The Contestants Become Friends Before
the Bar of Justice.
Corbett and Mitchell after the fight
shook hands and bridged the chasm be-
tween them. 1t was not proceeding,
however, which was at first relished by
the champion. The reconciliation was
brought about by the officials of the
club when the two fighters stood as
companions before the bar of justice.
While waiting for the proceedings to
begin, the men were the center of differ
ent groups.
Jim, l want you to go with me and
shake hands with MITCHELL" said Joe
Vendig.
"Oh, no, don't care to do that" re-
piled Corbett. .He has said SO many
mean things about me that don't care
to make up"
"But you are the winner and it is your
duty" urged Vendig.
"Well, all right, I'll co." finally said
Corbett, with shrug of the shoulders,
and forthwith he walked over to where
Mitchell was sitting. Mitchell got up
and warmly shook the hand that was
offered him, and then followed explana-
tions. Mitchell said he had often been
misquoted, but it was true that he had
said mean things of Corbett, but that
was when he did not know what kind of

ylM'S APPEARANCE RATIFIED HIM,
And From the Beginning He
Was Fighting Only to Be
Whipped.
THE ENTIRE PARTY ARRESTED,
Principals and Seconds Placed
Under Bonds to Await
Hearing.

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 26-If ever pu-
gilist was beaten utterly, that pugilist
was Charles Mitchell. He was beaten
man when he stood up before Corbett In
the first round, before a feint had been
made or a blow delivered. He was
beaten at that time, not by the prowess
of his opponent, but by his own dread OF
defeat. In his Utmost soul Mitchell
never could have thought that he had
chance to win. All through his train
ing he has been cool, calm. modest and
apparently confident. Down deep in
his heart, however, he must have had a
lurking fear that it would not be well
with him on
The Day of Battle.
If he had never held this feeling, his
face did not betray the workings OF his
mind Alright. 1t may be that he had
underestimate Corbett, and became
alarmed when he saw him in the ring,
but, be that as it may, before the first
round of the fight was fairly on his
features were white and drawn, and a
wild look of apprehension was in his
eyes. He had lost confidence in himself
and from then on he was fighting only
to be whipped. Corbett, on the other
hand, was confident and sure of himself
at all times, and, if one can tell from a
mans face what thoughts are in his
mind, he was confident and sure of
Mitchell too. It was time when his
personal vengeance over what he
deemed unpardolable insult was to be
glutted, and he
Reaped the Full Measure
of his satisfaction. He said early in his
training days that when the time came
he would take his tine about finishing
his man, and enjoy to the utmost the
qualification of his revenge. His fight
ing blood was flowing warm and fast,
however, and in his anxiety to win he
almost threw away his chances of vic
tory by striking fallen man. It was
only with the greatest difficulty that he
was restrained by his seconds from
doing SO.
Corbett's demeanor throughout the
preliminaries was a study. He sat in
his corner presenting picture not un-
like that of an Indian warrior when
Mitchell came in the ring. His long
pompadour hair, his striped robe, thin
face and
Tightly Compressed Lips
made him look very much like an indian
chief. When Mitchell stepped into the
ring the look on Corbett's face was
frightful. He kept moving his head
gently forward and back, his eyes
flashed with anger, and cold cruel
smile played about his thin lips. It was
a smile that was ugly. 1t meant no
mercy, no respite, no anything, would
be granted to the man before him. It
was smile that carried feeling of
murder with it, and if Mitchell had
never felt uneasy before, it was enough
to bring discomfort if he saw it. It said
plainly as could be uttered with the
voice: "He is here at last; just as I
wanted him, and I will whip him if I
have to kill him." The smile was a
true index of the result, so soon to
follow.

Corbett and Mitchell Taken in Hand by
the Sheriff.
Corbett rested for quarter OF an
hour in his dressingroom, chatting with
his friends and expressing satisfaction
with the result. He would liked to
punish Mitchell more, and that was ap-
parently his only regret. Mitchell re-
manned in his dressingroom resting after
Corbett had gone. His face was washed
of the blood with which it had been
smeared and he was made ready TO
leave the city.
Just as Corbett's carriage was ready
to drive off, a deputy sheriff got on TOP
with the driver, and the startling an
nouncement was made that the Amari
can champion was un0er arrest Mitch
ell did not escape. Sheriff Broward
walked over to the Englishman's car
riage just before it was ready to start,
and Mitchell was notified that he musr
again face the law. After being taken
to the Everett House Ivy Sheriff Brow
ard, where he was given bath and
slight rub down, Mitchell was taken to
the courthouse. With him were Billy
Thompson and Colonel Cockrell. The
party went to the sheriff's private Office
and messenger was sent to hunt up
Judge Call. Mitchell looked none the
worse fer his hard punching. The En-

STORY OF THE FIGHT.
The Result Foregone Conclusion From
the beginning.

The Result Foregone Conclusion From
the beginning.
The fight was short, sharp, and de-
cisive, too brief to have any of the ele-
ments of savagery in it. The result was
foregone conclusion from the moment
when the men stepped to the center of
the ring, and Corbett's hatred of the En-
glishman coming to the surface pre-
vented him from shaking hands with
the man who had SO uniformly abused
and insulted him. There was all but
murder in Corbett's eyes. They faced
each other and the intense feeling of
hatred almost gave Corbett the fight as
he cornered the Englishman, and as his
long arms shot out
With the Force of a Catapult
there was vengeance in the wind.
Mitchell showed wonderful cleyerness
in the beginning, crawling out of the
close quarters into which the superior
size, reach and weight of his opponent
bore him, but there was no faltering in
Corbett's plan of campaign, and he
slowly surrounded the Briton, raining
in upon his head and sides shower of
savage punches. There was despair in
Mitchell's face as he vainly tried to
elude his agile pursuer, and finally,
when Corbett closed with his opponent
in an off corner, Mitchell realized that
it was no longer possible for him to es-
cape the battery of the American. He
pluckily tried to spar, and failing,
fought to clinch, but Corbett finally
beat him off and with
Sharp Blow on the Jaw
brought the Englishmen on all fours.
1t was then that the crowd broke loose
in a wild shout of applause. With the

James J. Corbett, champion heavy
weight pugillst of the world, was seen
by representative of the Associated
Press in his dressingroom Immediately
after the fight.
''What do think of it?'' he replied to
the reporter. "Well, think of it now
as did before the fight. I never har-
bored any doubts as to the result Of the
fight. l am now content to rest on my
oars until next June, when hope to
demonstrate to people who think to the
contrary that l have punch or two left
over from this battle for Jackson"
What Mitchell Says.

to reporter:

to await the arrival of Judge Call. The
arrest was caused by Attorney General
Lamar on the charge of fighting by pre-

remainder of the party under $3.50 to
