= Tracy was averse to giving up his plan,
but finally said:
W. ell. it's certain I can't walk there To-
night; l guess I'll have to give It up.'
In the early morning Tracy left the
mousse, said Potot. continuing his story
He told us before going that he would kin
us both If we left the house during the
night. We remained indoors until this
morning. He said he intended to remain in
the vicinity. and would be sure to know
what we did
Tracy went to Fred Brooks ranch after
leaving Potot's house, and probably slept
In the barn. At o'clock this morning
Brooks encountered Tracy in the BARNARD
Tracy ordered Brooks to throw I'D his
hands, but Brooks, who was armed trop-
ped to the ground. Tracy fired as Brooks
went down, but missed.
Before Brooks could do anything Tracv
vas on top of him. and made him hold his
hands high in the air. Tracy took Brooks
revolver away from him and disappeared
in the brush back of the barn
Brooks corroborates Potots story that the
outlaw Is In bad physical condition. Blood
hounds and posses of picked men were
rushed to the vicinity of the Potot and
Brooks houses today, and it is believed that
the end OF the hunt cannot be far off.
Sheriff Cudihee is confident Tracy will not
last much longer.

every point OF interest to the public,
and investigation proved that his re-
port was correct in the minutest par
ticular. The press was thereby en-
abled to give it's readers a true and
accurate statement of the sad affair
without exaggeration or attempt at
sensationalism.
The magnificent generalship of Mr..
Horn and his able assistants, Dan
Boyle and Trainmaster George OFT,
was the admiration of everybody who
witnessed their work in clearing the
wreck. Mr.. Cantine, who arrived
about the middle of the afternoon,
also rendered valuable assistance in
directing the force Of men present.
The officers of the company spared
no expense in clearing the road for
the resumption Of traffic, and per-
formed a remarkable feat of engineer

MISS MATHEsoN DEAD.
Sudden Death Of Former Billings
Young Lady.

- 70. LfL La[ NNAaHE
Helena newspapers the
death Of Miss Eleanor Matheson,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Matheson, which occurred at that
place last Saturday. Miss Matheson
had been in poor health for sometime
and it was considered that the only
hope CT prolonging her life lay in an
operation. Several days before her
demise she was removed to st.
Peters hospital and the operation
was performed last Saturday. The
shock to her system proved too great
and she survived only a short time.
Miss Matheson is remembered here
as a child, her parents having former
ly made their home here. Her father,
who is a brother Of Judge Matheson,
was the second mayor of the city. The
family left here several years ago and
the young lady practically grew up
in the place where she died. She
was highly esteemed by all that knew
her and was a great ~favorite in the
social circles of Helena.
The funeral took place yesterday
afternoon. Owing to the short notice
received by them, none of the young
lady's relatives in this city was able
to attend.

As was reported in Saturdays Ca
the entire contents of the mail

as a result of the collision near Rap

When the massive locomotives

did the same way, and a continuous
string of truckless cars extended

Aand two cars in No. 4.
The remainder Of each train was
saved by the passengers coming to the
rescue and pushing the other cars
back out Of reach Of the flames.
Friday evening the First National
bank received a request for $1,000 in
currency from the bank at Columbus.
They shipped it that night and sup
posed it went on No. 8, and had ar
rived safely. This morning they were
notified by the Columbus bank that
the money had not reached there and
the bank here communicated with
the railroad authorities and learned
that a package OF bills with the ends
burned off and a quantity of melted
silver had been found in the wreck
age.
There is enough of the package OF
bills left to establish its identity and
the bank will lose nothing, as the
government will make up the loss in
new bills. The silver is worth only
it's bullion value and there will be
some loss on that. However, the
amount was but a small part OF the
shipment. :
