Hundreds of paths run through the
tall timber and dense underbrush on
its sides and summit. Abandoned
roads still good enough for foot a
ell are found on all sides.
These intersect and twist through
the forest in so circuitous q way That
the only wonder is that Tracy himself,
expert woodsman though he be, did
not take the wrong direction. One OF
the difficulties presented by the roads
is the immense number OF trans.
These are a Chinese puzzle. some
come to a sudden end. Others have
their beginning in half a dozen sim
liar paths and end in as many more.
Even the oldest inhabitants know lit
tie about these trails, and but a small
number of the Indians on the reserva-
ton are we'll acquainted with their
tortuons courses. How they came
into existence is a problem. Adding
to the safety Of the hill as a place OF
retreat are the abandoned farms, old
houses, shacks and rotting log cabins
which are found in the depths OF the
forest in large numbers. In any Ont
of these places the murderer could
lie concealed while an army OF mer
searched for him, and never be II
much danger. To this retreat Tracy
fed when the bloodhounds were Sc
on his track at EnumclaW.

GAME OF
Country Over Which Tracy Is Dodging
His Pursuers.

Seattle, Wash, July 17.-Word has
lust been received from Covington n q
Sheriff Cudihee's posse has surround
ed a shack in which it is belleVed
Tracy and two companions are To-
Gated, and that a battle is expected.
1t is said that when Sheriff Cudlhee
disappeared into the brush two, days
agu he took with him a stool pigeon
and a body Of pick deputies. 1t is
claimed that through the efforts OF
the stool pigeon Cudihee learned Ira
cy's whereabouts.
To understand the game OF hide
and-seek which Tracy has been play
ing with the posse. a general outline
of the country is necessary. The reser-
walton hill divides the White river
and Green river valleys. The c%onjunc-
ton of the valley is at Auburn. To
the east of the Green river is a rugged
bluff extending for miles. Eight miles
from Auburn, at its base, is the ranch
of Frank Portrait, the Frenchman,
whose home Tracy entered FRIDAY.
Standing on this bluff n looks
stright across to the reservation hill
in a westerly direction. Beyond TINS
hill lies the White river valley to the
east. Descending from Muckleshoot
some Of the roads lead down to the
White river, while others run IN q
southerly direction to EnumclaW,
Buckley and adjacent places. 1t now
seems certain that Tracy lay moe
on the bluff behind Portaut's farm
until dark, then crossed the Muckle
shott reservation, went over its sum
nit and thence down to EnumclaW
where he was seen Sunday. The FAC
that all the other courses which III
might have chosen were well guarded
at the time, without doubt cause'
him to move south.
Repeats Time-Worn Ruse.
But when Tracy arrived at Enun
claw he found that escape from tina
place was also cut off, and then n
repeated his time-worn trick. He fe

MILES CITY CLERKS MISTAKE
PREVENTED A KILLING.
BAD MAN HEALED HIMSELF
But by Lucky Oversight He Was Civ
en- Rim Fire Cartridges for
Center Fire Gun.

Yellowstone Journal: There are
three men in Miles City today who
have cause for special thankfulness.
They are Segeant Pinkerton Turner
of A company, T~wenty-first infantry,
Morris Allen or James Morrisy-tell
you better when he gets himself
Strengthened out-and the clerk at
T%ruscott's who without looking at
them particularly, sold Turner a box
OF rim fire cartridges for a center
| fire 80 caliber gun which the sergeant
bought shortly after l o'clock yester'
| day. At first reports the soldier ap-
peared to be altogether in the wrong
but when the affair is Strengthened
out his victim, if he had been killed
would have received scant sympathy.
With one case Of enticing OF young
children into evil they cannot CON-
prehend now in the courts, the pub
lie would be in no mood to tand any
more such villiany as that over which
the trouble occurred, which was from
Turner hearing Morrisy or Allen Of
fer a little girl 50 cents to go in
swimming in Tongue river with him.
Morrisy had been drinking and Turn
er had probably been close enough TO
the flowing bowl at least to smell it's
contents but when he heard Morrisy's
offer he Immediately jumped on him
and pounded him up, ~d:slocating two
of his knuckles in the process. Nor

it is customary for s~elf-respecting gen.
|, tlemen to resent and it seems followed
him around for III timc Turner
went into Truscott's store N bou3ht
, the revolver. In getting the cart
ridges the clerk just noticed the call
her marked on the box and slipped
them into the gun, filling all the cham
hers. Turner went out and an houl
or so afterward encountered Morrls9
!. in the Bank saloon. Without furthel
ado he threw down on Morrlsy an
said, "You called me a --, did you

LOSES HIMSELF FROM MEN WHO
THINK HIM coRNERED.
he NOW HAS COMPANIONS
Sheriff Had Outlaw Located But Did
Not Arrive in Time to Cap
ture Him.

Seattle, Wash, July Hilary Ira
cy was at 10 o'clock this morning re-
ported to have been found, and the
story Of his death was expected at
any moment. Sheriff Cudihee locat-
ed the desperate in a lonely cabin,
three-quarters of a mile from the juno
ton of the Northern Pacific Palmer
cutoff and the Columbia & Puget
Sound road. He was supposed to be
there with two companions.
Cudihee, with six guards, waited for
Tracy or either Of his companions to
come from the cabin. Growing i'm
patient the sheriff ordered an attack
upon the place, and the guard closed
in, firing as they advanced.
Not a sound came from the cabin,
and when Cudihee cautiously pushed
in the door, they found h place
empty. There were evidences that the
house had been inhabited very recent
", and it is now believed that the out
law and his desperate companions
crept one by one from their place OF
Imprisonment, during the darkest
hours of the morning.
A boat has been reported missing
on Lake Sawyer not far from the cab

CAR LOAD OF GIANT POWDER
WRECKS a MINE.
WAS STORED IN MAGAZINE
Those Not Killed by Conclusion SUI
fer, From Gases Caused by
the Explosion.

Park City, July 1.-two powder
magazines at the 1,200-foot level of the
Daly-Wes. mine exploded about !
o'clock this morning, causing a loss
of life that at present cannot be estl-
mated or even guessed at.
At 4 o'clock ~ men had been TAX
en- out of the mine dead and several
others had been recovered in a hal1
dead condition. These were all
brought out through the Ontario mine
shaft, which is a mile distant from
the Daly-West, in which the explosion
occurred. The 1,200-foot level OF the
Daly-West corresponds to and is con-
nected by tunnel with the 6OO-foot
level of the Ontario.
In the Daly-West mine between 100
and $50 men were at work. In the
| Ontario were nearly 100, it is believed
1t is not known how many OF these
are dead, but the disaster extends TO
the Ontario, as the noxious gases That
have been let loose are known to have
been the cause of several deaths.
The presence of ~noxious gases leads
many miners to believe that the pow
der was burned; that h explosion
if one occurred, which, in the excited
condition of the town, it is difficult to
ascertain with absolute certainty, was
not the chief cause of the disaster.
There are two powder magazines at
the 1,2OO-foot level of the Daly-West,
one at each side Of the shaft, with the
capacity of one to two cars OF powder
each.
Car Load Expiodes.
A car OF powder was added to the
supply within the past few days.
The explosion occurred at about i
; o'clock this morning, at an hour, Wnen
, every person in town was either
asleep or at work. The shock was sc
tremendous that it awakened ever
one within a radius of two miles.
AS an example of its awful force
it is told that two horses in the ore
= tunnel one and one-half miles away
8 were killed by it.
The excitement is tremendous. NO
d a man in town but has friends or rel
atiyes working in the mine. Womel

All of the doctors of the town ar
at either of the mines. They are Dc

poor. unconscious fellows as they ar

information down town as the tell

But reading of the program can convey
only faint idea OF the very interesting
manner in which it was rendered, the
principal charm being the naturalness OF
those taking part. The doll drill, render
ed by twelve little girls, conveyed the inn
preston that each one was enthusiastic
over the fact OF possessing the best doll.
" The Trials of the Canvasser" represented
in aItamusing way the receptions of the
book agent in variety of typical homes.
The "Mother Goose Reception" was fine;
great pains were evidently taken to select
the children who would most faithfully
represent the different little characters
who make up the popular nursery rhymes.
The tambourine drill by twelve girls ar
rayed in red costumes, trimmed with gold
tinsel, by general consent carried off the
palm. This was very pleasing sight and
well nigh perfectly rendered, the different
movements in the drill representing anger,
reconciliation, protection, etc. This piece
was evidence of much careful drilling.
The whole entertainment was exception
ally good and reflects great credit to both
teachers and scholars. And for the fine
musical talent displayed we are indebted

Hall Of Fitehburg, Mass. who is a loyal
son Of Chelsea;

thousand votes cast for this new law in

making drunkards Of many OF our young
men. License fees cannot repair or make
good the damage that is being done among
our people. l shall pray for the defeat OF
