To Escape Bullets.

Train No. q arrived in Atlanta last
night at S:55 o'clock with four passen-
gers, all commercial statesmen, who had
been given an exciting ride. They had
been sitting on the floor between the
avoid bullets.
The train was fired upon by a crowd
of strike sympathizers at Buckhead, a
station near Augusta. At Social Circle
another volley of shots was heard, but
none of the bullets struck the train
and it is believed the crowd was merely
trying to Brighten the crew. At Stone
Mountain the train struck a long
stretch Of creased track on an upgrade
and the driving wheels spun and the
engine puffed for long time before the
grease was overcome.

FOR GRAND PR|X
Betting Odds at Milwaukee
Shift When Famous Racer
Enters Contest.

MILWAUKEE,, WIS, Oct. 5.-At
1000 o'clock Robert Burman, in his
giant Benz, was sent away first in a
field of twelve in the Grand Prix race,
the automobile classic of the year. AT
intervals of one minute the other cars
crossed the starting line and the race
was on. The track was in the best con-
dition it has been in since the racing
started Drivers pronounced it both
safe and fast.
MILWAUKEE, WIS, Oct. 5.-Twelve
drivers, considered the pick of the au-
tomobile world, swung their big racing
cars to the starting line just before 10
o'clock today, the hour set for the run
ming of the grand prix, as a crowd of
100000 cheered itself hoarse
Conditions were considered perfect
for the premier automobile event. Thou
sands of gallons of crude oil were put
on the course. and Iaborers worked all
night and early today getting it into
shape. The course was closed at $50,
and 500 militiamen guarded it against
encroachers.
Barney Oldfeld's eleventh hour deci-
sion to enter the race in a Fiat switch
ed the betting odds, for many in the
crowd believed that if anybody could
win race at any time with any kind
of machine, Oldfeld is the man.
There was not a starter, however, who
was not literally backed and it was
hard to tell who vase the real favorite
with the immense throng. Ralph De-
Palma's win of the Vanderbilt cup race,
following his Elgin victory, made him a
great favorite with the aymen.
