Something of sensational nature oc-
Cured when the soldiers were passing
in front of the Globe saloon. All the
way up the street they were met with
derisive yells and Misses. In front of
the saloon was an unusually large crowd
which gave vent to it's displeasure by
such volume of Kisses it must have
made the ears of the soldiers tingie.
The Kisses increased until the noise be-
came a growl, when the soldiers sud-
denly under an order from the captains
lowered their guns to position to load
and went through the motion, whether
they did or not. This significant action
was at once noticed by the crowd and it
only increased the ridIcule.
The men were very angry when they
reached the armory, claiming that the
Kisses and other insults they were sub
iected to on their march from the rail-
road station had left them with no
good feeling toward the people of Jack
sonvile. Of the same frame of mind
were the men of Company D, Captain
Teller. One private went SO far as to
say that had he not received strict
orders not to fire unless commanded,
some one in the crowd would have been
hurt when the kissing began.
eff we face q nob," said one lieuten-
ant, "and get orders to fire we will do
so and not in the air either. Our boys
were brought up with guns in their
hands and can hit man across the
street. After the treatment we have
ro,e;yad fopipbt bpouy INV man orc
very ill-humored and l believe they
will shoot to kill should the occasion
required it."
Similar expressions were made by
others of the battalion and the fact is
evident that there is much bad feeling
among the boys in blue from outside
districts over the reception accorded
them by large portion OF the people of
Jacksonville.
That much endorsed and much
talked of check for $40, 900, which rep
sents the purse for which Corbett and
Mitchell are to fight, has not yet gone
down the back entry of time. 1t is yet
an element in question and will remain
so to the end. When Referee Kelly
yesterday called upon the club to con-
vert the check into cash the club in
conference decided to do SO. In some
way or another it seems to have been at
time unknown to either Kelly or to the
club that something stuck to the check
and it is again dangling before the pub
lie eve today.
Last night it was generally under.
stood that the check matter had beer
ended and that Kelly today would re-
ceive 5000 in cash. Kelly, however,
has not yet handled any money realized
from this check and the indications are
that he may not do so until the contest
is ended.
At a conference between Kelly and
the club the members of the club an.
nounced that if an injunction is granted
the club tomorrow the cash for the
check will be at once turned over. II
the injunction is refused the fight will
be declared off.
Kelly says he will not referee the
fight if the money is not in his hands
before the contest. Kelly declares that
he has every confidence in the Duval
club. Although rumors had been in
circulation that it was not playing
square, he thought they came from
men trying to make capital from moth
ing and he believed that tomorrow
everything would be satisfactorily ar
ranged.
