ioung TargerHon nayi the onvlcts
- came to him in a field near his father's

Jeans trousers, a blue woolen shirt ahd
a knit cap. : The other wore striped
irousers. a blue coat and a light cam
paign hat. Both carried rifles- and re

The boy, called to his father and
. mother at, the house, who told the vis
itors they had no .bacon or flour to
upare, but were Just at the point of
Heading- to Vancouver Tor - a supply.
. . Tageron,- SrJ asked the men . where
th-y were bound for, and one replied
- they were out looking for the escaped
convicts. They then asked the dis
tance to Vancouver and left the place,
going into the brush ill the direction
whence they camo. .'
Kxclwnwnt here over the man hunt,
which has been on fhewane for the
... .pat few days, was, renewed on receipt
df this fresh clew,;
A circumstance, which proves almost
b'nd question that the men reported
to hve beri seen to xass Pioneer "on
Jiorwba k on Tuesday were not Tracy
or Merrill, occurred Just before the
sheriff ami fxtsse left here; for the Tar
Krson. place. A farmer named Ayers,
who lives near' Pioneer,, came to Van
couver about noon and declared , that
the horsemen iakeri 'for outlaws on
Tuesday,- were ifyers' father-lnrJaw, a
. Mr. Shlvely. and a companion, who left
home Tuesday forenoon 'to take up tim
; br "claims: back of Lewlsvtlle. Ayers
d.d'nptiearn until this morning,' when
Shlvely 'and his conumnion , returned
r- and related a storv df having been
fired at in the brush along the Lewis
river, that the men had been mistaken
'fv outlaws, but upon : becoming con
vinced that such was the case, came
to Vancouver afShcei to notify the
sheriff. -I ; ; v - -i - :, '- - .-!- .
It is now believed, providing the
story of young Tagerson Is true, that
the desperadoes have been lying quietly
in the brush since their encounter,
Monday night, with Dlesecker and. Da
vidson, as the Targerson ranch Is not
ovr three mllee from the point where
the encounter occurred. The fact they.
did not disclose their Identity to ,Tar
- gerson, and did not demand food with
their usual bravado, indicates they are
keeping quiet with the evident Inten
tion of giving their pursuers the slip.'
Mission of Venflesnee.
La Center, June IS. f I will devote
the rest of my life to running down
Tracy and Merrlli and other murder-
ers,M was the calm assertion of Charles
Perrell here today.

, . . ' ers." ; .
Charles Perrell is not of a boastful
-disposition. , He Is a quiet man. chuck
full" of ?and nd determination.: He
is a man who makes a strong friend or
.- a bitter enemy. i'
It was no Idle bombast that prompted
Perreirs declaration: i He means busi-
- tress.' and no 'man In jthla f amous man
hunting expedition ts more desirous of
j capturing Tracy and Merrill or -more
Impatient at delays f than this clear

Charles perrell Is a brother of Frank
Ferrell, the first of the guards shot
down in cold blood by Tracy ahd Mer

Since his appearance on the ground
FerreH has chafed at every delay.
urged action and given sound- advice.
' . There Is an awful spirit of vengeance
In his heart, and should he ever come
' face to fai with the murderers of hla
brother Frank some one would lie col3
and stiff upon the grounds riddled by
bullets. . By trade Charles Ferrell is a
blacksmith but for some time past he
fVhas been a member of the police force
in wno, .Ner. am an omcer be nas the
reputation ;of being brave ahd cool In
the face of danger, and prepared at, all
times to try conclusions with the des
peradoes and bad characters that Infest
Jteno and made it a headquraters.
'U have very little money to spare."
said Ferrell, "but I am willing to add
$100 4.0 the reward offered by Governor
Geer. X don't care who Is with me at
the time, but If I can only have the
privilege pa shooting Tracy those with
me can have ail of ray share of the
reward. -If some one shall be fortunate
enough to get those murderers I will
consider the 10f I offer as the beat In
vested money ever had.' It be
given with thankfulness. Frank and I
were greatly attached to leach other,
as -we were the two youngest members
of the family and I taught him all he
knew in athletics. He soon ' became a
master himself, however and : used' to
take delight int.showing me how he had
progressed. Frank iwas fearless. Yes.
those convicts had to kill him before
they could have gotten away. ,
. "It Is awful to thing of bis being
killed. I Intend to hunt down his mur
derers as long as there Is a possible
chance of getting them, and I will
never abandon the hope . of finding
them.:' (. '
There is what appears to be a psy
chological phase of-this case in which
Charles Ferrell supplies the facta.
From his -own statements he had a pre
monition of danger for two hours pre
vious to his brother's murder at 'Salem;
In Reno Ferrell's duty was .to patrdl
the town at night. At 5 a, m-June 9,
when he had just arrested a man . who
wanted to clean out the town, he suddenly-
became depressed In spirit and
exceedingly nervous., i .When he' went
home and to bed at O'clock it was
Impossible for. him to go; to sleep as
usual, fills' wife remarked it, and
asked what ailed him.' He replied that
he did not kaow, but that he feared
that some trouble was about to happen.
Shortly after 7 o'clock Frank Ferrell,
was murdered about 7:10 Charles Fer
rell, while tossing upon, his bed,- was
surprised to see a vision of his mother.
No matter In "what direction he turned
his face, -nor even when he closed his
eyes and burled his head in the pillows,
he could see his aged mother weeping
bitterly. He told his Nife of this.
whereupon aha tried to calm him by
saying that good news was probably
coming. .: f'."-: -t :: . . N- :
Not long afterward1 a" telegram came
stating that there had been an out-?
break at the Oregon Penitentiary and
that Frank Ferrell had been killed.
"The news did not surprise me a bit,
said-. Ferrell. relating his experience
"I was positive that something fearful
had occurred Before the telegram was
opened I knew what it contained." ,.
Accompanied by his wife. Policeman
Ferrell boarded the flrst train for 6a
Jem. but arrived too late to. attend the
fuherat. Fired with a memory of the
horrible fate of. his cherished brother.
Charlesproceeded at once to Wood burn
and caught up. with the posse at Graves
randv last; week. . .---' : ;
Armed with a rifle he took to the
trail and remained on it until it was
abandoned for the time being at Bar- J
low last Friday night. As soon as the
information was teceived at Salem that
Tracy arid Merrill had appeared near
Vancouver. Ferrell caught the nrst
train and was hot on the trail of .the
murderers Monday morning, and has
followed It ever since, hoping every in
stant tocome In contact with Tracy.
If rhe men meet. Tracy will probably
die suddenly. ... i

that the Hanna hoorn will not prove

naturally arises. Who win nave sec

t mrki that the fashion of re
garding the office -of Vice President a
an empty honor and ,tne stepping
tone to a pollUcat grave, has under
gone a change. , The lat man to acorn
the office for that reason, was Senator

h had held up his anger at the Phila

PhMM Vice-President.! andtoday would
ha vm been In the White House. But Ws
respect for a tradition caused him to
spurn the Vice-Presieency ana, as it

Van Zant are quite in harmony la their
political ideas and plans, and there are
geographical reasons why Roosevelt
would" be glad to have Van Zant oa the
ticket. But- it can be stated most em
phatically that the matter haa not gone
beyond the stage of tentative sugges

mit himself so early on so Important a
question. It Is more likely that Roose
velt will want a running mate who will
bring him strength in a state where he
needs It more .than he thinks he does
In Minnesota. If, for Instance. Indiana
should appear wobbly he might per
suade Beveridge to accept the Vice
presidential nomination, with the idea
of being in line . for the Pret-identlal
