TRAIL OF BLOOD
Convict Tracy Kills two men and
Wounds two More.

CONTINUED FROM IST PAGF)
news of his appearance in town
was conveyed by butcher boy,
who went to the house to deliver
meat. The boy was met at the door
by Mrs Van Horn who. cautioned
him to keep quiet. She whispered
in his ear that Tracy was at that
moment eating his dinner in a room
adjoining the kitchen.
Ihe boy tore from the premises
posthate, and drove in a dead run
for F'emont. He stopped on the
main thoroughfare and related the
news. A number of men organized
and armed themselves and started
at once for the Van Horn home.
Patrolman Breeze, Neil Rawley, a
coal miner and J I Knight, local
insurance man, with Sheriff Cudi-
hee, fully armed. soon surrounded
the Van Horn house. The guards
were disposed at various places a.
bout the house.
Within short time, Tracy ap-
peared. He was walking between
the two men whom he had impres.
sed. They approached the horses
near tie gate. They passed within
six feet Of where one Of the posse
was crouching. By this time it was
getting dark Breese arose from his
hiding place and cried out Drop

two shots in quick succession.
Bresse reeled and fell to the ground.
Another Of tne bullets entered the
body of Rawley, INJECTING a dan
gerous wound. Two shots were
fired by one OF the posse at the re-
treating convict, but neither took
effect. AS Tracy fled Sheriff Cud-
ihee jumped fence which he had
been stationed behind and fired
two shots in quick succession, but
neither took effect. Tracy fled into
the brush along the road, and dis
appeared. Rawley was wounded in
the right side. Breese lay dead |
where he fell at the crack of the
convicts deadly winchester. The
widest excitement prevailed in the
city sincs the appearance of Tracy |
in this vicinity. The governor has
out the militia, and has
offered a reward of So, 500 for the
capture of Tracy.

MORE SUBMARINE BOATS.
OF the United States Navy Builds
ans Forpedo Boats of the

Shortly the board of naval oonc+r,,,-
ton will take up for consideration +ba
SuoJecU OF increasing the number of
Sopluarlhe torpedo boats. There is like
~ ~ pe d diFls1on of opinion on the
mater. III is said that Rear Admiral
O'NelI, chief of ordnance, and Chief
constructor Hichborn are in favor of
building more boats of that tyDe.
whlle Rear Admiral Melville. engineer
IN chief, and Chief of the Equipment
Bureau Bradford are not disposed to
favor the idea. Secretary Long will
probably be guided largely by the ad-
wee OF his experts in making recom-\
mendatlons to congress on the SUBJ
ject.
There are some fattering reports
relating to the Holland, which is he
ginning to see practical service. The
boat, naval officers say, has contrib
uted anew and menacing element to
naval operations and has presented
new problems which must be met.
capt. Folger, commanding the Kear-
sarge, already anticipated this when
ne suggested provision of light tor
pedo boats to guard against the in
Vaslon by submarine boats.
1t has evidently become necessary
say the naval strategists, to add small
picket boats to the cargo of a big
ship in order to offset the effect of the
submarine boat. The seven boats of
the latter type now under contract
Will provide liberal strength in this
respect, but some of the naval officers
believe we should continue the work.
Others believe we should await the
result of the trials of the boats now
under contract and take advantage of
any improvements which may be sug-
gested.

Petitions Asking Governor Geer to

and Generally Signed
Other News.

salem, July 1.-The Capital Jour-
nal says: Much as the people gen.
orally distrust and fear a session of
the Legislature, they are rolling in
the petitions for a special session.
| While the organs Of the politi-
clans and grafters are opposing
the proposition of enacting flat sal
aries, the people, regardless of party,
are demanding this reform.
Petitions have been received since
the last report from citizens of
Wilhoit, Clackanas county; Fair
field and Scots Mills, Marion coun-
ty; forty citizens and business
men of Independence, Polk county;
citizens of Salem and Gervais; OF
Gervais, Maclay, Pratum, Marion
and Suver.
! The above have been transmitted
to Governor Geer and placed on file,
and new petitions are being circu-
lated by scores of persons.
Salem, July 1.-The Capital
Journal says: After making his
campaign on the fiat salary propo-
sition, nd winning his election Oh
that proposition, Governor-elect
Chamberlain will not drop the sub
ject, if the republicans fail to meet
and put the law into effect.
No one can doubt that he will
make the failure prominent in his
message, and Will back up his
message with action that will be
very embarrassing TO the party in
power.
Refusal to hold special session
means to drfer for four years what
was promised in plain language in
the republican platform. Chamber
lain will do some plain speaking
and palmer acting. in such a case
of failure to perform a paramount
duty.
He can veto all bills carrying ap-
preparations for unconstitutional !
salaries, and the people will sustain
him. He can sue to recover back |
to the state all the fees and perquis-
ties that have been pocketed by |
state officials for the past four years,
and the courts will have to sustain
him.
Chamberlain can make the re-
pnblicans no end of trouble and be
only performing his plain duty un-
der the constitution which he takes
an oath to uphold and defend. And
who can blame him and who will
censure him?
We are not saying that he will do
these things but the people will be
very much disappointed if he does
not after the campaign he made a.
sainst unconstitutional fee and per-
1uisites, and unlawful, roundabout
payment Of salaries to state Off
oials.
