GRADE TO BE FINISHED THE
COMING WEEK WITHOUT FAIL
The Estacado and Gulf Railroad
Oompany received Its first car-load of
material last week. It consisted of
drain pipe made by the Atlas Company
of Dallas and is now being distributed
to the contractors along tho grade.
t This pipe is all that is needed to com
plete the dirt work on the greater part
of the lien and will be placed In posi-
tion at once.
Mr. Landon chief engineer states
to The Banner reporter that grading
of tho line will be practically finished
In a week from today. Tho contrac-
tors have made good time through tho

er shipments will soon follow and the
actual laying of steel will bo begun

J3adjL.for tho track material.
"When tho first car load of material
arrived in McCaulley on Saturday last
some of the citizens over there realized
that the railroad was a sure go and
they had a little Indian war dance all
by themselves. Cheering was Indulg-
ed in hats thrown in the air and a
general "handfest" partlclapted in by
tho men. Walt until the road Is Into

TEGUCIGALPA HONDURAS July
17. The Honduranian situation In re-
gard to the revolution dally assumes
a graver -aspect. Prospects are ripe
for a general revolution posibly to ex-
tend into Nicaragua.
Latest reports received from the
American consul at Trujlllo tell of
the capture by the revolutionists of
the towa of Porvonlr on the north
coast of Honduras in which was loca-
ted a goodly number of ammunition
and government stores.
The revolutionists suffered a re-
pulse today when tho attempted to
take by storm the city of Celba sixty
miles west of Trujlllo. After a spiri-
ted engagement of five hours the at-
tacking force drew back. The revolu
tionists hayo also met reverses in the
south and are fleeing Into Salvador.
General Porflrlo Garcia of the reg
ular army Is authority for the state-
ment that the revolutionist forces are
commanded and largely composed of
aliens fortune hunters and adventurers.
LOUISVILLE KY. July 22. Tho
night rldors burned tho station houso
of tho Illinois Contrnl at Gracoy Ottor
Pond and Cerulean Springs last night
It Is supposed that tho reason for
this wholesale burning of railroad pro
porty was for revenge for the Madison
vlllo soldiers being allowed to camp
on tho Contral property at Cobb dur
ing tho recent disturbances. A short
time ago the militia was called out to
stop tho raids of tho night riders and
it was thought that tho worst of their
raids were over but the trouble of last
night shows that it was only smoldor-lng.
Shortly after one o'clock this morn-
ing about twenty men masked and
armed rodo'lnto the town of Gracoy
and directly to the telephone exchange
After capturing tho-exchango tho night
riders took tho operators with thoin
and proceeded to the station. Tho sta-
tion was set oh fire and the riders rcT
leased their prisoners and rode away.
Practically tho same method was fol-
lowed at Cerulean. At Cobb the rid-
ers set fire to the station and fired
their revolvers and sohtguns in a pro-
miscuous way before leaving. Tho
band was disbursed by morning and
no traces of thenH could bo found. How
fever It Is presumed that as they havo
started their work again It will he nec-
essary to keep strict watch for a few
day's. -

The final four hundred metre hur-
dle raco was won by Bacon of the

fifty-five seconds. The. final hundred
niotro dash Is on tho program for to-
day and It is predicted by experts that
'America and Canada are tho only coun
tries that havo any show In this
Thoso who aro qualified for this are:
Walker South Africa; Kerr Cnnnda;

ica Is depending for the first place in

i.t the close of tho games yesterday
tho American Athletes woro holding
second place with tho United Kingdom
only six points ahead. It Is safo to
predict that America will hold first
place by the end of todayB events. Wo
have already won first place which
puts us only ono point behind the Uni-
ted Kingdom and ns they have no en-
try In tho Anal ono hundred motre
dash they cannot possibly score a

vorlto entry.
