EDITOR HERALD:

Grulla, Texas, April l3.-There
is such a positive dearth OF news,
that I'm driven to send you an
other ghost story. The story has q
string to il, 10 way OF explanation,
which | shall Save for my next.
Before beginning on this tale Of
an spparition, ! viii! send you
whatever may have in the bottom
of my sack.
Monday Rev. +. Repiso came
down TO say mass. regret to re-
port that somsone present, being
under the influence of mescal, 30 it
is reported, made disturbances in
the cspilla. The next day COM
plant was filed before the justice,
aud the accused gave boud to APP
pear in the county court.
The weather is still dry, windy
aud hot. Ali hope of crop, save
in some favored locality, has about
vanished. The skies thepast week
have been overcast aud showers
have fallen on the other side OF the
river, but We are "DOt in it," A
great many people have left this
border, seeking work elsewhere,
aud more are going. At Las Gar
Gas AbsjO seven families left two
weeks ago for the interior, and
from here various individuals have
gone. Several went down to your
county, but were unable to find
work and came back
IL things do not soon mend with
as, we may shortly have to look
for help. Not that all the county
is so badly off, but there are places,
especially on the river, where the
bulk of The population ls cOncen-
trated, that are beginning to feel
the pinch of want.
All, shall never forget last Fri
day night. / don't like spiders,
and | have horror of tarantulas.
| once gave vent, thro' your col
lumus, to my disgust at these de-
Scendauts of Arachne. Last week
was cloudy and threatening rain,
aud the tarantulss came out OF
their holes in numbers. The Mex
leans have a belief here that when
the "trants" make their appear
ance, rain is not Tar OF. Well,
during the week my English friend
was frequently around Of an even
lug, aud always RECALLED the With
the number of "trsuts" he had
killed.
The tGraLtuls, ~ you may
know, is a nocturnal bird, and this
habit OF his gives additional horror
to his malignant, dusSy visage,
aud causes those who fear him to
shndder at the approach of night.
According to my friend, there is

THREE MEN ARE BEATEN

LOUISVILLE, KY. Aug. Ga telegram
to The Times from Horrodsburg. KY,
says:
Thirty masked men. mounted, on swift
horses and heavily armed. caused a reign
of terror in the neighborhood of Perry
vile ten miles from this city, last night
and severely f1ogged William Goodnight
George Russell and Roy Bottom, residents
of that section.
They rode into Perryville from the direc-
ton Of a large cave north of town, which
was a rendezvous of the toll gate raiders
who terrorized the community several
years ago. They dashed through Perry
willie at a terrific speed and proceeded to
the house of Goodnight on the Mackville
pike. Quickly but quietly, surrounding
the house, they called for him to come
out or be cremated, as they intended to
burn the place If he refused.
When Goodnight appeared in response
to their summons he was securely bound,
piled the lash numerically He was then
ordered to go to work, leave the county
at once or get a rope the next trip.
Leaving Goodnight. the whitecaps went
to the home of George Russell, in the
same neighborhood, and gave him severe
beating.
They then called on Wallace Bottom,
whom they served in like manner.
Goodnight says he recognized several Of
the party and some arrest may follow.
Some time ago notes, purporting to be
from whitecaps. were left at the door Of
several citizens, but they were treated
as joke.

and unloaded by a big plow which was
pulled by rope attached to the engine.
The cars were loaded, the men riding on

exciting encounters with militia and other
pursuing parties, who. however, were soon
left many houHs behind. A most exciting
battle occurred on July g.
On that day, Captain A. ]. Clark of the
big gasoline launch owned by the Capital
City Oyster company, arrived here with
the news that he had landed Tracy near
this city the night before. 1t was about
half-past eleven o'clock. when Tracy
stepped out OF the launch and, with a
parting admonition to Clark to be care
full. disappeared in the direction of Seat
tie.
The story of how Tracy got to Seattle is
one Of the most startling and sensational
in the history of Pacific coast crime. II
was lawless and daring. and at the same
time cunningly planned. The success OF
the remarkable fugitive astonishes the
oldest thief catcher.
Tracy appeared early that morning. ac-
cording TO Captain Clark's story. at the
residence OF a man named Alting. Alting
and "Will" Langridge were preparing
breakfast when the Desperate appeared in
the doorway, and. without the slightest
hesitation, introduced himself as Tracy,
the convict for whom the officers and mill
tia of two states have been hunting in
vain for nearly month.
Not Even Looked Worried.
Inc AlllnB TGSlOenCe Is at south Fay,
near Olympia, and from this II is reasoned
that Tracy passed through Olympia at
about midnight. He did not appear to be
worried.
The startled men had not time to reply
to his request for food before Frank Scott
and John Messegee walked into the
house.
Then Tracy was all action. Out came his
revolver and with quick, sharp order he

hands over head. against the wall. He al
so made them face the wall.
This order was just completed when
Captain Clark and his son appeared on the
scene. Tracy took in the situation at a
glance and made the last two join the line.
Then he compelled Adair and Langridge
to cook his breakfast. After this was done,
he ate heartily. but not before he had
bound Adair and Langridge hand and
foot to a bed.
The four men in line were then marched
to the big gasolene launch and compelled
to DO aboard. Captain Clark was instruct
ed to get up steam. AS soon as this was
done. away went the pirate and his well
subdued crew. They followed the shores
Point. which was formerly the sound pi-
rates home
Captain Clark Immediately came to Sc
attic and the hunt was commenced.
The voyage to Seattle from Thurston
county was marked by several exciting
episodes. Tracy wanted the boat steered
near McNeils Island, so that he might
take shot at the guards who happened
to be on the beach. He also wanted to kill
the captain of the tug Seafoam, near the
entrance TO Tocoma harbor, because the
tug persisted in heading toward the
launch.
Says He Killed Merrill.
