TRACY IS HARD TO CATCH

Who Are After Him.
KILLS ONE MAN AND WOUNDS THREE
Has Battle with sherin's Posse After
eavin Launch, but Comes out
Unhurt and to
Get Away.

SEATTLE, Wash, July S.-Tracy, the es-
caped oregon convict, in a battle with a
Seattle posse near Bothell this evening
shot and instantly killed Charles Raymond,
a deputy sheriff from Everett, who Joined
the pursuers, and dangerously wounded
Deputy John williams of this city. Carl
Anderson, a newspaper man, was slightly
grazed on the arm. Louie Zeefrit, another
reporter, was wounded in the face. So in
tense is the excitement over the killing
Of Raymond and the wounding Of Williams
that an effort is being made to have Gov
ernor Mcbride call out the state militia.
Tracy was last seen below Botbell and
was headed for Seattle in a wagon. A spe-
cial train, carrying more than twenty-five
men armed with Winchesters, has left for
the scene. The first posse was composed
Of Deputy sheriffs Williams, Nelson, Nc
Gee, Beinice and Snyder.
Tracy was seen walking the track Of the
Seattle & international railroad about 1880
this morning by Jack Freeman, night
J Waterman at the State university. He at
I once notified the sherif's office and the
pursuit began. The posse Of deputy sher-
IFS was soon Joined by a number Of citi-
zens.
According to the late reports, Tracy was
concealed in a cabin on the banks of Squak
slough, two miles from Bothell. When the
posse came in sight Tracy commenced ar-
ing. Williams and Raymond were both hit.
Tracy then receded and concealed himself
in the cabin. Anderson claims to have
fred three times at Tracy, but does not
know whether he hit him.
Sheriff Cudihee was at Issaquah when
word Of the battle was first received and
Immediately left for Bothell. Winchesters
have been provided by a local hardware
store and the hunt for Tracy is now on in
earnest.
