June 9. after killing three prison

aay morning after being wounded BY
Abe rife of one of a posse in pursuit.
Tracy was surrounded in wheat
field near Fellows, station on the
Washington Central railroad, about
80 miles west of Spokane, Tuesday
night. Word was sent back 10 Dayen-
port, the county seat, and a large
number of armed men hurried TO the
scene.
In a fight with the sheriff's posse,
Tuesday night, Tracy was wounded
N the right leg -etween the knee and
the thigh, and 20 minutes later. know
ing that his capture was certain, lie
killed himself with a revolver. The
body of the outlaw was found in
wheat field Wednesday morning.
The posse under Sheriff Gardner

of which he eluded various posses

held up numerous farmers. whom he
forced TO furnish foo and clothing
and, By threats Of numbering their
Tamilies, compelled them TO cover up
his tracks. Perhaps his greatest
show "f daring was displayed on July
at South Bay, near Olympia, when
he held up six men and forced four,
including Capt. Clark, of a large gas
cline launch, 10 embark with him on
Puget sound and pilot him upstream
for ten hours.
