ONLY ONE KILLED

At Big Auto Races Tuesday— Hundred Thousand People Disappointed. One hundred thousand people saw the auto races at Indianapolis Tuesday, and there was the largest number of strangers in the city that Indianapolis ever entertained. The races, while good, were not as exciting as anticipated, only one Person being killed and about a dozen injured. Roy Harroun, driving a Marmon car, won the 500 mile race in six hours, forty-one minutes and eight seconds, making an * average of about seventy-five miles an hour.
