THE PRIZE FIGHT.
LITTLE ROCK OPERA HOUSE Sc
CURED.
Wanted ostensibly for Training"
Means a Fight in Private,
Perhaps.

~
gram from VIM. A. Brady under
date of Arlington, Hot Springs,
Ark, asking the use of the opera
house at Little Rock for this after
noon for training purposes behind
closed doors. Walker granted the
request and says he thinks that
this is a scheme to pull the fight
off in the opera house this after
noon in private.
CoRBETT IN LITTLE ROCK.
LITTLE Rock, Nov. LIN com.
pany with Manager Brady and his
trainers, McVey, Delaney and DON
aldson, Corbett arrived at Little
Rock this morning. Corbett talked
freely about the fight. "Of course"
he said, 81 don't know what the
outcome of these legal proceedings
will be, but want the thing settled
one way or the other mighty soon.
1 am getting tired of all this
monkey business. 1 am in readi-
ness to fight now and always have
been. / have asked nothing I'M
reasonable of Fitzsimmons and 1
honestly thing he is keeping away
from me. don't know what else
to make of his action"
When asked as to the possibility
of any trouble between him and
Fitzsimmons at Little Rock, Cor
bett said:
"Well, something of that kind
may happen, but If it does, Fitz.
simmons will have to start it. L
won't begin it. / want to say right
now, il that fellow does begin any
funny work, he is going to get
licked, and licked good and hard"
At che depot crowd of 1000
people was waiting to see the
champion, and as he stepped from
the train in his long overcoat, with
his crimson sweater showing up
the pallor OF his cheeks induced by
his training, he could scarcely
move for the crowd.
He finally managed to pillow his
way through to a carriage which
was in waiting, and was carrie d
away to the Capitol hotel where
he retired at once to his room to
await the court proceedings in the
afternoon.
FITz SAYS, NO FIGHT.
LITTLE Rock, Nov. mo mat
ter what the result of the proceed
ings may be this afternoon the
chances are now one hundred to
one there will be no fight between
Corbett and Fitzsimmons.
The latter made a statement to-
day to correspondent Of the As
ISOLATED Press which virtually dis
poses of the matter. He said posi-.
lively: "There will be no fight in
Arkansas. l am done with the
Florida Athletic club and have no
use for the citizens of Hot Springs.
1 tell you there will be no fight in
Arkansas"
As he finished, Julian said: ave
are going to Hot Springs when we
get through here, but we will
have nothing to do with the fight
which Florida Athletic club, citi-
zens Hot Springs, Brady, Corbett
and the rest OF that gang have
anything to do with"

A Christmas Legend From the Alps.

Here and there prevails the strange
belief that horses and cattle speak in
human language or the night preced-
ing Christmas day. IL is sin to lis
ten TO what the animals say, or in amy
way to try TO hear them. Not To be-
lieve that they talk is also sin.
An Alpine story is told ola farmers
servant who did not believe that the
cattle could speak, and, to make sure
he hid in his masters stable on Christ
mas eve and listened. When the clock
struck II, he was surprised at what he
heard.

day week." said one horse.

Then in the whirling cloud Of snow
Ellis had remounted, shouted again a
