had Just about the right time to make

Tracy was seen by some of the train
crews. Miss Collins when she went

Tracy to tell his name she went home

POSSE IN PURSUIT.
Tacoma, Wash, July 11.--At s o'clock
this morning Sheriff Cudlhee and
numerous posses arrived at Covington,
about IL miles from Tacoma, where
Tracy eluded the posse at midnight
Every train going toward the Northern
Pacific tunnel through the Cascades is
stopped and searched The location OF
the country Is such that Tracy may be
said to be naturally cornered In the
point of a triangle and therefore de-
velopments are momentariy expected.
AT il:45 a. m. Traoy's tail wag
picked up leading from Covlngton to-
ward Lake Taps. This route leads
through n seven miles stretch Of dense
forest without a dwelling. and would

A special to the Evening News from
Covington az 10 a. m. says:
All indications are that Tracy Is fol-
lowing the Palmer railroad cut-on up
the mountains. keeping IN the timber a
hundred feet or so from the railroad
tracks. II he started at daylight, he
now has five hours start OF the posse

Refuses to do His Duty.

Word came to Mt. Ayr Saturday
through reliable sources that A. M.
Hunter, who is serving life sentence
in the penitentiary at Ft. Madison, for
the murder of Homer Holland, that he
had become unwilling to work and had
refused to do that which was laid out
for him to do. AS is customary at the
state penitentiaries, such convicts are
put through course of punishment
that would induce any man Of human
nature to return to the work laid out
for him to do. The report says he has
been placed in the dungeon and is being
fed on bread and water, and is given a
..velve inch board to rest on at night.
When coyists are placed in the dungeon
they are completely shut out from the
world, and when left there any length
of time, even lose She track Of the
days.-Mt. Ayr Journal.

With mince sauce on the side;
When Mary saw the meat trusts bill,
1t shocked her so she cried.
Mary had little veal
A outlet, nicely broiled.
Her papa, for that veal to pay,
All morning sorely toiled.
Mary had a little steak
A porterhouse, quite small,
And when the bill came in she sighed
''No dress for me next fall"
Mary had a little roast
AS juicy as could be
And Mary's papa simply went
Right into bankruptcy.

She has better plan;
She VOWS its ladylike to be
A vegetarian.
