advanced toward any point than he was when he land landed ed edon on the shore at Meadow Point When hen Tracy gave save the bloodhounds the slip Monday night lie he was in the vicinity of ot Burrows boathouse about half halt a mile this side of Renton He followed the track jf The he Renton car carlines carlines carlines lines a short distance and arid then went up p the hill from the lake Today he was reported in different parts of the city elt According to reports received by the sheriffs office filce he ate breakfast at Leach Losch park Later L ter a woman lit liv living ing Ins near Madrona park telephoned to the office that he was in that vicinity In neither case was vas the report correct If Tracy Is heading again for Mead Mend Meadow ow Point or Bothel Bothell it would be in keeping with his previous record for him to walk through the streets of Seattle He may have followed the lake Jake shore on this side from Renton fenton to the northern suburbs where he would have a clean sweep for Bothell or Meadow Point The convict however if he went ent in inthis inthis inthis this direction may have hae taken the ea side of the lake To follow this path he had simply to take the old desert deserted ed line of ot the Northern Pacific belt line which is ballasted but Dut not easy for travel as far north as Mercer Merter slough There the bridge has been cut at the middle by unknown parties Often a plank s stretched across and if the board is there now Tracy would have had no obstruction in his course from one end of ot the I lre to the other If he desired he could leave leae the belt line where It is crossed by bi the York wagon road This road would place him on slough a considerable distance above Bothell the place around which he has lingered for so long The surrounding country on this course would be pc in the outlaws favor favorIt It is well timbered Armed Men Nen Patrol Seattle No matter which way Tracy turned he would have to avoid armed men was all day today and tonight by guards Men en were stationed at the gully on Madison street and the Madison street bridge Lesch and j I Madrona parks were closely watched anil ches to the north northern

Palmer Palmer mer cutoff Six Bothell men lay in ambush on the Snohomish road and several were placed on the bridges and I points beyond Bothell and Ravenna A significant feature of the branded mans travel seized upon by those who I believe he Is trying to reach friends here is the supposed su method of escape from Ren Renti night nightA A man mounted on a stolen horse supposed to be Tracy was seen at Tuesday night a little less than two miles out of Renton on the coun county co county un ty road He was proceeding in the direction of Seattle This report the tangible bit of work ing material furnished deputies in Renton today because of Its authentic source created considerable excitement in the district for the greater part of ot the day da The horse bearing the man supposed to be the convict was as seen by Miss Florence Williams sister of City Attorney Sidney Williams of Ren Rca Renton Renton ton and Albert Sprague Mr Sprague and Miss Williams were returning to Renton from a drive

for several minutes when I saw the outlines of a white horse The evening was growing very dark and I could not see very plainly Evidently the rider of tho the horse saw cur buggy at the same time we looked at him for he im un immediately immedIately mediately turned the horse hors off the road into the brush and hedge along the roadside I thought this act very suspicious For that reason I watched with closer Interest In the shadow of ofa ofa ofa a large fence and half concealed by the brush I saw the man disappear over the side of the animal opposite us We were close upon him then Stolen Horse
