' ' POSSES CLOSING IN.
SEATTLE. July 11. From two sides of
the creek, above Covington the posses
are closing in. They believe Tracy is
between them. The hounds failed to fal
low the scent, although it la known . to
have been made by Tracy, and the
guards say the ground la too dry. v
Tracy met a girl and boy last night
and asked the road to Palmer, and also
which one ltd to Seattle.- He appeared
to,,., be In bid shape, and hi wonderful
nerve seems to be gradually breaking un
der the strain. For the first time since
his escape he now has the appearance of
a hunted animal. '
Rumors which were received at nooa
that be. had been seen again near Kent
proved to be wltHout foundation.
Merrill la reported to have been seen
five miles above where Tracy is suppose
to be, but the officers are unable to con
firm the report.
The Sheriff' posse Is now better se
lected than ever before, and la expected
to do effective work. "

Michael Dolan, of Auburn, who Is uni
versally acknowledged to be a clear-headed

last night that the railroads were willing
to abrttrate. the freight handlers having
agreed to abide by any decision arrived at
by a looal board of arbitration, but up to

Thev say that when Tracy passed them
he was walking slowly along-th county
road In the direction of Covington. ie
appeared to be tired and almost worn out.
The first thing that drew their attention
was the peculiar way In which he walked
with a .nrt nf limn buf OB B OlOSef VlSW
they discovered that the cause ; of his
strange gait was that he was carrying his
rifle slung in the right leg of his trousers,

After passing the young ladiss. Tracy
muiit have made, straight for Covington,
us a dispatch sent from Auburn at 1:19 a.
m.,, by J. A. Bunce, says:
"Members of the Sheriffs posse
f exchanged shots with Tracy a few
miles west of Covington at 11:40
p. m. He has been chased into
-f the brush and the bounds are
needed at once."
TRACY IN A TRAP.
The dog were sent out early this morn,
lng and by the time day break mill be on
the spot where Tracy was last Seen ready
to take up what all hope will be the des
perado's last. trail. The escape of Ihe
outlaw now seems Impossible. Il In en
closed In a rough, triangular 1'lece of
country at the apex of which, towaid 'he
north, Is Black River Junction. The wt
line of the enclosure Is the llns of the
Peattle-Tex-oma railroad, the eastern Urn;
s the branch line from Black River Junc
tion to Black Diamond and the base 1
formed by the Green River.
Every yard of these lines Is supposed t"
be now under surveillance and It is
thought that at last the murderer has
been taken In a net from which there Is
no esrujK'.
THE SHERIFF'S PLAN.
Tracy. It is thought by Sheriff Cudlhee,
Is at present concealed on a slight emi
nence near Covington and it. is believed
that, worn out from loss of sleep, the
outlaw has decided to make his last
stand. The place where he Is believed to
be has be?n carefully surrounded and. at
a given signal a general advance will be
made, when it Is hoped that at last the
lonfi chase will end.

NO SELECTION TODAY
Probable That Fair Site Question
Will Be Postponed.
The probability is that the executive committee of the Lewis and Clark
Fair will not make a selection of. the site this afternoon, as was
anticipated. . v
'There are two reasons why a postponement of action Is urged. The
offer of the Ladd tract adjoining Hawthorne Park for a site has caused a
change of sentiment In Its favor, end some of the committee desire more
time to consider It. President H. W. Corbett is out of the city, and Vice
President II. W. Scott Is attending the Chautauqua session today, so that
the committee feels that it would not be proper to make a selection In the
absence of these officials.
Ine offer of the Ladd estate has put a new phase on the site question,
and Is likely that If a postponement Is had the merits of the location
will be thoroughly gone Into by the committee, though It Is certain that
all the members' of the subcommittee will not Change their views. A. L.
Mills still favors the City Park- above all otheD sites, regardless of the
Ladd offer, and It Is not likely that he will change - his opinion. Mr. '
Mills, however, thinks a postponement of the selection . Is advisable,
In view of the absence of Messrs. Corbett and Scott.

f
two sides the officers sre chasing the
fugitive Tracy and except to close in
above Covington. The hounds, which this
morning worked poorly, have suddenly
shown Blgns of a hot trail, and for three
hours have stedlly pursued their way.
Showing no pause.
' This leads Sheriff Cudlhee to believe
they are close on Tracy, and that the
end la near. The belief that the fu
gitive is now doubling back toward the
Green River bridge, near the mouth of
Sluice Creek led Sheriff Cudlhee to place
a large posse there under Sheriff Tim
merman, of Snohomish, to .guard all ap
proaches. A report received that a wom
an has been held '.p by a man answering
Merrill's description, five miles from
where Tracy Is now supposed to be, leads
to the belief that the convicts ere try
ing to Join forces. Beyond Tracy and
to the left is a large tract of virgin
forest eight miles across. Could he pass
the posse and gain It he would find a
sequestered place where he could secure
the rest which he evidently needs badly.
