Penn drew the west position. and
Cornell the east, leaving the middle

away to an even start. Cornell was tbs
first to Jump into the lead. and held it
for about 200 yards. She was followed
by Columbia and Pennsylvania.
Columbia soon overhauled the Itha-

ter-mile mark had a clear lead over

az she pleased. Tom B. was second in
the first and second heats. but in the
final heat Harry ]. beat him out.
Six Heats to Decide.
The 40 trot furnished an interest
Ing contest and required six heats to
decide. Zulu NJ. won the first two rather
comfortably, although Anna C. would
nave given Zulu an argument had she
remained on her feet. In the third heat
Anna c. got down to business. and al
though she broke twice she had much
more speed than the other starters and

VERDICT FOR DEFENDANT
Railroaw Awarded Verdict in
Wilson Case.

The jury in the case of j. b. VIII
son against the NJ. K. Il T. Ry. Co.
Of Texas for damages yesterday re-
turned a verdict in favor of the de-
fendant. This suit was brought on
rather peculiar grounds. Several
months ago there was a freight
wreck in the Katy yards near the
freight depot. A car loaded with
salt was totally demolished and the
salt was left in heap on the ground.
A portion of 1t was gathered up by
the trainmen and the balance sold
to MIR. Wilson. While he was In
the act of removing it the section
boss came along and ordered him TO
desist. An alteration occurred and
Mr.. Wilson was struck with "a shov-
Ell or some other heavy instrument.
Several of his teeth were knocked
out and his jaw bone was broken.
Suit was forthwith brought against
the company by Nj. Wilson for
Sl0,000. A motion for new trial
will doubtless be filed.
The court is still engaged In hear
Ing the damage suit of @. w. Hol-
leman against the Western Union
Telegraph company.
The next case to be called Is the
suit of M. j. Moore ct al against
the Texas Midland railway. A large
crowd of witnesses in the case came
in this morning from Ennis, Ter
reli and Paris. Hon. Charles w,
Ogden, of San Antonio, is here to
represent the road.
The criminal docket of the court
will be taken up Monday week.

saade them to do their simple duty
1t IL hardly right for the property
holder who puts up nothing for the
road to share with those who raise

If we lose it will be almost a death
blow to Waxahachie. INNOCENCE.
