H was a brother-in-law of Sheriff Jack Hubbard of Spokane," who was killed in a similar manner" several years, ago. Hubbard had arrested out laws wanted in Missouri and was on his way to Spokane with them in a carriage when some friend of the prisoner opened fire from behind, killing Hubbard and one '''' of the prisoners. .' ; ..

Their prison num bers ware, respectively, 4088 and 4089. , Tracey in partleular is said to-be a des perate character, he having killed an of ficer ln Colorado some years ago. Both are hardened criminals, who will fight tp the deatts before surrender. Tracey fand Mernl Attempted iMurderofi Local rQflRcers. CONVICT SHOT. BALEM, June (U a. m.). At this hour the posse of men are hot on, the track of the escaping convicts and may over take them at any time, when it I ex pected a bloody battle will ensue. When the. first shot was fifed at Guard Ferrell In the foundry shop, - Ingram, a convict who Is serving a life sentence for the murder of his toother in Linn Coun ty in 1891. attempted to wrest away the rifle with w Won Tracey fired the fatal shot, but was shot by Merrill In the leg, shattering the limb so badly that It ha been amputated'by the prison physician. One of the rffle taken from the guards who were killed on the wall was thrown away by the escaping convicts when they discovered that It was empty. ' ' The killing of three guards at the Ore gon penitentiary, and the escape of the murderous convicts, Harry Tracey and Dave Merrill, created no little excitement about the Courthouse this morning when Sheriff Fraxier received the news from Sheriff Durbln of Marion County. The fatal "onslaught upon the penitent tlary guards' recalted the daring attempt that' the same two fugitives made to es cape from the County Jail here previ ous to their commitment to the stats in stitution. Merrill and Tracey had been tried and found guilty of burglary. Jailer Dougherty and Deputy Sher iff Tom Jordan were In the act of reinov tngfhe two priieAfts from thelrells to the courtroom above to receive sentence. The Jailer preceded ' Jordan; a little, and he had no sooner opened the cell door and admitted the men Into the open cor ridor than Tracey quickly pulled a gun on Dougherty and fired. The bullet went high, as Dougherty fell quickly to his knee. Before Tracey could force Dough erty to give up the keys to the other door, Tom Joiplan covered him, and the desperado threw up' his hands. The at tempted outbreak cost Tracey dearly, a hi sentence was increased to 20 years, while Merrill got off with 13. Tracey had secured a revolver from hi wife, who had secreted It In her dress. In speaking - of Merrill and Tracey, and the likelihood of their capture this mora ing, Deputy 'sheriff Mathews said: Th men are desperate characters, and they will not likely be taken alive. They are the moot dangerous men that the Multnomah County authorities have had to deal with in fact, they are as bad a they make thwn.'f; Detective Dan Wclner, while arresting. Merrill and Tracey, was shot at and had a narrow escape fromeing killed. The men have a bad: record. Which ex. tends back for a number of years. Mer rill formerly served three year in the Oregon penitentiary for robbing a car in this cityt After his release, he left the fcguntry and ' showed - up - again with, Tracey, and the two started out on their career of crime. They were sentenced to the penitentiary March 2271899., :.,.. '. A reward of $1000 has been offered for the . capture of the fugitives. Jt is said that this amount will be increased to $2000 before the day is over. The reward Is considered none too large, as the fugi tives are both known to be dead shotsT They are welt armed, and are expected to fight for their Uvea, sparine no on in" their effort to get out' of the country. It is expected by. soma that they will steal' horses and make for Barlow Pass, going tottwerd. Dfirc tini on ids LONDON. June I. The following wire wa received from Lord Kitchener to day: .
