CONVICT STILL
 Al LARGE

Although special deputies are still searching for the escaped con- vict nothing more defenitely has been heard from him. Some of the men on the Santa Rita claim to have talked with the convict yester- day morning while he was under the wharf, but Marshal J. NJ. Miller says this must have been a mistake for the wharf and water front is carefully guarded.
 Last night several special depu- ties were sworn in for the search and a systematic hunt was made in the neighborhood of the bridge at Mile 4, but no trace of the man could be found. Guards have been stationed on the Dyea water front, Skagway water front, wharf, and along the White Pass. All the sma row boats have been elected and are fastened to the ship Dauntless, anchored out in the waters of Lynn canal, and a close watch kept on them.
 It is expected that the escaped convict will come to town for food or for tools with which to take off the Oregon boot.
