NO, 117; SECOND EXTRA---2,09" d° Sana | OUTLAW TRACY COMMITS MOST _ STARTLING DEED _—_—_— KENT, July r0.—~ p.m.—Sheriff Cudihee hi thor- oughly investigated the three stories relative to Tracy’s pres- ence in this vicinity, and has found the ones reported to come from McCullough and Anderson to be incorrect. It is believed | by King county's sheriff that they grew out of the startling es- of Convict. Tracy yesterday at John Johnson's house, three miles from this place. The frightful experience of Andrew Johnsonand his family, however, is true in every sense of the ree, and is probably one of the most astounding ever credited to Tracy. At 5 o'clock yesterday morning Tracy was seen near John- son's barn. He was watched by Mrs. Johnson until about 6 o'clock, when he came to the house and said that he was Harry Tracy whom everybody sought to kill John Johnson, the to the door when Tracy told him he wanted to eat. He was given a big breakfast, and after eat- » ing Mrs. Johnson and her six children to a hillside two or three hundreds yards from the house. He then returned to the house where he had left Johnson, and told-him that he should go into Tacoma and buy two re- volvers and two boxes of cartridges. Johnson replied that he had not a cent of i use. The outlaw said it made no difference, that he would have to “dig it up” and get them. He further said that if Johnson told a living person Vhe sheriff's office was immediately notified and a strong posse, with the bloodhounds, hurried to the scene. Other peo- {ple besides Mrs. Hillman, claimed that the outlaw had enter+ ed and left the place, and the dogs were immediately put upon what was believed to be the outlaw’s trail. It led down to Green Lake, across it, and away, and then back again; but finally disappeared Today it developed that a lineman named Jack Perry, em- loyed by the Sunset Telephone Co., was the supposed Tracy. ie states that he entered the Hillman house, after knocking at the door, and went to the telephone to make an inquiry con- cerning the whereabouts of his cow, which had strayed from ohme. He was ¢arrying a shotgun. Finding the telephone re- ceiver down on the table, he called Mrs. Hillman’s attention to the fact that she could not expect service when the line was thus disconnected, and left the premises without calling up on the phone, The lady in question was excited, believing that he was the outlaw Tracy. Hence the false alarm. FIRST REPORTS. The most startling information Outlaw Tracy since his escape from Gerrelis’*house y afternoon, is reported from Kent. Early this ae Attorney Hart of Auburn sent Sheriff Cudihee a message which contained some startling news. The details were not given out at the sheriff's office, but the Star reporter who followed Sheriff Cudihee on his journey |down to Kent, reports the following : “Thomas McCullough, who resides one mile east of Christopher, came into Kent this morning with the astound- ing news that Tracy had held up his fa: at 7:30 o'clock last night, and after securing a small sum of money and a quantity of provisions, had taken the Auburn road. “Afew minutesafter McCullough had made his report, John Anderson who lives three miles east of Kent, reported to Marsha] Miller of Kent that Outlaw Tracy appeared at his house at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and after announcing himself as the notorious desperado, demanded a dinner. He Iso asked for money, but Anderson omitted to tell Marshal Miller whether he had given the outlaw any. “He said that Tracy had taken with him a white horse which he stole from the barn. “McCullough, ip reporting his story, said that Tracy had told him that he had taken an old plug from a barn up the road, but had discarded it as useless.” Sheriff Cudihee is now at Kent and has investigated the Mc- Gullough and Anderson stories, and believes that he is on the track of the murderous outlaw. Both ap ecicoie | and Anderson describe Tracy accurately even to the details of his clothi: The sheriff will go on a still hunt down the road leading to Palmer, where it is known. Tracy married and has many relatives living in that section. On top of the startling reports from Kent, comes informa- tion just received at the. sheriff's office here in Seattle, brought by Andrew Johnson, who lives about five miles from Kent. appeared this morning, Johnson, with started for this place. arrived in a terrified inson went immediately to Marshal Mil- his marvelous story.

Johnson irls are so frightened that they refuse ever to wrought up to a high pitch of excitement, and who would start out on a scouting party were is deemed best to leave the man-hunt entirely in the hands of Sheriff Ed Cudihee, who is on the scene. HE Is THE MAN" At the sheriff's office about 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, a ¢ : telegram was received from Sheriff Cudihee, now at Kerit, that He says that yesterday morning Tracy appeared at his the man he was in pursuit of could be none other than Tracy. house and announced himself asthe desperado, He assembled Johnson, his wife and six children in the hous until about 4 o’clock in the afternoon. He seemed to be perfectly free from fear. Johnson says that about 11 o'clock in the morning Tracy gave him money and ordered him to proceed at once to Tacoma and buy a six-shooter, Tracy was particular to have a Colts. Johnson say# that Tracy held his gun leveled at him and told him if he did not return with the revolver and instead brought a posse, he would shoot Johnson's wife and six chil- dren, and make his escape. Johnson says he believes a would have done it. fj He obeyed Tracy and performed the commission.
