OAKDALa, Tenn, July 6.-Kihain and
party left Cincinnati yesterday morning
with some fear that they would be stopped
in Mississippi. the governor having offered
4 reward Tor the arrest OF either of the
principals. Hiirain became very uneasy
and take another train, but the attorney of
the railway who was on the train explained
that there was no law in Mississippi under
which the authorities could arrest him for
simply passing through. no matter what
was the object of the trip. This treasured
Jake and it was decided that the party
should 90 right through. The news that
Sullivan had arrived safely in New
Orleans made hlrain dOubly anxious to
escape. Another spasm was caused by a
strange looking man getting on at Lock
wood station, just out of Cincin-
natl He said he was a detec-
tive and had come to arrest Jake.
He was ali official on his way to New Or
leans with a requisitiOn for a burglar. He
entertained the Kilrain party with many
accounts of little incidents in his official
career, and also warned those who carried
knives or pistols to keep them in their
satchels while passing through Mississippi.
He said it was an old dodge to stop people
for carrying concealed weapons in that
state, and from what he had heard at Gin
cinnati several young Mississippi deputy
SEeriff5 intend to make some notoriety for
themselves by trying to pinch Jake.
Everybody took along copies Of the Cincin
natl papers which roasted I[ilrain in the
most violent terms. He was called ehump
and blackgGard, but Jake did not mind
these things but felt sore over the report
that he drank ten glasses of beer over the
Rhine"
He went across the river with some friends
who drank in moderation, but hilrain did
not taste a drop of anything neither did
ne smoke Jake argued that the report
would injure him with his far away
friends who depend in their betting almost
altogether upon newspaper reports.
Pony Moore, who is quick tempered,
wanted to thrash all the reporters in Gin
cinnasi, but as he did not have time today.
he concluded to put it off until his return.
At every stopping place crowd was con-
gregated, the cheers being divided between
the two pugilists. Many insulting remarks
were made but no attention was paid
to them. Kilrain passed his time to this
point either sleeping or playing cards He
is still confident, and so is every member
of the delegation. Billy Madden, who, next
to Mitchell, is the best posted man in
Anne, "a on the relative merits of the
men, says that Jake will win
He based his opinion on Kilrain's great i'm
provement in Baltimore and Sullivan'S
formerly superb condition. He does not
think Sullivan nearly so good without gloves
as with them, nor does he believe the big
fellow in his best day could have whipped
Kilrain as he now stands. Dominick Nc
Caffrey thinks Jake will win; Johnnie Rea-
gan, the well known middle weight who is
matched to fight young Mitchell, of Califor-
MIA next October, came over on New
York special and joined Kilrain at Cincin-
natl, says the New York sports are on Kill
rain to man; heis quite enthusiastic over
Jake's prospects and says he intends to re-
turn with big Doodle.
