Despite the vigorous efforts made by
some or the prominent citizens OF st.

law, but the Sheriff has said that he will
arrest the men after the battle. Pressure
is being brought to bear TO influence the
police TO act and prevent the contest.

rested last evening, but were immedi-
ntely released on bail Fttzsimmons Is
the favorite in the betting.
