"(Journal Special Servlce.l
SEATTLE, July T, E.- F. McKay, the
ex-Deputy Sheriff wha sent the first re
port Of Tracy's hold-Up 'at the Johnson
house to Sheriff Cudlhee 'yesterday, has
Just sent his report to the Sheriff. 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. She recog
nized the speaker as the man she had
see n before that day on the reservation.
The man was undoubtedly Tracy.
HEARD BIFLE SHOTS.
"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.

"Twenty men well armed have just left

How Tracy Escaped.
(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,

Tracy appeared at 2 p. tn. on Satur
day about two Indies north of here. He
llrst confronted John Anderson, a farm
laborer, in the woods, capturing him at
the point of a rifle and compelled him to
lead the way to John Johnson's home op
posite Port Madison.
MHS. 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.

CHICAGO, July 7. Every union freight

tying up all traffic, not only in Chicago,
but at every point throughout the United

a number of early, morning conferences

without result other than to Impel the is

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."
