Sheriffs' posma and other are dla putlng the ownership of hi body, Sln-rllT Cudlhee, of Seattle, who came arrows the elate to take up the long and baffled chase, positively Identified the outlaw at the Inquest today: HI death wa Intensely tragic. For two day Tracy had terrorised the oc cupant of Eddy ranch, out In Lake Creek country, three mile the little itldlng at Fe'low, on the Cental Wash ington railroad. Then five determln ed cltixen of Creston, hearing of hla presence there, took their rifle and revolver and went after him. They knew thlr busines and did It with out fllnchlns. When Tracy ran they hurt upon hi flank a a deer hound bump to a hunted deer. Sighting the men and securing hln rtfle, Tracy taught cover behind a haystack, es ediiln strtl rifle bullet. The posse then found cover behind a large rock, and for a while It looked like ft siege. Then Tracy broke for a largo boulder Ivlng on the, edge of a large wheat field, and thla dash waa hi undoing, for Just he came to the rock he fell forward, a rifle bullet having brok en hla leg, He plunged Into the wheat and hi bloody trail there shows the savage determination of :he nan. For after receiving thi wound, he crawled 75 yard on his hands and kns in or der to reach a spot that would Com mand th posse and enable him to pour hla merciless rifle fire upon them. But once only waa he able to fire from this vantage point, Then, weak med by the lose of blood, he tried to itaunch hla cruel wound, failed, and with hla revolver nt a bullet through hla brain, .. . ,. - By thla time dunk had fallen and the poase unaware of the seriousness of hla wound and fearing that hla al ienee waa Intended to lure them Into a deadly ambush, they posted them selves to prevent hla escape and pa tiently waited for daylight. During the night other came on the scene and lolhed In the cordon. At daylight they found the outlaw's body. None of the posse waa wounded, "though all of them had narrow escape. , .. . ' When they were firing from the cov er of their rock, they had to lift their heada above cover, and every time this was done Tracy's rifle rang out and ajsullet chipped the rock.
