THACY KILLS TWO MORE .NEN.
THE FUGITIVE CONVICT FIGHTS HIS WAY
THROUGH ANOTHER POSSE-TROOPS
MAY AID IN THE PURSUIT.

Seattle. Wash July Harry Tracy, the con-
Wet who recently escaped from the oregon Peni-
tentiary last night killed Policeman E. E. Breese
and fatally wounded Neil Rawley. in this city
after having, early yesterday morning, muir
dered Deputy Sheriff Charles Raymond, Of Sno-
homish County and seriously wounded Deputy
Sheriff John Williams of King County Rawley
died to-day. In his hopeless flight for safety
Tracy has covered probably sixty miles He was
first encountered by a Seattle posse near BotheI
at $3.50 O'Clock yesterday afternoon Evidently
the convict caught sight of his pursuers before
they saw him. He had taken a commanding posi-
ton in a clump OF huge frs, and opened fire be-
fore he was discovered He fired five shots in all.
Raymond was instantly killed by one of the
rifle balls Another struck the raised rifle held
by Williams, splitting it in four parts, and en-
tered the deputy's breast. Williams Will re-
cover it is thought.
Governor Mcbride of this State. who is in
the city with Adjutant General Drain. is taking
the keenest interest in the case. He has offered
a reward of $500. and relatives Of the victims
of Tracy's rife have offered sums which bring
up to $500 the total reward offered for the
convcts capture.
A little after s O'Clock in the evening Tracy
located in the home of Mrs. r. II. Nanhorn,
at the southwest corner of Woodland Park. a
butchers boy brought the news to Fremont just
as Sheriff Cudihee drove into the suburb from
Bothen. The house was quickly surrounded,
but Tracy deliberately fought his way through
the guards killing Policeman Breese and NOR
tally wounding one of the guards Neil RaWley,
and disappeared into the brush toward RaVenna
Park Sheriff Cudhee twice had a bead upon
the desperado but was unable 20 fire, the
fugitive had taken the precauton to walk be-
tween two impressed men. As soon as the last
skirmish was and the body of the dead
policeman together with Rawley. who was
found to be wounded in the right side, could be
removed from the road, Sheriff Cudihee sum-
moned all the assistance available and began
strategic movements in order TO surround the
fleeing fugitive
Tracy went in easterly direction toward
Ravenna. He slept last night in a barn at
Ballard six miles from this city. He was seen
to leave the barn at $50 O'Clock this morning
At midnight last night Governor Mcbride
ordered that Companies and d, National
Guard assemble at their armOry and three
hours later the militia, in charge Of Colonel
George B. Lampng, were mobiliZed. 1t Is under
stood that Governor Mcbride has no intention
of calling the troops out, unless Tracy should
be ken alive. in which case they would be
used to prevent a lynching.
Boise Idaho, July AT Nampa a man has
been arrested whom the police believe to be

OF course. tn great bulk of sugar imported
into this country is raw. and most of it comes
from Cuba and Germany. As will be noticed by
the law quoted, the duties are levied according
"a ~ me t DuIch standard or the polariscopc test
ana II is generally estimated that raw sugar OF
hundred test would pay % cents pound,
ana lower saccharine strength would pay a
smaller rate per pound. 1t is seldom that cane
sugar runs over ninety-six test. and it runs
as low as 40 per cent. and even lower.
A cargo OF sugar arrives at New-York ana
begins TO discharge when il is sampled by the
officers of the Appraisers Stores. known as
government samplers and il is also sampled
10y the merchants samplers. The second, o.
merchants sampllng. is obtained for the pur-
poses OF the buyer and seller. and as a rule the
price paid for sugar by the refiner is the aver
age between the refner's test and the mer-
chants test
After the official samples are drawn for gov
ernment purposes they are locked in small cans
and again locked in boxes and carted to the
| Appraisers Stores, where the samples Of a
| given mark the sugar from given planta-
| tion mixed together and reduced down to
| three pound sample. About one pound of this
| is placed in tin cans, having secret numbers
| upon them and forwarded to the United states
| Laboratory for the polarscOpic test. The q. her
| two pounds sealed up in fruit jar and
held for about three months for possible contest
as to the amount of duties which ultimately
may reach the Board of Un ted States General
Appraisers
1t may be remembered that several years ago
a scandal occurred in connection with the
sampling and testing of sugars. The test of raw
sugar by the United States Laboratory has been
reduced to a close science, and the government
has little fear of loss in the collection of duties,
providing the sampling is done properly.

ENGINE MOWS DOWN THREE
RAILROAD DETECTIVES AND A FRIEND
KILLED ON THE NEW-JERSEY
CENTRAL

Three men, two OF whom were New-JersAy
Central Railroad detectives and the third
friend who frequently accompanied them on
their tours of duty, killed on the COM
panys tracks in the Greenville section of Jersey
City early yesterday morning.
THE DEAD
aT@ n@ ysa of age No Sc Phil
Wheien-st., Jersey city railroad detective
Finest. jersey city. ''''' ''' u w. i''
The bodies were discovered at 2:3O a. m by
James Lewis. an engineer. A report that they
had been killed by tramps and placed on the
track was found to be untrue by Chief of Po-
lice Benjamin Murphy and Central Railroad Of
ficials. The facts show that the men were prob
ably killed by a cameback drill engine that
left the Communipaw yards to go to Elizabeth
port about l a. m.
CosgrOve, Hanson and Smith left the Central
Railroad station at 1890 a. m. to go to the
freight yard at Claremont. They passed the
Communipaw station at l o'clock. and spoke to
the ticket agent duty. They continued on
their way, and were not again until Lewis
who driving his engine slowly, man
lying on the track just south of Communipaw
ave About two hundred feet north of that
point the second body found. These were
identified as Cosgrove and Hanson. A search
half mile away All badly mutiated,
and could only be recognized by their clothing
and articles found in their pockets The story
that they had fought with tramps decided
in the negative by the fact that the revolvers
carried by the detectives were found In their
pockets fully loaded.
The investigation made by Chief Murphy and
the railroad officials shows that the camelback
engine which is supposed to have killed them
passed the CommunipaW station a few minutes
after the men did. 1t was travelling on the
inner of the two westbound tracks. They were
on the eastbound tracks. but just south OF Com
munipaw station they were met by passenger
and freight trains, which were going into Jersey
City on the eastbound tracks. 1t Is be-
Iieved that in avoiding these trains the three
men stepped to the inner westbound track, dl-
rectly in front Of the camelback engine. and
that after they were killed they run over
by two westbound freight trains, which passed
over the tracks after. and one OF which
dragged Smiths body to where II was found.
1t was thought strange that the men should
have been killed without the knowledge OF the
engineer of the Cameback engine, hut railroad
men say that the engineer, supposing the track
ahead Of him to be clear, was watching the
freight and passenger trains that were passing
him at the time. That the accident occurred
without his knowledge is borne out by the fact
that he made no report of the accident. The
name of this engineer could not be learned.
The railroad officials said that they did not
know who was in charge OF the cameback
engine.
Cosgrove was married, and had daughter
ten years old. Hanson and Smith were not
married.
