CONVICTS ARE HEMMED IN

TRACY AND MERRILL.
Two Sets of Bioodhounds on the
Trail and State Militia Guarding
All Roads in Vicinity.

Tacoma, June 30.-The a hunt to
secure either dead or alive the two
c%onvicts, Tracy and Merrill, who es-
capped from the Oregon penitentiary
two weeks ago, today assumed a more
exciting phase. They were seen yes
terday near Winlock, and during the
night marched through the woods to
Chehalis. 1t was discovered today
that they ate breakfast early this
morning at the ranch of John Porter,
near Centralia. Sheriffs of three
counties are in charge of the posse,
which believes it has the convicts
surrounded in the woods near the
state reform school, just outside Of
Chehalis. Two sets of bloodhounds
were brought to Chehalis today and
placed on the trail. A company of
the state militia was sent out to
Chehalis and is guarding the trails
and roads leading in every direction.
The posse is hourly growing larger
and the officers believe they will
catch the convicts by tomorrow.
Great caution is being exercised be-
u both men are heavily armed
and thoroughly desperate.

change in the condition or the posi-
ton OF the icebound ships.
At the time they we're last sighted
the Portland had been out of Seattle,
Nome-bound, for So days and the
JEANNE for 48 days. Signals from
both vessels to the free vessels fol
lowing them announced that all was
well on board in each case, passen-
gers well, food and water plenty, and
general conditions cheerful. Mes
sages, however, carried the frank adj
mission on the part of the officers
of the imprisoned vessels that the
feeling of ~cheerfulness was greatly
augmented by the arrival on the
scene of the Thetis, standing by ready
to respond to any emergency signal.
The Centennial left Nome on the
morning of June 20. The whaler Bel
videre arrived in port there only a
few hours before. The Belvidere
brought only the most meager infor-
nation concerning the conditions on
board the beleagured vessels, as the
only means of communication be.
tween them and the free vessels with
in sight was by signaling, and that
process is slow and tiresome.

TAKES HIS OWN r
Paralyzed Rancher Tired Of Waiting
for Death.

Lewistown, June SCHUBERT De-
WIDER, an elderly ranchman, residing
on Warm Spring creek, IL miles from
Lewistown, committed suicide at an
early hour this morning at a point
about half a mile from his home, near
the main road between Lewistown and
Kendall. The body was discovered
by a range rider, who reported the
suicide to the officers in Lewistown.
When they reached the scene, they
found the body of the suicide lying
ear a fence, with a large-caliber re-
volver nearby, while a looking glass
was stuck in the wires of the fence,
showing that the deadly shot was di-
rected by the use Of the mirror.
The hat of the deceased lay on the
ground nearby, with a stone upon it
and underneath it a letter, addressed
'.'To the City Press" and reading:
Endless suffering has led me to
this half suicide. A paralytic expects
nothing but another stroke. Mother
Nature, you are too slow, so l help
myself. Death only occurs once.
"P. ST. call this a half suicide
because I am half-dead with paraly-
Sis"
1t is learned that Devider recently
told a neighbor that June would be
his last month.
Until a few months ago Mr.. De-
WIDER was a strong, healthy man, but
after a stroke of paralysis he became
Respondent, though his family did not
anticipate that he would take his
own life. A few weeks ago he decided
all his property, which was consider
able, dividing it among his wife, n
| son and two daughters. He could get
about with a cane, but was generally
in a bad physical condition.
While he was at breakfast this
morning he did not appear different
than usual, his family noticing moth
ing strange in his demeanor.
The jury returned a verdict of sui
eide.

IMPRISONED IN ICE PACK
STEAMERS JEANNE AND PORT
LAND SAFE.
Thetis Is Standing by Ready to AS
sist the Distressed Vessels
Ships Uniniured.

Port Townsend, June 30.-The
steamer Centennial reached this port
today, nine and a half days from Cape
Nome, bringing news of the safety Of
the steamers JEANNE and Portland.
She also brings word that the story
of the loss of the United States YES
sci Thetis is untrue. y The steam
whaler Belvidere stopped at Cape
Nome June 20 and reported that the
JEANNE and Portland were sighted
in the ice pack, On June IL, 80 miles
north of Cape Prince of Wales and the
Deomodia islands.
The reveiue cutter Thetis was stand
ing by the imprisoned vessels. The
JEANNE and Portland were not in
jured by the ice, and there are good
prospects of the vessels escaping from
the ice.
The passengers on both steamers
are safe, as sentinel boats standing
off from the foes are ready to render
any assistance made necessary by
the movement of the ice.
This news came to Nome only a
few hours prior to the Centennial's
departure, by the steam whaler Bel
videre, which arrived from the Arctic.
The Belvidere was in sight of both
the Portland and the JEANNE and left
them to return to Nome only after
her officials had assured themselves
that they could render no assistance
to the beleaguered vessels. When
