GOWED BY TRACY
Outlaw Makes Farmer Boy
Shave Him.
THREE OTHER MEK LOOK ON
FusltSve First Eats a Hearty Meil at

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.

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.

According- to the story told by "West,
12 saws were smuggled Into the Jail by
a friend of St. John's, Stephen Read, who
has oeen actively aiding the prisoner
since his extradition from England. The
frame in which the saws fit was too
large to admit of its passing between
the Jail bars, and while the prisoners
wero waiting for a new frame, they
learned that a "shake down" was to oc
cur, and they sent the saws out by Read
to be .kept until after the feearch was
made. Read evidently became frightened,
as when the search was made St. John
was caught writing a letter to Read, urg

for their flight, which Included supplying
