He says: "I have Just received definite informa tion as to Tracy's whereabouts from an Indian woman of the. Port Madison In dian reservation. She told me that sev eral times yesterday she met Tracy In company" with another man on the reser vation. . She described the convict accu rately, telling about his corduroy trou sers, blue sack coat, hard features of face, etc There can be no mistake as to the convict's identity, as the Indian wo man had not known of the Tracy episode at Port Madison. . "The Indian woman said that at night fall yesterday, when she was accompa nied by her boy, comcing- from the reser vation to Cape Horn, two miles west,of Port Madison, she saw the two men. sit ting on a fallen log, and that they asked her if she had seen any men with guns over toward the reservation.

"About 4 o'clock this morning, she said, she heard many rifle shots near her house at Cape Horn. I believe that Tracy and Anderson sank their boat and then mado across the country to the reservation ; also that Tracy was pursued yesterday by some person,- and that this accounts for the questions he aBked.

(Journal Special Service.) t SEATTLE, July t-Just what caused the escaped convict Tracy to desert his cache of provisions at the old cabin on Squawk--Slough has not yet been deter mined. "It is thought, hoewver, that Ihe wily desperado on Friday night discov ered that an ambush had been laid and quietly made his way across country to salt water. His own story told at the Johnson house at Port Madison on Sat urday is told by Mrs. Johnson. She says: "The outlaw said that after he had left the Squawk Slough cabin he doubled back on his tracks to Fisher's place, and after getting a dry dutflt, had beat across the wild country to the bluff back of Meadow Point. At that place he rested, intending to wait until a chance present ed Itself, when he could Impress some fisherman Into his service, and. proceed across the Sound. Friday night, just at dusk, he saw a Japanese fisherman land at Meadow Point. He made for the spot, and ordered the man, at the point of a reyofver, to get Into hl boat. Tracy said he had a hard time making the Jap understand him,' but he frightened him Into obeying his order. "Tracy said he pushed off the boat him self, and as a good off-shore breese was blowing, he set the little mutton-chop sail and steered for Port Madison. The convict said he arrived about two miles above the place in the early morning, dismissed the Tap with Instructions not to guv n wnnl dn thp Yiorll ft f K la Wfa nnA men went deck into tne woods ana slept until noon. . . , ...a Port Madison Hold-Up.

JOHNSON'S STORY. Mrs. Johnson tells the story a follows: "At about 2 o'clock on Saturday after noon our hired man came In the door, followed by another man with a rifle. .'My God!' I exclaimed, 'Is this Tracy!" 'Tee. lady, that's my name,' the stranger responded. 'I want something to eat, quick.' Tracy then told Anderson to sit down, at the sametime laying his rifle on the table. I got him some eggs, bread and butter. Just as he finished eating my husband came up to the house. Seeing Tracy he asked, 'What Is the matter?' I said, 'I am a prisoner.' Tratcy made him sit down,. TOOK NINE DOLLARS. "A few minutes later Tracy made us go with him and search the house, taking $9 In silver, a pair of new shoes and two hats. Healso took a suit of clothe be longing to Anderson. ' -"Later he took a foot bath. ' "Ha stayed with us fully six tours. Af ter I had given him his supper he BOUND AND GAGGED us, but with much care and considera tion for out feelings. He bound me to one bed, my husband to another and my son to a lounge in the dining room. He .used gentlemanly language and said he re gretted the necessity, etc . . Later he changed bis manner and became savage, saying that If It were not for the boy he WOULD BURN THE HOUSE, and us with iti Later we found a bundle of shavings against the building. "Anderson, the hired man, who had been compelled to watch the binding and gagging operation, was then ordered to march out by Tracy, who followed, carry ing the hired man's coat, also another bundle and a valUe filled wltht provisions, which the gathered up." Anderson has not been seen or heard of since. Many believe that Tracy has mur dered him. Merrill at Steilacooru, (Journal Special Service.) SEATTLE, July 7.

(Scrlpps-McRae News Association.) CHICAGO, July 7. Every union freight handler in Chicago struck this morning, tying up all traffic, not only in Chicago, but at every point throughout the United States for wlvtoh Chicago is the distribut ing center. The strike was ordered after a number of early, morning conferences between the representatives of the union and the railroads. The conferences were without result other than to Impel the is suance of the strike order. The police reserves have been ordered to hold them selves In readiness for- trouble,, and squads have been sent to guard all the freight houses. - 11 mm M OB Sflf Former Drivers Yet Ac tivein Inducing Men to Quit. The strike against the Banfield-Veysey Company seems to be proceeding along the saw a lines as It did prior to the issu ance of the restraining order which was granted by Judge Frazur Saturday. The employes profens to be doubtful as to whether or not an Injunction hus been granted. If such a proceeding has been taken they say that they have not beeu apprised of. the fact. No one has served any papers on them, they claim. E. Tooley, business agent of the Fuel Teams ters, says that he Inquired of the Sheriff concerning the matter and ' that official replied that he knew nothing about it. it is quite probable, however, that the general change in the municipal adminis tration has deferred the action of) serving the papers. ' The men'are still continuing their policy of trying to Induce all the new men to quit the Banfleld-Veysey Company. But they emphatloaliy deny the charge as set forth In the published injunction that they have used any violence In attaining their ends. ' It Is all a deliberately manufactured yarn," they say, "about our throwing stones, opening end gates or using any intimidation whatever. We have con ducted ourselves peaceably, and have done nothing more than to ask the men to quit." Mr. Banfleld says that all his teams are working today, and that he expects no boycott Is having any perceptible effect, he been taken Into court. He reports that the company is delivering between 300 and 400 cords of wood per day. Asked If the bycott is having any perceptible effect, he replied: "No, not yet, but It may eventually. 'But that will make no difference. If we do not deliver five cords of wood a day, we will never employ another union man. We are through with them for) good."
