9, after killing three prison guards,
killed himself early Wednesday morn

a' party, in pursuit;
Tracey .was surrorinded in a wheat
field near Fellows, a station , on th a
Washington Central Railroad, about
5 miles west of ; Spokane Tuesday
night. Word was sent back to Daven
port, the county seat, and a large
number of armed men hurried to the
scene. The posse I under Sheriff Gard
ner opened fire on the outlaw and one
bullet pierced his right leg between
the knee and thigh. About twenty
minutes after being wounded he" shot
himself with one of his revolvers and
his body was found after daybreak.
The revolver with which he killed
himself was. grasped tightly in his

Oregon convict for ovtsr 24 hours at
the ranch of L. B. Eddy, on Lalle
creek, about three miles south from
Fellows, a station on the Washing
ton Central Railroad. The men made
all possible haste' In getting to the
ranch. When within a few hundred
yards of the farm they encountered
Farmer Eddy mowing in one of his
fields. While engaging him in conver
sation, they saw a man coming from
the barn. ; . '
'Is that Tracey?" asked one of the
rarty. !
It surely is," neplied Eddy.
The party separated later, Smith

swung around to the other side. Two
. .
of them stopped' behind the barn on
a slight eminence from-which they
could watch everything that went oj
and Eddy continued on up to the
door. Tracey came from the barn
again and began helping his host un
. hitch the horses. He carried no rifle,
though he had his revolvers in place.
The fugitive finally saw the , men
carry rifles and turned sharply to
Eddy and said:
"Who are these men?"
'I dont' see any men," said Eddy.
Tracey pointed out the two men on
the hill, Eddy' j informed his, compan-
ion who the men were and the outlaw
mads a leap for the barn door. The
pursuers" stepped a bit closer, com
manding, "Hold up your hands."
The outlaw jumped . behind Eddy
and first placed the farmer, then his
horse, between Himself and the pur
suers. He commanded the farmer to
lead his horse to the barn an.d re
main under cover, moving toward
shelter. He .quickly re-appeared; rifle
in hand, and started on a dead run.
Turning on the two men nearest
him, the desperado fired, two shots
but without his usual luck, f neither
bullet taking effect. Without ; waiting
for further' fighting Tracey made a
dash down the valley leading' south
' from ,he barn - and headed for " the
' brush.- ; "'.yikyyi''K:'
In. an instant the man-hunters were
off in pursuit; firing as they ran. Com
g to a rock, Tracey dived behind it
and resting his gun on the rock, be
gan a fusilade Many shots were fired
by the outlaw, but not on9 hitting Its
mark. Seeing f he vr&s not succeeding,
he bolted for a wheat field close; by.
At the edge of the field he stumbled,
tailing on his face, and crawled mio
the grain on his hands and knees.
It - was growing dark and the pur
suers not daring to move in closer,
decided to surround the place and wait
! for daylight. In the meantime Sheriff
Gardner, with Policeman Stauffer and
j Gemmerim. of Spokane: Jake O'Far-
rGll, of Davenport, and other re-en-
rived m time to firuard the wheat field
through th nieht. but the work had to the negro question, which have been ing appreciation of such military dis- thankfulness and rejoicing as ev6u ny s purposes are to nnisn, dye jma

and they went into camp around the
field during the. night.
Shortly after .Tracey disappeared a
shot was heard from the direction of
the wheat field. No investigation was
made, however, until morning. As
soon as dawn came an entrance was
made into the wheat field. The out
law's body was found lying, amid the
grain with his face turned toward the
sky, his left hand, thrown over Ills
head, held a revolver which had in
flicted the death wound. His finger
was on the. trigger. His right hand
thrown across the lower part' of his
body jflrmly grasped the barrel of . his
famous ' rifle. Death was inflicted by
a revolver held close to the forehead.
The top of 'his head , was shattered.
Two bullet wounds on the left leg
showed the cause of the man's des
pondency. One shot had broken the
leg between the ankle and knee. It is
believed that belli these wounds were
received atter the convict left . the
barn and made his break for the wheat

struggle. He was dressed in blue over
