! be here?" he said. docs it look as if
his failure to be here can be attributed
| to misadventure? Let the people read
| the facts and judge. AS for ourselves,
| let it be announced that in accordance
| with the articles OF agreement, L stand
ready to produce Corbett in the city OF
Hot Springs at ans time between to-
night and midnight of tomorrow, pre-
pared to meet any contestant for the
| worlds heavyweight championship
| Corbett's departure from his training
! quarters at Spring Lake was masked
| both by mystery and celerity. He was
training in the morning as usual, when
visitors went out in the afternoon ne
had vanished. 1t was said that he had
! given the Deputy Sheriff who had him
| in charge the slip, and Brady partially
| confined this when he said that his
! man was not in the custody of the law
! tonight and would be equally free to-
morrow. Corbett could not have come
| into the city or been Smuggled into any
OF the hotels without being recognized,
unless he was in disguise, and he has a
particular aversion to subterfugeS.
The most plausible explanation of his
wherea bouts tonight is that he is a
| guest at one of the numerous families
| in the ariStOcratic section of the city,
| the heads of which are known TO be in
sympathy with the mill being brought
off without further interference of the
Executive.
LITTLE ROCK, Oct. 30.-Governor
Clarke at ) o'clock this AFTERNOON
| cCuntermanded the order sending the
militia to Hot Springs. This was be-
cause Attorney General KinsWorthy
teiephoned the Governor from Hot
! Springs to the effect that Corbett
would be tried before a Justice OF the
! Peace in Hot Springs, and after that
| has consented to come to Little Rock
| for trial before Chancellor Martin.
| Chancellor Martin to-day issued a war
rant for the arrest of Sheriff HOupt in
! Arkadelphia, charging him with con-
spiracy. Houpt left Hot Springs to
arrest Fitzsimmons before the Gov
/ ernor'S emiSsarieS could set at the
lanky Australian.
TEXARKANA (Ark.), Oct. 30.-Rob-
| ert titzsimlnons will not be able, granting
that he has always been willing, to make
good his boast OF being in Hot springs on
| October 3Ist 10 fight Corbett ii civil or
military authorities did NOS interfere.
! The Australian pugilist, accompanied by
| Manager Julian and others, had no sooner
! crossed the line which divides Texas and
! Arkansas than officers of Arkansas who
| had been on the train served a warrant OF
arrest on him. There was an exciting
! clash on the train between sheriff Houpt
of Garland County and Sheriff billiard OF
| Miller County. in which this city is stu
atea.
After Fitzsimnons had been made a
! prisoner for the purpose OF ef1ecting his
removal in legal manner TO the capital,
! his captors lett the Iron Mountain train at
Fuller, twenty miles from this city. ana
doubled upon their tracks so as TO take
another train tomorrow morning from
! Texarkana for Little Rock via Pine
Bluff.
The carrying out of this plan effectually
stops titzsimmons from appearing in
Hot Springs 10 claim the forfeit
| money" as he has SO often talked about
lately, from his training quarters at
Corpus Christi. When the Iron Noun
tain train carrying EitZsilnmons and
Julian, their wives and the other mem
bers of the party arrived at Marshall,
Tex, several men entered the car where
tho pugilistic party was esconsed. They
/ were officers from Arkansas, but clothed
III no authority to make arrests until
! TeXarkana was reached. Sheriff HOupt
of Garland County was there with
friendly warrants" for the arrest of
! FitZ and Julian on the same line as the
warrants for the Corbett party, the plan
of the Hot Springs people being to have
/ their Sheriff escort t'itZsimmons through
! Arkansas to the present Mecca of sports,
so as to give him an opportunity to keep
his pugllistic engagements by going
! through the Corbett Justice Court per-
/ formance.
But Sheriff billiard of this county was
on the Texas line, and he was on the
train TO enforce his better right to TAX o
the fighter and hold him for the benefit
/ of the Governor. He was aided by Dep
uty Sheriff Howard OF Pulaski County
in which the capital is located, and sev-
eral other deputies from Miller County
10 be used in case OF g fOrcio ole resistance
TO the authority of the law. Deputy
Howard was sent by the pugnacious Ex-
executive OF Arkansas as his trusted lieu
tenant TO guard against any hitch III the
scheme to thwart the tight designs OF the
Hot Springs citizens.
Part OF this city is n Texas and part OF
it is in Arkansas. When the line was
crossed the conteEdlng Sheriffs Of Gar
land and Miller Counties confronted litz-
simmons and proceeded to read their
warrants. Sheriff HI oupt was the first to
begin and claimed the prisoner, but Mill
Ter County's Sheriff sharply ordered him
! TO keep his bands OFT, as he had no
authority. The Little Rock warrants
were sworn to by the Attorney General
as the legal representative of the state.
Upon this fact, as we'll as that Of Sheriff
Houpt being outside his county, Sheriff
billiard and Deputy Howard insisted on
their better right TO EitZslmmons
Sheriff Houpt submitted and proceeded
10 Ii OF Springs.
Fearing some attempt to take his pris-
oner away, and desiring to keep him az
far as possible from Hot Springs. Sheriff
! billiard and party lett Tho train at Fulton
twenty miles north OF here, and arrived
here with t'itzsImm0ns at 7 o'clock to-
night, Julian accompanying them. The
( Sheriff and his prisoner viii take the
morning train on the Cotton Belt line at
7:50 for Little Rock, via Pine Bluff. The
rest Of the FitZsimmons party proceeded
to Hot Springs 10 tell OF the misfortune
| which befell their chief.
