PROSECUTING THE sLUGGERs.
JACKSON, Miss, July Is -Arrsngenents
for tn. prosecution of all persons and
corporations connected In any way with
the late Sullivan Kilrain fight are pro-
crossing, and big affair it will prove to
be. Sheriff Cowsrt, who witnessed the
fight, and Mr.. Rich, of Richburg, are likely
to participate, as we'll as other prominent
parties in New Orleans and elsewhere.
The governor does not doubt that he Will
eventually get the principals, Sullivan
and Kilrain, together with their gangs or
some of them. The Queen and Crescent
is beginning to show fight, but the gov
ernor says they will rue the day when they
took legal advisers and became parties to
the late slugging match in Mississippi.
Gov. Lowry is an old lawyer. He has also
served in both branches of the Legislature,
and probably his opinion is deserving of
more credit than the Queen and Crescent
officers are disposed to grant. O:her
eminent lawyers agree with him that the
60 Af he rho he
vented.
