The Outlaws Sensational Career.
Tracy escaped from the Oregon state
penitentiary at Salem on June 8 in
company with David Merrill after kill

r. T. Jones and B. F. Tiffany, guards,
and Frank Ingraham a convict who

Tracy killed Merrill near Napavine,
Wash, shooting him from behind and
leaving his body in the forest, where
1t was found on July Is. On July 3
near Seattle, in fight with a posse
Tracy shot and killed Charles Ray
mond, a deputy sheriff; E. e. Bresse, a
policeman, and MORALLY wounded Neil
Rawley, who died on the following
day, and wounded Carl Anderson and
Louie Zafrite, newspaper reporters.
Tracy committed many feats of dar-
ing during his flight, in the course of
which he eluded various posses when
apparently surrounded and held up
numerous farmers, whom he forced to
furnish him food and clothing and, by
threats Of numbering their families,
compelled to cover up his tracks. Per
haps his greatest show Of daring was
displayed on July at South Bay, near
Olympia, when he held up six men and
forced four, including the captain Of
large gasoline launch, to embark with
him on Puget sound and pilot him up
stream for ten hours.
In 1897 Tracy murdered Valentine
Hoge, Colorado cattleman, and Will
liam Strong, boy, in the same state
A total reward Of $1,000 was offered
for his arrest. Governor Mcbride of
Washington offering $4,000 for his cap
ture dead or alive. The state of Ore
gon offered $1,000 and brother of one
of the guards killed at the peniten-
tiary offered 500.
The reward for Merrilrs capture
amounted to $500, which has been

some Of our eloquent Nebraskans jour

grasshoppers had even eaten the tires
of wagon wheels and were devouring
the railroad tracks. Why, our people

The reservoir will be located just above

VIOLATE RULE
OF THE ROAD
Tramways System Menaces Public
by Turning Its Cars to
The Left.

The only violations in Honolulu of
the established order of keeping to
the right of the road" come from the
Hawaiian Tramways Company, the
management of which continues to
have its dilapidated cars turn to the
left on every switch in operation on its
lines. Ever since the Tramways COM
menced operations in this city it has
chung to the English custom of keeping
to the left where two cars pass each
other. The regulations in every city,
town, hamlet and cross roads in the
United States are always keep to the
right
That the old custom of the Tram
ways lines is dangerous, has been
shown on numbers of occasions, and
only yesterday an incident occurred
which illustrates the point. Two gen.
tlemen, evidently strangers in the city,
We're driving out Beretania street to-
ward Punahou. When near Alapai
street, where one of the Tram switches
is located, they encountered a car be-
ing driven toward town. The gentle
men We're driving close to the switch
on the lower side of the street and
evidently supposed that the car would
on the mauka side of the street To
their astonishment the car came into
the switch nearest them, and they had
barely time to swerVe and escape a col
ision. The ark from town had not ar
rived on the scene, or the strangers
may have been warned of the manner
n which the cars pass each other.
The Rapid Transit Company inaugu-
rated its system with switches which
provide for the cars to turn to the
light.
