TALE OF THE WATCH
The Journal Correspondent Re-
lates the Story in Detail.
VANCOUVER, Wash., June 17- a.
m. Tracy and Merrill have not yet been
taken, but to the burden of 'their,, crimes
has been added th serious perhaps fa
tal wounding of. two . persons, and
though it was not their hands "which
tired tha shots yet the fage of the peo
ple of this community has been kindled
afresh against them,, and when they
are at laat brought to bay a fearful re
venge Is likely to be taken, for the peo
ple consider that they are primarily re
sponsible. When Walter Lyon, secretary to Got.
Gear;, Low1 Wagner, ' of," Portland, and
. eputy Sheriff Sklpton, of Marion Coun
ty, took up their watch on a bridge ovef
Salmon Creek yesterday they ' had no
Idea that by night they- would have shed
Innocent blood. Right along a ridge of
timber leading down o the bridge on
which they took their stand they ex
pected tha convicts to come, and when
about 5 o'clock last evening they ob
served ' two men apparently hiding be
hind, a tree about (00 yards away they
thought the tlm had surely come for
. a brush with, tha .desperadoes.
WHEN THBY MADE MISTAKE.
They watched tha supposed convicts
closely and when they saw one of them
make a motion as though to aim his
gun all three tired at one and the same
moment vand tha man, dropped! to th
ground. His companion, however, in
stead ot tiring in return, Jumped up and
. waved a handkerchief, and then It waa
that tha Idea first occurred to them
that they bad probably shot down on
of their own manr-They-hurried to tha
spot and' discovered Billy Morris, .of
Vancouver, weltering In his blood with
-; his' thigh fractured by a ball.
CARED FOR HIM.
Without a moment's delay a chair
waa secured from a near-by farm house,
tha wounded man was carried tenderly
to a spring wagon and conveyed to tna
Providence Hospital in Vancouver,
where cwas-at once given surgical
attention, .it waa at first thought tha
closer examination showed that the bona
had been splintered by tha ball, and at
tha time ' ot writing It la aa yet lm-
poM1 i to- whether or not amputa

man was married and has small chil
dren dependent on him. :
The unfortunate members of tha poese

' TOO ' MANY- RUBBERNECKS.
In v reviewing the; situation yesterday
With Sheriff Marsh and Sheriff Cotton,
of Skamania County, who had Just ar
rived to take a hand, in the hunt The
Journal correspondent , dwelt briefly on
th lessons of th campaign to date,
and It : was unanimously, decided that
there have been too many rubbernecks
In ttie chase, . Accordingly a new plan
ot action' was formulated. In the first
placa It was the general opinion that
pnly by the merest accident could the
convicta. aver ;ba; caught wlthdut the
aid of bloodhounds,; tha density of the
brush rendering It absolutely impossible
to keep any trail without the dogs,' and
at the request of the Sheriffs The' Jour
nal man, communicated with .Governor
Geer on the matter, asking ' that he
"again endeavor to secure the dogs from
Warden Catron, of Walla Walla.
JOURNAL'S ELAN WENT.
Gov. Geer acquiesced In the plan and
at ence Wired. In due time the following
was received from him:

to the leaders of the hunt and they
being willtngGovernor Geer waa asked
to secure the dogs and to determine
th - proportion n which the reward
should, ba distributed In case of a cap-tura-
being . ,imad-,'"jV
NEW PLANS FORMED.
1 itwas decldeVlby the Sheriffs' that ths
plan of operations ia , today's chase,
should- b changed. Instead of idepnd-'
lng wholly 'upon the very - dubious method
of heading' the convicts ' It . was decided
to select -ten good men men who Would
fight to put the' dogs on the trail, and
to follow them Into the brush after the
murderers, com what may. This meth
od; will almost certainly, involve the loss
of soma days and perhaps of some men,
but It is 'though that the first shot
fired by the convicts at the hounds will
be the signal for. their doom, for the
posse will be so close behind that their
escape will be almost Impossible.
BLOODHOUNDS ARE COMING.
According to tje arrangements "blade
by Governor Geer the, bloodhounds lert
Wall Walla last night and should reach
Vancouver by 9 a. m. Every preparation
has been mad for their arrival, and
as soon as they are taken off the Columbia-River
ferry they will be placed
in a carriage and driven without a mo
ment'a delay to the Tiede house, four
miles north of the town, where the last
definite trace ot th men has been seen,
VANCOUVER, IN TURMOIL.
Never perhaps in th history of Van
couver, has the town been so excited
as yesterday and today. All day long
crowds- qf ' people thronged the streets
and every horseman or cyclist who came
from the' north was besieged with a
running nr or questions irom tna mo
men h entered the town till driven to
desperation he secreted himself in some
convenient hiding place.
But when the news came In that Mor
ris had been wounded rumor ran riot
The telephone' and telegraph, offices were
besieged 'with .-eager seekers after Infor
mation, and, everywhere the subject was
discussed pro and con In all its bear
ings. At Jflrst many - were disposed to
place blame on those who had fired
the shots , but a clearer understanding
of the situation made them change their
minds, and now almost everyone la dig
posed to think It . merely one. of those
regrettable , incidents 'which are almost
Inseparable from, such scenes aa have
been witnessed - her for the last few
days.. . ff"'.. , -"

Notwithstanding the fact that th au
thOriUes are " confident that Tracy and

the town no avenue ot escape waa left
