Needy, ClscKamas county, June 49,
Tracy and Merrill broke through the
Gordon that had them surrounded near
Gervais Wednesday night and with
something like $50 miIitiamen, deputy
sheriffs, constables, city marshals and
private detectives in their wake, the
outlaws yesterday proceeded on thier
way over hill and dale in the direction
of Portland. They we're last seen near
this village, where they took dinner
and five pounds of bacon at the resi-.
dence of a farmer. Sheriff Durbin,
who alone of all the motley throng has
been pursuing the fleeing c0nvicts, has
kept within reasonable shooting dis
tance of them, threw out line Of dep
uties and soldiers last evening around
what was supposed to be their position.
Then he and his trusty bioodhounds
went to Aurora to rest, for three days

of Clackamas county, has now assumed
command, having hurried to Molalla
Corners at the behest of his brother

the Oregon City militia company, which
left at S:SO last night, and as he has
the advantage Of being ahead Of the.

which had come In force In the be.
