TRACY, THE OUTLAW, DEAD.
Kills Himself to Prevent Capture by
Posse, Which Had Him Cor

Spokane, Wash, Aug. Harry
Tracy, escaped felon, IL ulti-murderer
and terror of Washington and Oregon,
is dead at last, slain by his own hand
True to the daredevil egotism of his
spectacular career, he disdained cap
ture or death at any hands but his own
and died suicide, facing great odds
and coolly giving battle till his ebbing
blood made further escape or resist
ance impossible.
Tracy was hunted down by posse
of Creston citizens. He was surround
ed in a wheat field near Fellows, sta
ton on the Washington Central rail-
road so miles west of Spokane. He had
engaged in a running fight with his
pursuers, but while his hitherto I'M

among them, two of their shots had
wounded him in the right leg, one bull
let severing an artery.
Hiding in the wheat field, he had
tried in vain to stanch the flow of life

New York, Aug. 9.-The Cuban
American league has issued state
ment concerning the Cuban loan,
which states if the planters are to
be aided, the Cuban soldiers paid and
the Cuban bonds honored, the help
must come Immediately, in order that
Cuba may command future credit.
The loan required, $33, 100000 it is
said, was not not too large. Before
the war Spain sold bonds based on
her Cuban revenues for $500, 900,
from which liability the United States
relieved Cuba. The league suggests
that Cuba. authorize her banks to cir
culate a national currency based
upon their holdings of Cuban nation
al bonds, which bonds the United
States should guarantee. These
bonds should be issued so that if
Cuba ever became part of this coun-
try they would become solely a
United States debt.

carries two bullet wounds, inflicted by
Sheriff Collins during the duel in the
street.
1t is believed the men were impli-
Gated in the recent holding up and
dynamiting of Burlington train, and
the looting of the express car.
Each of the three was well armed
and made fight that indicated desper-
alton.

his nurderous enmity to his hunters.
he put his revolver to his head and
sent bullet into his brain. Soon after
daylight Wednesday morning his body
was found. Thus closed the career OF
probably the most spectacular des-
perado and outlaw ever known in the
far west.
At dawn Sheriff Gardeners posse
found Tracy's body lying face upward
amid the grain. In his left hand he
held revolver, and the shattered COZ.
dition of his forehead left no doubt
that he was his own slayer. He had
buckled a strap around his leg in an
effort to stop the bloed that gushed
from the tibial artery when it had been
cut by a bullet. The body was taken
directly to Davenport by the sheriff.

EXPRESS TRAIN ROBBERY.
Bold Hold-Up on the burlington Near
Savanna, II1.-Booty Secured
One Bandit Dead.

- Savanna, Ill, Aug. 6.-The Chicago
Minneapolis limited express train on
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail-
road was held up, the express ear dy-
namited and $4,000 in the custody of
the Adams Express company made
away with at 1870 o'clock Tuesday
night. The scene of the robbery was
Marcus, small flag station eight miles
from here. The engine and express car
were detached from the train and run
down the road a short distance, where
the robbers completed their work. 1t
is known that at least two men par
ticipated in the robbery Both were
heavily masked and armed.
Chicago Aug. THE bandits that
held up the Burlington limited train
near Savanna, ILL.,. Tuesday night have
left but one clew behind them This
clew' is the bullet-riddled body of a
man who participated in the robbery.
The belief is that, having been wound
ed by shot from Express Messenger
By's revolver, the band, fearing that
the victim would fall into the hands of
the train men and thus prove wit
ness against them, decided that as
dead men tell no tales, it would be
policy to kill him. This they did, cool
ly adding murder to the heinous crime
they had already perpetrated
Strenuous search and keen investi-
cation by the detectives all day
Wednesday proved unavailing, with
the exception of the capture of two
suspects who may be able to throw
some light on the affair. The only real
clew that the officers have is the re-
mains of the dead bandit.
