OBJECT To HOT SPRINGS.
He VIII Continue His Training at
San Antonio Until a Day or Two
Before the Fight-The Governor of
Arkansas Intimates That He Will
Interfere if an Attempt Is Made 40
Fight in That State-The City Au-
thOrities of Hot Springs Appear
Anxious 10 Have the Fight Come
on There.
San Antonio, Tex, Oct. 1O-Corbett re-
sumed his training at an early hour this
morning, all the members of his party
having returned from Austin last night.
1t is their opinion that the county grand
jury is seeking to find an indictment
against Corbett, Fitzsimmons and Stuart,
but they will not divulge the nature of
the questions asked them. Corbett re-
ceived word this morning that Hot Springs
has been decided upon as the place for
pulling off the fight. He stated that he
is glad that the location of the fight has
at last been definitely settled, as Fitz-
simmons cannot escape meeting him. He
said that the referee will be selected to-
day. Corbett will continue his training
here and will not leave for Hot Springs
until day or two before the fight comes
off.
st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 10-A special to
the Chronicle from Little Rock, Ark,
says that in an interview this morning,
Gov. Clark said: Neither Corbett nor
Fitzsimmons has yet said, so far as 1
have heard, that the mill was to take
place in this or any other state, and as
they will evidently be the chief attrac-
coming exhibition I
TO wait until something more tangible
than talk develops before 1 say Just what
1 Will do SHOULD the fighters attempt to
meet in Arkansas. In other words, l
will not cross the bridge until l get to it,
The impression has gone out that Hot
Springs has been selected as being the
best place for an exhibition of the kind
proposed, and by common rumor, the
officers down there, including the mayor
the mill, but l hardly believe all l hear.
one thing, however, 1 shall not need
further authority than that at present
on the statute books, 10 prevent people
from coming into the state for purposes
that are prohibited by every state in the
Attorney General Trustworthy said this
afternoon that he hoped the management
of the mill had no serious intention of
coming to Arkansas for the purpose of
pulling it off, but that If they should he
would prosecute them TO the fullest ex-
tent of the law. The impression prevails
throughout this community that the fight
dent of the popular feeling against the
prize ring. Others, however think 1t will
take place at Dallas and preparations for
the entertainments of the crowds are still
going on at that place. They believe
ruse has been resorted to stop opposition
in Texas, and that the fight managers in
tend to tie up Gov. Culberson's hands by
an injunction at the last moment.

your city to finish his training. l am at
liberty to consider offers from those Of
fering the largest Inducements
Aside from whatever may be offered
from here in a financial way, the very
best inducement that can be held out is
the bracing climate and good results that
can be obtained there in contradistinc-
ton to the effects produced by the phys
ically enervating atmosphere of a tropi-
cal climate.

Harmon said this morning that the Uni
ted States district attorneys in the south
western states and territories had rem
lions and advice, which he fully appreci-
ated, as to the state laws affecting prize
fighting 1t was absolutely certain, he
said, that the observation-disclosures fight
would not occur in the federal Reservation

state matter over which the government
