Special to The Light-
Waco Tex. Oct. 1«.—An interesting
and novel suit was settled in the Nine-
teenth district court Thursday. Her-
bert Thompson a boy about 10 years
old. was plaintiff by next friend. Her-
bert was placing on the tracks of the
Ssnta Fe railrosd at McGregor about
two yeara ago when he found a rail-
road torpedo the kind used in giving
signals. The tin attachment interested
him snd he broke it open with a rock
an explosion following which put out
his eye. Plaintiff claimed that the
road was negligent in allowing tor-
pedoes to be left where children often
passed and that torpedoes were dan-
gerous and yet specially attractive to
children. Attorneys for defense set up
the cleim that the road was not liable
and asked Judge Surratt to give a per-
emptory charge ruling the case out of
court. The judge took the matter
under advisement and decided for the
rallropd ruling plaintiffs out of court
holding that the boy was a trespasser
on the tracks of the company and the
road waa therfore not

SOWING OF WHEAT
IN CENTRAL TEXAS.
Special to The LlghL
Waco Tex. Oct. 14- —The dry
weather for several weeks hss had the
effect of delaying the sowing of wheat
and this delay usually results In cut-
ting off the crop to a certain extent
unless everything comes especially
favorably after the grain is sown. In
the region about McGregor where con-
siderable wheat is regularly planted
the farmers are sowing in the dust
hoping to have the grain ready when
rain does come. Others are waiting.
The ground has been prepared in most
instances but the delay In sowing is
on account of the dry weather.

OCTOBER 14 1905
THE AUTOMOBILE RACE
FOR VANDERBILT CUP
EXTRA PRECAUTIONS HAVE BEEN
TAKEN TO PREVENT 8E-
RIOUS ACCIDENTS.
Start Was Made Early Thia Morning
Over the Nateau Circuit on Long
Island Covering Twenty.nine Mi lea
of Road Which Hag Been Thor-
oughly Oiled to Prevent the Stirring
Up of Du*.
Special to The Light
New York Oct. 14.—The aecond in-
ternational automobile race for the
William K. Vanderbilt Jr cup ig run
today over the lamotig Nassau circuit
on Long Island. For many weeks
everything has been prepared for the
great event and when the first car
started over the circuit this morning
every expert in automobile racing ad-
mitted that the arrangements were
as nearly perfect as they could be
made under existing conditions and
that everything had been done to elim-
inate as much as possible the danger
of serious accidents. The twenty-nine
miles of road over which the racers
were to sre*d had been put in the
best condition and thoroughly oiled to
prevent the stirring up of dust in it-
self one of the greatest dangers In a
race.
Notwithstanding the early hour at
which the start waa made many thou-
sands of people of all classes were
distributed along the course. The
grand stand which occupied a site on
the rise of the hill on the Jericho Turn-
pike East. Williston was filled with
about fifteen hundred racing enthu-
siasts including W. K. Vanderbilt Jr
the donor of the cup Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt Alexander C. Young Clar-
ence Gray Dinsmore W. J. P. Moore
Mrs. Clarence Mackr.y James L.
Breess Arthur G. Hoffman. Charles
J. Glidden. O. H. P. Belmont W. Gould
Brokow Harry Payne Whitney How-
ard Gould Adrian Iselin and many
other prominent society and sporting
men.
To Prevent Accidents.
Five hundred men were scattered
along the route and kept a sharp
wateh to prevent accidents permitting
nobody to trespass upon the road.
Special men were stationed st the tel-
ephones which had been stationed at
short intervals along the road. An ar-
rangement had been made with the
Long Island railroad to keep trains
from blocking the crossing at Albert-
son and flagmen ewre posted at the
crossing to prevent accidents from
collision. For half a mile on each side
of the finish line no one except those
on the official reviewing stand were
allowed on or near the track.
It was shortly before half past six
this morning when the powerful racers
made ready for the big rage. The or-
der of the starting had previously
been decided by lot and there was no
difficulty or confusion as each ma-
chine bore its respective number and
was held in readiness to line up for
the start when its turn came. The
start was made from the grand stand
north of Mineola. At the crack of the
starter’s pistol at 6:30 a. m. the 120
horsepower Mercedes car entered by
Robert Graves of the German team
and driven by Jenatzky leaped over
the starting line and was soon loet to
sight The spectators on the grand
stand cheered enthusiastically when
the first machine started on its course
and every one of the machines came
in for its share of cheering but the
American cars received more than
their share.
The Line-up.
Duray on a 130 horsepower De Diet-
rich entered by the French maker
was the second to cross the line and
he in turn was followed by Dingley
on a sixty horsepower Popc-Tolpdo
entered by A. L. Pope. Then followed
Lancia the great racer on a Italian
fiat c* of 110 horsepoewr entered by
Hollander & Tangemann. Everything
went like clockwork and there was
not the slightest hitch in the starting.
One after the other the puffing and
snorting machines were released by
the starter's pistol and sped away like
miniature tornadoes. They followed
each other in the following order; Af-
ter Lancia came Warden in a 120
horsepower Mercedea entered for Ger-
many by John B. Warden; then Wag-
ner in an 80 horsepower Darraco en-
tered by Darraco A Co.; Traceys In a
120 horsepower Locomobile entered
by Dr. H. E. Thomas; Nazzaro in a
110 horsepower fiat entered by Hol-
'.ander & Tangemann; Campbell in
a 90 horsepower Mercedes entered by
S. B. Stevens; Szis in a 90 horse-
power Renault entered by Renault
Freres; Christie in a 60 horsepower
Christie entered by James L. Breese;
Cedrtno In a 110 horsepower fiat en-
tered by Hollander & Tangemann;
Keene in a 120 horsepower Mercedes
entered by himself; Heath in a 120
horsepower Panhard. entered by the
manufacturers Panhard & Levassor;
Lytle in a 90 horsepower Pope-Toledo
entered by A. L. Pope; Chevrolet in
a 90 horsepower fiat entered by Hol-
lander & Tangemann; Werner In a
120 horsepower Mercedes entered by
C. C. Dinsmore; Hamery In an 80
horsepower Darracq entered by the
manufacturers; White in a White
steam car entered by himself and Sar-
tori in a 90 horsepower flat entered
by A. C. Vanderbilt.
Long before the last car started
some of the firs’ cars had rounded the
circuit and passed in front of the
grand stand on their second circuit.
They were loudly cheered when thev
hashed by. Excellent speed was made
and it ig expected that some records
will be broken. The Italian and
French cars seem to be the favorites
and it is believed that the race Is be-
tween them. It will be some time
In the afternoon before the race will
be finished.

SANTA FE TO BUILD
WEST FROM STAMFORD.
Special to The Light.
Waco Tex. Oct. 14.—A resident of
one of the Texas Central towns who
is in Waco is authority for the state-
ment that the Santa Fe railway and
not the Texas Central will build west
from Stamford. He claims to have re-
ceived a clear intimation from an of-
ficial of the Santa Fe that that rail-
way had bought or would at once buy
the Texas Central from Waco to Stam-
ford. and would build west to a con-
nection with the Santa Fe instead of
building from Brownwood as has been
contemplated. The gentleman in ques-
tion claims to know what he is talk-
ing about and says surveyors are lo-
cating the line out from Stamford for
the Santa Fe and not the Texas Cen-
tral. General Manager Charles Hamil-
