Judge Keller then explained that his
injunction was designed simply to protect
the rights of the persons who desired to
peaeeably labor.

TRADE REPORT.

New York.-Bradstreet's report on
trade last week says
Trade was quiet, while attention
was concentrated in crop and indus,
trial developments. Generally low
prices for farm products point to the
former being largely favorable, though
market conditions of late have been
more active and favorable accounts of
backward weather have not been ef-
faced or repaired. AS for the fall and
winter outlook, however, the best is
predicted. In industrial affairs the out.
look is certainly satisfactory. The iron
and steel situation is still largely a
strong one, but isolated samples of
weakness are in sight.
The railway situation is one of the
best in years and the outlook as to ton.
mage is a fiattering one, marred only
by the prospect of car shortages late,
on reducing or curtailing the indus
trial operations. Fiscal year earnings
returns are exceptionally good and it
is probable that taken as whole the
railroad earnings for the half year will
exceed those of the same period of
1901, despite reduced anthracite coal
car earnings. Cotton has weakened
quite steadily on good growing crop
conditions. though rain and flood dam
age reports from Texas helped to
steady prices on some days. Dry goods
trade reports are quiet. Spring styles
In woolens opened this week are
shown with advances on last season.
Wool, though quiet, is steady and high.
er grades are held several cents per
pound higher than last year. New bust
ness in shoes at Boston is confined
largely to sample lots. Leather is in
better demand.
New business in pig iron for 1908 is
still of good volume, but not so active
as earlier. The 1901 record of building
will be surpassed this year. Lumber
is stronger and higher at the west and
is recovering from summer dullness at
the east.
Wheat. including flour, exports for
the week ending July 81 aggregate
4.3SS,534 bushels, against 1890, 1899 last
week and 6,463,391 in this week last
year. Wheat exports since July 1 ag-
gregate 1S,350,S4O bushels, against

Reardan, Wash, Aug. 5.-The pur-
suers of Tracy are proceeding on the
theory that he is somewhere between
Reardan and Sprague. Figuring that
he is travelling at night, it is believed
that he has had time ito pass east
ward on a line between Sprague and
Reardan since he left the Sterett
house Saturday night.
Sheriffs Cudihee and De Bolt and
their deputies, who came over the
road toward Davenport from the
Sterett home, distance of so miles,
arrived at Reardan early this morn
ing, having followed the trail from
Sterett's until daylight. Later in the
day they left for Edwall. A telephone
message from there stated that they
had gone south again, and it is pre-
sumed that they left for the Crab
Creek country. There is rumor that
Tracy was seen near Odessa at $3.50
o'clock Sunday night. If that be true,
Tracy, If it is he, turned off some
where on the road that Cudihee and
De Bolt pursued to Davenport.

Grandfather Dies.

Pittsville, Wis, Aug. Al. G. Sew
erns, II years old, grandfather of Har-
ry Severns (Tracy), the escaped Ore
gon outlaw, who has for weeks evaded
capture by many posses and killed
many men since he broke from prison,
died in this village upon hearing of his
grandson's murderous career.
Since he commenced his bloody
career it has been the constant effort
of the grandfather's wife, children and
grandchildren to keep this fact from
him, as Harry had been his favorite.
The fact of Mr.. Severn's death re-
calls to many minds the outlaw as a
boy in Wisconsin, bright promising
youngster, and his career of crime,
which commenced in Colorado. The
old man died of broken heart.

StiH Carries His 3O-3O and Two Re-

of Several Counties Take Up the
Chase-Tracy LIS Headed south,

Krupp, WASH, Aug. 4.-Sheriff De
Bolt of Douglas county and Sheriff
Cudihee of King county are proceed
ing on the theory that outlaw Harry
Tracy has taken an out of the way road
to Davenport. They believe that Tracy
is travelling at night, and have hope
of intercepting him. They are cut off
practically from Geographic commune
cation.
At 10 o'clock Saturday night a man
was two horses, one of which he was
riding and the other of which was used
as pack animal, rode up to the house
of Rancher John Sterett of Connewai
creek and 'halloed the house." Mrs.
Sterett answered his summons and
stood in the door while she talked to
him. He inquired the way to Daven-
port, and said he had lost his way COM
ing from Almira. AS a matter of fact
he was at least ~ miles away from
the direct road between Davenport and
Almira.
In shouting conversation carried o,
with Mrs. Sterett the stranger said he
was travelling at night in order to save
his sorses from the heat. He volun
teered no direct information as to who
he was. Mrs. Sterett told him where
the Davenport road was. 1t was by
road about six miles from the Sterett
house. She referred him to hired
piicit information. He and the man
talked, but they were some distance
apart. He told this man he was pros
pector from Virginia City, in the Okla
hogan country. He then turned up the
hill from the Sterett house and appar-
emily went the way ne was directed.
Neither Mrs. Sterett nor the hired man
was close enough to get a good look at
the wanderer.
Along the road for distance of 10
miles north of the Stereu home sew
eral people saw the man with the two
horses Saturday night. He passed sew
eral farm houses. but so far as could
be ascertained did not hail any one.
He was riding a sorrel horse and was
driving gray pack horse in front of
him.
One reason that makes the officers
believe that the man with two horses
whom they are pursuing is Tracy is
conversation which the man had with
two campers not far from Coulee City
Friday night. He ran into the camp
and almost knocked tent down. One
of the campers said:
"This is pretty time Of night for
man to be travelling"
Quick as flash came the reply:
at is a good deal better for me to
travel at night than in the daytime"
The man volunteered no information
as to who he was, but got away in the
darkness with his two horses as quick
ly as possible. Sheriff De Bolt met the
two campers on his way from Coulee
City to Almira Saturday morning, and
they told him the foregoing story.
