ACTS LIKE HYPNOTIST.
Tracey, the Oregon Convict, CompeIs a
Farmer to Buy Him Ammunition.

Kent, Wash. July 11.-Harrys Tracy,
the Oregon convict, was at the home
of E. NJ. johnson, two miles southeast
of this place Wednesday night, when
he left the house he was armed with
a new revolver and his rifle, and had
a plentiful supply of both ammunition
and provisions -.
Tracy sent johnson to Tacoma to
purchase the revolver and ammuni-
tion. He threatened to exterminste
Johnson's family.at. J. the slightest sign of
hinderance. The convict seemed fag-
ged out.
While at the house he spent nearly
all the time watching for his pur-
suers. He left the house after dark,
taking Johnson's horse, headed either
for Seattle or the Palmer cut off.
Not only did Tracy force johnson to
buy the revolver, but he made him
borrow the necessary money in Kent.
johnson went to Tacoma and secur-
ed the weapon without sounding any
kind of warning to the authorities
He was badly frightened.
Tracy arrived at the home of johnson
at O'Clock Wednesday morning, and
at the point of revolver forced John
son to go to Tacoma and purchase two
45-calibre Colts revolvers and 100
rounds of cartridges, with the threat
that if he gave information to the
authorities of that place he would
murder the entire family.
johnson left Knet on the o'clock
train, returning at O'Clock. While
he was absent from Kent, Tracy re-
manned in the vicinity of the home
and appeared to be uneasy, as if ex-
pecting a visit from the officers.
Several times he went to the top of
a small hill in the rear of the John
son home and viewed the surrounding
country.
Upon the return of johnson from
Tacoma Tracy ordered Mrs. johnson
to cook him enough provisions to last
a week. She boiled two dozen eggs,
fried bacon and gave him a large
supply of sugar and -four.
Tracy compelled the members of the
family to remain on the premises un-
til the return of Johnson from Ia
coma.

FIERCE RUNAWAY
Mrs. W. A. Snyder is Seriously
Injured.
Dropped Her Children Out While the
Horses Were Going
PeIImell.

A very serious runaway occurred
on South Front street Monday morn,
ing at shortly before nine o'clock.
VIM. A. Snyder. the nurseryman,
who resides at :. S19 Baker avenue, had
been to st. Johns Catholic church,
accompanied by his family, consisting
of his wife. and three little boys,
whose ages range from four to nine
years. They had driven to church
with Mr.. Snyder 9. team. and carriage,
and after the services concluded to
drive through Sibley park before 60
ing home.
When on Front street near Liberty
one of the fynets became disarranged
and Mr.. Snyder got out to fix it. The
horse began to kick and he stepped
back. The team then plunged forward,
leaving Mr.. Snyder behind. The pole
broke off about foot from the CARR
age on the start, and this made mat
tiers worse. The horses ran across the
slough, and when the Milwaukee
crossing was reached Mrs. Snyder
dropped one of her children out of
the rear of the carriage. A little ways
on she dropped the second one, and
near the watering trough she dropped
the third. Then she jumped out of
the rear end of the carriage herself,
striking on her feet and being thrown
over, striking the back of her head on
a rock.
People who witnessed the runaway
ran to the assistance of Mrs. Snyder
and children. Mrs. Snyder was found
lying unconscious on the ground. She
was carried into Frank Lang's resi-
dence, where Drs Holbrook and Steel
treated her. She remained completely
unconscious until afternoon, and after
that was in a comatose condition until
evening. She rested we'll last night
and her senses revived a good deal
this forenoon. 1t was found that she
had sustained a severe bruise on the
back of her head, her scalp being torn.
The skull was not fractured, but there
was some conclusion of the brain
Some other bruises were received, but
nothing serious. The injury to the
head was serious, and it will be sew
eral days before she will be out of
danger.
The boys were not seriously hurt.
One escaped injury entirely, one got a
shoulder bruised, and the third re-
ceived some scratches on his face.
Mrs. Snyder's pluck in taking care
of her children in the manner she did
was much admired.
The team continued on through the
park before it was stopped. Then
only one tug of one harness was at
tached to the carriage. 1t is said that
the team had run away before.

COUNTY BOARD.
Bridge Bids to be Opened, Tax Levy
to be Made. Etc.

The county board met last Monday
and has a good deal of business of
minor Importance to attend to. A tax
levy is to be made, and will be about
the same as last year, The poor fund
is nearly $4,000 larger than a year
ago, although the last levy for. this
fund was 30, 600 less than the previous
year. The smallpox bills, estimated
at 81, 900 to So, 900 when all parts of
the county are heard from, may neces-
state slightly larger levy for cur
rent expenses. The board will probably
decide to appeal from the small pox
decision.
A number of bridge aud pier bids
were opened this afternoon.
A petition for bridge across the
Big Cobb river in section 81, Decoria,
was received. 1t contains about
ninety signatures.
Tomorrow afternoon there will be q
hearing on the petition for the open
ing of the Mitchell road in Lincoln
and Ceresco.
The uncollected personal property
tax list is to be gone over.
County Surveyor Brooks has exam
ined the old Jim Miller bridge over
the Blue Earth river, west of Amboy,
and has found it badly wrecked by
the wind. The east end is out of line.
1t is safe for. light loads, but unsafe
for heavy ones.

SEVERAL ARE LOSERS.
Recent U. S. Supreme Court Decision
Affects MankatO Parties.

Several Mankato parties are caught
by the recent decision of the United
States supreme court that the state
never acquired title to any land in the
territory known as the Red Lake In
dian reservation. Prior to chat time
the state had claimed, by. virtue of the
general grant when it was organized,
that it owned sections 16 and SO in
each township. The federal govern
ment claimed that the state only had
title to such land in the case of those
sections that were actual public land
and open to settlement, and that the
Indians owned the reservation land
A. E. Clark called on State Auditor
Dunn the other dayto see what can be
done toward making good the losses
on Improvements mdae on such land.
Several of the purchasers of such land
had consulted him.

A TEMPORARY DELAY.
Milwaukee and Great Western Roads
Cannot Agree.

There is little mitch between the
Milwaukee and Great Western roads
over their joint use of trackage and
passenger depot in this city which
may delay the consummstion of their
plans. While the matter may be ad-
justed at any time, the prospect is not
at present favorable for the early set
Element of their difficulties.
The Great Western road has station
ed a man on it's track north of the city
to prevent the Milwaukee from con-
Meeting up. The Milwaukee has grad
ed up to the Great Western track on
the latter's right of way, but has laid
no rails yet. 1t is unfortunate that
the misunderstanding has arisen.
1t seems sure that the Rock Island
has lately acquired the line from Red
Wing to this city, and is after the
Minneapolis &c st. Louis. This may
have had something to do with the
matter, as the Rock Island.and Mil
waukee roads are strong competitors
at all points.
1t is believed that the present
trouble cannot long prevent the Great
Western from extending into the city
and using it's property and extend
ing west.
The Great Western did not forcibly
prevent the Milwaukee from going in
to the new Laird Norton yard, but
simply pointed out that such an ex-
tension would interfere with its yard
plans.
A rumor that the four roads are
intending to build joint passenger
depot seems to lack confirmation
None of the depot agents have heard
of such a report, and they discredit it.

SCHOOL ELECTION
Messrs. Fletcher and Keysor
wiz =. 4uH.
Mr.. COmSt0Gk and DR.. Webster Will
Accept a Reelection at the
Hands of Their Constituents.

The school board election will be
held week from S Saturday. The
members whose terms expire this year
are l.. G. M. Fletcher, Clark Keysor,
W. L. Comstock and DR.. Webster.
Messrs. Comstock and Webster will
stand for reelection if their friends
so desire.
Mr.. Fletcher states that he has de-
cided definitely not to be a candidate
for reelection in the first precinct.
He feels that the time has come when
he should retire and take it easier.
Living so far from the meeting place
of the board, it is no easy task for
him to attend the meetings, having
to drive both ways. His family is
also opposed to his being a candidate
for re- election.
81. l.. Schmitt has been mentioned
as a possible candidate in the first
precinct, but he states that he does
not desire the position. His brother,
j. W. Schmitt, is favorably mentioned
and may consent to run.
When approached today on the sub
ject, DIG. Willard declined to become
d candidate.
In the second precinct, it is said
that Capt. Keysor has concluded not
to be candidate again. He desired
to retire during his present term, but
the other members of the board would
not hear to it. No one has yet been
mentioned as possible successor.
1t is not known that Messrs Web
ster and Comstock will have any
opposition in their precincts. Geo.
M. Palmer in the fourth and W. D.
Tompkins in the third have been
mentioned, but 1t is not known wheth-
er they would care to become candi-
dates.
The position of member of the
school board is one that carries with
it much honor and responsibility,
but pays no salary. Care should be
taken that its membership sfculd al
ways DE of the best and most enlight-
ened citizens, who are in sympathy
with educational movements, and
who, while providing ample means
for the education of the young, will
not dispense the school money with
lavish hand.

Report Regarding Adam Schumacher
and Mrs. Zeigner.

The hearing in the proceedings tc
have a guardian appointed over Hen
rietta Zeigner was had in the pro
bate court Saturday. Her adopted
daughter has petitioned the court to
appoint E. R. Kennedy her guardian,
on the ground that she is not compe-
tent to care for her property.
1t is reported that Mrs. Zeigner
and Adam Schumacher were married
at Hudson, Wis, few days ago. 1t
was partly to head off this marriage
that the guardianship proceedings
were brought. Clerk of Court Thorne
had refused to grant the couple a
license until Mr.. Schumacher should
be able to prove that there were no
obstacles in the way of his marriage.
If the marriage has taken place as
reported, it is not known what effect
this will have on the proceedings to-
morrow.
