MOOSE AND LOCOMOTIVES.
The Usual Result Of Their Coming To-
gether.

Bangor (Me) Corr Of the New York Tribune.
The spunky and stubborn bull moose has
again been defying the locomotive In Maine.
with the usual disastrous results-to the
moose This time whole moose family
was wiped out in about ten seconds, maxi
ing a great waste of big game and lot of
work for the section men.
1t was on Tuesday last that the engineer
of freight train on the Bangor and Aroo-
stock road, as his locomotive rounded a
sharp curve on a down grade, saw on the
track few rods ahead three moose-a big
bull, cow and a calf. He sounded The
whistle. expecting to see the whole family
make q break for the woods, but they
stood their ground. and the bull. with a
snort of defiance. braced himself for the
combat. swinging his great antlered head
as though he expected to toss the loconio-
tive skyhigh.
The Shrek of the whistle sent men sour
rying over the tops of the cars, setting
brakes. while the engineer had the brakes
on locomotive and tender clamped up so
tightly that the wheels were sliding and
smoking over the rails. The speed OF the
train and It's momentum were too great,
however, to be overcome in the short dis
lance. and down swept the fast freight
upon the heroic moose family. There was
crash and a crunching under the wheels.
and fragments Of moose went whirling
through the air. 4
When. few rods further on, the train
was brought to a stop 1t was found that all
three Of the moose had been killed. the car
casses Of the COW and the calf being thrown
some distance from the track, while the
carcass of the bull had been ground under
the wheels At the next station the section
boss was informed. and a crew was sent
back to bury the moose family. The men
said that the bull was monster-one of
the largest ever seen along the line of the
Aroostook road.
A few days ago a train on the Intercolon-
ial railway ran race with a big moose
which was promenading the track near
Dalhousie Junction. The moose ran for
half a mile or more at surprising speed.
and then. finding that the footing was bad
on the ties, left the track and ran along
In the ditch. Here the animal tried to
jump a high wire fence. but stuck half way
over and hung there while the train came
up. One of the passengers says that the
moose looked puzzled and ashamed when
the train passed him.

Graphic Account of HoId-Up on Bur
Iineton and Quincy.
Lacrosse, Wis, Aug. 6-The Bur-
lington train which was held up near
Savannah arrived here at 10 o'clock,
and 20 minutes stop was made for
breakfast Engineer John q. Mooney
of Minneapolis, told vivid story of
the hold-up. He said:
The robbers stopped the train by
swinging white light AS soon as
it stopped two men jumped into the
cab and covered us with revolyers.
One of them told the fireman to cut
off the engine. After this was done
the man who was pointing d gun at
my head, told me to pull the engine
up aways, and ran her up half mile
Then they ordered me to jump off
and we walked back toward the train
where we were joined by the express
messenger and another robber. They
took us to the rear Of the buffet car
and told us to sit there. One of the
robbers left us. They worked for
an hour blowing open the safe, and
finally brought the engine down again
and all of them got aboard it. A few
feet from the train they told me to
jump off and run, which most as
suredly did They ran the engine up
Z miles and left her dead"
Mr. Mooney believes that the rob
bers killed one of their own number
either purposely Or accidentally. Sew
eral shots were fired, some by the
robbers and the rest by the express
messenger, The express car had two
holes blown into it's bottom and was
left at East Dubuque. 1t is believed
the five bags of money contained

With Revolver.
Spokane, Wash, Aug. 6.-Harry Ira
cey, the outlaw, killed himself in
wheat field near Fellowes at 4:3O a.
m. He was surrounded on the Eddy
farm and for four hours carried on a
long range rifle duel with the posse,
which was headed by Sheriff Gardner.
Tracey was wounded in the right
leg between the knee and the thigh,
and 20 minutes later knowing that
his capture was certain, he killed him
self with revolver.
Harry Tracey escaped from the Or
egon state penitentiary at Salem on
June 8 in company with David Mer-
rill. after killing four men, Frank w.
Ferrell, G. r. T. Jones and B. r. Tiff
fany, guards, and Frank Ingraham,
convict, who tried to prevent his flight.
On July 80, near Seattle, in fight
with a posse, Tracey shot and killed
Charles Raymond, a deputy sheriff;
f. II. Bresse, a policeman, and mortal
ly wounded Neil Rawley, who died on
the following day and wounded Carl
Anderson and Louie Seafrite, newspa-
per reporters.
Tracey committed many feats OF
daring 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 food and clothing and by
threat to murder their families, com
PEELED them to cover up his tracks
Perhaps his greatest show Of daring
was displayed on July at South Bay,
near Olympia, when he held up six
men and forced four, including Cap
tain Clark, of large gasolene launch,
to embark with him on Puget sound
and pilot him up stream for ten hours.
In 1897 Tracey murdered Valentine
Hoge, a Colorado cattleman and VIII
liam Strong, a boy in the same state.
A total reward of $4,000 was offered
for his arrest Governor Mcbride,
of Washington, offered $1,000 for his
capture, dead or alive. The state of
Oregon offered $4,000, and a brother
of one of the guards killed at the pen
itentary offered 800.
The reward for Merrills capture
amounted to 1880, which has been
claimed by Mrs. Waggoner, the ber-
ry picker, and her son, who found the
body near their home.
