At dawn this morning the .Sheriffs and deputies of several counties making their leadquarters at Auburn and Covington started for the country immediately ad- g the place where Tracy was fired upon by the guards last night. Every part of the district. for several miles around was carefully gone over by the men, who expected at any moment to he: the crack of the convict's rific. "he wily fugitive, however, was not to be found, nor was there a trace of him. The description of last night's battle given by the deputies to-day has brought out the belief that Tracy was possibly wounded in the affray. . It appears that the convict was within but a very few feet when he was challenged by the guards. He jumped into the brush at the sound of the voices, but could have gone but a very short distance before the six- teen shots were fired from_ the rifles. -All the deputies who engaged in this en- counter are good marksmen, and, though but an indefinite idea of the convict's lo- cation could be gained, it is thought that at least one of the rifle balls must have found the mark. ESCAPE OF THE OUTLAW. Tracy’s Battle With Persons Who At- tempted His Capture. SEATTLE, July 11.—The extraordinary exploits of Tracy, the despeérado, appear to be without end or explanation. Sheriffs and deputies had him surrounded early this morning at the mouth of Suice Creek, near Auburn. Fingers were on rifie trig- gers, hounds were tugging at-the straps that held them and the capture or killing of the outlaw seemed certain. But a cordon of guards and a pack of bloodhounds have no_terrors for this fugi- tive. Tracy passed his pursuers without the slightest difficulty. When darkness fell Tracy was thought to be securely penned on the point of a western bluff, where he had lain con- cealed all afternoon. Though the guards were stationed thickly, one being posted every fifty feet, he successfully eluded them and traveled up the roadbed of the Palmer cut-off toward Covington, miles distant. At 1 last night Tracy arrived at the sawmill plant of the Covington Lumber Company, a mile from this place. Deputy Sheriffs J. A. Bunce, Fred C. Bunce, Gal- vin and Crowe had been sent to:guard this point. Deputies Crowe and the Bunces, father and son, had posted them- selves on the railroad near the sawmll at the entrance of a big cut through s five rise of ground, the Bunces being on._the outer guard line. i They were hardly settled when they heard footsteps approaching from the Au- burn side, but remained quiet until the unknown had almost come abreast of them, when the challenge to halt was given. * responded the stranger. ‘“What’s your name?’ demanded J. A. Bunce. ‘‘My name is Anderson.” As he gave this repl¥ Tracy, for it was he, started to run. The deputies again called upon him to halt, but he kept go- ing, and they opened fire, shooting four times each. Tracy ran up the traek and a4 few yards further encountered Deputy Sheriff Crowe. fl“V\'ho goes there?” challenged the of- cer. 4 ‘A ‘deputy,” coolly responded the out- 2w, Crowe, thinking it was the elder Bunce, started to approach, when Tracy com- menced shooting at close range, firing two shots. The bullets whistled harmless- ly by, but Crowe suffered slightly from the burning powder as it sped from .the muzzle of the rifle. After shooting, Tracy turne{)l and entered the brush u.fi)ng the side bf the track, where he was lost in the blackness, of the night a few feet away. The deputies made a hurried circle through the woods to Covington to head Tracy off, but on their arrival found that he had not passed the station. He at- tempted to board one of the eastbound freight trains, The grade is heavy at this point, but the train was running light and at such speed that Tracy was unable to board it. Another train passed and the conductor reports that while running near the sawmill some one called out for him to stop. As there are no deputies there at present it is thought Tracy was the man who called, and ‘the opinion {s ad- vanced that hée may have been wounded in the battle just before midnight. A man thoughl to be Merrill appeared yesterday. at the home of a farmer a.few miles east of Ravensdale, near here, and wanted food. He remained in the vicin. ity all day. e WARD'S BROTHER DOUBTS.

Along in the early part of the afternoon cheering word came from the innermost recesses of the mine that life yet lingered | in some of the bodies found. The res cuers made first for No. 4, the left head- ing, which theyshad been unable to reach the night before. Desolate even for the scene of a mine interior was the heading | that stretched out before them.

The man grasped fArmly a pickhandle and tried in ‘his frenzy to beat down his rescuers. He was overpowered and draggediback to the main heading and to the cars. Thirteen other living men were found in this chamber and physicians were quickly taken to the spot. At 3 o'clock the train of mine cars.came | to the pit mouth, where waiting ambu- lances stood. Kight men were lifted over | the sides of the cars, and, half-carried, wended their way to the ambulances. They were all'Poles. One big, strapping fellow among them collapsed as he reached the ambulances and doctors spent several minutes resuscitating Lim As the men were driven hurriecly to the Cambria Hospital, the train of coal cars with the physicians re-entered tite mine. In.another half-hour it came out again, this time with six living, but almost dead, miners. One man'in his paroxysms had locked his jaws so’that force had to be employed to pry them open for the inser- tion® of life-instilling fluids. These six were taken in an unconscious condition to” the Cambria : Hospital. One man brought out with this crowd, died just as he reached daylight. At that time three more headings, be- lieved to be filled: with the dead, were unsearched. ‘Thirty-nine bodies were ly- ing within reach in the main heading. » These were .brought out at 4:35 o’clock. The bodies were piled high in the coal cars and covered with canvas. Each ave evidence that death had come slow- y. One of the men had his mouth and nose tied about with a towel. The rest o‘t his face was burned beyond recogni- tion. The bodies of all were twisted into hor- |} rible - shapes, most of the arms being crooked so as to shield the face. The only body that could be identified at the pit ‘mouth was that of Fire Boss Joseph Tomlinson. One of the volunteer rescuers who came out with this load of dead said that fire ‘was raging in parts of the mine. Most_of those who were brought out «alive this afternoon had saved themselves by crawling into a chamber and turning the valve on the . compressed air line which runs along the entry. One man was found dead with his hands clutched so tightly about a monkey wrench that it could not .be removed.

DENVER LAWYER IN GRAVE PERIL FiremanWho Is Tiloughb Insane Holds Him Prisoner. DENVER, July 11L.—The police this evening received information that A. B. Sullivan, an attorney residing at 1638 Og- den street, was being held a prisoner and threatened with death if rescue was at- tempted by Michael O'Keefe, a locomo- tive fireman, at the latter's room on the second floor at 1008 Ninth street. Chief Armstrong, with a number of pa- trolmen and detectives, went at once to the place and found that O'Keefe had been holding Sullivan a prisoner since 1:30 in the afternoon, and declared that he would keep. him’ there until he received $17,000 which he declared Sulllvan owed him. He held a large revolver in. his hand and declated that if the police at- tempted to enter the house he would kill his prisoner at once. #Sullivan begged the police not to at- tempt a rescue, saying that he hoped to effect a release through the efforts of his attorney, and he was afraid that any- thing the officers might do would result disastrously. At mldnliht the lawyer was still a prisoner. The police believe O'Ilgfe(e is demented. There is a prejudice in the navy against giving a woman’s name to a war vessel of any type.

At the conclusion of the day’s work Mine Superintendent Robinson was asked what the plans were for continuing the work of getting out the bodies. He said: We will ‘work night and day and will not stop-so_long as there is-a single body In the mine. The fact that the firedamp is all out of the mine now. will facilitate work, but while there is much debris on the mine tracks that will_have to be removed before the cars can be taken to all sections of the Klondike, I do not think it will.take many hours to know. the extent of the loss.of life. Robinson would not discuss the pres- ence of gas in the mine, beyond saying that'it was never comnsidered sufficient to give alarm. The ‘company had five fire bosses and one assistant employed con- tinually and had taken every precaution to prevent disaster. State Mine Iuspector J. T.

W., WASHINGTON, July 11.—Upoén the result of a conference between President Rogsevelt and Secretary Root, who will leave for Oyster Bay to-morrow morning, will depend the answer of Governor Taft to the Vatican's note in the negotiations at Rome for the sale of the friar lands to the Philippine Government. It now appears that the American mis- sion will recede somewhat from the ex- treme provisions of its note to the Vati- can. This is not unexpected. The bellet here is that whatever concesslons may be made Gove; r Taft will be instructed to insist upn{.lzg withdrawal of all Span- ish friars and*monks and to fix a date for the completion of such withdrawal. The President and Secretary Root will ais- cuss the advisability of a compromise by ermitting their places to be taken by riars and monks of other nationalities.

Adams,Who Killed Oakland Dentist, Is De- | clared Sane. | : | SAN JOSE, July 11.—Charles G. Adams, who shot and killed Dr. John G. Jessup at Berkeley June 17, 1901, secured his release from Agnews Insane Asylum to-day on a | writ_of habeas corpus. When tried for murder Adams was declared insane and on that ground was acquitted. He was subsequently committed to the asylum. When Adams was culled to the witness stand to-day he talked rationally and said he was sane. He claimed that he .was drunk and under a great mental strain when he shot Jessup. Adams sald that | while in the asylum he studied law and de- | voted most of his time to reading. His nerves were shattered, he said, when he was committed to the asylum, but since then he had greatly improved in health. * Dr. J. A. Crane, the superintendent of the Agnews Hospital, stated that in his opinion-Adams was sane, but for pruden- | tial reasons should be confined a short e longer. "gr. T 5 Hateh, superintendent. of the State Hospitals for the Insane, was of the | same opinion. Judgep Lorigan, who heard the habeas corpus proceedings, sald he was satisfled that Adams was sane and he ordered his discharge. When asked if the events of the crime had affected his reason Adams replied: “I am sure they did@. It is impossible for a man of my intelligence to pass through such an ordeal and not be affected. I did not think myself insane at the time of the | trouble, but in the light that has come to me by reason of enforced total abstinence and pleasant surroundings I now feel cer- tain that I was then insane.” pulbwminass® ;L3 ADAMS SHOT HIS FRIEND. l Liquor Mainly Responsible for the | Killing of Jessup. | OAKLAND, July 11.—Charles G.

As soon as Jessup entered the bedroom, Adams shot him and he staggered back | downstairs, and died soon afterward. Adams was tried and acquitted on the ground of insanity, and subsequently com- | mitted to the State hospital. During the trial it was shown that he was incapable | mentally from long and excessive drink- ing. When he shot Jessup, the disgraced minister was in a state bordering on de- lirium treme: His daughter had on se eral occasions appealed to Jessup to pro- tect her from her father, and the doctor had not hesitated to take her part and force her father td desist in his ill-treat- ment. She was a nervous and physical wreck from the bitter experiences through which she had passed. For years she was her unfortunate father's companion and housekeeper. Blast Injures a Woodchopper.

The Vatican holds that if the Philippine | Government cannot compel members of religious orders to leave their parishes, the Vatican certainly cannot do so. ! _It is, of course, within the power of the | Pope to order all friars and monks to | leave their parishes, but the religious or- ders—Franciscans, Dominicans, Recolets | and Augustinians—are so strong that, in the face of internal church politics, it would not be expedient for his Hollness to take such an action contrary _to ths will of the orders. Replacing Spanigh friars and monks by others of different nationalities seems to offer an escape for a positive disagreement. Governor Taft objects to the Spanish friars and monks because they were tha right arm of the Spanish Government be- fore the war, have not since taken oaths of allegfance to the United States and thus are free to inculcate opposition in the native mind to the political regime of the civil government. L‘{pon the other points at issue Governor Taft appears to have come to a fairly definite understanding. He has steadfast- ly refused to consent to any provision for religious instruction in the schools. ROME, July 11.—It is understood that the question of the withdrawal of the friars from the Philippines could be set- tled immediately if Washington would ac- cept the oral assurance of the Vatican that they will be withdrawn ually. It is believed here that onl ident Roosevelt can decide whether such a promise shall be accepted. ADVERTISEMENTS.
