BEAT HIS TRAIN ON FOOT.


IL. G. Sowjgr Relates Instnllcc of
Slow Moving Cattle Trains.
In ae hearing before Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Prouty sat
urday John Landegrin, of Vega, Al
Cheshire Of New Mexico and h. c.
Sowder inspector for the Texas Cat
tie RaIsers association at Amarillo,
testified as to practices of the rail
roads in caring for cattle shipments.
In the main their testimony went to
prove that the roads, owing to the
condition of the tracks, shortage of
motive power and such causes, con-
sumed longer time than formerly in
getting cattle to the market
In the course of the investigation
Commissioner Prouty asked II. c.
Sowder, who was on the stand, If he
could specify any instance that
would show the slow moving of the
cattle trains
"Wcll related the witness there
was a fellow on one Of Jim Curtis
stock trains last fall going east on
the Rock Island over here in Okla
homa that let the train go off and
leave him at one of tho stations, but
when he got ready he just started
out and walked after it. He caught
it in fourteen miles, ! guess that
illustrates some"
1t evidently did illustrate some
to the commissioner for he leaned
back and shook till the tears made
his glasses dim, Inspector Sowder
related a number of other facts but
none that made such visible i'm
preston on the honorable commits
sioner as did the story of the COW
man who ran down a Rock Island
train.

preference from the side lines.
People n hacks, automobiles, bug
gies on horseback and on foot went
out to the course to witness the race
and during the running the down
town streets were unusually quiet
A dispute over terms kept the
judges from rendering decision
Immediately after the race this aft
ernoon but the REQ car driven by
Ed Grabrow, with l.. NJ Barber as
machlnest, had the best of the ar
gument in the speed shown, This
car ran the course which was a
straightaway and made the turn be-
tween the stakes at the end Of the
course.
The Buick car driven by Edgar
Day, with Ed Hatch as machinst,
made the turn in figure eight fashion
as had been prescribed by the
judges. This, they claim, forced
them TO slow down for the double
turn while the other machine with
the single turn kept up a higher
speed.
The judges, Messrs. Barnes and
]. Webb Mcqueen rendered the de-
clsion in favor of the Buick machine
driven by Day on the ground of
foul. The Buick men still claim
thew could beat the other machine
while the Rea men are equally en-
phatic in saying that they won the
race today. The opportunity for
argument is endless and probably
result in additional speed trials.
