Seattle, Wash. July lS,-A special to
the Post Intelligeneer from Enumclaw,
Wash, says:
After two days Of inactivity the
man-hunters are once again hot on the
trail Of Harry Tracy, the outlaw con-
Wet. AT $3.50 o'clock tonight the blood
hounds We're placed on his track, and,
after following It for three-quarters OF
mile, lost II In dense swamp that
borders the road leading from here TO
Buckley. The wires have been kept
humming for two hours with messages
to surrounding towns and 1t IL be-
| lieyed that Tracy will be either killed
or captured by noon tomorrow Tracy
was seen at o'clock this afternoon,
| one and half miles east OF Enumclaw
| by Clarence Burke l0-year-old boy
lie was sitting near the edge Of
| gravel pit as the boy passed on a
| bicycle, Hallng the lad, Tracy In
quired the road to Buckley. The lad i'm.
parted the information desired and
then, Fastening into town, impaired
the news Of what he had seen. The m
formation was telephoned former Sher-
III Woolery, In charge Of the posse at
Enumclaw, by Sheriff Hartman OF
Pierce county, who happened to be
here, and also Deputy McKillen at
Buckley. Woolery and five guards pro-
cured team as soon as possible and
came here with the bloodhounds. They |
were placed on the trail and followed II |
for three quarters Of a mile. II was |
very dark when the hounds were |
thrown of the scent at the swamp, |
and after consultation, the posse We
cided to cover all possible avenues OF |
escape and wait until daylight, before
trying to follow the trail further. The |
instant the bloodhounds struck the |
scent they strained at the leash and |
bayed In manner indicative OF being |
on the trail Of the convict,
The description given by young |
Burke, without the behavior Of the
houds, shows plainly that Tracy has
once again been located II is believed
that Tracy is heading directly for
Buckley. When he was at Frank Por-
taut's house along Green river Friday
night he asked the farmer to take rig |
and drive him TO Buckley. He was told
that the horse was too old to stand
such trip, and replied that he would
have TO start for there without q team
His appearance on the Buckley road,
east Of here, and within three and
quarter miles OF his destination, shows
that his questions were not intended TO
throw his pursuers OF the trail.

Notwithstanding the general belief
that outlaw Tracy is on me Ye ,ps,o OF
wounds and illness resulting from ex-
posture In the wet brush. he managed
to keep hidden from the officers all day |
This was especially disappointing TO the
four sheriffs now camped on his trail,
as they had led him an exhausting |
chase up 10 last night and hoped TO
push the pursuit TO an actual encoun-
ter today.
Vigilance Is being doubled and the
encircling Gordon about the district
where II was almost certain the man
was hidden was stronger than ever
The deputies secured the neighborhood
all day long. but beyond unbelieved
reports OF the oonvlct's appearance
near Enumclaw, nothing was seen or
hea rd of the dosperado
The officers hopes, however have not
wayered and the hunt Is being pushed
with greater zeal than ever because
Of censure directed at them by citizens
who feel that the convict should have
been captured long before this The
hunt is 10 be continued through to-
night and tomorrow without cessation.
as the sherlffs are convinced that the
convict Is within the territory guarded
by the deputies and posse members.
