VANCOUVER, June MU-U p. m.)-Th trait of th outlaws, Tracy and Merrill, has been struck again. At noon today, a young: farmer napied Torgerson, arrived in -this city with too news, and again every 'man woman and child has been thrown into a fever of excitement Posses re belnff armed and dispatched to th dew scene of action- without the loss of a moment. Guard Canon, who has . been waiting- for news at Woodland, with his bloodhounds, la already on the -way to take up the chase which Is this' time likely to end more satisfactorily. it TORaBRSON'S BTORT. ' On being Questioned about the report that the outlaws had breakfast at his father's place this morning, young Tor gerson sairfi .. "About 9 o'clock this morn ing when I wa In tb house with' the . rent of the family, two men with short growth of beard on their faoe and car rying rifles, appeared at th door and de manded something to eat. . They looked tired and dirty and were evidently nearly worn out. They cam Into the house and mother gave them some breakfast. We all knew them at once, having seen their pictures both In the papers and on, the reward notices posted around the coun try, but as we were not prepared for them, we had to give them something. Am I sure they were Tracy and Merrill? Certainly I am. I would know them any where. There is no possibility of a mis take. BACK TO THE BRtJSH.' "Just as!, soon as they had got some fooS they started again into the' brush. first looking oarefaUy.strpttnd .to see Jblf, no- on Was near who had' guns and Just as soon as they had disappeared I jump ed on my bicycle and rode for Vancouver as fast as I could to give th news to ' Bhertff Marsh. "While they were eating they kept up a close watch all around and seemed to be afraid that they would be caught. I don't think either of them (was wounded, but thejr looked very tried and were all scratched up from going through the brush." MARSH ACTED QUICKLY. Immediately upon receipt of the news Sheriff .Marsh 'phoned to Guard Carson at Woodland. telling' him to rush his bloodhounds to the scene of action and also' sent word -to Sheriff Huntington of Cowlita County, who is guarding th fords of the Lewis River above and below La Center, to Increase the vigilance of his men. Then, gathering together a few trusty .men, Sheriff Marsh started out pothate on th3new trail. WHERE THE CONVICTS ARE. V - The convicts are now at a point about four miles north of the Salmon Creek bridge, the scene of their battle of "Mon day" night, , when they nearly killed Bie secker and fatally wounded , his' horse. It Is evident that having found the fords of the Lewis River strictly guarded, or, as IS also probale, having become ' turned around in the brush, they are taking th back track; hoping to escape In a wester ly direction. It may be that they are striking back, for the Columbia. What ever tbelr plaW it Is certain that there is row a betteit ekance of thel capture than there has been sine the morning on which they rifled Henry Tiede's ' cabin.

LA CNTBftWaah June 14-Af U$ a day of the hardest kind of work the posse in pursuit of Tracy and, Merrill reached La Center only about, an hour ahead of the convicts and hop is high that the race of the desperadoes is nearly run. When the posse with the bloodhounds arrived at Salmon Creek bridge, consider able difficulty was experienced in picking up the. trail,; as at that place the con victs had stuck to the roads, the dusty surface of which was very bad for scent ing. After some delay the place was found where the fugitives had made their stand against Bteseckev and Davidson the night before and drop of blood on the tones showed where the hots of ths con victs had told. A few empty sheila wr also picked Up at this place and the dogs were at once set upon the trail, which was followed partly In this way and part ly by tracing the steps of the convicts In the. deep dust for. nearly "three miles. ' On coming, to a cool, dark side road which led Intoi.the brush the trail was found to be fresh, the dogs sprang for ward, baying at every bound, and within a few seconds nearly every man In the posse was after ihem on a hard tun. Through brush and over logs they went, and hard ph. their heels came the man hunters, everyone expecting that the end was near at hand. ; t VPf kip COUNTRY. .It was but ahort time, however, until more onen country was reached and the dogs became confused and lost the scent.

This sound It was that must have start led the murderers for when the posse had become satisfied that their prey was gone and had started for La Center, thpy found that the. convicts had again escaped and securing-a-, team, of .heavy horses had taken ths military road to La Center. . Inquiry along, the road developed the fact that the family of Andrew Nlcholsdn bad seen. . the two men pass their farm j house about four miles rrom ia tenter. Their description of th men with stubby beards, overalls and one man- wearing a felt hat and the other a cap rendered It impossible - that any mistake had been made, and once again the Sheriff's posse started on then" hunt.' t At the tore a short distance up the road the teams, which had been aban doned on entering the brush, were again met with, and waiting only long enough to refill their now-empty stomachs with a meal which was strictly impromptu, the posse dashed on again for La Center. CONVICTS HAD LEFT. 1 Arriving, there it was found -that the m,ark had been overshot, a telephone mea saVe being shortly received which stateJ that the convicts had left the main road about a mile from the town, and taking a side road had struck out east pasi Pio neer school house, and were evidently making lor th shallow upper reaches of. the Lewis River, with the Intention of crossing ther and continuing along their generally northwest line of flight. Sheriff Marsh immediately detailed a number of men to proceed in that direc tion, part" on .the east; and Prt on the west side of. the river, the' former to tak up the trace, and the latter to endeavor to head oft-th desperadoes, The blood-. hounds, wltli tGuard Carson, were left at La Center to await, Information and as soon a the convicts are known to have left thelf horses.
