Tb5 fact is that the big Californian is
fortunately not quite rs we'll posted

IN "a very serious difficulty, which

.r.ls fr addition 90 his punching the
f-r and going through with the rest OF
n. training ln his private car caused
81. ,ts trouble. 40 one had the slight
..- ,.sa.cion Of trouble tili after mid
hight when Billy Delaney, who IS with
Crrh.tt's train, was warned OF the dan
Ger and told 90 ge: C0r5ett and party
.or- % the State as quickly as possible
a. tbe solicitor General, who is lawyer
and preacher combined, was going to
srvs Corbett arrested ia the morning
for Decorating the sabbath.
The entire party had retired for the

tray were located in different hotels, 10
took some little time 20 gather them all
in without exciting suspicion. BY .
o'clock. however, they were all on hand
and when the train 80. arrived from
Washington, COrbett was slowed away
10 one OF the s.eepers while another
member o.; the party occupied his bed
in his private car, who was ready to
stand arrest iu case the train was de-

At 2.2O q. M. just as The train was
about leaving the depot, the Corbett
training car was attached % the train
and drawn out OF Charlotte In safety.
There were o number OF police officers
gathered around the train, Dot no at
tempt was made 20 detain the train,
though they had gone 20 the trouble Of
locating Corbett'S room in tho hotel. Il

Corbett party rather took them by sur
prise and occurred before they had de-
cded 20 make tie raid.
The run 70 this place was a good one
aud the party got iu By 3. IN. The
party slept until 10 a. m. Corbett went
into his own car after leaving Char

two steaks, two soft-b0iled eggs, fried
potatoes, griddle cakes and four cups OF
tea. After breakfast he spent an hour
playing billiards and then put In the
rest of his timo going through his regu-
lar course OF training, which he will
continue. He te.eErapbed Phil Dryer
