Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1888-03-12

WASHINGTON CITY. March l2,-Congress-
man Springer has received dispatch from
Tucson, A. T., stating that United States
Marshal Meade, while pursuing train robbers
in Mexico, penetrated that country about 100
miles on their trail, reaching Janos, Chi
huahua. Here the marshal was arrested and
Jailed by the Mexican authorities, bail being
refused. Janos is a nest Of bandits. and was
the rendezvous of Geronimo and other
Apaches. There is much excitement in Tue
soR over the matter. Springer turned the
dispatch over to the state department. The
officials of both nations have been in the
habit of following hostile Indians across the
border, and it is n treaty right, but whether
it applies to white train robbers is not known

PARIS March l2-Sullivan and Mitchell
were before the French magistrate at Senlis
Sunday, and were put under bonds to keep
the peace, Sullivan's eyes were both swollen
and disculored His lips We're cut and pulled
up in a way that quite diStgurcd him. His
left ear was swollen and smeared with blood,
the effect of IA crash counter from Mitchell
in the fifteenth round, Mitchell had one
good eye to look upon the magistrate with,
but the other his left, was pulled out in
most eXtravagant way and united many

safely, but the rest of his head was com
pletely battered His scalp came mp in Jumps

than a hens egg
Both mems hands were knocked to pieces
Mitchell's right was fairly preserved, but his
left was "A complete wreck, All his left hand

heel of the hand open. Both men were pitt
fully stiff, and, in fact scarcely able to move.

SpliN l., - LIN AN. Is tlle above all To
his folly in altering his style of fighting
ing with caution and diplomacy the daring
smuggling which made him always victor in
few rounds. He began by being cautious,
playing thus into Mitchells hands and kept
it up until the driving rain and exposure had
set him trembling and robbed him of the
vitality necessary to send in his sedge-ham-
mer blows. Twice during the fight he could
certainly have won on his own tactics by
pressing his man, but did not do so, fearing,
apparently, to lay himself open, and unwill-
ing to take any risks No greater change
could be imagined. 1t was bull initiating a
fox. Toward the end of the fight Sullivan's
friends saw his mistake, and urged him to go
in and finish it, but it was then too late, for
Sullivan no longer had the energy i'll him.
He was worn out by the long effort.
The fighting place was found by Gideon, n
Paris bookmaker. The fighters and their
friends left AmienS Saturday morning at $50
o'clock, and bought tickets for Paris. This
was to deceive the police should they he
watching. All got out at Creil, Il little town
fifteen miles from Paris, and the fighting
crowd distributed itself once more in the no

lieved that Mitchell would fight, and he did

not deny that he only anxious to make
such a showing as would help his reputation,
and did not have any hope to win. Sulli-
vans friends tied his colors, an American
flag, with the eagle, shamrock and harp of
Erin, about their necks, destined soon to be
taken sorrowfully Off and at 1l:30 a long
string of carriages, filled with the fighters
and their friends, started for the ring at
Opremont, half why on the road to Chan
lilly.
For tho first few rounds Sullivan appeared
to be the grand fighter that the world be
lieved him to be Pity was universal for
Mitchell, who looked so small beside the big
fellow and so pale and worried, and yet so
plucky. 1t must be repeated over and over
that Mitchell showed pluck unbounded, which
won for him the admiration of those who had
the best reasons to be preiudiced against him.
After throwing his hat into the ring accord
ing to the old prize fighting custom, Sullivan
climbed through the ropes, and, waving big
bunch of English bank-notes, offered to bet
$500 on himself against GOO. No one ac-
cepted, and Sullivan challenged links, one of
the many American gamblers who thrive in
London, and who was backing Mitchell
Jnks was not tempted, but said simply that
he had enough bets, Not IL man ON the
ground thought Mitchell had the slightest
chance When the mon went at each other
at 247 o'clock the tactics of both men soon
became evident. Sullivans desire, which evil
IDENTIFY made him absolutely confident of sue
ceeding, was to wait for "A chance to get his
right on MtcheliS neck and knock him sense
less with one blow. Mitchell until the very
end kept clear of Sullivans head, and devoted
all his skill to keeping his own head out of
reach and getting his fist ON Sullivun's
stomach.
The first round began in the greatest silence
and with intense excitement. Sullivan
planted his left Mitchell tried body blow,
but fuilcl Sullivan landed lightly on Mitch
ellis head. He then aimed another body blow
and stopped. John for the first time let go
both hands and knocked Mitchell down. The
latter was carried to his corner by his seconds,
Baldrock and Jake Kilrain. Sullivan did not
go down, and walked to his corner. a lot of
maneuvering and sparring at a distance for
an opening was sandwiched between the
blows recorded, The following rounds were
like the first with variations. Sullivan went
to the ground but twice on his hands, and got
backwards once in slipping and another time
