II FEARFUL AFFAIR THE CAMBRIA MINE HORROR BECOMES MORE HORRIBLE. List of Dead Recovered Reaches 124, . With 27,. Chambers In the try Heart of the Explosion Yet to Be Searched. Johnstown, Pa., July 12. 'After IB hours of continuous exploration of the Klondike section of the Cambria mine, the company officials announce that the main headings have all been penetrated. The known dead list reaches 124, with a possibility of a few bodies be ing still in out of the way places in the mine. At 3 o'clock this morning 15 more bodies were brought up. Concealing True Extent Thn ceneral belief here is that the mine officials are trying to concetl the full enormity of the disaster. It 1b thoUEht the llBt of dead win be over 200. This Is the opinion bas ed on the fact that Z7 rooms in me heart of the explosion district have not yet been explored, and it is known that men were employed In these rooms when the explosion oc curred. It is feared that the explosion cen ter Drorer has not yet been reachec and that more grewsome finds arc yet to be made. Fifty of the victims were buried this morning. Survivors Are Dying.

Convict is Still Ahead of the - Posse, and There Seems Little Chance of Their Catching Up for a While. Seattle, July 12. The officers believed now, from' the bloodhounds' course, that Tracy has made a detou r to reach Franklin, nine miles from last night's hold-up, where he has two .relatives. The chase continues, but slower than yesterday. Seattle, July 12. The center of the Tracy pursuit has moved to Ravens dale, 30 miles from here. The hounds worked last night in the edge of the swamp at Ginters Flats, where it is believed the fugitive slept. This morning the posse commenc ed to work around the edge of the swamp and the hounds, followed by 20 expert woodsmen, picked up the scent at the edge of a small pond. Hounds Were Useless. The hounds were entirely at a loss in the swamp. Before the trail vas refound an aged farmer named Frank Protot arrived and said Tracy came to his house, nine miles from Auburn, having doubled back through his pursuers at 6 oclock last evening. iie maue itoioi enier uiu uuuso uuu 1 have .his wife cook food for the des perado. While Tracy was there the posse passed the house. Tracy covered the leader with his rifle, but the officers passed. The convict showed the farmer a badly swollen leg and said that dur ing the chase rheumatism had almost killed him. He remained two hours and threat ened Protot so he was afraid and gave no alarm until morning. Tracy then plunged into the forest in an opposite direction to the posse and headed back toward Seattle. IS TRACY BEWITCHED? Superstitious Believe Him Protected by "Black Art." Seattle. Julv 12. Does Tracy bear a charmed life? Is some supernatur al power ever present with him? If not, then why does ho have such phenomenal escapes from tho numer ous posses, militia, revenue cutters, launches, tugs, etc.? There are many people In Seattle who have expressed their belief that Tracy was in some manner aided by spirits or some omnl-present psychi cal power. They cannot otherwise explain the many narrow escapes he has had from his pursuers. There Is a man in Seattle who, according to his own story, pulled his rifle trigger four times, having a perfect bead on Tracy's head, but each time the weapon refused t) work. "That," Bald he, "could not happen unless some mysterious force was with Tra cy, even protecting' him from the men who have been hounding him since he left the Salem prison." "But," argued the writer, "might that not be due to some fault of the fire arm?" "well," he replie, "it is possi ble, but with what I already believe SAID THAT TRACY IS ORGANIZING It is now declared that Tracy and Merrill are engaged in organizing an outlaw band which will terrorize the country in much the same manner as the James and Younger bands over awed Kansas In the early days. There are now in the vicinity of Seattle no fewer than eix hardened criminals, nearly all being murder ers, who will certainly Join this band, w'-Jle many others would flock to Tracy's standard and fight bard in the cause of outlawry. Ex-convicts would Join because they are wanted and others would Join for the notoriety of belonging to such a noted gang of desperadoes. After effecting the prganizatlon, Tracy will be the head of the most desperate band ever organized in the West This is providing he Is not killed within a few days. New Plans of the Gang. The belief is once the gang' Is or ganized, the five or six men In the crowd will "head over the mountains relative to unknown forces of tho oc cult world, I am firmly convinced that Tracy bears a chnrmcd llfo. So firmly am I of the opinion that I have determined never to go out aftor him again. I prophecy that Tracy will never die by bullet, and also I venture to say ho will not bo captured by tho officers." The speaker said he know of othors who thought as ho did, and that thoro were still others who wero almost ready to bellevo that such was tho case. Tracy's Narrow Escape. Fuller details now avallablo re garding tho fight between Tracy and the deputies reported In yesterday's dispatches to have occurred at mid night Thursday, go to show that tho convict has had another ot his mar velouB "escapes." About midnight of Thursday Tracy arrived at tho plant of tho Covington Sawmill Company, ono mllo from Cov ington, where Deputy Sheriffs J. A Bunce, F. C. Bunce, Galvlu and Crowo were stationed. The deputies were posted in a rail road cut quietly waiting develop ments, 'when they heard some ono comlug'from the direction of Auburn They waited till the unknown was very closo when they ordered him to halt. Tracy stopped and In answer to a question said, "my name Is Ander son," and at once started to run when the Buncos, who ' had accosted him, opened fire, but without result. A few yards farther on Crowo call ed out to an unknown man, to which the fleeing murderer cooly replied "a deputy," and at once opened fire at closo range. Tracy then at once plunged Into the brush, and disap peared. Note to Posse. A note left by Convict Tracy and addressed to the posse and others who are pursuing him, has been found near Green River, which reads as follows: "Notice. To whom it may concern: On tho 8th day of July, I, the Bald convict, Henry Tracy, stayod at Black Diamond on my way to Pal mer, where I hope to boo somo of your fortune seekers. Now, they may as wel cut thlB out first as last. Yours sincerely, "HENRY TRACY." Mr. Eycrley, who found tho note, measured the tracks and found thon to bo about a No. 6 shoo. Tracy was married at Palmer a few years ago and has many friends and rolatlvos there. AN OUTLAW BAND Into Eastern Oregon by way of some old trails, and may even get into the i.niA-in.thrvWall of Montana, whore Tracy will endeavor to mako himself master over the cutthroats known 10 Infest that section. While these statements may ap pear far-fetched, there 1b back of It good authority for tho assertions. Merrill Helping Tracy. Further credence Is given this story by the fact that it Is now es tablished beyond possibility of a doubt that Tracy is receiving Inval uable assistance from outside parties in making his escape, and It is also practically certain that these parties are being directed by Merrill and Mrs. Tracy, his sister. It Is claimed that Merrill bas been seen and rec ognized several times In Seattle and that one of bis accomplices purchas ed 1000 rounds of cartridges for Tra v' now celebrated 20-30 and that be Js being supplied with these as they are needed.
