WHY THE PURSUIT OF TRACY
"WALTER
STATES
THE opportunity to learn something
of the character of Harry Tracy as
a fueitivo and observe some Of the
; Incidents attending the pursuit of him,,
presented Itself In following the chase
some 35 or 36 days as he led or dodged
about emong the posses through Oregon
and Washington.
The public Is already more or less fa
miliar with that chapter In the eventful
life of Tracy, beginning at 7 o'clock on
Vi mi-mlniy tt Tuna Q TTVlfi itirl "V?T
down three penitentiary guards, wounded
a fellow convict, .and scaled the prisDn
walls, and, continuing, until, having killed,
besides his pal, three officers of the State
of Washington and -wounded the fourth,
be disappeared in the forest In the vicinity
of Lake Sawyer, King. County, "Washing
ton, on the 18th day of July. During this
period Tracy baffled Sheriffs, eluded
posses, fooled bloodhounds, disgusted de
tectives, ridiculed the armed militia,
spoiled the reputation of professional man
hunters, and retains his liberty in defiance
of the civil and military authorltles.Over
1000 men with Winchesters, Sprlngflelds,
Krag-Jorgensons, Marlins and Savago
guns have been on his trail, but Tracy,
though haggard, still Uvea, with only a
buckshot wound to nurse. There perhaps
has not "been a time during -the chase that
Tracy was not within gunshot rango of
the long-distance guns of some of his
pursuers, yet his hiding places proved as
safe shelter as the wilds of South Af
rica could have afforded.
Lost Opportunities.
That he has played in luck, all familiar
with his escapades will agree. That be
has not been captured or killed is not al
togther his fault. He might have been
ki.Ied while climbing the penitentiary
walls. There was a possibility of closing
in and ending the existence of himself
and Merrill at Gervais. Charley Dunlap
might havo sent a Savage bullet through
his body near La Center by merely pulling
the trigger. Bert Blesecker and Young
Davis might have landed him In a mix
up on Salmon Creek. It was quite possible
for the four men who conveyed him by
launch from Olympia to Meadow Point to
have overpowered Tracy and taken his
gun away. At Bothell or the Van Horn
residence he might have been killed. J
Bunce and son and Deputy Crow mlgnt
have fatally shot him In the railroad cut
near Covington. He should have been
taken at the Jerreld residence near Ben
ton. Anderson, in his three days' serv
ice might have caught him off guard and
slain his master. Johnson, of Kent, might
have effected a capture at his home, in
stead of supplying Tracy with firearms.
Prompt action on the part of the posse
might have resulted in at least a battle
with him and his new pals at the cabin
on Lake Sawyer. But Tracy lives to con
gratulate himself that he is not the vic
tim of what might have been. Favored
by every moment's hesitation or blunder
of his pursuers, boldness and consummate
audacity, supplemented by desperation
anJ the ability to take advantage 6t
new situations, as they arise, won out.
How Tracy Chose Paths.
AH the way from Salem to Puget Sound
there Is a continuous stretch of timber,
and along this wooded way Tracy stead
ily kept his course, making an occasional
excursion out into open country and
among the settlements where food is plen
tiful. Fhls timber belt Is marked with
ravines, and canyons and sometimes the
dense growth of salal brush, fern, vine
maple and other, forest shrubbery, inter
twined among the tops of fallen trees and
darkened by the heavy foliage of the
Btanding timber, defies the penetration of
man, or even bloodhounds, and invites
only bats and owls of the forest. County
roads, however, occasionally cross this
belt, and some sections are checkered
with log and skid roads, cowpaths and
varmint trails. Along these roads and
trails Tracy journeyed from Salem to Se
attle, with the exception of the distance
covered in crossing the Sound In the gaso
line launch. He carried in his hand his
ever ready 30-30 Winchester rifle, and on
his back his baggage. The latter consist
ed of a blanket, a few articles of food
ana a frying pan. A loaf of bread, a piece
of bacon and some boiled eggs usually
made up his commissary supplies. Knick
knacks were secured from private families,
end generally from one of the Johnson
families. His blanket, rolled around his
food supply, was strapped to his back,
loavlng the hands free to use a gun.
Sometimes his entire luggage would be
dropped into a flour or gunnysack, to
which a rope attached at each end, passed
in front of the body while the sack was
carried diagonally across the back. Thus
equipped, Tracy proved to be at home in
the woods, and by continually doing tho
unexpected and through many misleading
rumors, started by Imaginative minds or
sympathizers of the desperado, the posse
traveled many more miles, lost more sleep,
end often went more hungry than Tracy.
One Courageous "Woman.
Though a few horseback, boat and buggy
rides were stolen, Tracy traveled mostly
afoot, commanding, with tho air of a
czar, men, women and children to do his
bidding. Housevlwes have prepared his
meals, children run on errands and men
become abject slaves at his command
The knowledge that Tracy, convict, robber
and murderer, was in the vicinity was suf
ficient to terrorize whole neighborhoods.
and only those who followed closely on
his trail can appreciate the lasting Im
pressions of fright left on children or the
effect of the Tracy scaro on nervous
women. The effect, however, was not
the same on all, for some women along
the way not only exhibited fearlessness.
but offered practical suggestions to the
posse and furnished valuable information
as to the geography of tho country. An
instance Illustrating the different natures
of women occurred in the Lewis Blver vi
clnlty, Washington. A woman, by whoso
home Tracy and Merrill had passed, a few
hours In advance of the posse carried
water to the" pursuers. While ministering
to their thirst, surrounded by a number of
children, she anxiously inquired Into the
possibility of the convicts visiting her
home. "The children and I have not 6ept
lor two nights," she said. "My husband
is at work, and I don't know what we'll
do." Her neighbor met the posse 200
yards before It reached her house and
coolly Inquired If her boy had been seen
down the road. Informed that her boy
had not -been seen by the posse, she In
sisted It was time for him to have re
turned from town and expressing fear
that he had been detained by the high
waymen, added. "Let Mr. Tracy come
here and demand something to eat, If he
will. 111 poison him, and that's what I'll
do." It was learned afterward that she
nad procured poison and placed It In food
that was saved for Tracv and Merrill.
but the wily fugitives never honored her
with a call.
Tracy' Terrorizing: Povrer.
Tracy soon learned the value of his
terrorizing power, and made the most of
it. Usually the first announcement upon
entering a residence was, 'Tm Tracy.'
The commands that followed wero trpnor.
ally, obeyed the latter, and the hyp
notic mnuence or his threats often lasted
many hours after his doparture. On the
evening or tne DreaK Tracy, then accom
Danled by Merrill, called
South Salem and exchanged his convict
clothes for a citizen's suit. It was not till
o'clock the next morning that Roberts
mustered up courage to go and tell the
Sheriff, Pat McGulre, of Clark County.
Washington, was robbed by Tracy and
Merrill on Sunday morning, but officers
close by were not notified until in the
LYON, PRIVATE SECRETARY
SOME FACTS
evening. Johnson, of Kent, who enter
talned Tracy all day and rode a distance
of some 20 miles to town to purchase him
a revolver, did not throw off the spell
and tell the Sheriff till the next day. It
was some time after his liberation before
Anderson was free from the influence and
able to talk intelligently of hla travels
with Tracy. When Tracy was present and
inquiry was made as to his whereabouts,
his involuntary hosts or captives always
made answer at variance with the truth,
at Tracy's suggestion. There were those
who dared to invite the consequences of
disobedience to his will, and in the list
of those exhibiting such temerity belong
the names of Harold Jerreld. the little
daughter of Mrs. Akers, Mrs. Van Horn
and the Seattle delivery boy. Harold Jer
reld, when given the two stolen watches
and ordered to take them into Seattle,
convert them into money and buy re
volvers. Instead went direct to the Sher
iff's office, delivered the watches and In
formed the Sheriff that Tracy was at his
mother's house awaiting his return.
When Tracy and Merrill appeared at the
home of Mrs. Akers. near Monitor, Or.,
and ordered the family assembled while a
meal was being prepared, one little girl
broke away and Informed the men work- ,
Harry Tracy, an he appeared
In Utah, prison
lng at a mill some distance away. While
Tracy was partaking of a meal at the
home of Mrs. Van Horn, she whispered
It to a delivery boy, who promptly spread
the news and had Sheriff Cudlhee in front
of the houso before the outlaw had fin
ished his repast.
It is to be remarked that servile obedi
ence did not seem to elicit any particular
gratitude jr excite the admiration of
Tracy. Anderson, who rowed his boat.
carried his burden and performed all tho
functions of a menial servant, received no
reward or encouragement at his master's
hands, but was kept bound hand and foot
when off duty. Toung Jerreld, when first
held up, was taken to the camp that
had been left in charge of Anderson,
bound with strings. The Jerreld boy's at
tention, upon arriving at camp, was at
tracted to Anderson by TracyB remark.
"Look at the pig."
Good "Work by the Hounds.
The bloodhounds that followed Tracy's
track though, with the -Sheriffs and
posses, they havo been criticised for not
running him down were, Tracy acknowl
edged, a source of annoyance to him. and
he told "Stoolplgeon" Ward, so Ward re
lates, that he would rather get a shot at
Guard Carson, trainer of tho dogs, than
at Sheriff Cudlhee. The dogs used wero
brought from Walla Walla Penitentiary,
and are the property of Warden Catron.
They are young dogs, only 19 months old,
and raised and trained on the prairies of
Eastern Washington, could not bo expect
ed to do as good work on this side of the
mountains as at home. The scent of fir,
salal ahd oher mountain growth was
new to them, and they never before had
such dense forests to trail through. Don
and Hunter wero used In the chase
through Oregon and Southern Washington,
but, because of a disposition to fight with
Don, and being partially disabled. Hunter
was left at home, and BeH, a female of
the same age, sent with "Don to King
County. Here the prettiest work of tho
chase on the part of the dogs was dono
the evening Tracy was run out of the
Jerreld home. The hounds, with the
posse, reached the house perhaps three
quarters of an hour after Tracy had gone.
A hot trail was taken, and tho dogs wero
giving tongue freely, but they liad gone
but a few hundred yards when-they came
to the river and the baying ceased. Here
Track had waded the river, Bell plunged
In and swam half-way across, but as her.
mate would not follow, she turned back.
Both dogs were hurried to a bridge be
low and crossed to the other side. The
scent was taken up again, but the dogs
had not proceeded far when they began
sniffing and rolling In the grass. Carson's
attention was called to tho strange antics
of his dogs. "That's red pepper," he an
swered, "sprinkled by Tracy along his
track; it won't last long." Soon they
were again giving tongue in the direction"
of Lake Washington, and here Tracy, in
order to reach the cover of woods by the
shorter route, had waded across tho south
ern end of the lake. In places taking water
up to his armpits. Bell, upon reaching the
lake, again plunged Into tho water, tills
time followed by Don, and, by means of
the scent left on the brake grown up in
the shallow water, gave proof of how a
dog can swim and follow a track. Skirt
ing the edge of Lake Washington Is an
electric car line, which connects Benton
and Seattle. Tho track crosses tho south
ern end of the lake on a trestle. Tracy,
coming "onto the road In the lake, climbed
the trestle . and walked ties. The dogs,
upon reaching the trestle, were at their
wits' end for a while, for it was too high
for them to climb. They wero helped up
on the trestle by Carson and took tho di
rection of Seattle. Their progress on the
track, it soon developed, was slow, for
they were unaccustomed to running on
ties, and their legs would go between tho
timbers. They were taken up by the first
passing car and carried across the trestle,
and, after following the trail half a mile
farther. It was lost on the shoro of the
lake, where a dense forest extends down
to the water's edge. The dogs circled for
a radius of a quarter of a mile, and. fail
ing to find the track, and as darkness was
on, they were called off for the day, leav
ing the hunted man wet, fatigued and
without suppper or provisions, to spend
one of his most uncomfortable nights
since the Gervais siege. It is probable
that the dogs were thrown off the track
on this occasion by his taking to the
lake and following the edge of it a mile or
more.
Though the bloodhounds, as well as tho
human man-hunters, failed to capture
Tracy, they did their part in leash and
out.
Sheriff Handicapped.
' The men to whom Tracy has been par
ticularly annoying in his flight from jus
tice are the Sheriffs. It is they to whom
people generally look to capture him, and
the Sheriff of each county through which
the outlaw has passed has regrets tha
Tracy cahie his way. Since Tracy his
prolonged his stay beyond all expecta
tions In King County, Washington, and
put the county to an expense of more
FAILED
OF GOVERNOR GEER,
than $10,000, besides killing three officers
and wounding another. Sheriff Cudlhee
has been the object of more or less cen
sure, but it is only proportionate to the
length of time Tracy has sojourned in
his county, and the amount of mischief
done. Through every county through
which the outliw passed there Is to be
observed a disposition to throw on the
Sheriff more responsibility than belongs
and to expect more than the bounds of
reason will permit. Of course Tracy
should have been captured, but it is dif
ficult to say who should have done It.
Sheriffs generally are not on an equality
with Tracy in his particular line. A Sher
iffs equipment usually consists of a re
volver and a pair of handcuffs, and he Is
rarely -ever practiced In the use of a
rifle. Tracy carries a 1000-yard gun, and
though not a "crack shot," does very ef
fective work with It. Another handicap
to the Sheriffs are the posses they have
to deal with. The large reward offered
brings all kinds of people Into the chase,
and however reckless or incompetent the
man, a Sheriff feels a delicacy In sending
him home. Sheriff Cudlhee had fully his
share of would-be Tracy catchers to deal
with.
Sheriff Durbln has been by some held
David Merrill, as he appeared
trb.cn received at Deer Lodge
Penitentiary, Montana,
responsible for not routing Tracy and
Merrill out of the Gervais jungle the first
day they wero surrounded. Thero wero
two companies of militia in the cordon
surrounding the woods, and over these
Durbln had no control. It is the duty of a
Sheriff, when he calls for troops in this
state, to point out In a general way what
he wants to accomplish, and leave the
matter of carrying out his wishes to tho
commanding officers. When tho Sheriff
pointed out to the commanding officer.
Major Leabo, the woods where Tracy and
Merrill were concealed and told him the
aid of the militia was asked to capture
them, dead or alive, the limit of his au
thority was reached, and it Was up, to
Major Leabo to lead the-troops into tho
woods or keep them on guard. The Sher
iff was responsible only for his deputies.
In addition to all other kinds of people.
Sheriff Cudlheo had tho newspaper jo
porters to deal with. They were an in
telligent lot of good fellows and kept the
public thoroughly Informed on what hap
pened and didn't happen on tho chase in
King County, but they needed an official
censor. More than once Cud.lhee's plans
wero prematurely published by over-zealous
reporters, in the strife to bo first.
Walter Lyon, private secretary
of Governor Gecr.
One of Cudlheo's reporters met a deputy
out of town and each looked suspiciously
at the other. The reporter dodged behind
a telegraph pole and the deputy jumped
behind a bank. After an hour's peek-a
aboo performance, the reporter opened
fire, and kept it up until he concluded his
antagonist was dead enough and left him
for the hogs. The deputy afterward en
tered a complaint at the newspaper office
that the reporter shot in his direction.

MURDERER- FOB. YEARS.
Tracy's Monstrous necord Before He
Came to Oregon.
Tho name Harry Tracy, under which the
outlaw la extensively advertised, is an
alias. His real namo Is Harry Severn.
He was born In Missouri, and was 27 years
old the 23d of last October. Inquiries re
ceived for him at the Oregon Penitentiary
reveal that he has operated In the Hole-In-the-Wall
country, and over the North-

west generally. He is.na escape from tho
Utah Penitentiary, and is very much
wanted in Colorado to answer for tho
murder of V. S. Hoy.
A letter recently received at the peni
tentiary from a Colorado officer, In re
sponse to a letter of inquiry concerning
Tracy, gives a bit of bis history. It says:
"Lant. Tracy and W. H. Brown, a mu
latto, escaped from the guard at the
Utah Penitentiary a year ago last October.
They got away at tho same time. Tracy
held up the guard at the muzzle of a re
volver, changing clothes with the guard
at the time. Tracy has no wife that I
.ever heard of, and none of his acquaint
ances have any knowledge of his being
married, yetdt would not be surprising if
he had. as most of these outlaws have a
wife somewhere in Utah. It seems as if
Utah girls have a decided preference for
outlaws for husbands.
'Vour last question, "Do you know of
any other of his palsF I" live near the
state line of Colorado. Wyoming and Utah.
It is a wild, sparsely settled section, and
up to the time my brother was killed
these outlaws were coming and going all
times of the year. When v. S. Hoy was
killed there was a grand uprising all over
the country, by law-abiding people, and
since that event we haven't seen or heard
of the gang only In a general wav. With
out any by-laws they are a brotherhood.
They all know or know of each other, and
when one of them as a stranger first
comes tof a neighborhood ho knows who
his friends are. When hotly pursued by
officers, their associations are broken up
by their being scattered, captured or
killed. Lant. Tracy, Johnson and Bennett
were pals at the time of the killing of V.
S. Hoy. Bennett was lynched, Johnson
sent to the Wyoming Penitentiary for 20
years, you have Tracy, and the devil only
knows where Lant is. J. S. HOY."
A Vile Monster.
Another letter received by the Jailer at
Portland at the tlmg Tracy was arrested
reflects something of how he Is regarded
In Colorado. Tho letter Is from a brother
of tho murdered man:
'I saw In the newspaper dispatches that
Tracy had been captured and jailed, and
again that he bad made another desperate
attempt at escape. Tracy. Lant and John
son are the names of three arch villains
who were together when they killed my
brother near this postofflce, March 1, 1S9S.
They were captured three or four days
later by citizens from Utah, Wyoming
and Colorado. To my call for help men
came from all around, and night and day
kept up the chase until the three were
taken. There were so many men that the
escape of tho three outlaws was Impos
sible. The next morning after my brother
was killed, Jack Bennett, a pal of the
three, was taken and lynched, and that
that act seemed somewhat to satisfy the
people's vengeance Is the only reason I

Guard Carson
can Klve for their not hanging the mur
derous trio. Johnson was tried shortly
afterward at Green Blver, Wyo:, for mur
der, and sent to the penitentiary for 20
years. Lant and Tracy were sent to the
Boult County Jail to await their trial at
the next term of the District Court, where
they beat tho Sheriff nearly to death, es
caped, were recaptured, sent to Aspen for
safe-keeping, where they did up the Jail
er and again escaped.
"There is not doubt but Tracy fired the
shot from behind a rock, not more than
eight or 10 feet from where my brother
stood, and killed him Instantly. My broth
er at the time was looking the other way.
The act was the most cowardly, foul as
sassination. Tracy Is a case of total de
pravity. There Is not a single redeeming
trait In his make-up. He has forfeited
all right to live. He is utterly reckless
and thoroughly desperate, and- has no re
gard for human life, conscience-seared, a
vile monster, whom to kill ought to secure
any man's eternal salvation hereafter.
Don't trust him one moment. Chain him
to an anvil: treat him as he treats others.
Hanging- Is too good for him. I was the
Justice of the Peace before whom their
preliminary examination was held for kill
ing Valentine B. Hoy, and it was my opin
ion, and the opinion of others present,
that more heartless, Indifferent and hard
ened human devils never lived.
"Every one now, while grinding his
teeth, thinks that all three ought to have
been taken out and hanged to the same
beam from which Jack Bennett dangled.
When you folks get through with Tracy,
if he is above ground, we want him here.
For that reason, and to put you on your
guard. Is why I write-this letter.
"J. S.-.HOY."
Tracy's Mother.
It has been stated, apparently with the
view of excusing Tracy's murderous break
frcm the penitentiary, that he was flogged
or he never would have made tho attempt.
The statement Is altogether erroneous, as
Tracy was never flogged In the Oregen
State Prison. Ho and Merrill did both
wear "Oregon boots," however, during the
Summer of 1S99, when It was found out
that were In a conspiracy to, escape in
June of that year.
Tracy professes at times to havo regard
for his mother, but his regard Is not of
that kind that influences his actions in a
way to please her. She wrote him regu
larly while he was in the Oregon prison,
apparently trying to impart to him some
cheer. but occasionally a lapse Into an
outburst of grief betrays her deep sor
row for the condition of a hopeless son.
In a letter received by Superintendent
Lee for Tracy from his mother about the
tlmo of his escape, she says:
"My Dear Boy: My life Is darkened with
the sorrow that has come to us. Oh!
why, why was it that my boy should ever
do anything to be shut up In a prison!
It almost set me crazy. They thought In
time I would not feel so bad, but oh! the
pain Is there Just the same a3 It was at
first,"
In a previous letter she asked why her
boy had changed his name, but Tracy
never answered.
