WILL THEY FIeHrs
The Corbett- MttehsiI Decision Al

The Corbett-a azttehstI Dscision .Anx-
iously Awaited.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 31.-The
time for argument in the habeas corpus
proceedings, brought by Corbett and
Mitchell, has been set for January I'd.
One Of the pugilists will be surrendered
by bis bondsmen. Proceedings will inn
mediately be instituted for his release.
Should Judge Call decide that there
ars no grounds upon which the
pugilist can be held, then the
fight will probably come of. The
officials of the Duval club feel very con-
fident the decision will be favorable and
will establish whether the governor has
power to declare the city under martial
law and call for the militia. The laws
of Florida are very concise on
this point, and provide that such
a course is only possible when the
officials Of the county are unable to cope
with the threatened riot or disturbance.
Should the court decide that boxing
contest Is not unlawful, it is difficult to
understand upon what grounds Gov
erner Mitchell will iustiiy the calling
ont of the militia. A number Of at
torneys who have been interviewed on
the question are of the opinion that the
governor would be in contempt of court
should he pursue such course after the
court has decided the question, and
that he would be liable to imprison-
ment.
Both Corbett and Mitchell will be In
Jacksonville tomorrow and will meet at
the performance of The Country Squire,
to be held in the evening. Mitchell and
his party will occupy one of the lower
boxes, while Corbett and his party will
occupy the one directly opposite.
Neither OF the men did much work
today, little morning exercise being
all either accomplished.
New YORK, Dec. 31.-John L. Sulli-
van is of the opinion that if Mitchell
and Corbett meet the contest will be
draw.
"Why do you think it will be Q
draw?" was asked.
"Well, it's simply my opinion, that's
all. I don't think either man will be
knocked out. haven't any idea whether
the fight will be long or short one.
but don't believe Corbett will ever
knock Mitchell sout."
Sullivan intimated the belief that the
governor would prevent the contest
from taking place.

slab in the city mergue lie the charred
rsraaial Of the family OF John Cum
mings. The father. mother, baby and
grandmother are there, awaiting the
outcome OF the inquiry which the coro-
ner began this morning. Nothing in
Nebrasks's annals approaches the deed
for horror. Cummings. who had been
in i'll health for some time, deliberately
set fire to his own house and caused the
death of his mother-in-law. wife and
one-year-old baby.
Little Tommy Fox, when asked
how the fire originated, said
Cummings was sitting on the
edge OF the bed in the rear room
where Mrs. Cummings.wss also, with
the baby. Another person in the room
was Mrs. Fox. mother OF Mrs. Cum
mings. There was fuss about some
thing, and Cummings upset the lamp
and closed the door, compelling all the
inmates to stay there. They cried, but
he refused to LET any Of them out.
When Phillip Nathan, q next-door
nsighbor. fret saw the flames, he no.
ticed that Mrs. Cummings was trying to
open the shutters to the window Of the
bedroom. He heard her cry out and
say: my baby 10 already afreF' Soon
after he saw tho woman enveloped in
flames.
Denny Sexton, who occupies q
room in the basement of the house,
says: For several nights the folks in
the room above had been carousing.
About midnight would begin quar-
rel, and sometimes fight among them
selves for an hour, and then quiet would
be restored gradually, as If all were ex-
hausted. II know they had great
deal Of whisky up there sever al nights.
The trouble began early Saturday night.
The disturbance increased at midnight
and frequently eaths were heard. Finally
about 2 O'Clock terrible scuffie COM
menced. From the noise made by the
heavy shoes of the men as they pushed
each other across the floor, and from
the manner in which they cursed.
knew they were having terrible fight
Suddenly there was q thud over in the
little room to the north, in which the
bodies were found, as If one man had
fallen. He did not attempt to rise,
and l heard the other man take
several steps and then heard woman
scream. She called, "My God," and
then gurgled as if being ehoked. A mo-
ment later another body fell on the
floor. This was followed by crash of
heavy glass, and l saw flames breeking
out through the small window In the
room whore the bodies were found. For
q few minutes confusion Of oaths.
screams and blows could be heard in the
little room, and then all was still"
The police are working on the case,
but have developed nothing, except the
evidence that Cummings committed the
crime whiie in a fit of insane rage.

FRESNO, Dec. 31.-The sheriff's Office
received NO tidings whatever from Sher-
iff Scott or any Of his posse today. The
silence OF the posse seems to indicate
that they have gone far back in the
mountains and expect to stay till some
thing prevents their operations, which
is not likely to occur, as they are well
supplied and equipped. A telephone
message from Sanger announces
that word came dowG the fume
telephone line that the posse were still
pushing back into the mountains. The
public are about equally divided in the
opinion as to fugitives' probable cap
ture. About as many think Evans will
evade the officers as those who think be
cannot escape longer than few days.
In case Of a heavy storm in the noun
tsins within the next day or two, it
would give the officers big advantage
over the bandits and might lead to their
early capture. Some kind of word, di-
rect from the posse, is expected yet to-
night.
