IYjRTLAXD, June 12. The populace
of three counties la aroused to the
highest pitch over the daring break
for liberty of Tracy and Merrill, the
convict who escaped Monday from the
Salem penitentiary after shooting to
death three guards. They have been
hunted for four daya with blood
hounds by a posse of nearly 200 men,
have been what at a dozen times, and
tonight are still at large, somewhere
in the southern part of Clackarna
county.
Their daring deeds have terrorized
the inhabitanta of the country through
which they have passed, and no one
apparently dares to refuse their de
mands. They escaped from the tim
ber where they were surrounded tar
ly this morning, after the guard had
tired' four shots at them. It was
about 2 a. m. when they emerged
from rhelr hiding place, and one
guard tired hi shot-gun four times
at the fugitives. No attempt was
made to follow them until daylight.
The convicts breakfasted early at a
farm house near Monitor, five milts
away, and took lunch jhout 1 i'-I i k

In reality H was one of the most com
plete and satisfactory meals ever
served In Astoria to so largo a crowd.
The vistums were hungry and they
enjoyed It as they had never enjoyed
a meal .before .according to their uni
versal statement.
Rnked salmon was the foundation of
the meal, but there were salads of all
kinds, vegetables, fruits, Ice cream
and coffee and all of those dainty
" finishes and touches' which women
know so well how to prepare. And
bhere was plenty for all, and a su in
dent amiHint left to have fed as many

After the banquet was over address
es of thanks were delivered by Grand
Master A. C. Harwlck, of Buffalo, N.
Y., and by Grand Chief of Honor Ella
II. Muntor, of Minnesota. They were
Introduced by Chairman of the Advis
ory, Committee. William A. Barnes,
of San Francisco.
The aiiecches were profuse In their
thanks to the local members, and the
committee, and said that It was the
greatest reception and the most 1 cs
pltabte one they had ever received.
They said that the members would re
turn to their homes remembering As

AYMW BRINGS REPORT.
NEW YORK. June 12. Americun
Consul Ayme has sailed for :he United
States to make a .personal report to
the stat department on the destruc

a dispatch to the World from Bas
seterre, Guadaloupe.
PORTLAND. June 12. Dispatch to
the Telegram from Gervals says:
Two mn were matched against 200
and the two won.
In these in words is summarized the
story of lant night's developments.
Traeey and Merrill have ;eaped.
At 2 o'clock this morning Charles
Tuh. of Salem, one of the euanls sur
rounding the woods near here, w here
in Tracey and Merrill were hidden.
decided 'that It would be a good idea
to move back from the place where
he was stationed to a more com
manding position 50 yards away.
He did so. and hud scarcely taken
up his new station when one of the
convicts climbed over the fence at the
exact siot Tuh had left. Tuh was
armed with a shotgun, loaded with
buckshot. He 'fired at the oultlaw
and ml-sJed; fired again, missed, re
loaded and ft red two more shots, all
without effect.
While this was happening the other
convict climbed over the fence at
point 100 yards or more away. No
guard was near enough to him to be
able to shoot him.
The two fugitives ran rapidly out
to the center of the wheat field ad
joining their hiding place, joined each
ot'her and proceeded on their way to
gether. Nohodv followed them.
This morning th militia and the
posse returned to Gervals. They were
soon Informed that Tracey and Mer
rill had taken breakfast near Monitor,
and despite the fact that the hunters
were weary, they set out at once for
that pi aw.
Governor Oeer arrived here on the
linte afternoon train to see tr-"t ac
commodations for the militia were
satisfactory. He returned on the
night train with a number of other
citizens of Salem.
The governor was on the firing line
during his brief visit.
" I wouldn't mind luving out there
all night, myself, If I had a gun," de
clared the governor. A search waa
immediately made for a weapon, but
the only two guns In town at the
time were previously engaged.
" I have made a complete tour of
the penitentiary," said the governor.
" It Is strange how Guard Jones was
killed. There were two bullet holes
In the glass door of his gentry box,
yet neither of these bullets ' could
have touched him. The fatal bullet
was evidently sent at him through
the open window in his box. His gun
was never touched. The wound in
Jone body was In a downward dl
recron. Thesa iclrcurnptance make
his death rather baffling In details.
Trncey and MerrH before leaving the
shop where they had murdered Ter
rell, shot at the feneemen through
the window of the building. Thl
was evidently to Intimidate the guard.
After this -they welzed a Hght ladder
and smashed the end of It through
a window, A peculiar thing Is that
the convicts do not know whether the
two men dim lied out of the window
or went outside."
Whether Tracey is wounded or not
is the cause of no little argument
That he i crippled Is generally believed.
