MORBID PEOPLE CARRY AWAY TRACY'S OUTFIT

Take Everything Visible Except His Body.

Head of Dead Outlaw Almost Shaved by Hunters of Gruesome Souvenirs.

DAVENPORT, Wash., Aug. 7.--Nothing is left of Harry Tracy's outfit but his body and that is closely guarded to keep the relic hunters from taking it away.

When the corpse of this famous bandit was brought to the local morgue yesterday the crowd became so demonstrative that the doors of the building were ordered closed.

Later a number of sightseers were permitted to file in. Everyone wanted a relic and most of them got it. Some one even picked up the bloodstained handkerchief which had been used by Tracy to keep from bleeding to death.

Before he could carry the gruesome relic away he had to do it in paper as it was too wet to place it in his pocket.

Another man got the strap which had been pulled around his leg to keep Tracy from bleeding to death. That too, was soaked with blood which ran from the upper wound.

Many locks of his hair were carried away, and in some places his head had been made bald. His trousers were cut into strips, and before they were divided, they were cut into smaller pieces.

Many of Tracy's cartridges were divided among the members of the posse.

TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 7.--The reward for the capture of Harry Tracy amounts to $4,100 as follows: Oregon, $1,500; Washington, $2,500; J. D. Ferrell, brother of one of the murdered guards, $100. Governors McBride, of Washington, and Geer, of Oregon, say they will promptly pay the rewards, as soon as it is established who are entitled to them. Claims for rewards are already being filed.

Tracy's body will probably be embalmed and shipped to Salem for identification.
