TRACY KILLS HIMSELF.

Harry Tracy, the noted Oregon
outlaw and escaped convict, com
mitted suicide Tuesday night of
last week near Spokane, Wash.
when he found that all hope of re-
tanning his freedom had fled.
Tracy had been peysistently hunt
ed down by officers of the law ever
since he made his daring escape
from the prison of Salem, Oregon,
on June 9th. He killed nine men
in the meantime and fatally
wounded two others. He did not
hesitate to murder his pursuers
when it became necessary to avoid
capture, and this accounts for the
large number who biz the dust at
his hands. The fatal ending was
only brought about by Tracy's
having been wounded and his early
capture was a matter of certainty.

Lee Henkle got the surprise o1
his life yesterday afternoon. He
was at the c. & E. depot as usual
when the train arrived, and as
passengers alighted approached
them to secure their baggage
checks. A tall, elderly gentle
man held out his hand to Mr..
Henkle. This was an unusual
thing for stranger to do,
but Lee accepted the profered
courtesy. Then ashe glanced
at the strangers face he near
lily fell off of the platform
The tall, elderly gentleman was
his brother. The two had not
met in thirty years. So Col
Henkle, of Lake View, Oregon,

that he was gong west, ne dlo
not state at the time the exact
point OF his destination, nor
definitely his business.
It appears that a complication
had arisen over the right, title
and possession of the grain ware
house at Philomath. The ware
house was leased by the c. & E.
R. R. Co. to w. A. Westgate, of
Albany. Ben Felger was the
local agent for Mr.. Westgate,
The property was claimed by E.
M. and E. 7. Howell, Of Oregon
City, under deed from Receiver
Maxwell of the Oregon Develop
ment Company. The deed to
the Howells to the property was
confirmed by Judge c. B. Bel
linger in the United States cir
cult court something like a year
ago. Said deed is recorded in
this city.
On the Sunday following his
arrival in Phi1omath, Mr.. Somers,
representive of the Howells,
forced an entrance to the proper
ty and took possession. Mr..
Somers is pretty we'll acquainted
in this locality, having prac-
ticed law in this city several
years ago. No one molested him
in his new abode until Monday
evening. when Mr.. Felger, agent
for Mr.. Westgate, appeared on
the scene and demanded that Mr..
Somers quit the premises. The
latter did not see fit to comply
with the request, but told Mr..
FeIger that his employers laid no
claim to anything that might be
stored in the warehouse and that
it might be removed at any time.
Wednesday afternoon special
train carried Supt. Con Sui
livan, Mr.. Westgate and others
from Albany to the scene of the
dispute. On arriving there, Mr..
Sullivan demanded that Mr..
Somers surrender possession OF
the warehouse Immediately. This
Mr. Somers did not see fit to do,
and words more forcible than
polite were exchanged. Mr..
Sullivan is a large man, while
Mr.. Somers is a 129.pounde1
when he is fat. Mr.. Sullivan
concluded forcibly to eject the
little man who sat so compla-
Gently on an empty barrel dur
ing the battle of words. He
"yanked" Mr.. So1ners from the
barrel-but he did not 60 far.
Then commenced a sort of ser
pentine dance in the course o1
which Mr.. Somers coolly began
to attach the grapevine twist
on Con and the latter called fol
reinforcements. Mr.. Fe1ger re-
sponded promptly and Mr.. Som.
ers was shown the ''open door
with Mr.. Westgate pushing him
from behind. Thus ended that
particular chapter.
Since then men have been de-
tailed by the c. & E. Company
to guard the property day ane
night. Mr.. Somers has hovere
about IN order to keep in toucl
with the situation. What th'
outcome will be is yetto be seen
