TRACY IS NOT A SEBRASKAS Tiki Kan from This But Hu Bmi in Linooln During Oregonian's Retirement EXCISE BOARD TO HELP OUT VISITORS Froaosee . to Allow Llacola Baleens t Keep Opea Late Wkra Coa. v . Veatlons Meet la t1 -t'fc i Capital Cllr. f.'IT (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. Julr 14. 8peclal.) Th Im pression has become general during the last few day that Harry Tracy, the Ore gon outlaw and escaped criminal, la the Tracy who served four terms in the Ne braska penttentlarr snd has a state-wide reputation for lawlessness. The Oregon Oregon desperado Is described aa a half breed Mexican. The Nebraska, Tracy Is known aa a half-breed Indian.' In color nd height the descriptions of the two men agree perfectly. The records at the penitentiary, how ever, disclose Information which disproves the supposed Identification. Harry Tracy, the murderer, was arrested In Oregon in 1899, and so far as can be learned here was In custody until he broke out of the peni tentiary at Salem a short time ago. The Tracy known here waa at liberty during the year 1899, but served time subse quently In the Nebraska penitentiary. Thla fact makes It certain that the Nebrsska convict is not the man who has been mur dering, stealing and Invading homes and property In Oregon and Washington. C. E. Kent of this city aaw Tracy make his wild race In a steam launch through Puget Bound. Mr. Kent was Ashing from a small boat near the shore when the team craft came along at a terrific speed. "The boat was having a race without competition," said he, "and was evidently going at topmost speed. I could see five men on the deck, one of them standing in the bow and pointing a revolver at the others. The boat panned not twenty yards from us. After we got back to Seattle we were told that Track had escaped through the sound. He held up the crew In South bay and forced It to take him to Seattle. He waa not pursued through the sound, but waa determined to make the best time possible." Accommodation, ta Conventions. The excise board of this city, which has Jurisdiction over the sale of Intoxicating liquors. Is considering a proposition which, If adopted, will make It possible for sa loons to keep open after the usual closing time whenever there are conventions or large gatherings of people In the city. The matter was discussed Informally this morn ing and tomorrow will likely come up for conelderatlon In a formal way. The proposition Is submitted by Excise man Woods, who would have the rules of the board amended to provide that no sa loon shall be open between 11:30 p. m. and t-.SO a. m.. "unless special permission be given by the board." The Introduction of this amendment Is prompted by a complaint recently filed against the Ltndell hotel, In which It waa alleged, aa grounds for the revocation of the hotel's license, that the saloon In the establishment was kept open after the le gal closing time on the night of a conven tion. It transpired tn the meeting this morning that two members Of the board personally Informed the proprietors of the hotel that they might keep their place open a little later than uaual on that night. This action was entirely informal on the part of the members of the board and la contended by lawyers for the complainant to. be noxesfor the proprietors' viola tion of the board's rule. The excise board also has under consid eration the Question of whether or not the municipal corporation is or can be held liable for damages to property by reason of the creation or existence or tne reser vatlon" in the western end of the town Complaints have been made by property wn.r. .nil the city attorney baa been asked for an opinion.

Although I started in with little faith, 1 felt so much better In a week that I felt encour aged. "I took tt faithfully for seven weeks and ant happy indeed to be able to say that I am entirely cured. Words tail to express my gratitude.
