Where is Tracy? Glimpses of
him have besn caught in many
places and at divers times. He
has been wounded often and has
even suffered several deaths; yet
he remains at large, is more than a
match for an indefatigable sheriff
and posse, is veritable terror in
the land proof against peril and
Empowered with ubiquity. The
cunning, the daring and the marks
manship as we'll as the man killing
propensities displayed by the arch
criminal have made him the theme
of many an ink-slinger, and if he
is not apprehended before he gets
out of Nebraska, where he was re-
ported, he is assured OF an imam
Gus notoriety in the pernicious
tales on which our posterity will
regale when James and Starr are
lost in oblivion.
