REASON HE LED POSSE AGAINST
DESERTED CABIN.
The TRUTH IS LEAKING OUT
Tracy Had Friends Who Put Up the
Job That Succeeded in secur-
ing His Escape.

Tacoma, Wash, July 24.-The in
side facts as to how Sheriff Cudihee
Of King county was tricked into lead
ing a posse against a vacant cabin at
Lake Sawyer are coming out. Lewis
Ward, the Whatcom gambling house
lad and dime novel hero, known as
the 'kid," had nothing to do with the
scheme and was simply used to I've
up the real stool pigeons or inform
ers. '"Tattooed Red alias Fred Cor
Tom) Floyd, and Fred Simmons, alias
Fred Zimmerman. both well known
crooks. These are the two men who
gave Cudihee "the double cross"
At the Renton conference, when
the hired man, Anderson, was blind
folded, it was undoubtedly agreed
that if Tracy became hard pressed by
the sheriff's posse these notorious
crooks would put up a job to give the
sheriff a false clue. Presumably it
was also agreed that Tracy was to
say somewhere that he was wounded
and that Floyd and Simmons would
help make this story appear to be
true. Tracy did get hard pressed in
the railroad cut at Covington and was
closely pursued. The day after the
Covington fight Tracy appeared at
the Pautot ranch and declared that he
was wounded.
This was the cue for Floyd and Sim
mons. They went to a we'll known
sporting man at Kent and offered to
deliver up Tracy. This sporting man
is friendly to Sheriff Cudihee, and he
at once arranged a meeting between
! the two crooks and the sheriff. This
was at the time the sheriff mysterious.
ly disappeared. In the meantime the
news of the finding of the body of
Merrill, the assassinated pal of Tracy
was printed. Floyd and Simmons are
said to have told Cudihee that they
had been friendly to Tracy, and that
they had met him by accident at Rem
ton. They also declared they had
been more friendly to Merrill, and
that it was now their desire to Sc
cure revenge for the murder Of Mer
rill by delivering up Tracy, provided
that they should receive a. big share
of the reward
The principal condition insisted up
Qua by the stool pigeons was that al
the deputies in the field should be
called in, in order that they nigh
not claim a share of the reward. Cud
ihee agreed to call off the man hunt
ers and send them back to Seattle
Floyd and Simmons asserted thai
Tracy was badly wounded and prac
tically helpless. Next the crooks
started out for the Lake Sawyer cab
in. Cudihee was to fellow "a hours
later. with the Whatcom kid" as
dummy informer, and was to meet the
crooks, who would have Tracy in sucf
a perdlcament that Cudihee could safe
~ take him alive.
AS this story Cooked good" to Cud
thee the sheriff followed as he hat
been directed. Hours went by and he
began to fear bad faith. At last ht
raided the cabin. Neither ''Tattooet
Red nor Simmons was there. Neither
was Tracy. and hone of them have
been seen since.

United Verde Copper
Company.

1t has been proven recently by sworn Testimony
IN open court that copper was actually produced
on the Verde Copper Belt at three and a half
cents pound.
The GEORGE A. TREADWELL COMPANY has
the largest and best holdings of any company op-
Grating on the Belt. In fact IT has pretty much
all there is Of value on the Belt except the prop
erty of the Unit ID Verde Company
1t Will produce copper as cheap as-if not cheap
er than-any other company operating in that dis
trict and much cheaper than it can be produced
anywhere else.
The gold and silver values in the ore are AL
WAYS SUFFICIENT to materially reduce the cost
OF the copper. and SOMETIMES enough to bring
the cost Of the copper down to nothing
We are entirely satisfied with ten cent copper.
and at that price can produce it at handsome
profit and pay generous dividends.
Can any other company in the field except the
United Verde do as much?

The District Commissioners received to-
day a communication from John Hay, the

provided for in the will of Cecil Rhodes
for each state and territory of the United
States. The letter Is the same as has been

sections as to whether or not the District

of the document. The Commissioners will
refer the letter to the board of education
for any statement 1t may wish to make in
the matter. and will then take the matter
up with the State Department.
