The story of the outlaw's latest esca
pade renders it no longer a Question of
4ouht that he Is a man of clear brain
and Indomitable will, ' and this new
glimpse of his character: makes . it onoe
more look as though hs deeds of blood

While Sheriff Cudlhee and his poises
Of man-hunters were, yesterday closing In
on a swamp near. Black Diamond in a
northwesterly direction, the desperado
had r coolly back-tracked toward Seattle
and at the very , time the hopes of his
pursuers were highest he was rapidly
putting miles of swamp and forest be
tween him and his foes.
ANOTHER DARINO HOLD-TOP.
The first news of this latest feature of
the ohase was sent to 8eattle by a far
mer named Kay, who lives near Auburn,
- and created no Mttle excitement. Ac
cording to his story, Tracy may at this
moment be in Seattle, for at about 10
o'clock last night he left the farm of one
Plopot, nine miles from Auburn, with the
declared Intention of returning to this
city.
The story told by Plopot more than any
other incident of the chose illustrates the
daring of the desperado, as it also does
his remarkable acuteness. ,
PIOPOTS STORY.
The story told by Plopot reads like the
fantastic creation of some romancer's
ora.in. jtte says:
"At about o'clock last evenmgSrlmtf

'Another addition was made yesterday
afternoon to the long list of accidents
. which have made the P. C. A O. Rail
way Company notorious.
As a result of the last accident Mrs.
. Rhlneoart, of Oak Grove, is lying at her
home suffering from severe bruises and
cuts about, the. head and body.
At about 2:30 in the afternoon the
construction and a passenger car met at
full; speed on' a straight track, near Or
chard CurVe, - and a head-end collision
followed. The motormen jumped and
saved their lives. The care came to
gether with terrlflo force, the' construc
tion car being made a total wreck and
the ether badly shattered.
Fortunately there were but few pas
aangers 'aboard, or : there would have
been several lives lost As It was, alt
were, badly shaken m and for awhile
the air fairly became blue with denun
ciations jpoured down upon the heads of
the management of the road. Those
who escaped uninjured expressed their
disgust of the entire system and pro
ceeded to walk to Portland, censuring
themselves for placing.-their lives In
jeopardy by patronizing such ' a road.
They made a vow that they would never
do so again under such management '

the Ill-fated passenger car, and when

"While, she was preparing a meal fo
him I said: 'Tracy,. I thought you were
away over near Palmer. ; How did you
get herer ' ,
" 'Why,' he said, that was easy. When
they. ratt me into that swamp near Black
Diamond I dodged around in the brush
for a little .while, "theh circled ground
and struck my own tracks away 'back
where I was sure the posse had passed.
Then I Just, walked back along my own
tracks to? about five miles. I guess I
fooled their dd dogs all right, eh?'
and hs laugher heartily. 'They haven't
got any dogs in this country that can
catch me. It was mighty hard,, traveling,
though,' he said. '.I guess I must have
covered pretty near 40 miles since last
night Thursday, and I have got a pretty
bad leg here. '
MIGHT BE- A WOUND.
"He then pulled up the leg of his pants
and showed us where his leg was all
swollen up below the knee. It looked as
though It had been wounded, but he ex
plained it by saying, 'tou see. It's pretty
hard on a man lying out In the bush at
nlghtg as I have been doing. I have been
troubled with rheumatism a good deal for
the last few day and I guess the amount

"I should think we had been talking for
nearly three hours it must have been
about 9 o'clock when Tracy,, who was
looking out of the window, said, 'D- n
Itl .There's,- posse now,' . and sure
enough, whenI looked out, there was a
posse, headed by Deputy 8herlff Fred
Berner Just walking past the house. .

Tracy didn't seem to be scared much.
He pulled a revolver out of his pocket
and laid It on the,, table beside him, all
the time keeping a bead 6n Berner, whom
he could have killed as easy as anything.
Then he turned around to me and said,
'See here, old people, there's going to be

there'll be bujlets flying here pretty dd

"Of course, I was badly scared, as was
my wue, ana we did what be told us.
For about 10 minutes we lay under that
bed, too frightened to move or breathe,
when he came back and said, 'It's all
right now. Those fools have gone on and
It's a j good thing for some of them that
they minded their own business. Now,
come' on out of there and get me that
grub. I guess It's about time for me to
be moving.'
WANTED A HORSE.
"I think it must have been about 10
o'clock by this time. Tracy then told me
he wanted a horse to get to Buckley. I
told him I had no horse, but he wouldn't
believe me and made me 'take him out to
the barn and show blm that what I had
said was the truth. He then told me that
if I said anything about him being there
he would come back and kill both me and

Police
and Parents Prevented
the Match.
Miss Annie Simon, daughter of Joseph
Simon, a junkdealer, ,was on the point
of wedding a negro named Waters last
Thursday when the police took a hand
and nipped the affair in the bud.
Miss Simon is a comely young woman,
of age, and should know her own mind.
Last Thursday the police became
aware that she and Walters had planned
to go to Vancouver and be married. No
time was lost in ) Informing the father
and a brother of the contemplated move,
and the couple were foiled.
Miss Simon had Just left th house
when her relatives learned of her inten
tions. Then her father and 'a brother
found her as she was about to meet the
colored man. She was escorted to the
police station by her relatives.' The
police had already taken Walters into
custody. ...
' Then the father of the foolish girl and
the authorities were In a quandary as to
the best way out of a bad mess. No
legal charge could b brought against
either of the captives The girl was of
age, and if she wanted to marry the
negro, she could not legally be pre
vented from doing so. .
Finally negotiations . were opened tip
with Walters, and -he agreed to leave
town. The girl's' relatives furnished
him with a through ticket to New Tork
and, with a police escort no the train,
he departed that night. It was hoped
that the young woman's mad infatua
tion will thus be broken. -
