not to allow him to reach here. Attor-
ney General Trustworthy remained in
this city for the purpose of having the
Australian arrested here in the event
that he should slip through Texarkana
without being apprehended. 1t is his
intention to have Fitzsimmons placed
under asheavy bond to keep the peace,
and thus prevent the fight.
Messrs. Brady and Vendig are
''scarce as hens teeth" and have moth
ing to say, but they are here to stay a
few: days yet. II Fitzsimmons succeeds
in eyading the vigilance of the Texar-
Kama sheriff and ever lands in Hot
Springs, there will undoubtedly be a
fight Attorney General Trustworthy,
who caused the warrant for Fitzsim-
mons arrest and placed it in the hands
of Sheriff billiard at Texarkana, is con-
fident that he will succeed in prevent
ing the pugilists from meeting, but a
game is being played by local wire
workers which promises to take all Of
the wind out Of the attorney general s
sails.
Scheme They May Work.
Sheriff Houpt and a deputy of this
county. have left here, armed with a
warrant for Fitzsimmons. It is their
purpose to meet Ntzsimmons in Texas,
return with him, and as soon as the
train passes over the line, to place him
under arrest and bring him on to Hot
Springs, thus taking him : out of the
state authorities hands completely
When they arrive here Fitzsimmons is
to be taken before a magistrate and if
the facts will justify, be placed under a
peace bond Then it is believed
by some here that Fitzsimmons will re-
fuse to come into the state when he
learns that a warrant is out for him, but
the scheme explained as above, it is
thought, will get him here. Once here,
and in the hands of the local authorities,
it is said the '.mill" will surely take
place. This is the status of affairs now,
but there is no telling what new turn
may take place before night.
Sports on Hand.
In response to tip sent out Saturday
night to the various sporting headquar-
tiers all over the country, each incoming
train is crowded with sports and others
who expect to see fight. IN
Corbett is in active training at his
Spring Lake quarters, and is pronounced
to be in the pink of condition.
NOTHING CAN PREVENT THE FIGHT.
That the Allegation of One Hot Springs
Dispatch.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3O.-A special to
The Republic from Hot Springs, Ark,
SAYS: Attorney General Trustworthy
was surprised when informed that a
warrant had been placed in the hands
of Sheriff Houpt of this county, for Cor
belts arrest and that it had been served,
and that he was in the custody Of dep
uty at his training quarters. The action
of the attorney general, when asked for
the champions dismissal by Judge
Kirk, upon the case which had been
remanded by the supreme court, was
anticipated, and as soon as Corbett was
dismissed, warrant charging him with
conspiring to create a breach Of the
peace was issued, and Immediately
served and he wes.placed under arrest
by the sheriff.
Forestalled the Attorney General.
The action was taken to forestall the
attorney general, who intended to have
him re-arrested and the case transferred
byachange of venue to Fayetteville,
Washington county. II the same course
is pursued as to Fitzsimmons by the
local authorities, which in Ill probabil-
ityswill be done, no power on earth can
PREVENT the fight. The pugilisis will
simply give bond III q reasonable
amount to keep the peace and proceed
