three and a half miles .southeast of here. Garner's stpry Sios, up' to the present time, been kept quiet by lim, through .fear of the outlaw .who,; he says, -threatened him where leaving.. Garner says .that. nt fcr. cearrS. jojclock Sunday afternoon a roan Entered- 'the house without 'knocking, andanaoimced. himself as Tracyt saying: ' "Gentlemen, 1 am, Tracy, anflftwaflt something" to eatoulck." The Gamers, lather ana thr"ee s,oni, had just finished dinner, so they told him to sit up and help himself, which he pro ceeded to do, first ordering tho two eldest eons to go to one corner of the room, di-1 rectlyin front ofljlm, where ha could, keep fhe.m ..covered with his murderous rifle. At the tlmo of Tracy's entrance the -youngest boy was shaving, but after the convict announced himself he ceased the operation, and was unable to proceed, oven when told by Tracy to go ahead and finish his shaving. Tracy Slakes Boy Shave Him. After eating his dinner, Tracy said: "Young man, come here -and shave are" "Upon the young man demurring on the ground of not being an adept with the razor, Tracy said: "That's all Tight; I em not particular, and If I don't kick you need not," whereupon young Garner lath ered his .face and proceeded to remove his beard. They state he had -at least a two weeks' growth of beard, with which he was much pleased to part. Alter being shaved, Tracy helped himself to a pair of trousers that were hanging on the wall, putting them under his arm, and went out. This will materially change the theories of Tracy's pursuers, as it has been "be lieved all the time that he came to EnumJ claw from Palmer by working along the side of the mountains south of thel Northern Pacific Railroad, and was first seen by Clarence Burke Just east of the town. It seems, though, that he came down the line on the north side of the track until he came to or near the White Elver, when he "worked his way south along the river, crossed the track near the "White River bridge, and continued up the stream to the Garner home. The railroad company keeps a watchman at this bridge, -and he says he 'saw -a man come up on the grade and cross tho track shortly after the noon hour, who, he is ! satisfied, carried a gun, as he could see It glisten in the sunlight. Smoke From Fugitive's Campflre, This evening at 7:30 smoke was seen ascending from a small gully in the foot hills just east of here. As it' has rained here most of tho day, and at times very hard. It Is believed by a great many of the citizens that the criminal Is Btlll lurking 4n the Immediate vicinity. If his past actions are to be an index as to his future, it is more than likely to be his campflre, as it Is well situated on a slope commanding a good view of the main highway to the east, and also overlooks the town. Any one In this position could keep a good watch and be In no great dan ger of a surprise. Ixoked at through a good glass at 7:45 this evening, it seemed as if one could detect a rise and fall of the flames, as If 'theVfire" were "being re plenished v. Ithnew'uel, and at, one time one or tjyp watchers insisted that they 4 cpuld sea some one moving about. If this Is true, it is almost certain to be the criminal, as there Is nothing there to in vite a camp for any one but a person to keep shady. Search, at a Standstill. SEATTLE, Wash., July 15.

REGENTS MEET TODAY. ' ' State (Akrlcnltarnl 'College- AS&lrs Will Be Considered, SALEM, July 15,-Secretary of State FL X. Dunbar and Superintendent of Public Instruction J. H. Ackerman will go jo Corvallls tomorrow to attend the annual meeting of the Board of Regents of Ihoi Agricultural College, The meeting wil pa held for the transaction of routine busi ness, and for the election of professors tf there should be any vacancy. So;far as known here, there will fo. no vacan cies. A custom has been established at the .Agricultural College by which -no elections are held unless there are vacancies. In other words, the professors are not"Vo elected from year to year, but are allowed to retain their positions Indefinitely un less action Is necessary in some particu lar case. If some professor desires -to re eign, he can do so. If the Board of Re gents desires hia resignation, they can quietly aBk for "it. By thip course -there is the least amount of friction, for since there is no annual re-election, pettjvgriev ances are net likely to result "in an effort to depose a professor who iaa glvsn. gen eral satisfaction. GOOD SPEECHES B.Y LAWYERS. SIcGinn and Fulton Appear Before tile Supreme Qpjart. SALEM. July 15. In. th6 SupremejCourt today two .of the leading Jury lawyers lnu the state were pitted against each other in the trial of a case. It is seldom that addresses "before the Supreme E&urt possess -any interest lor others than law yers, and often the arguments are ex ceedingly dry to the ordinary nearer. To day, however. Judge McGinn, of Port land, and Senator Fulton, of Astoria, oc cupied the attention of tho court with loqucntraddresses, which would have interested any one who might have heard them. The courtroom, as usual, was oc cupied only by.the Judges, the bailiff and attorneys. Tho case on trial was that of Thomas Miles, appellant, vs. Columbia River Packers' - Association, respondents, In which Miles had brought suit for about $1500, alleged to be due himself and oth ers for services as fishermen. McGinn fand George Nolan represented Miles, white Pulton presented the case for tho association. In the lower court tho plaintiff, introduced his testimony and rested his case, after which, upon mo tion of defendant, the case was dis missed, for the reason that sufficient evl- I deuce hfd not "been Introduced to warrant "o ciuri in suomuung ipo case 10 ne . Juryw in yie Supreme Court McGinn and J oian wero cnargea witn ino xasK ot con- i vlnclng the Judges' that the evidence was sufficient' to go to. the Jury. In his usual vivid and- interesting style, Judge McGinn related the evidence to tho court, and made an eloquent discussion of -the evi dence,, such as Judgo, McGJnn. can. make when he is representing the cause of the laboring man, who is alleged to have been wronged. When Mr. Pulton arose to nrirlrnva Vi rrmrf iA vrrrArl In TfOrds of praise to McGinn's eloquent Address, I and remarked that it the case naa gone to the Jury, wanting though it was in evi dence, Judge McGinn would have -won it by his address to the Jury. Then he -took up the llserSsloa ot the Evidence himself and delivered ohe f his masterful -addresses, "wfhlch left It an open question whether ho or his opponent would have won. before a Jury.
