 TRACY'S WIFE THINKS
 HE KILLED MERRILL

' Tacoma. Wash, August G. ' Tracy's wife in Tacoma has been ' located. She goes by the name of ' Ely, and lives in an alley in the < rear of Tacoma avenue.
 < She has been following the < newspaper accounts of the convict's < fight, but declares that she has no < further interest in him.
 < She says that when she read in % the papers the report that Merrill
 < had secretly given information to
 < the police which resulted in Tracys
 < conviction three years ago, she
 < knew that Tracy would settle with
 % Merrill If the opportunity offered
 \ The fleeing convict's wife was
 < shown the statement of Mrs. Van % Horn, of Seattle, at whose house
 < Tracy stopped for several hours
 % last week.
 % Tracy said to the woman that a
 % few days after he escaped a man
 % met him on the outskirts of Port < land and gave him a newspaper ' with the report of Merrill's du- < plicity.
 % When this was read to Mrs. < Tracy she said: You may put 1t % down for the truth that Tracy kill < ed Merrill just as ne said he did" < It is reported here from Boston, < Mass, that Harry Tracy. the es- < capped convict. who is leading the ' state of Washington officials such . a chase, was eight or ten years ago . seer about the Castle street district . of that city, when that district was . one of the toughest sections of Bos- . ton; also, that 1t is understood he > served time in the prisons of that % state. .

caused his ruin. Goldfinch, instead of be- ing sufficiently terrorized to keep peace, soon spread the news ana aroused a posse.
 Posse in Pursuit.
 The death was intensely tragic. Five determined citizens of Cresron, hearing of his presence at Eddy's, took their rifles and revolvers and went after him. They knew their man and acted accordingly. When Tracy ran they plunged boldly af- ter him. Sighting the men, and securing his rifle, Tracy sought cover behind haystack, escaping several rire bullets. The posse then found cover behind a large rock and for a while 1t looked like siege. Then Tracy broke for a large boulder laying on the edge of small wheatfield, and this dash, was his un- doing, for just as he came to the rock he fell forward, a rifle ball having broken one leg. He plunged into the wheat leaving a bloody train.
 After receiving the wound he crawled seventy-five yards on his hands and knees in order to reach a spot that would command the posse and enable him to fire upon them. But once only was he able to fire from his vantage point. Then, weakened by loss of blood, he tried to staunch his wound, failed, and with his revolver, sent bullet through his brain.
 By tnlS tune QuSk ndu ldllSii diiu ehO posse, unaware of the seriousness of his wound and fearing that his silence was intended to lure them into deadly ann bush, posted themselves to prevent his escape and patiently waited for the dawn. During the night others came on the scene and joined in the cordon, but at daylight it was plain that the outlaw would do no more firing. His body lies tonight in Davenport, where sheriff's posses and others are disputing its posses sion.
 Governor Geer Notified.
 Salem, Ore, August Ex-Governor Geer today received a telegram from Constable c. A. Straub of Creston, Wash, telling of Harry Tracy's suicide. He telegraph ed Shariff Gardner of Lincoln county Wash, suggesting that the body be em- bamed and forwarded to Seattle for iden- tifcation by the Washington authorities for the purpose of paying the reward and asking that the body be forwarded from Seattle to Salem to the Oregon author ities.
 Governor Geer stands ready to pay the reward to the men responsible for his death. No one has been sent from here to identify the remains but Deputy War | den A. c. billy of the prison, who is on a | vacation, is believed to have gone to | Spokane with the governors secretary, Walter Lyon, and he will identify the re- mains.

Des Moines, Ia., August GA spe- cial from Mason City. Ia., says:
 w. J. Bryan, who addressed an audi ence of 2000 at Clear Lake today, was asked if he had been correctly quoted when it was reported he refused to again be candidate for President. He replied that only part of the inter view was used. He said he was not a candidate in the light of seeking to again lead the democratic party, but if the party should decide he was the proper man to head the ticket he could not honorably refuse. He said he believed the money issue to still be prominent. but republican admins tration in the Philippines and the trust problem were sufficient issues to make a campaign upon.

OPENED AT PITTsBURG.
Magician Kellar at Pittsburg- He
Comes Here Next Monday.

The Alvin opened for the season
last night. kellar the magician, a
popular performer in Pittsburg, was
the attraction 1t was the first time
in the history of the house that a
Saturday night beginning was at
tempted The experiment was a
success, for despite the very warm
weather a large audience was present,
says Sundays Dispatch.
Magician Kelars performance
embraces many of the illusions that
have mystified his audiences in pre-,
vious years. There is the Hindoo
clock, which answers questions of
the past, present and future in a
truly remarkable manner, also the
weird trick called Ely To, in which
persons are made to appear and dis
appear IN the most mysterious way.
The curious "Leyitation of the Prin
cess Karnae, y an unexplainable illu-
sion, showing the body of a young
woman suspended apparently in the
air. aroused the most tumultuous
applause. 1t is a trick that seems
to put all the known natural laws in
disorder
Kellar introduced a number Of new
experiments in the first part, some
of them quite startling, and all ex-
pressively interesting Old tricks
are also elaborated in such man
ner that they seem quite new. kel-
lar will continue at the house all of
the present week.

The Secret of success.

The secret of success is not so much
in knowing how TO make money as in
the ability to hang onto it.
But there is economy, safety, and
satisfaction in putting it away in the
Savings Bank.
The savings department of the
Farmers & Merchants bank pays you
interest on your money no difference
how small the sum.
The bank is open especially to ac-
comodate this business on Saturday
nights but deposits can also be made
at any other time In this depart
ment.
