WALTHOUR COMES
 FOR HIS BIG RAGE
WILL BE PACED BY BIG MOTOR, BEHIND WHICH HE RIDES ON AN ORDINARY WHEEL-LAWSON TO RIDE THE MOTOR.

Bobby Walthour, the famous cyclist, arrives this morning from Atlanta, and this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock will race against ten running horses on the track at the fair grounds for a purse of SlOOO.
 Bobby's big motor, the fastest in the world, has been on exhibition in LoVer man, Joseph & Loebs show window for the past two days and has attracted thousands who have wondered at the machine and the manner in which 1t was operated. The only way they can really find out how it is operated is to see 1t pace Walthour this afternoon.
 Gussle Lawson, known internationally as the "Terrible Swede' arrives with Walthour this morning, and will ride the motor, Many think Walthour rides the motor, but he follows after it on an or dinary racing bicycle, The sight will be one well worth witnessing, and should draw the largest crowd of the fair.
 The motor is capable of producing six teen horse power, and has gone the mile in less than minute. This was on reg ular bicycle race track constructed and banked so as to allow fast speed The best the motor can do on an ordinary dirt track like the one at the fair grounds is about ;50 a mile, or a little less than an average running horse makes a mile With this the horses have the advantage of the rider, but he hopes to be able to make 1t a tight race at that Should any mshap occur to the horses then Walthour has a good chance to win He expects to beat the horses by some means, but says it will take the hardest kind of riding.
 An exhibition mile will be made on the motor after the race with the runners.

"Human Hearts"

The distinctively American play depends to great extent on its portrayal of character and scenes which are of local nature, Thus Human Hearts," with the peaceful lives of those who live in the picturesque Arkansas hills. Admitting, as 1t does, of scenic effects, this advantage it Is said, Manager W. E, Vaudeville has seized to supply to his patrons something out of the ordinary in the way of stage illusion. It is also stated that he has secured the services of a good company for the portrayal of the characters in Human Hearts"-those peculiarly adapt ed to impersonate the type of people liv- ing in the state of Arkansas.
 Human Hearts will be at the Jeffer- son theater tomorrow and Saturday nights, with a bargain day matinee Sat urday.

HELD TO CRIMINAL COURT.
E. G. Roche Is Charged With Grand
 Larceny.

D. c. Roche, formerly shipping clerk in the Frisco freight depot was yesterday held to the criminal court on a charge of grand larceny. He made a bond to the amount of $150 and was released from jail.
 Roche was arrested last week by De- tectiyes Bodeker and Hamilton on a charge of stealing barrel of whisky from the freight house and having 1t sent to a prominent saloon man here to whom he attempted to sell 1t. The saloon man refused to buy the whisky and it was left in his place until the next morning, when Roche discovered that the police were on hls trail, and had the whisky carried back to the freight house.
 His claim was that he carried the whis- ky back and that this mitigated the crime, but Judge Feagin held that he was guilty of grand larceny when he took the whisky from the freight house and that his returning it had no bearing on the case.

SHOT BY NCGROES
 ON HIS WAY HOME
J. c. Johnson Is Wounded In the Arm and Left Knee, an the Negro
 Makes Good His Escape.

J. c. Johnson, a white man, living at Underwood avenue and Seventh street, was shot by two negroes on Monday night It appears that while Johnson was returning from his work in Gate City, and on the hill above Underwood ave- nue, three loads from a gun shot were fired at him, two of which took effect.
 He was wounded in the knee and the left arm, but not very seriously. It was about o'clock when he met the negroes who assailed him and from whom he man, aged to escape. It is supposed that some difficulty he had with the negro workmer at Gate City was the incentive whicf led to the attack The negroes made good their escape.
