TExARKANA, TEX. July IA large
portion of our community was Yictimized
by the Sullivan canard last night. The
report that the great fighter would be on
the Texas and Pacific train attracted. a
large crowd to the depot, and what was
Reported by many as hoax wastakensss
a reality when as the last car was moving,
in a man, evidently unconscious of the
attention he was attracting on the train,
was seen at the window. He bore evil
dences of having encountered a recent
storm, as he had one ear in a sling, one
eye out of plumb, the other in deep
mourning, besides other external evil
dences of internal injury. The assem-
blage quickly took him to be Sullivan ,,
but it now transpires that it was not the
pugilist. The man who received such
unsought attention is said to be broad
shouldered, deep chested tobacco drum
mer from Chicago. He had just effected
a settlement, it is said, with a country
merchant down in Texas. and was on his
way home to report the result.

heartened way, however, and if Was
clearly evident that. Kilraln is not over

says he will challenge Sullivan for an
other battle, and Pony Moore stated he

Governor Lowry will Prosecute All Parties

New ORLEANS, La, July Il "A spe-
cial from Jackson, Miss, says: After
the arrest of John L. Sullivan and party
at Nashville to-day it was thought by
Governor Lowry that they could be held
until requisition papers and officers
reached there. This hope vanished +,
however, when a telegram from Gov
ernor Taylor was received this evening
saying Sullivan had been released on the
trial of the habeas corpus. Governor
Lowry then telegraphed to points beyohdy
Nashville to arrest Sullivan and party !,
TO which no response has yet been re-
ceived.
The KilraIn party are also being pur-
sued, with chances of capture. They
changed their original route. Handsome
rewards are offered for the capture of
both parties and their delivery to state
officers, which if effected they VIII be
returned to jackson for trial under the
law of 1882. Governor Lowry intends to
prosecute all persons party to the offense,
but gives ne names at present, though it
is believed the referee and the officers of
the Queen and Crescent are among them.
The latter afforded accommodation to
and from the battle grounds and after
wards aided the party to escape over

IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
SIOUX FALLS, OAK, July 1.-THE
eighth days session of the South Dakota
constitutional convention was marked by
spirited debate. 1t had been proposed
to memorabilia the president to suspend
mineral entries upon school lands near
large cities in agricultural districts, until
the state is organized and can defend
its rights thereto IN case such entries are
attempted to obtain such land fraudu-
lently. A strong opposition was offered
on the ground that the ordl-.
nary operation of law Is
sufheient to preveIt such fraud,
and that to ask the president to suspend
an entire class OF entries was equivalent
to petitioning him to do something that
resulted in so much criticism of ex-Com-
missioner Sparks. 1t was further OPP
posed on the ground that even if parties
obtained possession of school lands I'M
der cover of mineral land such
lands should receive non mineral title
thereto and could ultimately revert TO
the public and therefore no loss could be
sustained. Despite these considerations,
however, the memorial was adopted by
vote of 80 to %.
All exposition TO reference of every
part of the constitution of 1855 to appro-
pirate committees was withdrawn, not
withstanding the strong objections of the
day previous. There is no intention of
going outside of strict limitations OF the
enabling act.

the athletes fall slightly behind the non
athletes in scholarship, but not so much
as to demand suppression of such exer-

sports are above the average of the non
