CLARK TELLS STORY
OF TRIP TO SEATTLE

Sea tile. Wash. July captain A. J..
Clark, who had charge of the launch
in the service of the Olympia Oyster
company. tells the following story.
1--WE LETT Henderson inlet near Olysn-
pia about o'clock this morning. Be
fore we left the two remaining men

escape. Later, however. Munroe, one
of my crew. went back to get clothes
that Tracy demanded. He united he
captiVes. Tracy remembered Munroe's
return after we were out on the sound,
and asked Munroe if he united the men.
Tracy then said if the escape was in
terfered with by revenue cutter as a
result of Munroes return, he would
shoot Munroe.
Tracy suggested that the launch hug
in close to the shore as we passed Nc
Niel's island where the state peniten-
tiary is located. He wanted to kill one
of the guards. We dissuaded him froua
this. however. Nothing further of any
great incident happened on the trip
until we reached Meadow Point.
THE launch passed the entrance to
the Seattle harbor between and 6
O'Clock. while it was still broad day.
light. Tracy sat in the boat and coolly
commented on the appearance OF the
city from the water. We reached
Meadow Point about $50 and dropped
anchor. We remained there for about
an hour. when dusk began to set in
and the convict said he was ready TO
go ashore.
Before going. he made Scott tie and
bind the others. Young Clark has a
sore wrist, and Tracy noticed it as
Scott was obeying his order. The other
men had their hands behind their
backs. a thin rope being tied around
their wrists and thence attached. 70
their feet The boy, however, on ac-
count of his sore wrist, was bound by
the elbows:
I'll send you a lot of money To
make up for kidnapping you and the
launch. Captain Clark, said Tracy. as
he went over the side. For L will have
a lot of dough pretty soon, now. And
won't forget you other fellows. You
have acted pretty decent by me. Well
so long.
Tracy. however. insisted that Scott
should go ashore with him. He took a
liking to Scott on the trip down the
sound. The two men landed about two
and a half miles north of Ballard. and
walked slowly into that city. Tracy
had his 500 rounds of ammunition and
his now famous 1910 Winchester rife
He bemoaned the fact that he had not
a six-shooter.

Seattle. Wash, July 3.-Tracy APP
nsaredA at the camp of the Capitol City
oyster company at South Point, near
Olympia, yesterday morning, about
o'clock. He entered the home of Ho-
IA ito AIling. Besides Alling, the COOK,
William Adair. was in the house at
the time. Tie informed them who he
was. and then ordered them To help
him get breakfast AS they were do
ing so Frank Scott ana John Messen-
ger. employees of the company, entered.
Tracy then became alarmed. and made
the men stay at one end of the room
while he took his breakfast
The gasoline launch was lying IN the
bay. Tracy a~ked few questions
about it, and then ordered the cook
to call the master, Captain A j. Clark,
and his son ashore for breakfast The
cook obeyed the order, and the two
men came ashore. After they had eaten
breakfast. Tracy ordered Munroe TO
gag and tie Alling and the cook He
then marched Captain Clark and his
son, Scott and Munroe, down to the
beach at the point of his gun. They
boarded the launch. and Tracy an
uounced that he wished to go to Seat
tie. He helped 10 get the engines
started, but always keeping the others
covered with his rife. He took SEQ
rounds of ammunition on board with
him.
He then sent Scott back to get him
some clothes and pair of shoes. At
the time Tracy was wearing shoes he
had taken from cripple. One had a
sole several inches thick, while the
other had a thin sole. Scott took a
coat and vest belonging to Alling, the

With these he returned 10 the launch
and the voyage began for Seattle. Cap
tain Clark wanted to cover the distance
as soon as possible, but Tracy mildly
expostulated, saying he was in no
hurry 10 reach Seattle before darkness
set in. As a result of the high speed
at which the launch was travelling the
engine became overheated and had to
be stopped twice. Tracy entertained
his fellow passengers with bloodhound
ling tales of his life. and invited them
to q lunch with him shortly after the
noon hour.
In leaving the launch at Meadow
Point, Tracy hesitated for a few sec
onds. and then said;

you in trouble, so Til wait until you
leave me"
They walked along the railroad track

"Battle Over an Empty Tomb"

An audience that almost filled the
Christian church, heard the discussion
on "The Battle Over an Empty Tomb
No one at the close had any doubts
as to how the tomb came to be empty.
Many hearts were stirred as the flow
ing tears gave evidence. The perora-
ton was very pathetic indeed. One
lady came forward on the invitation
to accept Christ as the Savior.
After the ervices were closed the
evangelist took almost an hour in Sc
Iecting and drilling workers for more
aggressive campaign for Christ. The
city will be divided into quarters and
workers will be placed in each. and If
the weather will admit they expect to
