The story of the alleged peculations of Duke and Robertson, as revealed by the investigations of Special Detective J. N.

During this time, Mr. Thacker says, no less than $90,000 was taken from the funds of the bank and the evidences so carefully concealed that no one was suspected until a few weeks ago. Both of the men are well known and very popular in the capital city. Mr. Robertson is a member of the city council and is serving his third time in that body. On Saturday night, June 28, Robertson disappeared from his usual haunts, and bis frieDds feared he had suicided. A search was made for him, blood honnds being placed on his track, hut he was not discovered until Sunday, when be confessed he was short in his accounts aud that he had contemplated suicide, but finally decided to face trial.

Although His Capture I Only a Question of Time Hundreds Join In the Chase. Thursday was a red letter day in the erratic carreer of Convict Tracy. He killed Policeman E. E. Breez and wounded fatally Neil Rawley in the city limits of Seattle, after having murdered Deputy Sheriff Charles Raymond of Snohomish county, and probably fatally wounded Deputy Sheriff John Williams of King county, early in the day. In his hopeless flight for safety Tracy covered probably sixty miles during the day. He was first encountered by a Seattle pobse near Bothell at 3:30 oclock in the afternoon. Evidently the convict caught sight of his pursuers before they did him. He had taken a commanding position in a clump of high firs, and opened fire before he was discovered. lie fired five shots in all. Raymond was instantly killed by one of the Winchester rifle balls. Another struck the raised rifle held by Williams, splitting it in four parts, and entering the deputy sheriffs breast. He will live, it is believed. Governor McBride of Washington, who is in Seattle with Adjutant General Drain of the state national guard is taking the keenest interest in the chase. He has announced a reward of $2,500. This, with others offered by relatives of victims of Tracys rifle, brings the total rewards offered to The governor, further than $5,600. offering the reward, has ordered General Drain to send two companies of the state militia to aid the posses, the members of which are scouring all the northern suburban territory of Seattle. On roads ambushed and patrolled by guards armed with new W inchester rifles, convict Tracy has escaped. His whereabouts in a district of twenty miles radius is absolutely unknown. Sheriff Cudihees office has been deluged with reports of his appearances. Each was traced down to its source by posses. All were groundless. Neil Rawley, shot by Tracy when the convict killed Polieceman Breez at Fremont, is dead. Deputy Sheriff Williams is not yet dead and has a good chance to live. To this time, Tracy has killed three men since bis first appearance near Seattle Tuesday morning. All three were well known and popular. This has incited hundreds to join the huD-ter- s. One hardware store, named to supply arms for the posses, has given out its complete stock in this line. Specials are leaving on the railway leading into the adjacent country every few hours with reinforcements. Parties are dropped off all along the route between Seattle and Bothell. The theory entertained by the sheriffs office at Seattle is that Tracy is hoping to make his way , to the north. Tracy, morever, it is believed, is convinced that with his record of killing, he will have the country pretty well all to himself on his way to the north. A special from Bothwell, Wash., says: Sheriff Cndihee is here with thirty men lying in waitnefor Tracy, declares the escaped murderer, that no one really knows where the convict is, but states that it is highly probable he doubled on his tracks and came to Bothell.
