BILLINGS YELLOWSTONE COUNTY MONTANA FRIDAY AUGUST 1902

tentiary at Salem, June 9, in company
with David MerriR after killing four
men, Frank w. Ferrell, G. r. T. Jones
and B. F. Tiffany, guards, and Frank
Ingraham, convict, who tried to pre-
vent his fight. On June % Tracy
killed Merrill near Napavine, Wash,
shooting him from behind and leav-
ing his body in the forest, where it
was found on July Is. On July 8,
near Seattle, in a fight with posse,
Tracy shot and killed Charles Ray
mond, deputy sheriff, E. E. Breeze,
policeman, mortally wounded Neil
Rawley, who died ON the following
day and wounded Carl Anderson, a
newspaper reporter.
Committed Many Daring Feats.
Tracy committed many feats of dar-
ing during his flighA in the course of
which he eluded various posses when
apparently surrounded and held up
numerous farmers, whom he forced
to furnish him food and clothing and
by threats Of numbering their fam
lilies compelled them to cover up his
tracks. Perhaps his greatest show
of daring was displayed on July 2,
at South Bay, near Olympia, when he
held up six men and forced four, in
Guiding Captain Clark, of large gas
oline launch, to embark with him on
Puget sound and pilot him up stream
for ten hours.

Rescued Cuban Boy.

Havana, Aug. 6.-Major William G.

saved young Cuban boy from drown

NEITHER WILL DIE.
Fort Benton combatants Getting
Along Well.

Fort Benton, Aug. 6.-Coinplaint has
been issued from the sheriff's Office
against John Allen for assault with
intent to- kill John Reavis, but the au-
thorities have taken no further ac-
tion in the case and Allen is still at
the hospital, though recovering rapid
ly.
Reavis is around town apparently
all right
Allen has been employed in this
vicinity for some time as a sheep herd
er, and when sober is one of the most
peaceable of men; the fact that he
had been drinking heavily sunday and
Sunday night is accountable for his
quarrelsome mood Monday morning.

AND DYNAMITE EXPRESS CAR
one OF GANG IS KILLED.
Supposition Is That He Came to His
Death Through Mistake Of
His confederates.

Mount Carroll, ILL.,, August "a
daring and successful train robbery
occurred at Marcus, on the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railway, five
miles north of Savannah, about mid
night The vestibuled passenger
train Of IL coaches was tagged at the
little station and six masked men
boarded the engine. The engineer
and fireman obeyed the orders of the
rcbers and at once uncoupled the en-
gine and express car from the train
and ran them a quarter Of mile up
the track
The robbers then blew up the ex-
press car with dynamite, ran the en-
gine mile from Hanover, abandoned
it and escaped

comrades. Six sacks of money were

masked. Evidently they were rail-

William Byle, the messenger, fired
five shots at the robbers, but with
out effect, and an attempt was made
to blow him up in his car.
The bandits had arranged to ditch

stop been needed.
Several passengers in the buffet

prisoners during the struggle to
crack the safe.
The body of the dead robber was

mere was no way to telegraph
news of the hold-up, and the fagman
walked back and gave the alarm.
A special train of citizens and sew
eral policemen at once proceeded to
the scene, but as the track runs along
the Mississippi river and the country
is well adapted to a successful flight,
the ROBBERS easily escaped.
The work was evidently that of ex-
perts, as they went at it coolly and
methodically.
The train attacked is one of the
finest in the world and usually carried
considerable money, which fact must
have been known by the highway
men.

POLITICS IN ILLINOIS.

While Illinois is a strong republican
state the dominant party has its fac
tons that promise to make campaign
ing lively this year. This grows out
of the ambitions of men who are in
Office and desire TO stay and those out
side or in lower positions who want in
or TO go up higher. The term of Sen
ator w E. Mason expires in 1903, and
he would like to succeed himself While
a republican. he has to some extent
been a free lance in the past, so much
so that it has been difficult TO locate
Kim at times, tho at present he is
working in the traces" Congressman
A. j. Hopkins, who is now serving his
ninth term in the house, would like Ma
sons toga. There are others also with
like ambitions.
Some of the. preliminary steps involve
republican leadership in the state. and
1t is announced that battle royal will
occur over this. With Senator Cullom
at its head, coalition of republican
leaders has donned the war paint and
gone out after the Yates Lorimer- Hop
kins combination, with the avowed pur-
pose of preventing the further control
of the party organization. The men are

The PRIMARY ELECTION BILL.

The indications are that The primary
election law before the legislature viii
not have clear sailing. II does not APP
peal to practical party men as being
q fair measure. 1t aims to hold both
party primaries at the same time.
With sorting out of tickets at the
close. 1t would in fact be an election,
with the real election to follow as sort
of referendum. 1t looks like a piece of
on the theory that the va
rious parties are unable to hold a fair
primary and desire the state to take
charge of ii. As the T.-R. has hither
TO pointed out, about all that is needed
to safeguard primary election has
been enacted into the law by the gen
eral assembly. The statute makes 1t u
to cast an unlawful vote.
a man of one party cannot cast vote
in another party's primary without in
curing great risk. Neither can one
who is not AN elector nor minor cast
such a ballot. With vigilant men in
charge of a primary and other cleo
tors to watch movements it is extreme
ly hazardous for a ballot box corrup-
tor to get in unfair work.
The chances are that the bill before
the general assembly will be killed as
n measure that goes too far or is not
actually needed, in view of the law all
ready on the statute book.

THE PRESIDENTS REVIEW.

President Roosevelt's decision in the
Schley appea, case has been made pub
&c and is given elsewhere in the T.-R.
1t will not be pleasing to the friends
and partisans OF Admiral Schley, who
claim that he was In command OF our
fleet at the battle of Santiago, but 1t
will be accepted by the unbiased pub
lie as a fair review of the case and as
an unprecedented attempt TO get at the
facts in dispute.
The substance of the presidents
findings has been anticipated. Of the
courts action condemning Schley's
movements preceding the battle. the
president. after carefully going over the
case. says. Il am satisfied that on the
whole The court did substantial justice"
AS TO the question of command ut sam
tiago, which Schley desired investigat-
ed and to which the president gives
chief attention, a summary of his Views
is that it was captains battle. and
that the credit for the victory belongs
first 20 Admiral Sampson, who planned
and bore the responsibility of the en-
gagement, and next to Commodore
Schley and other officers OF the fleet,
who handled the ships and the guns.
Admiral Sampson was not present at the
battle, but no other officer assumed
command or directed the American
forces, beyond nlaneuvering the ship in
which he stood. and therefore the cred
il must be apportioned according 20 the
engaged Commodore Schley's part in
the battle was confined TO the opera
tons of the Brooklyn. and this was a
creditable part, except the loop. which
WAS a mistake. AS all previous acts Of
Schley had been in effect condoned by
the Mckinley administration, President
Roosevelt decided that it need not be
reviewed or revived, tho there is no rea-
son for reversing the verdict of the
court of inquiry concerning them.
When Admiral Schley invoked in
quiry into this record In the first place
he set upon foot a movement that has
proved harmful to his standing, gallant
officer tho he is. Smarting under the
sting of unfair criticism from Maclay
the would he historian, he was induced
to call for court to settle the question.
Other measures might have been bet
ter and impartial history would have
accorded him due credit in the Santiago
engagement AS ii is he must now rest
under stigma that can not be averted
Ii is believed President Roosevelt has
acted dustly in the matter. with an aim
only to get at the truth of history. and
time will doubtless approve this latest
verdict IN the schley case. May IT now
be allowed to drop, viii be the sincere
wish of the public
