A FREQUENT Lament.

All that is mortal of Jack Russell

lies among strangers in far-away
Manila. Peace to his ashes. If
every one to whom he has done
some kindness would place upon his
tomb a rose, he would sleep beneath
a wilderness Of flowers"
Such is the lament of the Todd
County Times over the vain loss of
one the community highly priced.
And that is but one instance. 9th

stricken homes are IN every part of

END OF TRACY.
Kills Himself to Avoid Being
Taken Alive.
The rIost Daring and Desperate
Criminal of the Last
Decade.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 8. Harry
Tracey, escaped convict, murderer,
outlaw and desperate, is dead!
The man who has for weeks and
months defed the law, and EXHIBIT
ed the most wonderful daring, is
now as harmless as a babe. The
man who made his escape two
months ago from the Oregon State
prison, since which time has killed
four of his Pursuers, murdered his
fellow-mate in crime and wounded
a number, ended his own wretched
life in d wheat6eld near Fellows, a
few miles from Spokane, at 4:30 this
morning.
A short time prior to his suicide
he had engaged in a battle with a
posse of pursuers and received a
wound which disabled him and
rendered him an easy prey to the
army OF manhunters constantly on
his trail.
Seeing that capture was newt
able, the fred a bullet through his
head.
Following the direction in which
Tracy made his escape, the posse
came upon his lifeless body, a
CHASTITY wound telling the tale.
The trusty revolver was still
tightly clutched in his hand; his
rifle, with which he has laid sever.
al faithful officials low and routed
nervy posses, was lying near hin
on the ground.
Thus the ambition of detectives I,
take him alive and gain a world
wide reputation was thwarted.

Tobacco sales this week we're
about the same as those the week

being offered now. as about all the
Tugs have been sold. Prices remain
unchanged. The growing crop is
very uneven and is being cut short
on account of lack of rain. From
present indications there will not
be more than 20 per cent. of a crop
in the dark tobacco district and
this estimate may be too high.

PROMINENT MICHIGAN CITY MEN
VISIT THE CITY.
They Are Interested I'm the Location
of Naval Training Station
Visitors at the Hotels.

1--WE are going right ahead and try to
get the naval. reserve training station for
Michigan City" remarked Judge H b.
Tuthill at the Grand Hotel yesterday
Judge Tuthill came down from Michigan
City in company with Mayor Kruger to
talk with Admiral Brown in regard TO the
station. I'VE saw the admiral" continued
Judge Tuthill, land he explained to US that
the station the government thinks OF build
ing on the great lakes will be similar to
school at Norfolk, Va. 1t is for the train
Ing of petty officers for the navy and will
be calculated to attract the attention OF
the young men of the central West. The
navy is wanting good men, and 1t Is
thought that station Of this kind on one
of the great lakes will have tendency to
cause more young men to enlist. In regard
to what we have to offer at Michigan City
we can furnish harbor that is clear or
ice from five to seven weeks longer each
season than any port on the lakes, includ-
ing the ports on the south line of Lake
Erie. We have a harbor sixteen feet deep.
from $50 to 200 feet wide and a mile and a
quarter in length. The people Of Michigan
City are In earnest about this matter and
we are doing everything we can to get the
station. We have been assured by the
commission appointed to select place for
the station that the commission will visit
Michigan City and investigate our claim.
