NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 1.-When
the north bound Louisville & Nashville
train pulled into this city at 1898 this
morning crowd of people surged
around the car to see John L. Sullivan,
who was known to be ON board. A ru-
NOR soon obtained circulation that
requiSitiOn was in the hands of the po
lice, several of whom had boarded the
ear. Some discussion, and finally a
struggle was seen in the car, and an Of
ficer reached over his handouts in his
hand, and, seizing the slugger's arm,
pulled him out into the aisle of the car.
Sullivan resisted. Mike Muldoon, who
occupied the same seat, put his head
out of the window and cried to the
crowd: "Gentlemen, demand Amer
lean protection" His patriotic wall
was greeted with variety of responses.
Some cheered Sullivan and begged him
cried, "Hurrah for the Nashville
police" "Hit him with your club" etc.
One youngster who was hanging on the
outside of the car window, ducked his
head behind the sill and informed the
crowd that "the cops have out their
guns" After brief struggle, Sullivan
was taken from the car and hustled to
carriage. In the scuffle he drew back

Clark stuck pistol in his face and told
him if he struck he Clark would
kill him. The officers next grabbed

quietly by and was undisturbed. Mike
Cleary, Sullivan's other second, hid in
the excitement, and one other named
Lynch, jumped off the train. Only

though the others were wanted. The
arrest was made by authority of a tele-
gram from Gov. Lowry, of Mississippi,
to the Nashville chief of police. Sulli-
van has retained eX-Attorney General

officers went beyond their authority
and cannot hold their men. An imme-

parties out On,a writ of habeas corpus.
Gov. Lowry's telegram offers reward
of 81 200, and tits believed that if re-
leased on the present charge, Sullivan
will be rearrested in order to secure
time for requisition to be obtained.

their attorneys.

A FAST PACE.
Sir Archy Wins and the Time
Falls Below Sixteen.

The hour was growing very late when
the last race was called, but it was won in
three straight heats. Sir Archy,
Minnesota bred horse, was the prime
favorite and won handily. making Nc
Carthy's second race of the day. The
five starters drew in the following
order: Tom, Sir Archy, Turk Frank
land Rocky Ford and Lillian. It.was
past o'clock when the race finished,
and the pretty heats we're seen by only
a slim crowd. The details:
First Heat-Archy was bad starter,
and there were five scores before he
could be caught on his feet under the
wire. When they did get away Mac
had worked him to the front, with
Rocky Ford next, Turk and Lillian
punched aud Tom badly off his feet in
the rear. On past the quarter it became
beautiful race, Archy pulling hard
ahead and Lillian rushing along by
Rocky Ford. The latter could not stand
the terrific pace and fell away, while
Lillian shot along and Tapped the lead
er's field. Tom had settled down, but
all he could do was to hold up the tail
of the procession. Down the stretch
Lillian and Archy had stiff race, but

wire, Lillian second, Turk FrankIand
third, Rocky Ford fourth and Tom
fifth. There was applause in the stand
when the time was announced as 2:16I.
Second Heat-Though little slower.
this was still beauty of heat. Sir
Archy was the strong point, and when
he took the lead in this heat it was evil
IDENTIFY to keep it. Lillian began push
ing him on the back stretch and once
collared him at the half. but the stallion
outfooted her and she failed to hold on.
Turk had seemed out of the race until
the three-quarter pole was reached,
when he suddenly pulled into life and
crept up on Lillian. Down the stretch
they came, all under whip and voice,
Turk finally passing Lillian and coming
second by nose. Archy won in 2:1711s,
Turk second. Lillian third, Rocky Ford
fourth, and Tom last.
Third Heat-It was foregone conclu-
sion that Sir Archy would easily walk
away with the race, and it was only a
question of second money. Archy was
never headed, though forced to lively
gait, winning in 2:19A. Frankland got
second place and money, Lillian third,

was conspicuous at every close finish,
and her graceful gestures of delight
attracted as much pleaSurable attention
In her vicinity as the races themselves.
There is nothing that more dis
tinctively marks the proximity of a
large city to race course than the
turnout of equipageS in the inclosure.
Nearly all the fancy horse flesh of the
Twin Cities and the many stylish
eQuipageS, with names known only to
the manufacturers catalogues, were
grouped together, and each with its
brightly dressed occupants and gaily
striped sunShadeS made picture not
often seen disassociated with big race
meeting. All of these scenes made up
the picture of yesterday, and each en-
tered more or less into the success of
the meeting.
THE RACING EVENTS
were of decidedly better class than
those of the preceding day, to say moth
ing of the special events. There was
much regret that the condition of the
track was such-"cuppy," the drivers
call lit-aS to prevent AXtell from low
ering his record several seconds, but it
was agreed that the performance was
therefore all the more wonderful. The
pretty picture of a stallion was
warmly greeted and applauded,
and his proud owner left
no laurels behind him. The pacing OF
Bruno Beaupre's crack team was also
wonderful, under the circumstances.
1t is pity something cannot be done to
hurry up the heats of the trots and
PAGES, so as to finish them in some
reasonable time, instead of at nightfall,
but it seems impossible, and certainly
no one could do more than Starter
Smith to achieve that end. Not half of
that large audience remained until the
end last night.

FOUGHT FOR BLOOD.
Peter Jackson Stops Sailor Brown
in Three Cory Rounds.

CHICAGO, July 11.-A bloody slug
ging match took place in Chicago to-
night, without even the show of inter-
ference made by the Mississippi author
tiles in the Sullivan-Kilrain affair.
About 1000 persons were present and
the match was brought to an end by
the outcry of some of the spec
tators that one of the combat
ants was being killed. The fighter,
whom it was feared might slay
his opponent outright was the giant
negro, Peter Jackson, of Australia. His
victim was a Caucasian, the well known
pugiliSt, Sailor" Brown. jackson had
agreed to ''stop" Brown in six rounds,
and large wagerS had been laid OH each
of the men. The affair was announced to
be in aid of the striking miners at
Braidwood, and was Ostensibly to be
harmless boxing match. A tip was out,
however. that it was to be fight for
blood. Persons who came for gore were
reassured when the gloves were seen to
be of the tWO-ounce hard variety,
and all the paraphernalia of the
prize ring were lugged in. Though
Jackson weighed 200 and Brown but
100, the latter pressed the fighting furi-
Ously until he was pounded into in
SenSlbility. At the first onslaught,
Jackson, IN backing away, accidently
fell over the ropes off the platform, and
was guyed by the crowd as ''nigger."
ETC. In the negro's return, Brown met
him with rapid succession of blows.
Jackson, however, stopped them easily,
and went at 1.-The Sailor" hammer and
tOngs, driving him around the ring re-
peatedly. When the three minutes al
lowed for a round were ended, Mr..
Brown was virtually hOrS de combat.
jackson came to the scratch with
savage look on his face. Brown was
very groggy, but pressed the fighting as
before. The black fellow, with his
long reach easily repelled all attack,
and time and again knocked Brown
head over heels only to find the ire
pressible ''Sailor'' rise up once more
mechanically as an automaton. In this
and the succeeding round the efforts of
Brown were pitiable. He was bleeding
profusely and unable scarcely to raise
his hands. The man was too dazed to
realize the punishment he was getting.
Master of Ceremonies McAvoy put an
end to the miserable business before the
fourth round began, awarding the fight
to jackson, though Browns seconds
were preparing to put the wretched
"Sailor" to The front again. About
$1,000, it is estimated, was netted for the
starving miners.

he started on the 2Sth of June for Du-
luth, intending to spend some weeks in
the open air, fishing. The fatal disease
progressed SO rapidly that he became
absolutely helpless. Gen. Sanborn, his
son-in-law, was telegraphed for and at
once went to his assistance. taking him
to his residence at White Bear, July 8.
Since that time he has been unconscious,
with but few intervals when he could
recognize anyone. His death was
expected any minute since the 5th inst.
when he finally lost consciousness,
being unable to take any nourishment.
He fingered on for six days, wavering
between life and death, and passed
peacefully away shortly after daybreak
yesterday. His death was painless
and almost imperceptible. The children
who survive their father are
Mrs. John B. Sanborn, Mrs. FL. A.
Boardman, Mrs. William Dawson Jr.,
Lieut.. Sedgwick Rice, U. S. A; Stuart,
William and Philip Rice, of Tacoma.
Hon. Henry M. Rice is his brother and
Mrs. Hollingshead his surviving sister.

which has so sadly terminated. The
funeral will take place at p. m. to-
morrow from the residence of the de-

COULD NOT HOLD THEM.
Sullivan and johnson Released
ON HaheaS COrnuS Proceedings

Sullivan and johnson Released
on Habeas Corpus Proceedings.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 1.-THE
question as to whether John L. Sulli-
van and Charlie Johnson could be
legally held in custody to await requisi-
tion papers from Mississippi was argued
in the circuit court here this afternoon.
Defendants petition for a writ of
habeas corpus was read, stating that
he had been arrested on no process
known to law, and held without
any charge against him and
without shadow of legal author
ity. He declared that he had COM
mitted no offense against the laws of
Tennessee and was not subject to legal
restraint. He had committed no felony
in this or any other state. Counsel dis
cussed at length, and finally Judge Nc
Alister rendered his decision. He was
very emphatic in his opinion that to
hold Sullivan longer would be most
arbitrary act on the part of the court;
that the officers had arrested him with
out warrant or authority of law; that
misdemeanOrs were not eXtraditable by
the rulings of Tennessee courts and by
precedents of Gov. Taylor. He there
fore ordered Sullivan and johnson re-
leased. There was an immense crowd
present, and the decision of the Judge
was greeted with great applause. Sulli
van was made a hero of. and the town
was his until he left it at O'clock for

WARNED BY A FRIEND.
Kilrain Gives Buckeye Fly Cops
the Slip.

CINCINNATI. o., July 11,-One of Kill
rains personal friends learned of the
governors message to the chief of po-
lice before O'Clock this afternoon, and
he Immediately telegraphed to Kilrain,
who was on Ohio & Mississippi Train
No. 2. The Kilrain party received the
dispatch west of Seymour, Ind, and.
hastily bundling up, they left the train
when they reached that point.
Arrangements had been made by wire
for the party to go south until
they reached the Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad, which was to hold the ''fast
flying Virginian'' for them. and in this
manner, if the program is carried out.
they will reach Baltimore tomorrow
night. During the consultation before
leaving the Ohio & Mississippi train,
other plans were suggested and may be
adopted if necessary. The Cincinnati
detectives boarded the train at the state
line. but Kilrain had fled. The crowd
at the train at Cincinnati laughed at the
chief of police who was waiting at the
depot, and he retired badly disappoint-
ed. Kilrain was in good spirits on the
train.

Kilrain and His COuerie Hurrying
Toward kentucky.

COLUMBUS, Ind. July 1.-Kilrain
and party came from st. Louis to Sey-
mour. over the Ohio & Mississippi road.
At Seymour the news reached the party
of Sullivan's arrest. The announce
ment came unexpectedly and disturbed
KiIrain, who evidently feared that his
arrest would soon follow. A
conference was held. resulting in their
resolving to leave the Ohio IL Missis-
sippi train and come to Columbus, and
if possible reach Cincinnati by another
road. Once there, they expressed the
feeling that they would be taken care of
by friends. When the party left the
train here they were Immediately recog-
niZed, and crowd soon surrounded
them. They entered hack and were
driven to the BisSell hotel, where Mitch
ell registered for all. He attempted to
fool the people by giving fictitious
rooms, where Kilrain proceeded to take
a good wash. A correspondent was
shown into the room and asked Kilrain
for an interview.
oh the newspapers" he replied. "They
have ruined me already"
He was stripped to the waist and bore
evidence of the terrible punishment he
had received. His body appeared badly
swollen, and was covered with plasters.
A big spot on the right side was blood
red and bloated. His arms were in ter
rible shape. He suffered intensely as
Pony Moore assisted him to put on an
undershirt. He could scarcely stand to
have the collar buttoned, and finched

How came you to stop off in this city?"
was asked of Mitchell.

arrest said he.
When asked as to what programme
talk. He refused to talk of Sullivan's
arrest. During their stay at the hotel
crowd of several hundred people gath
cred, anxious to get glimpse of the
noted guests. The party ordered sup
per, but before it could be prepared
Murphy had slipped out unpercelved
and ordered carriages at neighbOring
livery stable. In about two hours from
the time of their arrival carriage
drove up to the rear door of the hotel,
and the party were hurried into
it and driven off at high
rate of speed, passing out of
the city and north into Kentucky.
1t is presumed they were bound for
either Shelbyville or Edinburgh, the
former being about thirty miles distant
and the latter twelve miles. Kilrain
and Mitchell have many friends in
Shelbyville and it is thought it is their
intention to reach that place where they
will take the Big Four train to Cincin-
natl. The proprietor of the BsseII
house is we'll acquainted with Mitchell
and Kilrain, and said they were going
to Shelbyville. Tonight William
Smith, sheriff of this county. tele-
graphed Gov. Lowry, of Mississippi, if
he desired the arrest of the party. The
following reply was received:
Jackson, Miss, July Ill will pay $500
reward for the arrest of Kilrain and his
party. Charles Mitchell and Pony Moore, de-
iivered to the sheriff here. Answer if ac-
cepted. ROBERT LOWRY.
The sheriff has organized posse and
gone on the trail of the pugilists. They
are about one hour behind in the start,
but it is thought they will Overtake
them. The sheriff and his men are well
prepared for desperate resistance.

The quarter was passed in 80 seconds,
and between that and the half Axtell
pricked up his ears and began to show
the crowd what he could do. He flashed
by the half in 1:06ssl, and as the speed

near, delighted eXclamations escaped

another. "He's the best ever

an enthusiastic admirer of the game
little stallion. The third quarter was
passed in 1891, and as the little horse
came down the home stretch it seemed
almost certain that the hopes of his
friends and owner would be realized.
The wire was passed, according to the
official announcement. in 2:l51aa, though
there seemed to be considerable differ
ence of opinion as to whether or not the
time was shade under that figure.
The track was not quite perfect for an
attempt al record breaking, yet Ine per-
formance of AXtell yesterday is re-
garded as a wonderfully good one. Mr..
Williams is justly proud of his
horse, and is confident that he
will easily break his record un-
der more favorable conditions. Fl. F.
Brown, of Minneapolis, presented Mr..
Williams, after the race, with an ele-
giant lamb's-wool blanket. upon which
was woven in letters of gold cord the
name "AXtell.' Secretary SimOns
handed the owner of the horse and
blanket an elegant diamond lOcket. The
announcement of the presentations was

about the movements of the great de-

moderate-sized crowd assembled at the

brimful of curiosity, and peered
eagerly into the various cars

covering nothing. An Associated Press
