A party from Creston, Wash., had
the honor of running to earth tbe out'
law, mid aro due to receive the re
wards of 1 4 ,000 offered by the govern
or of iVanhiugton and Oregon and by
privute Individuals. ltie party was
made up of the following erson, cit;
n'm of Crei-tou: C. A. Straiih, deputy
heriff; Dr. K. C. Ijinler, Maurice
niith, attorney, and J. J. Morrison
railroad section tort-man. These
four men, armed to the teeth and U-nt
on achieving unvn wheie other had
failed, set out from Creston yesterday
(trencHMi alsmt two o'clock. They
were working on tne iniormaiion oi
the Goldfinch youth, who had been
forcibly made the companion of the
Oregon convict for over 24 hour at the
Kddy ranch, and proved said informa-
ion to be well founded and worthy of
belief.
Proceeding in a southeasterly direc
ion for about 11 miles, the pursuing
party made all possible lui.-te in gi t
ting near the Kddy ranch, which is sit
uated on take creek, about three milsc
directly south of Fellow, on the
Washington Central railway, where
tbe outlaw wa said to bo located.
The country is what is called "cab,"
and when near the ranch the party
took all precaution a to ambnebes or
surprise.
They approached the place in safety,
and when within some f w hundred
yard came acroea Farmer Kddy mow
ing in a field. The party went to
him, and while engaging him in conver
sation they saw a man issue from the
burn, whiih could lie plainly seen from
whoie the party Blood on a rise of the
round. "Is that Tracy?" asked one of
the party. "It surely is," laconically
replied Kddy. With this information at
hand, and the man so close to the hunt
ers, there was naturally a great deal of
excitement. The party separated, and
Lanter and Smith accompanied Kddy
in tho direction of the bam, while the
other two men swung around to cut off
any break for liberty in another direc
tion.
KeairiiB that structure, the two man
hunters stepped behind the barn on a
slight eminence, from which they could
watch everything that went on, and the
farmer continued up to the ham uoor
When he arrived there Tracy came
from the barn again and began helping
the farmer unhitch the horse. He car
ried no rillu, allium h be had his revol
vers in place.
The fugitive saw tbe men carriyng
rifles, and turning sbriiply on Farmer
Kddy, said: "Who are those men?"
"I don't see any men," said the host.
Whereupon Tracy poiuted out the two
men on the hill, waitng to be sure of
their man belore they began shooting.
Kddy informed his companion who the
men wore, and at that time the ollicers,
stepping a little closer, coninmadcd:
"Hold up your hands!
At this juncture the outlaw jumped be
hind Kddyaud placed both the man and
bis horse between himself and the
hunters. In this position lie command
ed the farmer to lead his hoi so to tbe
barn, and wtnnininir under this cover
he moved toward the shelter. When
nearly to the stable bo broke and dash
ed inside. He did not linger long, but
in the twinkling of an eye reappeared
rille in hand, and started on a dead
run down the valley. Turning to the
two men looking for him. the desper
ado fired two shots, but without his
usual precision. Neither bullet took
effect, and without waiting for further
fighting Tracy took to his heels and
made all possible haste down the valley
leading south from the barn.
The man hunters were off in pursuit
firing as rapidly as possible at their
fleeing quarry.
Coming to an immense rock, the out
law saw a chance to get rid of hi pur
Biters, and accordingly dodged behind It
and begun a niBilade which he proba
bly imagined would end the struggle.
Kight shot in all were fired, and
these eight will take some ol the efful
gence off the reputation of the Oiegon
convict as a dead shot. Seeing be wa
not succeeding in hi eudeavors, he left
hi position behind the rock and made
dash for the wheat field not far dis
tant. Just a be wa entering the field
ie (tumbled, ami failing on hi face
crawled on into the field on his band
and knee.
Tbi ld tbe hunter to lwlieve that
they had it least wounded their man,
but it was getting dusk, and they did
not dare to proceed, a they could not
their man nor know bo ready be
wa to take a ' pot shut." Therefore,
after holding, a consultation, they de-
ided to surround the place snd wait
for dayilght.
Shortly after Tracy dinppearance
into the wheat field the watcher beard
a shot w hich sounded a though it came
from about the spot to which he had
crawled. No investigation wa made,
however, until morning, but that shot
is supponed to have been the fatal one
and to have been responsible for hav
ing sent the noted desperado into the
Great Ileyond.
In the morning search was made and
the body wa found lying fate upwards
near the edge of the wheat field.
Upon examination of the body it
was tumid that the wound which remitt
ed in the outlaw' death wa inflicted
by the 45-caliber revolver, held close
to the head. Tbe top of the bead was
badly mangled. Two bullet wounds
on tbe left leg showed the cause of the
mini a despair and subsequent sicide.

BAD NEWS FROM CUBA.

Washington, Aug. 5. Discouraging
reports are received from Cuba. There
has been a great falling off iu the rev

from the island. It la reported that
the daily receipts at Havana do not
average more than 15,000. Capital is
autiouB, and men of means are wait
ng to see what tbe government will do
before investing. The expenses of the
government have been largely reduced,
but tins has caused dissatisfaction
among the Cubans who want fat salar
ies. There are rumors that many ol
the officers placed in important posi
tions are incompetent, and some may
not lie straight. A general feeling of
disquiet is apparent, which is not a good
indication for the new republic.

HARRY TRACY.
Colfax, Wash., Aug. 7. President A.
. Mohler, of the O. R. A N. Co.,
played the stai part at the Colfax con
ference of the farmers and railroad men
held in this city. President Hill made
longer speech, and eevn President
Mellen was under the limeligjt for a
longer time, but Mohler's part was the
one for which tbe crowd was waiting,
and when, in a few terse, clean-cut sen
tences, he got to the point by an air
line route, and announced a freight re
duction of ten per cent straight, effect
ive in all territory east of Pasco, the
big crowd in attendance went wild
with enthusiasm. Previous to the an
nouncement a oommiti-te of farmers
hsd presented their side of the case.
and asked for a flat rate of 10 cents per
bnehel. They accompanied tbeir re
quest with elaborate figures showing
the cost of producing w heat and tbe
attendant small proiits, but weie not
at all insistent in tbeir demands.
Good Feeling la tht Air.
The utmost good feeling prevailed
and the general belief that the railroad
men were disposed to be perfectly fair
with the farmers simplified matters
very much. Chairman McCroskey's
opening expression ol a bope mat tne
result of the meeting would take the
freight rate question out of politics
met with unanimous approval, and the
enthusiasm with which every sentiment
expressed by the railroad men was re
ceived boded no good for tbe politicians
who have been banking on having the
taiirvoad as a strong political issue
during tbe coming campaign.
Secondary to Mr. Nobler in arousing
enthusiasm was Mr. Mellen, who fol
lowed w ith an announcement of a cut
of 3 cents per bushel in the rate on
wheat to eistern points, both Presi
dents Hlil and Mellen made the possi
bility of wheat trade with the east a
star feature of their talks, and directly
and indirectly intimated that export
er at tidewater were exatciohg too
large a profit from the farmers.
The meeting was atended by farmers
from all parts of the Palouse and from
Idhao, and not one-balf the farmers
who came in to attend the meeting
could find even standing room in the
the big room at the courthouse where
the meeting was held. But one of the
speakers at the conference committee
questioned the motives which prompt
ed the meeting, and the statement oi
Mr. Mellen that the reduction in the
rate would cost the three roads f800,
000 in reduction of revenues for the
coming season aione seemed to be an
effectual assurance that there was
nothing sinister in the motives.
Mohler Sptaki for 0. R. A N.
President Mohler, of the 0. R. & N.,
was in bis own territory atlthis meet
ing, and if the applause was a criterion
the crowd w as glad be was there. He
said in part:
"It gives me more pleasure to meet
you than to collect the freight on a car
of wheat, which is about tlie only pleas
ure I have had in the last few year
My connection with the O. R. & N.
dates from 1897, at which time it was
a poor railroad with a poor trcak, worn
out bndgi'B, worn-out bonds and worn
out stock. At the reorganization the
stockholders were assessed $6 per share
for owning it. We have since expended
g,500,000 renewing bridges, $2,500,-
000 on the Snake river line, and will
spend with other loads ,2,000,000
mote in the construction of a line from
Lewiston. The Navigation company,
while it may seem strange to you, has
been reducing its rates steadily in spite
of this heavy expenditure. If it bad
received the same rates which were
effective in 18!)6 up to the present time,
its earnings would have been over 4,
000,000 more for the stockholders.
Who received the money? Not the
bondholders or the stockholders, but the
people of this country. One year ago
we voluntarily reduced our passenger
rates from 4 to 3 cents per mile, at a
very heavy sacrifice to our earnings.
"We are glad that you came to us
with your grievance. Years ago, when
you were courting a gill, you courted
her direct, for if youu sent the other
follow you generally lost the girl. That
is where you were wise by courting us
direct, for you have certainly got us.
It has-been intimated that we are go
ing to do st-mething for you and we are.
The time -is opportune, for if you
had come to us later we might not have
had such bright prospects, and would
have felt less disposed to grant it. We
must form a partnership with you, and

EARTH IS SHAKEN.
Violent Scitmic Shocks la California People
Warned to Move
Santa Barbara, Cat., Aug. 2 The
inhabitant of the little town of Lo
Alamo, which has been the center ol
seismic disturbances during the past
four days, are tonight huddled around
a huge con fire, waiting for daylight to
come. Many of tbe residents have left
for places outside the tremor belt.
Those who Lave remained could not
well abandon their business. The town
of Los Alamos is situated on tbe Pacific
Coast railway, midway between Santa
Ynez and Santa Maria, in tbe long,
narrow valley of the Los Alamos, 15
miles from tbe coast. It has about 300
population. The Los Alamos valley is
from one-balf to one mile wide. Its
population is about 800. There are no
brick buildings in the little village,
and the damage thus far is limited to
tbe ruin of plaster, the collapse of
chimneys, tbe breaking of crockery and
glassware, tbe falling of the walls of
the Piesbyterian church and two store
buildings and tbe demolishing of an old
adobe building which was seriously
damaged by the first quake. The dam
age will not exceed 110,000 in the
opinion of conservative residents of the
place. There is not a chimney left
standing in the town. One residence
was moved four inches and split in
opposite corners. Not a building
escaped some injury, and it i consid
ered miraculous that no one was hurt.
There was a series of light vibrations
during the day, which culminated in
quite a severe shock at 7:30 P. M
Fruther shocks are anticipated. The
most severe shock of tbe entire series
occurred at 1 :20 this morning, when
the hils were shaken and twisted to
tbeir foundations and tbe valley trem
bled and rolled like the surface of the
ocean, ureat nssurns were ran in tne
earth, hills appeared in level valleys
springs of water opened up in places
that had been dry, ai d tbe general to
pography of the valley was greatly
changed in many respects..
The disturbance had mjgeneral direc
tion, out was what is known as
twister." It was preceded by
rumbling like that of distant thunder.
which increased until the eartb began
to rock and twist and the hills began
to tremble. With the first warning
the sound of the approaching disaster
the terror-stricken people rushed into
the streets and sought places of safety
in vacant lots and fields, while many
hastened toward the neighboring hills,
The first vibration were similar to the
preceding disturbances in direction and

Striken art Orderly.
Shenandoah, Pa., Aug. 2. Twelve
hundred state troops are encamped to
night on a hill overlooking bhenan
doah. Down in the town, where riot
ers and policemen fought the bloody
battle last night, all is quiet, and the
indications are that so long as the
militia remains the peace !of the com
munity will not again lie broken. The
riot which caused the soldiers to be sent
here came like a flash and was over
almost as quickly as it had started, and
not a single case of violence has been
reported since. The tens of thousands
of idle men and boys in this vicinity
who have been gathering in large num
bers and marching from place to place,
did not repeat their demonstrations to
day, and the authorities consequently
had little or nothing to do.
The arrival of the citizen soldiery
proved to be a gre.it attraction for the
large army of unemployed, and hun
dreds of men and boys came to town to
see the troops. Most of the commands
were on the ground by 10:30 o'clock.
Brigadier General Gobin, of the Third
brigade, in command of the troops here,
and his staff were on the scene early.
The camp is located on a high hill just
outside of the town, and commands a
full view of the town.
