It is probable that he will attack McMullen and his escorts, as he is without means Takes Supper at the Gardner Ranch, 8 Miles South of Bent- ley GOLDHILL TRAIL, Wash., July 15.—(By Way of Buckley)—2:00 p. m-—Harry Tracy, escaped convict, murder- er and outlaw, has at last been located, and is being hard press- ed by man-hunters. He ison the Goldhill Trail, making for the Natches pass. He is at a point about nine miles below Buckley, Pierce county, on the old state road. At sundown last night he appeared at the Gardner ranch, ix miles below Buckley, and secured supper. He left within minutes, and at dusk was seen vy a pack train driver at of knowing how many are in pursuit. ‘When he left the Clark cabin this morning he was travel- ing very light, carrying only his Winchester and revolver, but no provisions, Clark said that the desperado appeared very fresh and showed no signs of lameness whatever. He was goodvnatur- ed, and during breakfast was inclined to joke rather than take his position seriously. AUBURN, July 15.—A rumor has been in circulation in this neighborhood this morning that Outlaw Harry Tracy has crossed the line into Pierce county. It is thought that he slip- ped past Enumclaw last night, beyond the O'Neill ranch, and on towards the main line of the Northern Pacific. The theory that Tracy is trying to get back to Seattle is not believed by some officers. He is thought to be attempting to cross the Cascade range and may be trying to get over on the Goldhill trail. He may also be trying to reach the Carbon river trail. AUBURN, Wash., Jaly 15. PRO details regarding Trity’s short“Vistt to O'Neill's phace are soon told. It was at dusk when Mr. and Mrs. O'Neill returned from a drive, and the husband, after putting the horses away, went As he passed around the commer of the barn he was surprised to see @ strange man run ‘inved up the Goldhill trail. Deputy Sheriff McMullin of Pierce county, Nesbitt, a reporter of the Tacoma News, and Stratton of the Seattle Daily Star, are at this time the only ones in pursuit. The chase at this time is a still hunt, although Sheriff Hart- " man of Pierce county has been notified at Enumclaw and Sher- iff Cudihee at Ravendale. . The outlaw is traveling very fast and it is believed that he had a good night’s rest after leaving the Gardener ranch. His present pursuers are on horseback and unless he takes to the ‘woods, he must soon be overtaken. It is thought likely that Tracy will try to cross the Cas- tades by the Natches pass, having found it impossible to make Stampede, owing to that part of the country being so well toarded. i sae st Wty eee torso we to the dense | HAND AND FOOT OF CONVICT MERRILL’S BODY PROJECTED ABOVE TWO FALLEN TREES Robests wae terribly frightened, and ran to the reform schol and confided his secret to Superintendent West- ‘Grusome Discovery Made by at of that institution.

As far as can be ascertained from parts of the body exposed, Merrill was killed by bullets from a 30- go Winchester. There is a wound on the wrist made by a bullet, and near the place where the body is partly secreted, waa found three empty 30-30 Winchester shells. It is probable that three shots were needed to dispatch Merrill. And after Tracy had thrown his body between the logs, the callous desperado leisurely took the empty shells and threw them on the ground. rr NEW PILOT BOAT FOR THE COLUMBIA RIVER , Schooner Bayard Will Opera te on Washington Side—Newsy Notes of the Waterfront —Ships That Come and Go The schooner Thomas F.
