HUNT FOR TRACEY ABANDONED.

Washington Counties, After Spending SIO,OOO Give Up Chase. After forty days of continual pursuit by men and bloodhounds, all organized effort to capture Harry Tracy, the es-

caped Oregon convict, has ended. No further posses will start after him. The pursuit of Tracy through Clark, Cowlitz, Lewis, Thurston, Pierce, Kitsap, Snohomish, and King Counties, Washington, has cost these counties SIO,OOO. The fact that Oregon declines to pay Mrs.

Waggoner, of Chehalis, the reward for Merrill’s body has done much toward the flat drop of the Tracy hunt, it is said.
