The struck the scent at 10 o'clock this morning and have it with only a break of about half an hour, until this time. There be no doubt that Tracy is near his end, unless fome marvelous stroke of good luck awaits him. Although the outlaw has not been seen since last night, his pursuers have positive assurance that they are not far behind him. Sheriff Cudihee is with Carson and the dogs. Sheriff Zimmer- man at this time must be coming in from the north on the where Tracy is supposed to be. Zimmerman made a detour up the creek, in order to surround the convict. We just have learned that Deputy Sheriff Collins of _ Franklin is in hourly touch with Cudihee, and is approaching with about 20 men from the direction of Black Diamond. This puts a strong body of men at different points about the dense forest that now hides the outlaw. The rate Tracy is traveling, shows that he is very lit- tle fatigued. It is possible that some time during the night he gained the edge of Buckley Burn, where he rested in safety. It is believed that he could have entered Buckley Burn, and had he provisions, could have remained indefinitely without fear of detection. The place is an almost impenetrable jungle Where no force would be able to follow or apprehend a person wishing to hide. i KARL M. ANDERSON. TACOMA, July 11—Reports received here at 1 o'clock, direct from the sheriff's posse, are to the effect that Sheriff Cudihee believes Tracy will be compelled to turn Back to the Green River bridge, at the mouth of Sluice creek. This bridge is a very long trestle work over what is now an extremely swift stream. Sheriff Zimmerman was posted there this forenoon, in charge of a large posse. Sudihee believes that no matter in which direction Tracy May turn, he is so nearly surrounded by guards that he will be compelled to retrace his steps t° this bridge. In such an event his death or capture will be certain. But a short distance beyond where he is, there is a tract.of virgin forest, absolutely uninhabited, and seven or eight miles across. itis thought possible that Tracy will endeavor to make his way in to this, and beneath some sheltering tangle of brush seek the rest of which he now stands so much in need. If he traversed this forest entire, he would come out to- ward Buckley, where every road, by-path and trail has its alert watcher to head him off or give the warning cry. On what basis the officers rest their belief that the end will be reached today, it is hard for the layman to conceive. To the man who as a spectator merely, watches the pursuit, if pur+ COVINGTON, July 11—2:30 p. m.—It has just been re- | ported here that the deputies are engaged in a skirmish with | | suit it may be called, it would appear that nothing absolutely certain is known of Tracy’s whereabouts.

Outlaw Tracy is said to | be headed for Black Diamond or Franklin now, and the hounds [have been put on his trail at Covington, six miles west of here. Our posse will likely meet Cudihee, who is with the dogs a few miles west of here. A private wire from Covington says the hounds are not working well, as the ground is too dry. I spent last night at Palmer, arsiving there at 10:30. The guards I was with saw no one, although all freight trains were xine CURTIS..D.. STRATTON. “TRACY TALKS TO GIRL AUBURN, Wn., July 11.—Alice, the 16-year-old daughter of Geo. W. Collins of Auburn, saw and talked with Convict Tracy, one mile east of Green River bridge at 5:30 o'clock yes- terday afternoon. Tracy talked to the and her brother, Bailey, who was with her. i “How far is it to Palmer?” asked the outlaw. “Nineteen miles,” answered the outlaw. “That is too far; Covington is as far as I can make to- night,” said Tracy. Tracy was at once recognized by the girl. He worea black slouch hat, gray coat, ribbed pants (corduroy) and heavy shoes. Miss Collins said he carried two revolvers and a rifle, the latter being stuffed down his right pants leg. At this time there is a well-armed posse at a point beyond Covington, and one under Sheriff Zimmerman is within a short distance this side of Covington with the dogs. Tracy is on the north side of Green river, near Covington. Sheriff Cudi- hee is confident that this will be the last day of the Tracy man- hunt. AUBURN, July 11,—6:00 a. m.—Bloodhounds, with eight selected men, left here at 5 o'clock this morning for Covington, where shots are reported to have been fired at Tracy at day- break. Dick Galvina, a guard, saw the outlaw attempt to |board a train going east on the Covington road, before day- light. Sheriff Cudihee will be at a point a few miles beyond Cov- ington by 7 o'clock this morning. He says that he believes the | outlaw practically caught. 7:15 a m—I am just leaving by carriage for point this |side Covington, where the dogs will be put on trail. Some- |chase at Renton thing will surely happen by noon today. + KARL M. ANDERSON. BY KARL M. ANDERSON. AUBURN, qely 11,—That the abandonment of the Tracy Puesday night was a very unwise move, was conceded yesterday when the notorious outlaw was discovered to have held up the entire family of E. M.

Then his course was up the latter stream. Sheriff Cudihee, when the report reached him, immediately sewt posses out.

Cudihde, Jim Woolery and two deputy | sheriffs boarded the train at Kent and left it at Sumner, |when they drove to Puyallup. There they investigated a |rumor that was found to have no foundation.» | At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the startling report was brought to Auburn that Mike Dolan had seen Tracy at the rail- , lroad bridge on the Palmer cut-off over Green River, about four mi east of Auburn. Dolan had first seen the outlaw in the road near the river. When Tracy found that he was \being watched, he ducked into the brush until he thought Dolan was out of sight.

Heretofore Sheriff Cudihee has been greatly hampered by the fact that guards place by him had not been faithful to their trust. They have often failed to re main at their posts, and when morning came they have some times been missing. This time the sheriff put out only men jin whom he could place utmost confidence. Guard Carson, his bloodhounds and Dr, Calhoun and his bloodhound trailer, stay ed in Auburn during the night.

In the night concealed @uards are used instead, AN UNCONFIRMED REPORT An unconfirmed report coming from Auburn this morn- ing, states that Tom Coe, a member of a posse, was shot about daybreak by a man supposed to be Tracy. J. A. Bunce and Tom Coe were on the Covington road about four miles east of Auburn, lying in ambush, A man suddenly came out on the road from the brush. Bunce held him up and the man |said he was a members of the searching party. He passed on jand was intercepted by Coe, 200 yard further up the road. Coe asked him his business and received the reply that he was a deputy sheriff. In the early dawn the man was taken for Tracy, and Coe concluded to approach nearer in order to gain a good description of him. As Coe began to advance the sup- posed Tracy fired two shots, one taking effect, but with what results is not known.
