EUGENE, May 22. Officers here are
busy trying to obtain some trace of

man who murdered Benton Tracy In

1 no clew ye-r. Ray had been in this
vieinHy only a few days, and reports
concerning his description vary so

the officers to get a reliable descrip
tion. Ray was in EVigene a few days
befora going to Junction City and a
few persona here "think they would
recognise him a.' sight: Nobody knows
Where he came from or where he calls
home, and for lhat nason It Is hard
telling, where to look for him. It Is
almost certain he went north from
Junction Immediately after the killing
of Tracy, and took the jallroad track
at least the bridge watchman on the
Harrisburg bridge saw a. man cross the
bridge shortly after, the time of the
shooting with his hat in his band and
seemingly in a great hurry- The watch
man spoke to him and tried to have
hint otop and talk, but he would: not
talk and hurried on as rapidly as pos
sible. Although there were no wit
nessea there seem to be no doubt in any
body's mind that Ray was the man
who did the shooting, but his capture
seem to be -impossible.
