day afternoon, near Palmer. Had
they known that he was within
fifty feet of them, as he knew they
were, q battle would certainly have
resulted. - :
The incident happened at the
house Of Farmer Pautot, a few
miles from Palmer. Tracy appear
ed there early in the day. He ask
ed the old man if he could buy
food. The farmer said he could,
and together they entered the
house. There, Tracy revealed his
identity. Mrs. Pautot supplied him
with a pie and milk. Tracy busted
himself with asking questions
about the roads, the adjacent coun-
try and neighboring towns as he

Interrupted by the sound OF vehi-
Gle coming along the road. In an
instant, the outlaw, who was con-
stantly alert, listened to the racket
of the rumbling conveyance, and
then took action when convinced
that the noise he heard was not i'm
aginary. Selling his rife, he quick.

chair by the table and sidestepped
into the bedroom adjoining the
kitchen, which is also the living
room. Crouching low, gun in hand,
Tracy pulled the white curtain a.

ing of the travellers. Through this
peek hole he could see everything
for 100 yards on either side OF the
house, up and down the road. A
moment later the vehicle hove into
view, flied with armed men who
wHre menbers of the posse. In the
buggy were Deputy Sheriff McGee.
Fred Burner and four others, who
were then driving to points along
the county road near Green river
to station themselves. The men in
the rig did not pause moment at
Pautot's to make inquiries. as is
generally the custom, and thus
missed battle with the enemy
whom they were so eagerly search
ing. The moment the desperate
saw the possemen, he doubtless be-
lieved they had heard of his where

brought to bay. The spirit of the
man at once asserted Itself.

the window to one side against the
wall where he stood perfectly mo-
tionless, with the stock Of his rifle
resting On the floor. All his nerve
was needed at this crucial moment,
and he expected the deputies to
halt the buggy, walk up to the
house and ask for information. I'm

that was theirs, the officers ratified

and the print of hands, also like a
woman s, lead detectives to believe
that a woman burglar, robbed the
house of Jahn J. Battam, at No.
113 Courtland street, last night.
Mr.. Battam was away from home
last evening with his wife, but left
the lights burning in three rooms
of his house. They were surprised
upon their return at late hour to
find that they could not enter the
front door from the outside. Upon
going to the rear door it was at once
apparent that there had been bur
glary. The kitchen windows were
up and the lights were out.
It was found by the police that
the house had been entered by
brea king a light of glass, slipping
back the catch and opening a wind
ow. Two bedrooms on the second
floor were in great confusion. Ar
ticles Of every description covered
the floor. The list of stolen prop
erty, worth over $1,000, includes
these articles:
Woman's gold watch valued at
$50; two rings with five diamonds
in each valued at $120 each; ring
with three small emeralds, $65;
large marquise ring, diamonds,
$175; large cluster diamond rings,
$1oo each; large marquise ring with
ruby centre, $12o; pin with three
diamonds, $75, and SAL in cash.

Butte, Mont, July 6-An at.
tempt was made early this morning
to chloroform a family of seven per-
sons by man who was frightened
away. His object, it is presumed,
was to abduct Eva McCafrey, a
quarter-breed Indian girl. The
perpetrator is believed to have been
Peter Dempsey, condemned mur-
derer, who escaped from jail a year
ago. He was enamored of the girl
prior to his arrest.

not based on proper regard for his
real character. Curiously enough
his.opponents are glad he is going
to make the trip, for they say he is
bound to do something somewhere
that will strengthen the Impression
they int nd to creath. There is no
doubt that the presidents swing is
for pure political reasons. He does
not want to see the colntry; he has
seen it all.
He wants to talk face to face viii
the people who have to elect dele
gates to the next republican con-
ventiop. He intends to make a
great play for Cuban reciprocity,
and he intends also to justify the
course of the administration in the
Philippines. Aside from that there
is personal reason. The president
likes the applause of the multitude
as well as as any man who has ever
been in public life.
Hanna intends to stay at home
in Cleveland most of the time. He
does not have to go about the coun-
try. He has an organization in ev-
cry state. His chief lieutenant,
Henry G. Payne, is now in Roose-
velts cabinet, but that does not
seem to worry Hanna any. Payne
and Hanna have been closely asso-
slated for many years and perhaps
Payne is in the cabinet for purpo5-
es of Hanna.
The only two expert politicians
who are sincerely for Roosevelt are
Senators Quay and Platt, of New
York. These men see in him an
opportunity to further their own
ends. They are not SO hide
bound in their loyalty that they
would not change if necessity re-
quired.
It is understood General James
S. Clarkson, recently appointed sur
veyor of the Port Of New York, will
soon 60 into the South in Roose-
velt's interest. Clarkson is an old
national COMMITTEES campaignsr who
has been rather discredited of late,
but who was taken care of by SEN
ator Platt and who will do Platl's
bidding. On the other hand, every
national committeeman in the South
is q Hanna man. There are not
more than five members of the re-
publican national committee who
will say honestly that Roosevelt
should be renominated.
A the matter now stands the peo-
pie seem to be with Roosevelt and
the politicians against hin. It is
two years before the nominating
convention will be held and politi-
clans can do a great deal in two
years. Despite Hanna's candidacy
it looks now, to the unprejudiced
observer, that Roosevelt would Sc
cure the nomination.
