" Tracy, the notorious Oregon con
vict. at the bom K. M. John
son, two mile noutheaHl of thin place
Wednesday night. When he left tht
house he was nraiftl with a new revol
ver And hi 30-30 Wlnrhtor, and had
a plentiful supply of ammunition and
provision. Tracy sent Johnson to Ta
ooina to pun-haw the revolve r and
ammunition, lie threatened to exter
minate J.linn' family on the leant
iltrtl f treachery. The murderer
vmwl fagged out and he talked very
little about himself or his plana. WWIe
at thv h.-uxe he spent all the time
watching for his pursuers. He left
the house after dark, headed either
fur Seattle or rainier cut-off.
Not only did Trnry force Johnson
I to buy a revolver but he mode him
(borrow the nereary money In Kent.
' Johnson went to Tncoma and secured
tho wenixtn without sounding any note
of warning to the authorities. He was
badly frightened. Tracy seems to
have prt-lletlm for e"ile named
Johnson. He made 1-oul B. Johnson,
of Pot hell, drive hftn from that place
tu Woodland Park after kllllnit Deputy
Sheriff Raymond at Wayne. At Port-
M.nfllson he entered the horn of John
John.ou and decamped with Anderson,
the hired man. and after leaving: Oer
rell'a home at Kenton he flel to the
house "f Kent Johnson.
BECOMES MORK ANXIOCS.
That tlu murderer I beomlng arx
iott for hi safety waa shown by his
ondn-t at the house of B. M. John
son yesterday. He seemed to re.illM
that his exploit at ltenton had reach
ed the limit. His gayety had been
replaced by nervoua excitement of a
mnn nmr the end of his rope.
Jhnon has rend bin paper aorounts
of the desperado's actn about Seat
tle, lie describes him perfectly, and
Sheriff Cudlhee s.iy the clothing he
jls now wearing: I the mime he had on
at Gerrell'n home nt Kenton. Sheriff
Cudlhee wax In conversation with
Johnson for some time. He prin-ured
a j-ivmI description of the outlaw.
Johnwm spei'KK Kntfllwh poorly and
It wn with Home dlHlculty that the
iherlfT obtained Die facts'. He believe
that John on If telling; the truth and Is
thoroughly convinced It wan Tracy
who win at the place nnd not a eon
federate to throw officer off the track.
The trwn of Kent Ik alive with ru
mors of all kind regarding Tracy's
destination. Armed men are appearing
on the street and pieat excitement

Cudlhee stated at mldnlifht that he
now ha the locality In which Tracy

and If the outlaw doe not succeed In
escaping through the lines .iefore day
light a pitched battle li Imminent.
Tracy U believed to be ensoounced on

can be driven out today. Michael Do

Tracy, li well known In Auburn, and
Is regarded as a thoroughly reliable
man, If Dolan'a belief I true, then
Tracy will be forced to pit his nerve
and wits against a score of picked
deputies, with what success the next
few hours will reveal. Independent of
the Polan report there la an abundant
evidence that Tracy was In the vicin
ity of Auburn ithla afternoon. Two
young women residing near where Do
lan lives reported tonight that they
saw phantom-like outlaw. He pass
ed them on the county road going In
the direction of the locality where
Dolan believes he la now In hiding.
Both the young women claim that
Tracy carried his rifle in his right

stock only being visible at the waist

Terrible Explosion in Cambria

RESCUERS ARE SUFFOCATED
Four Hundred Men in Mine at
Time or the Kxploxion Two
HuiidrmlaiHlFift) Be
lieved to lie Dead.
JOHNSTOWN, Pa., July lO.-Johiw-
town has been visited by an appalling
disaster only less frightful than the
awful calamity of May 31, 1889. in cost
of life. The terrible explosion took
place In Cambrfa Steel Company roll
ing mill mine, under Wewt mount Hill,
early this afternoon and how many
are dead will fake several day to
fully determine. That It may reach
200 or more men, fs believed, It was
an hour after the explosion before any
sreneral knowledge of what had hap
pened got abroad, and hundreds rush
ed to the scene. At the opening across
the river, police stood guard, permit
ting no one to enter the mine from
which noxious Rases were coming.
Soon after the new of the explo
sion had reached Cambria, the officials
Engineer Moore and A. F. Posser made
an attempt to enter the mine. They
were followed by Superintendent Rob
inson, but the deadly gase stopped
their progress and they were compell
ed to return to the opening. Foreman
Rodgers. hi assistant, William
Blanche, and Fire Bosses John Whit
ney. John Retallic and John Thomas,
were overcome by the ga and it is
feared they perished in the heroic ef
fort to rescue the miners. William
Stlbk-h spent several hours at Mill
Creek opening. He believed as many
as 40 men were still in the mine. In
hi .opinion, more than 150 men had
come out.
REPORT ON CONDITION OF MINE.
Will Begin the Removal of Bodies In
the Morning.
JOHNSTOWN, Pa., July 1.-The
mining officials stated that the explo
sion was one of fire damp. Of the
few survivors who escaped from the
mine describe the condition to be
frightful (n Its nature.
Within fatal limits of the mine, the
have wrought Is such as beggars de
scription. Solid walls of masonry
three feet through were torn down
as though barriers of paper.
The roofs of he mine were demolish
ed and not a door remains standing.
In the face of these difficulties, even
the most heroic efforts toward the res
cue may well seem hopeless.
The armory will be turned Into a
charnel house. Planks have been laid
on chairs In the armory and the re
moval of the bodies will begin at an
early hour .n the morning.
PLACES NUMBER AT 125.
Number of the casualties Is now
placed at 125, no list of names of dead
can be given, for a majority of them
were foreigners and were known only
by check and not name.
The mine in which the explosion oc
curred is one of the largest coal mines
in the United States, according to the
statement of officials tonight.

cases where the fugitives have com
mitted financial crimes of magnitude."
Upon receipt of this report the act

partment, saying in his letter of trans
mittal: "It has been a matter ot great sur
prise to this department that i-uch a
state of affairs as that reported could
exist In any court controlled by British
entiment and laws, and I respectfully
request that the facts be laid before
the representative of his Britannic
majesty In order that the matter may
be dealt with In accordance with the
high state standards of British- Jus
tice." It is understood that the secretary of
state will bring the matter to the at
tention of the British embassy at once.
