cuDlHEE At RAvENsDALE.
Is Greatly Discouraged but Will Not
Give Up Hunt.

Ravensdale, July 15.-Again Tracy
has vanished. Last night, after the
narr west escape from death that he
has yet had in his fight, the cOnvic.
disappeared This forenoon he was
reported by a reliable farmer as hav-
ing been at a point two and a half
miles south of Covingt ,r. The blood
hounds were taken to this location and
followed the scent to the junction of
the Northern Pacific and Columbia
& Puget Sound railroads., one mile
west of Leary, where it was lost.
When Tracy was seen this afternoon
he presented the appearance of a hunt
ed animal. There is little doubt that
he has enjoyed a good rest some
where in the woods, making ready to
surprise some farmers family in an
unexpected part of this or Pierce coun-
ay or even the other side of the tun-
mel. s
Guards are posted everywhere. Cu1-
ihee is here and although badly in
need of rest, declares that he will not
give up the hunt. The night is dark
and the country rough. Tracy can go
almost anywhere with impunity. so
long as he avoids main crossroads
and bridges. All of these points are
guarded. Cudihee was greatly dis
couraged at the failure to bring down
the criminal.
cit seems as if fortune favored that
murderer he said last night. He
was halted and fired at by two depu-
ties, j. A. and Fred Bunce, and yet he
gets away without a scratch. Eight
barrels of buckshot went after him,
but no use. Then Deputy Grove halt
ed the convict and, by a trick, Tracy
makes Grove think that he also is a
deputy. That Grove was not killed
by two shots from Tracy's revolver is
a miracle"
After wearing out man and beast
in the effort to find the lost trail all
in vain, the dogs we're taken to Black
Diamond for the night.

The Convict's Tactics.
Tracy practiced a dozen ~eXpedients
for throwing the dreaded hounds off

high bank on the right side of the
railroad track, followed it a hundred
yards or so and then climbed up again,
this fooled his pursuers who were
