In the State. Penitentiary here yesterday

The local police 'who have no Jurisdic
tion outside of the city limits are satis
fied, that they will soon be called upon
to chase the murderers down right hero
at home, as they, believe both men are
trying to-work their way into Portland.
Petectlve Henry Ford, who. is familiar
with nearly every foot of ground between
here, and Salens said .(his morning: r
"It would not surprise me in the least.
in fact. X rather look, for It, to see Tracy
and Merrill come right to: Portland if
they can avoid being. Intercepted. ' "
"wl have several reasons for thinking
they; will come -this - way. .One Is that
Tracy's mistress 1s: still the inmate of a
North End disorderly house.:. Besides, the.
murderers' friends, are ail here -and in
Vancouver, Wash.' -v. - . .

"Despite Detective Ford's statement
Some jof jtheJocal.iefficers who are ae
qualnted with, the, murderers arid their
post- operation in Portland, are gen
erally of the opinion that the. escapes
will give this, city a wide berth. In the
first place, they say, Portland la said? to

known as are Tracy and Merrill. Nearly

again with light hair. .The ruse worked
to a charm .trad served to throw - the
officers off their tijack for a long time..

possible. . ,.,, - i; ..."
Sheriff Fraser this morning; telephoned
many -of the .smaller towns between here

on the watch for the "convicts. Nearly
all. of the points reached, where the. men
W9iild.be.' likely, to pass, had already
been Informed of- "the flight' by officers;
from Salem, Sandy, Currtnavilte,. Eagle
Creek, Howell. Marquam and. Damascus,
have been communicated with. ;, . .
Should the escapes make .for. Barlow
pass going! eastward, they would , be
likely to follow, the Sandy, road. JOr they
could strike the path from Molalla.and
take the Oak Grove road over, the moun
tains. ' f ,
There are' numerous ways ,f- reaching
Portland. There's - the Boone's Ferry
road, 8holes Ferry road, leading from
Salem; or by' coming down the West side
of the river they, could reach Portland
by wajf of Buttevtlle. f -
Deputy Sheriff Horace Thielsen Is "of
the opinion that Tracey and Merrill -have
too much aense to come to Portland, not
withstanding 'that they ' are well ac
quainted with the . country about here.
He thinks that their start in the di
rection of Portland was made as a
blind; that after proceeding a. little way
In a certain direction, they will, make a
loop and go south.
Sheriff Frasier has not as yet sent
any of his deputies eut to run down the
fugitives, although in conjunction with
the city authorities a sharp ; lookout is
being kept about the city. ,i .y ; .. -
