The pair were heavily armed, having taken away the guns of two of tie posse in Ger- vais last night. Tw®members of the posse were return- ing home in a buggy at 10 o'clock whea they were held up and their guns and buggy appropriated. Tracy and Merrili drove away after entering a house in the village and securing food. An_hour later the horse returned without a driver. / PLAN AN AMBUSCADE. A carefully planned ambuscade was prepared by Tracy and Merrill this after- noon, which the pursuing posse rarrowly escaped. Six shots were exchanged be- tween the outlaws and the officers. There were no casualties. Merrill and Tracy were discovered in a wheat field at 3 o’clock by Benjamin Fish- er, a Salem youth, who was with the militiamen from Woodburn. The fugitives saw the guards at the same time and concealed themselves. Fisher would have fired, but was prevented by the militia. Word was sent to Sheriff Durbin, who was with Guard Carson and the blood- hounds in another direction. The dogs were quickly placed in the field, where a earch began for the scent. The animals ran back and forth along the fence until, passing out the other side, they struck a warm trail and followed it rapidly. The trail led the pursuers into a shady lane which suddenly dipped into a gully. Before descending Carson glanced on the other side, through the tree branches, and saw a natural barricade of stones across the path. Fearing an ambuscade, he talked with Durbin, who entertained a similar premonition. A 'halt was called, but David Sulllvan and a number of others in the posse wished to' continue. The pursuit had so excited them that they became careless. Durbin commanded that all refurn, say- ing that it was useless to proceed and sacrifite good lives for those of th “scrubs” In hiding. After a protest th posse consented. FIRE AT THE POSSE. The pursuers had not retreated far when a shot was sent at them from the direc- tion of the barricade. The plan of the fu- gitives was now apparent, They wished to tempt their pursuers to a disastrous at- tack. The position of the criminals was such as to give them command of the lane in the hollow and each member of the e e posse could have been picked off without a show of resistance. WILL WITHORAW WIOOW'S CLAM A. A. Sanderson, attorney for Miss Jen- nie Dutrit of Paris, will present a peti- tion next Friday asking for leave to com- promise the claim against the estate of the late Calvin F. Fargo, whose widow she claims to be. Miss Dutrit has con- sented to withdraw her claim against the estate of the late liguor dealer upon the payment to her of $9000. Fargo died two years ago, leaving an estate valued at $330,000 to his nieces and grandnieces. His most intimate friends had never heard that he had been mar- ried, and consequently they were great- ly surprised when former Judge A. A. Sanderson came forward and announced himself _as the legal representative of Jennie Dutrit of Paris and prepared to commence an action to secure a widow's share of the estate. Miss Dutrit claimed that she had been married to Dutrit in 1872 at Gretna Green, Scotland. Knight & Heggerty, as attorneys for the executors of the Kargo will, secured a delay in the legal steps about to be taken in behalf of Miss Dutrit, with the resuit that the matter never came up in court. Offers were made’ the French claimant in order that a long legal battle might be avoided. She finally consented, and through former Judge Sanderson notified the executors that she would waive all claims against the Fargo es- tate upon the recelpt of $2000. Fargo in his will bequeathed $30,000 to Edward PFargo, a son of Miss Dutrit. GROCERS TO FIGHT THE TRADING STAMP New Secretary Appointed and Steps Taken to Protect Members Who Sell Liquor. The Retail Grocers’ Association has de- cided to tackle the problem. of suppress- ing the ubiquitous trading stamp. It in- tends using the method that has been successful on the other side of the ba viz., securing the agreement of the ind; vicual' retail grocers not to use these ex- pensive parasites for a limited time. Alex McDonald, well known among local commercial men, has been chosen as sec- retary of the association, to fill the_ v: cancy catised by the resignation of John C. Stammer, who was forced to retire on account of ill health. One movement in particular is being figured on. is a concentration of the forces of the retail grocers in one or- ganization to meet the question-of the proposed raising of the liquor license. The Retail Grocers’ Association has now nearly 500 members, but as there are 1400 grocers in the city, this leaves in the neighborhood of 900° retail dealets who have not allied themselves with their fel- lows. It is expected to have a member- nhljn of at least 1000 before election time, and a mass meeting of retail grocers is to be held on Wednesday, June 25, steps will be taken to have each r in the association take up the work of se- curing the co-operation of his neighbors. ————— Thrown Out of Cafe Royal. M. Fass, a hat and cap maker, swore to a complaint before Judge Fritz yesterday afternoon for the arrest of “John Doe' on a_charge of battery. He said he had jost $65 at poker in the Cafe Royal, and when he went there yesterday and asked for a dollar he was grabbed by the arms and thrown out by the cashier. OREGON , EXECUTIVE . WHO ORDERED OUT MILITIA TO ¢ - The posse went to an orchard near by, and Oscar Gleason of Salem saw one of the convicts in the ferns some distance Off. Gleason fired and the outlaw feil. Four more shots were sent by Gleason into the moving ferns. There is no reason to doubt that Tracy and Merrill planned to trap the posse and thus disorganize the guards on the road and make a break for a new locality. Governor Geer arrived this evening to look over the situation. COAL STAIKERS MRE_ CONFIDENT WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 11.—“Well, sentlemen, the anthracite strike is com- plete, and we are going to win.” This emphatic statement was made to the assembled newspaper correspondents by President Mitchell in his office at strike headquarters to-night. With refer- ence to the soft coal strike in West Vir- ginia, Mitchell safd: “At present there are 28,500 mine work- ers on strike in the West Virginia field. Reperts from Virginia, where there arc 3600 mine workers, are incomplete, and I therefore cannot say anything as to that State. I think we will win that State too. Suspension in West Virginia will cut oft a large amount of soft coal that is shipped to the Atlantic seaboard, but there is no connection between the an- thracite strike here and the bituminous suspension there, I received word from West Virginia this morning that National Board mem- ber William Morgan and Organizers Hag- gerty, McKay, Springer, Noon, Poggan- ini and Edwards were arrested in Fair- mont to-day for alleged violation of an in- {unction granted the operators, I do not now the exact purport of the injunction, but I believe the arrests were made on the strength of sn injunction granted in 1897. 1 have wired to employ counsel, give bond and have the injunction dissolved.” With the exception of a gathering of a crowd at the Willlam A colliery of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company at Duryea, the entire Wyoming Valley was very qufef to-day.

Residents of Honolulu Fear Disastrous Seismic Disturbances. — Scientist Predicts Great Activity in the Smoldering Island Cones During the Month of July. Soecial Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C., June 11.—The steamer Mauna Lgg, which had arrived at i.ono- lulu from the west coast of Hawaii short- ly before the steamer Aorangi, which reached here to-day, sailed from the isl- and port, brought news to the Hawallan | capital which created great excitement. Kilauea, the vblcano on the island of Hawaii, was in eruption on June 1. There were two eruptions, in the form of gas explosions, the second occurring about | three hours after the first. It was at 9 o’clock in the morning that the first ‘eruption was noticed, and Kilauea then sent up clouds of red ashes, sulphur and smoke. The second explosion followed at noon and was similar to tne first. Neither caused any damage, but the natives living in the vicinity of the voleano were greatly excited and a more seérious outbreak was feared. Purser Simerson of the Mauna Loa reported that smoke and steam were still arising in great volumes, and it was the belief in Honolulu that the volcano would soon be throwing up larger clouds of volcanic matter. SECOND ERUPTION VIOLENT. Purser Simerson received telephonic messages from Manager Waldroa of the Volcano House to the effect that the second eruption was much greater in vio- lence than the first, and sent out a very large quantity of ashes and s(gllpnur. Oniy a siight trembling of the earth accompa- nied the outbreak. At Kjlauea just prior to the departure riving at Honolulu reported having sight- ed the flashes of fire, Captain Townsend of the schooner Eclipse saying that he saw them quite plainly. ; SERIES OF EARTHQUAKES. Along the eastern coast of Hawali and seventy-five miles from Kilavea earth- quakes were experienced on May 51, and again during the latter part of the week. Buildings were shaken by the shocks but no serious damage was done. The Aorangi brought news of a volcanic eruption farther south. From Fiji news was received of an earthquake and vol- canic disturbance at Mount Lautoka on April 30. The vibrations were felt for several seconds, traveling from north to scuth. No gerious damage resulted. Professor Curtis J. Lyons of Honolulu predicts volcanic disturbances on the isi- ands. In an interview he points to the coincidence that at the present time the atmospheric conditions are practlcally in keeping with volcanic disturbances, and that the same causes which produce the sultry weather on the Islands produce such eruptions. The moon and sun are just now overhead. EXPECTS GREAT ACTIVITY. The moon is new at this time, and Pre- | fessor Lyons would not be surprised to | hear that by July 4 or thereabouts there | was conslderable activity in the Hawaiian | volcanoes. The first eruption of Mount Pelee took place about the time the new moon was showing, and again an erup- }lon took place when the moon was at the ull. | Speaking of the showers of ashes that | are reported in the explosions at Kilauea | last Sunday, Professor Lyons says that | was quite unusual. He says that Kilauea | has welled up with lava. HI&Y HONOR OFFICIATES AT A TRIPLE WEDDING | Superior Judge Shields of Sacramento | Makes Six Folsom Hearts Beat as Three.

Fields; Lafayette F. McGrath to Nettie Grace; John M. Warne to Jennie D, Fugua.
