He was shot three times under the| heart, and even as he appeared to view he lurched to one side and fell unconscious. As Williams collapsed Tracy disappeared.

Deep underbrush grows between the trees, with here and there a cow path winding in and out. He went along one of these until he struck the road which follows al- most the same route as the rail- road from Bothell ‘to Ravenna. He walked toward the Ilatter place and came upon Johnson, the farmer, who was traveling in his wagon toward his home north of “this ' place. Tracy stepped up to Johnson and said: CAPTURES A FARMER. “I am a Deputy Sheriff and one of the men on Tracy's track. I must go to Seattle at once, and need your wagon. You will drive me toward the city as quickly as possible. There is no time for delay.” He spoke quickly, but without | the least trace of excitement. He hardly gave the farmer time to| answer befcre he had sprung to the seat at his side and ordered | Fen nim, | man. Johnson .to drive on. The last| heard: of ithem they were going! toward Seattle. Perry Vincent, ' another farmer, who also was driving along the road, saw them. He learned the facts in the case from Johnson as they passed each other. Continued on Page Two. BA NDIT ESCAPES BULLETS A Stage Passenger Fires at a Bold Highwayman. Taken by Outlaw, Surprise, Runs to Cover. et Daring Attempt Near Truckee to Steal Treasure. Special Dispatch to The Call NEVADA (‘Y'r"jJuly 3.—At 10 o'clock this morning the stage running between Fruckee and Sierra Valley was held up by a lcne highwayman at the top of Sage which is just over the line in Sierra County. The driver, Al Richardson, and ten pase sengers were taken completely by sur- prise. The robber carried a rifle, and hig face was covered with a black mask. He stepped from behind a large tree. His sudden appearance frightened the horses, and Richardson quickly obeyed the com:- mand to stop. Standing on one side of the road the highwayman commanded the ten pas- sengers aboard to step out and line up. When all had got out Richardson was given orders to. throw out the Wells, Fargo Company’s express box. When in- \‘ formed that there was no box aboard, the bandit became enraged and made a search for the express treasure. While he was so engaged one of the passengers saw an oppertunity to combat with the highway- He drew a revolver from his pocKet and the road-agent was dumfounded. Hse evidently realized that the passenger had the drop on him and quickly took to his heels, making haste through the woods. While the fleeing highwayman was dodg- ing between trees and brush bullets were fired at him but it is thought be was not wounded. The bandit was evidently unacquainted with the situation, as the express box was carried only as far as Overton, eight miles from Truckee, where it was left with the agent. A large amount of treas- ure was carried to Overton, and the rob- ber used poor judgment in his attempt at a hold-up. Before asking for the treasure box he informed the passengers that he had no intention of molesting them. The passengers were nearly aill from San Francisco and on their way to Campbell's Hot Springs. When the stage reached Sierraville the news was telegraphed to officers for miles around and a search is now being made for the bandit. Among the passengers on the first and a second stage which soon arrived were: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Miller, Miss Edith Miller and Miss Ella Deming of Sacra- mento; Arthur W. North of Woodland, L. G. Burpee and Mrs. W. Frier of Oak- land, F. B. Edwards, D. N. Jones and 3. G. Peterson of San Franecisco; Mrs Wil- hoit, Miss Terry,- Mrs. D. Totman of Stockton and Mrs. R. B. Young of Slerra- ville. | CONFERS WITH PRESIDENT ON CUBAN RECIPROCITY Chairman Payne Convinced That There Will Not Be an Extra Session of Congress. WASHINGTON, July 3—Chairman Payne of the House Committee or Ways and Means to-day conferred with Presi- dent Roosevelt in regard to Cuban reci- procity. Upon leaving the executive quar- ters Payne, In response to questions on the subject, said he was satisfled that reciprocity with Cuba would be effected at the next session of Congress by an al- most unanimous vote in both houses. The method by which this will be attained, he said, would be by treaty.
