IS NOT SO GREAT AS
WAS THOUGHT AT FIRST.
Barley Is Principal Sufferer, Early
Wheat A!?9 Being Damaged to
Some Extent.
The damage done to Umatilla
county farmers by the wind of Mon
day evening is not so large, taking
the country over, as some were wont
to give it yesterday.
Estimates from those who have
been pver the field and taken close
observations of the damage give the
total loss in the county as being 10
per cent Most of this is in the ear
lier portions of the county. In the
Helix, Weston and Adams country
mue damage has been done. In
fact, the only noticeable damage any-
wnere is where the wheat Is ripe.
and to barley.
Damage Near "Fulton.
Mel Shutrum; who is in town from
Fulton, says some grain is badly
damaged in that section. He has a
field of barley that will harvest at
least one-third less than it would
had the Btorm not come. Other
grain is damaged more or less.
Horace Walker is in town from
Helix. He says damage is small to
grain in that section, although the
fruit crop has suffered.
John Dand is in town from north
east of town, and says damage is
quite perceptible in his section in
some fields, but is hot general. Bar
ley has been the principal sufferer.
Louis Hagen, ' north of town, will
harvest a large barley crop which
will be 10 to 15 bushels short to the
acre.
Fruit Suffered.
From all sections comes the re
port that fruit has heen -knocked
from the trees. Some go so far as to
assert that the apple and pear crops
will be almost one-half short be
cause of the Btorm. In other ..places

Seattle, juiy 1(5. The latest story of the appearance of Tracy at
uamners Monday, is fully confirmed. The outlaw appeared at tho farm
er's home near Enumclaw, entered the house and forced tho family to
provide a meal. He seemed to be in excellent health and spirits and pro
tended to be extremely careless.
He forced Gardner's boy to shave a two weeks' beard from his faco,
meanwhile holding a gun on him. Ho also took a pair,. of trousers, pay

It Is Surely Merrill.
Tho inquest this morning at Chehalls makes it almost posltlvo that
the body found there is that of Merrill. There is no ouestlon In tho of-

Portland, July 16. The Inquest them are innocent farmers or cheap
this morning at Chehalls, determines Ss
to the officers that the body found
is that of Dave Merrill.
Additional details of the Gardner
hold-up Monday show that Tracy had
two hundred rounds of ammunition
and two revolvers. Ho held a gun
on the boy when being shavod, and
said:
"I can shoot you before I die if
you try to cut my throat."
He also said: "Tell the reporters
that I am well, strong and cheerful;
am not worried and could have kill

"I have on many occasions talked
with them on the roadsides. Some
of them are pretty good fellows.
Whenever I have seen men who look

When Tracy got tho trousers ho
paid $1, saying: "You're a poor man,
so I won't rob you. I wish I could
pay more. If the deputies had any
money I might hold somo ot them
up."
Tracy also, Bald: "Toll tho papers
