that he had disappeared they felt
quite confdeut that they had hin
where they wanted him, and waited
quietly.
BY the time Tracy had disap-
peared in the wheat field it was get
ting dusk, and the pursuers did not
dare to proceed, as they did not
know whore the man was, nor how
ready he was to take "pot shot. J"
Therefore. after holding a consuta-
ton, they decided to surround the
place and wait for daylight.
In the meantime, Sheriff Gard
ner, with Policeman Stauf and
Gemmrig, of Spokane; Jack O'Fer-
rell, of Daven port, and other rein
forcements, had arrived on the
scene and went into camp around
the wheat field. Shortly after Ira
cy's disappearance into the field of
wheat the watchers heard a ehot
which sounded as though it came
from about the spot to which he
had crawled. No investigation was
made. however until this morning,
but that shot is supposed to have
been the fatal one and to have been
responsible for sendiug the notori-
GUS desperate into the Great Be-
yond. '.-
AS soon as the first rays of morn
ing light Redeemed the eastern sky
and it was possible for the hunters
to see everything going on around
them, an advance was made.
Some of the party soon came a.
cross the lifeless body of Harry
Tracy, the man who had sent SO many
human beings to their last resting
place, and who, after being badly
wounded, committed suicide as the
last of a long list of crimes
The body was lying face upward.
The left hand, thrown over the
head, held a45-caliber Colts revolv-
er, which had evidently, infiict-
ed the mortal wound. The thumb
of the hand was on the trigger of the
pistol. The right hand, thrown a.
cross the lower part of the body,
firmly grasped the barrel of the now
famous 30.30 Winchester, as though
the inanimate thing was more dear
to him than all else.
Upon close examination Of the
body, it was found that the wourd
which resulted in the outlaws death
was inflicted by the 45-calibre re-
volver held close to the forehead.
The top of his head was badly
mangled, and blood had oozed from
the wound, making the sight an
uncanny one. Two bullet wounds
on the left leg showed the cause of
the mans despair and subsequent
suicide. One of these shots had
broken his leg between the ankle
and the knee; the other one cut the
tibial artery, which Of itself was
sufficient to cause death.
1t is believed that both of the
shots were received after the con-
vict left the shelter Of the rock and
made break for the wheat field.
In keeping with his usual ingenious
methods, the convict had taken a
strap which he had with him and
buckled it tightly around his leg in
an attempt to stop bleeding. His
efforts did not succeed, however,
and despite the tightly fastened
strap the blood continued to flow
until he: realizing his hopeless con-
dition, ended the struggle.

Tracy Warns Cudihee

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 6-Harry
Tracy, the outlaw, is surrounded in
a swamp near the Eddy farm, II
miles southeast of Creston, Wash.
For four hours before the special
messenger left for reinforcements, a
long-range rifle duel between Tracy
and the posse of eight men headed
by Sheriff Gardner had been in
progress. ,.
This news was brought to Cres-
ton by Jack McGinnis, liveryman
of Harrington, who is a member of
Sheriff Gardeners posse. He was
met near Creston at II o'clock last
night by newspaper correspond
ent, who, with another man, had
left at a. N. for the Eddy ranch.
McGinnis proceeded at once to
Davenport for reinforcements. Ira.
cy fingered near the Eddy ranch
house, which he had occupied for
two days and nights. A young man
who saw him there gave the news
to Gardner, and the sheriff at once
raced with his posse to the scene.
A telephone message from Daven-
port at 12:4O a. M. states that Nc
Ginnis reached there shortly before
midnight. Twenty-Five armed men
have already left IN wagons for the
scene of the battle. Sheriff Doust.
of Spokane county, is also enroute
to the fugitive's hiding.place. In
his party are eight or 10 armed
men. Another wagon load of man

morning, and more will go as soon
as daylight breaks.

Dubuque, Ia, Aug. 5.-Two
masked men held up the Chicago
& Quincy, two milee north of Sa-
vannah, ILL.,, at II o'clock last night
They cut off the Adams Express
I car, forced the engineer to run up
the track and then blew up the car.
The robbers had torpedoed the
track, and when the torpedoes ex-
ploded the engineer quickly brought
the train to stop. One man board
ed the engine and ordered the en-,
gineer to run ahead, after the other
man had uncouplsd theexpress car.
Trainmen hurried to Savannah and
gave the alarm, and a posse of Off
GERS and citizens armed with shot
guns and revolvers have FASTENED
to the scene. The limited is said
to have carried heavy and valuable
express. It is reported that the
robbers secured about $4,000. A
later report says:
One of the highwaymen was kill
ed, probably by mistake by one of
his comrades. Six sacks Of money
were secured, but the amount is not
known. The passengers were not
molested. Four explosions were
required to complete the destruction
of the safe and the car was badly
wrecked. The robbers were eight
in number, all masked. Evidently
they were railroad men, one being
a good engineer. William Byl, the
messenger, fred five shots at the
robbers, but without effect, and an
attempt was made to blow him up
in his car.
The bandits had arranged to ditch
the entire train, had not the signal
to stop been needed. Several pas
sengers in the buffet car, including
the porter, were held prisoners dur
ing the struggle to crack 'the safe.
The body of the dead robber was
put on the tender and carried by
the others a short distance and then
thrown into the weeds. The dead
robber was stranger in this vicin-
ity.
There was no way to telegraph
in news of the hold-up, and the fire.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Friends and de Drink EviI


Indianapolis News.
The Friends closed their fifth year
meeting with an appeal to all the
churches for united effort in making
head against the drink evil that must
command general respect for it's serious
tone and argument It proposes no i'm
mediate crusade. 1t has not the know
all, self-sufficient and arrogant quality
that makes the iudicious grieve at so
many well-meant efforts in this direc-
ton The Friends are convinced that
an earnest effort should be made TO
learn in what way Christians can be
brought to exert a united influence in
the cause. but how this is to be done
they say frankly they do not know. To
the end that such a way may be found
they ask that Christian bodies meet in
conference at Washington in March,
1906. 1t is a good long ready, but the
elaboration no less than the tano~ of
the invitation are factors that make for
permanency.
To our way of thinking the Friends
have touched a place in the effort
against the drink evil that needs
strengthening. There is not impressed
on the time a sense of the unity of the
churches in battling with this evil. But
recently Bishop Potter dealt the cause a
body blow by palliating drunkenness
Even the secular press demurred to the
conclusion of this Christian bishop OF
course it is the church's business to be
something more than a total abstinence
society; indeed. it might be put posi-
lively that it is not the church's bust
ness to be total abstinence society
Founded on such = narrow basis il
would not and could not he the means
of spiritual life to the nations. IT is its
part to tell men to be true; to urge them
and helm them to live uD to the stand

formed sobriety takes it's place inevita-
blv and without argument

Bangor Commercial: One of the curl
GUS things in the Massa chusetts election
returns is the great gain in the Socialist
vote. While the increase of the Repub-
lican vote over that of last year was
only about per cent and that of the
Democrats was 40 per cent, that of the
Socialists made an increase of 30 per
cent. Although the party under differ
ent names has had a hand in five cleo
tons in Massachusetts, this is the first
time that the party has prosecuted its
campaign under the distinctive banner
of Socialism. In Boston there was an
increase from 1,2S1 to S,142; in Cam
bridge-under the shadow of old Har-
vard-the vote increased from ia to
912: in Lynn from 272 to 1,O31; in Wor.

the indicator floats. and it took fire I'm
mediately the tank exploded Several peo-
pie who were in the kitchen seized the
stove and started to pull it out of doors.

kitchen and on the porch. but the damage
was small
