After leaving the prison, the convicts
were last seen follewtng up 'the course
of MU1 Creek, from where it is thought
they have' struck for the "tall timber la
the Waldo hills, their evident intention
" r
being to reach the mountains.
As soon as the remaining prisoner had

Hie way In -which Tracey and Merrill
first secured the gun with -which Fer

at first a mystery,, but: the fact that
many . of . the , excursionist who visited

Guard Jones ' has several -relative In
Portland. 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

The escaped ''prisoners' are Harry

Multnomah County for assault and rob
bery, and David Merrill, serving 13 years
for the same crime. Their prison num
bers ware, respectively, 4088 and 4089.

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.
