Mr. Tongue Finally Secures Pensions
for Indian War Veterans. Fight
with Escaped Convicts.
INDIAN WAR VETERANS' BILL PASSED.
Washington, June 16. The Iudian War Veterans'
bill has now passed both Houses of Congress and goes to
the President for approval. Representative Tongue has
been, laboring in its behalf ibr years, and is very happy
over its final passage. It provides a pension for the Ore
gonians who fought in the Indian wars.
A FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Vancouver, Wash.,Juue 17. At 2 o clock this morn
ing a most exciting event occurred, which shows that
Tracy and Merrill, if run into a corner, will make a des
perate fight for life. They are evidently determined not
to be taken, if possible to escape, and if the inevitable
should finally come to pass, to sell their lives as dearly as
possible.
At the hour named, Bujt Beisieckcr and Frauk Davis?
were on guard on the bridge across Salmon creek near the
place where Tracy and Merrill were believed to be in hid
ing and over which the military road passes. Suddenly the
two convicts appeared.
The guards are determined men. and they saw that a
fight was on. The convicts
As the escapes swung into range, four guns were raised
and four men began to blaze away. Several volleys were
thus exchanged. When the reports had died away and
the smoke cleared, it was found that Biesiecker was slight-
jly wounded through the .shoulder. Whether any of the
shots fired by Biesiecker and
sible to say. Tracy and Merrill withdrew speedily to cover. ;
Guard Carson has been dispatched for the blood-j
hounds, and the fight will be kept up, for the detcrmina- j
tion on one side to capture auu
stronger now than ever. Your correspondent is no a- on
his way to the scene of the fight.
