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

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.

POSSE'S HARD WORK

?Staff Correstwndence.)
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.

aiaih lii the effort-to evade their pur
suers, and Ime and ' agam blast or
Guard Carson's horn, was" needed to call
back the tco'-eager hounds.'
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

SALEM, June 19. Governor Geer has
been formally asked to embody In his
call for -a special session of the Legis

says In part:. ; .
"The committee "met yesterday after
noon and by. unanimous vote decided
to recommend to your Excellency the in
corporation of. SHCh provision in the call.
If one be issued, for a special session.
It is the Judgment of the committee that
better results, for , our Fair can be ob
tained from a special session where legis
lation, because of! shortness of time, will
naturally be restricted within certain
limits, than from a, regular session where
the Exposition's;' 'Interests will be ob
scured and perhaps 'defeated by a multl
ture of Issues demanding' attention.
OTHER STATES.
"Th preparation for the Lewis and
Clark CajStennlal Fair have s6 far pro
gressed that on of the next Important'
steps for Its management . to take will
be that of inviting our sister states .to
participate, and applying to their legis
latures for appropriations for the neces
sary exhibits. - If "the Oregon Legislature
will make an appropriation for the Lewis
and Clerk Centennial at a special ses
sion, we will b In position to go In
January, 1903, to the Legislatures of Cal
ifornia, Missouri,4 Washington, Montana,
Idaho, Utah and other Mates from which
we have reason 'to expect substantial
support, and having shown what
our own state bag done for- us. se
cure the enactment of legislation looking
toward the participation of those states
With the " subject disposed of at home
as early as practfcable, . we shall be free
to exert our energies Id quarters wher
they Will be most seeded, and thus ac
complish much for - the - welfare of th
community at largo, as well as advanc
ing the cause of our Fair."
GEER FAVORS IT.
Governor Geer was teen by The Jour
nal, and said:
"I am Inclined to think that, if a spe
cial session be held, the Lwis and Clark
Fair appropriation should receive atten
tion. I shall mace answer soon to the
committee's Jetter, when I will set forth
my views on the subject,
"I have not announced that a special
