TRACY A MONTANA MAN.
First Crime Was Committed at Dill
Ion-ReaI Name Is Carr.

Pie. T.F
Spokane, July 8.-"Quote Tracy's
real name is Carr" said O. R. Rose
of Dillon, Mont, a former sheriff of
Beaverhead county. Mont, today.
'"Tracy's first crime was committed
at Dillon when he was only Is years
of age. He stole a key of beer from
the station platform and I arrested
him and assisted in the prosecution.
He got so days in the county Jail and
was out but a short time before he
robbed a rancher and was given one
year in the state ~penitentiary for the
offense. Nr2ts-
"After his release he robbed a lum-
berman's camp and disappeared.
81 did not hear of him again until
he escaped from Jail in Utah and got
away to Colorado. The warden of
the penitentiary sent me a photo
graph at the time Tracy escaped and
I recognized it at once as the picture
of young Carr.
while in the p~enitetniary at Deer
Lodge, Carr got letters from his faith
er in Missouri and I remember his
saying he had come from Missouri
to Montana to be a cowboy. Carr was
a reckless youth when I first knew
him and after his first crime he seem
ed to take rapidly to further lawless-
ness"

At 8 o'clock we started through the
timber toward Renton. Just before
we reached the railroad bridge over
Black river we met four men and
Tracy said, Hello, Fred" and jump

a few minutes. Tracy then left n
OF the men to watch me, he and three
others, after blindfolding me, went
OFF and stayed about an hour.
When they returned they brought
a bottle OF whisky. Then we started
out. Tracy forced me to walk in
front and he followed, accompanied
by the four men. We arrived at Rem
ton about II o'clock, and walked up
the railroad track through the. town
one and a half miles east of the brick
yard. Here Tracy tied me up and he,
accompanied by the four strange
men. left me. They returned at day
light this (Tuesday) morning and we
went further back into the brush and
cooked breakfast. After breakfast
Tracy told me he would go away for
a while, but would come back in an
hour. When he returned he brought a
little boy from Jerrell's house and we
walked down to the Terrell place to-
gether. We were in the house about
three hours when Tracy took me out
into the brush. At the river bank he
said, Lie down. After looking up
and down the river Tracy tied me up

arrive there before 4 o'clock this af-
ternoon.
Some time between Saturday night
and Monday night Tracy reached the
city of Seattle. The Johnson boat,
in which he left Port Madison, ac-
companied by the man Anderson, on
Saturday night at 9 o'clock, was
found today at noon with a chain at
tached to the bow, thrown over a
boom of logs at the wharf at Newell's
mill, on Seventh avenue south, in
South Seattle. The boat was seen
there last night but no attention was
attached to it at that time. Today,
about noon, one of the mill employees
noticed for the first time that the
boat answered in every way the de-
scription of the Johnson boat.
Mr.. Newell, owner of the mill, i'm
mediately telephoned to police head
quarters and Detective Adams and
Officer Bevan left for the mill at once.
There a further examination of the
boat was made and it was a%scertained
beyond any doubt to be the Johnson
boat.
A rapid investigation in the neigh
borhood revealed the fact that two
men we're seer leaving the Newell
wharf late yesterday afternoon. One
of them was armed. It is believed
that these two men were Tracy and
Anderson. ..@ -
