GRANT JOINS IN PURSUIT OF TRACY Dexter-Horton property at Port Madison, is the one who order- ed Mr. Wist to make his report! to the local sheriff's office. Mr. Wist, in telling the story to Under Sheriff Corcoran,when he appeared at the sheriff's of- fice tly after 3 o'clock this morning, said: “Yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock a man appeared at Mr. Johnson's house at Port Madi- son and rapped loudly at the |front door. Mrs. Johnson an- \swered the summons and was. confronted by a rough appear- ing, smooth shaven man, who) said: ‘My name is Tracy, and’ you'd better let me in.’ With- lout waiting Tracy pushed past Mrs. Johnson and shut the door !behind him. Once in the house he said: ‘I know there are two men here, and your little boy. |I don't want to hurt any one, but I want to see them all right here in this room at once.” “As he said this he brought his rifle which he carried un- der his right arm, to the floor with a bang. Mrs. Johnson was very much frightened and| called loudly for her husband, who at once entered, followed | |man, and her little boy. As they came in the room the out- law ordered them to shut the |door and be seated. He stood jin the middie of the room with| \his Winchester ready for action | His order was without parley, when he said: ‘I want you to understand that I am a (desperate man. My name is Tracy and I would kill all of you were it not for that y \little child. I want all I can \get to eat, and all good clothes |you have about the house. If jyou do this, you will not be | harmed.’ “After saying this Tracy re- |treated to a corner of the room, | where he placed his rifle, sat on \a chair, drew a revolver from his belt and laid it on his knee. |Not a word was spoken up to jthis time by gany of the John- / sons. “After remaining seated a few) jetting the rest of the people. ove the table up here by me “John Anderson moved the table to the place indicated | Tracy, and Mrs. Johnson set it with plates for each of those present. : cy ordered them to draw up the chairs, at which he arose, removed his dark blue sack coat which he threw on the floor be side his chair.

The others did lit- tle else but watch him. “Mrs. Johnson had prepared four fried eggs, with a good ac- companiment of ham, potatoes, brown beans, a warmed-over Seovlionns pa which she strawberry preserves had only the day before put wy “Tracy ate with great r and di the meal he drank four cups of coffee.

The outlaw again secured a complete change of clothing, but took the articles he wore to that place with him, with the ex ception of the cap, which has been identified as the one pro- cured frpm Rancher Fisher at |Maple Leaf Friday morning. When George Wist arrived at the sheriff's office in Seattle with the story, he had overlooked a description of Tracy panes that he carried a 30-30 Winchester and bore an exact facial resem- blance to published pictures of Tracy.
