ST.. Louis. July 1O.-Kilrain and party
arrived here this morning. Kilrain looks
bad, but he is far from the grave as before:
the battle are concerned. His face is
badly bruised, both eyes are badly black
ened, lins cut but not severely, and his jaw
gives evidence OF some taps thereon from
the brawny arm OF Sullivan. Kirain
walks without any assistance. but is far
from fiisky. He is also badly frightened,
and fears Governor Lowry more than he
did John L. He still looks to Mitchell and
oEeys his orders like a child.
Mitchell opened with statement that
the fight was lost because Jake wasn't in
.
him if he did not feel badly, and he deceived
me by saying mo-. Now, didn't you
Jake?"
II felt well enough to do him"
GRewLED THE FALLEN IDOL.
1.-THE whole story in nut SHE'LL" con-
tinued Mitchell, 'can be quickly told. Jake
had no time to get fitand the sun knocked
him out. The battle was lair and square,
and we have no complaint to make"
"But didn't Sullivan assist the sun in
knocking out Kilrsin?"
"Some," said Mitchell. "Yes, Sullivan
did get in some damaging punches in the
third and l believe the seventh rounds.
But it's bloody shame to talk about
Dosing" continued Mitchell, land
about my leaving Jake because no
was defeated. Jake will tell you
him, why, was looking out that we were
not nabbed by "bobbies" in Mississippi,
and stood on the front platform to pre-
vent the uncoupling OF the train. Bud
Masterson OF Denver, who is charged with
twenty-five lives, stood by me and prom
ised to shoot the fret man who touched q
coupling pin, and by courtesy OF the asso-
ciated press we finally got into New Or
leans on their special train. It was forced
courtesy, know, but we couldn't help it.
We had to get out of Y ississippi and quick,
too."
"People would prefer your statement as
to the fight, Jake" suggested an. Associ.
ciated Press reporter.
"wELL HE WHIPPED Me-"
replied Jake, "and he did it fairly. WASN'T
in condition. The truth is had but two
weeks training. The heat assisted, but
was not drugged. Don't blame anybody,
and acknowledge defeat. I was over con-
fident, perhaps, but still think l can whip
Sullivan and shall try for another 60 at
him."
This statement was made in disheart-
| ened way. however, and it was clearly evil
dent that Kilrain is not over-anxious Tor
another battle.
81 feel bad about losing the fight, said
Kilrain, "but am not suffering very much
physically. It meant fortune to me, ii
won. need not havefocght again, but now
must"
Mitchell says he will challenge Sullivan
| for another battle, and Pony Moore stands
ready to back his son-in-law for anyamount.

NASHVILLE, July 11.-John L. Sullivan
arrived here this morning and was arrested
upon a requisition from the Governor OF
Mississippi, and placed in the city jail.
Muldoon, Cleary and Charlie johnson were
| also arrested.
At 3 O'Clock Judge McAllister, of the cir
cult court, heard argument in the Sullivan
petition for writ OF habeas corpus. In
rendering the decision the judge was very
emphatic in his declaration that to hold
Sullivan longer would be a most arbitrary
act on the part of the court; that the Off
GERS have arrested him without warrant or
authority OF law; that misdemeanor was
not extraditable by the laws OF the Ten
nessee courts and by the precedents OF
Gov. Tyler. He therefore ordered Sullivan
released.
There was an immense crowd present and
the decision of the Judge was greeted with
great applause.
Sullivan and Johnson went east via the
Louisville & Nashville railroad tonight.

COLUMBUS, Ind, July 11.-Kilrain and
party arrived here this afternoon. A re-
porter boarded the train, but Kilrain re-

stripped to the waist to wash. His body

with plasters. big spot on the right side
was blood-red and bloated.
