Matthews slid easily into office on a popular platform. It was: “If elected, I will not squander the taxpayers’ money trying to catch John , You won't get much Tornow news at the sheriff's office. It is the same It pains the business men to talk about the outlaw. The man-hunt has cost the county a lot of money. County Commissioner “Bud” Wilson is administrator of the Tornow estate. other day, the family having scattered, Wilson sold the ranch in the upper “We a fine ranch,” Wilson told me, “but I had a h— of a time getting any at all. Folks are afraid to live up there. It’s foolish, of course, for Tornow I talked with a young man who is regarded by his friends as brave to the | | point of foolhardiness. Three summers running he has made long journeys up the Satsop and Wynooche valleys, exploring their tributaries, hunting and fishing. These two valleys run about parallel, and are the beast-man’s stamping ground. He found the woods and streams teeming with life, untroubled by rod and |gun. Even the trappers give the valleys a wide berth, and the prospectors shun the foothills where the rivers have their source. “There was no danger,” said this foolhardy man. “Tornow is dead.” If you ask them in Montesano why they think Tornow is dead, they will answes with specious argument. They make a strong case. They might convince you that Tornow is really dead. Let us make it as_strong as possible, that we may have the pleasure of tearing it down later on. ¥ In the first place, it is easy to believe that even a weather-proof man like Tornow might succumb to an Olympic winter. It was cold in the mountains last January, and the snow was deep. It was a wet, raw cold. Tornow, sleeping in the snow, might have taken sick—and died Accidents happen in the woods. Tornow may have sprained an ankle. Unable to continue on to the nearest cache, he may have become weak from hunger. A hun- &ry cougar would dare to attack a starving man. Or perhaps he blundered into a she-bear with These We cc The first t cubs, are possibilities ne now to recent history—and facts. Tornow was located twice last winter. was early in December, when, a cow failing to return to her shed on the Schaletzeke ranch, in the upper Satsop valley, Ed Schaletzeke and his two sons fared forth in a snowstorm to find her They even dar the swollen and icy river. And they found the cow—dead, a bullet from an automatic pistol in her brain It was Walter Schaletzeke who found the carcass. And near it he found Tornow’s x of a great, burnt-out cedar. The shot which killed the cow was fired cut in the tree. On the opposite side from the loophole Schaletzeke 1 ow. In the entrance stood Tornow's rifle. But Tornow was not there. Schaletzeke called his father and brother The boys were for taking Tornow’s rifle, and trying to capture the outlaw, and earning the $5,000 reward. But the ian said: “No; he has another rifle. He is watching us now, Better telephc the sheriff The posse next day were guided by the Schaletzekes to the hollow cedar. The rifle was gone. Tt found a quant of provisions. They found, on the slope of the western ridge, Tornow's tracks. They measured the footprints. He was trav- eling at a five-foot stride That, r mber, was early in December. On New Year’s day four hunters found an abandoned shack far up the v y. almost to the forest reserve, and close to the Mason county line. As they approached the shack their hound bayed. The hunters fled incontinently. n the posse scurried north. They found the shack—empty. But there were plenty which cried the story of Tornow’s dire extremity. First, a fish spear, crude ned. The heads of dog salmon littered the rotted floor Didn argue that T ammunition was gone if he had taken to spearing fish? And why content with the despised dog salmon when the streams were a-swarm with ut? The posse followed Tornow’'s tracks many miles in the snow, until fresh snow fell, obliterating the prints. And these ts showed that so worn that the big toe protruded Hungry, sick, bare-footed, his a nition gone, fleeing before ants of organized society, Tornow died miserably and alone That is Montesano’s case, and it is strong. But the prints in the snow told of one fact which accounts for Montesano’s secret disquiet trail led the posse to two logs exactly 10 feet apart THE SICK AND STARVING BE T-MAN, STANDING ON THE FIRST LOG, LEAPT LIGHTLY TO THE ECOND—A STANDING JUMP! THE PRINTS PROVED IT. THE LIGHT, FEATHERY SNOW BETWEEN THE LOGS WAS UNTOUCHED!

A_ hunc times, at least, we have gone up into the Satsop and Wynoo- che country on Tornow clews, some false, some true. Trappers and ranchers meet him or run across his fresh tracks, or, as in the case of the four hunters whose hound bayed the shack, got him in circumstances which would have made his capture cer- tain if a posse had been there “But Tornow is alwa just gone when we arrive. Why? Who tips him off that the posse is starting? We know the man, as queer and crotchety as Tornow himself.” Here is another curious circumstance, There are roads which, leading northward from Montesano and Elma, wind through the Wynooche and atsop valleys, to dwin- dle to trai and to lose themselves imperceptibly in the tangled forest. I have been up and down these roads, and I have talked with the ranchers. They complain that newspapers left in the rural free delivery boxes ve been stolen, I took the dates on which these papers were stolen, and, by referring to the files in the two newspaper Montesano, I made this discovery: Every stolen paper contained the news that a posse was starting on another Bunt for the beagt-man, or that some trapper or rancher had sent the sheriff word of his whereabouts. It is pleasant in the foothills now. coming down from the mountains Tornow, too, has survived the winter, though it nearly “got” him. He is very much alive. Probably he has plenty of ammunition cached. He stripped the bodies of six men of arms and ammunition, and he is sparing of cartridges. He has a new pair of shoes, thanks, probably, to the “friend on the outside.” { How do I know?
