Threatened TO Ride Julian Out of Town
on Rail.
Hot SPRINGS, Ark, Oct 22-The
Hot Springs hotel owner, the holder of
street railway stock, the merchant and
the boy who sells newspapers on the
street is excoriating Robert Fitzsim-
mons for his refusal to comply with
Corbett's terms. There are some threats
afoat of riding Martin Julian, Fitzsim-
mons manager, out of town on a rail-
The populace is up in arms and Julian
is clinging close to the confines of his
room. The impression prevails in some
quarters that Fitzsimmons may per-
sonally repudiate Julian's actions and
fight. The proposition to have Maher
take Fitzsimmons' corner against Cor
bett and to replace Maher with Choyn-
ski against O'Donnell is also said to be
losing weight. Aside from this the club
declares it's hands washed of the whole
matter.

Present Dry Spell the Most Prolonged
on Record.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Reports re-
ceived at the weather bureau indicate
that the present drought is one of the
severest, most prolonged and general
known in the United States since the
bureaus organization. There are few
places which show an exception to the
general condition, but in no large Sec
ton of the country, unless, perhaps, in
the Northwest and far West, does there
appear to have been soaking rain for
the past two months or more. Where
there has been exceptional precipitation
it has been confined to small areas. In
some parts of the country the drought
began in the latter part of July, but in
most of the sections it did not become
markedly pronounced until in August.

Seriously Injured by Taking a Header
From His Wheel.
CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-Captain Adrian
G. Arson Of the Chicago baseball club,
had very narrow escape from being
killed during the evening. In company
with his daughter and a friend he was
riding bicycle down Michigan avenue
when he was challenged by the two for
a race. At Sixteenth street the Illinois
Central railroad tracks cross the avenue
and when Anson's bicycle struck the
rails it swerved and started straight for
the curbstone. In his effort to save
himself, the captain upset the machine
and landed squarely on the side of his
face. 1t required an hour and half Of
hard work to bring him back to con-
seriousness. His face was badly cut and
his body terribly bruised on the left side.

Corbett Threatens to Visit Bob
and "Send Him to the
Hospital"

Hot SPRINGS, Ark, Oct. 22.-Unless
Robert Fitzsimmons recants and,
through his manager, Martin Julian,
accepts the extraordinary condition
which confronts the fight situation mere
there will be no contest between Cor
bett and Fitzsimmons unless it be al
impromptu one, shorn of purse offer
ings, ring rules, referee and seconCs;
for Corbett says that unless Fitzsim-
mons acts the man and accommodates
himself to come here "he will send him
to the hospital" the first time he meets
him and that he will go quite way out
of his scheduled theatrical route to meet
the attenuated Cornishman.
Julian Was Contrary.
There was a conference during the
day between Dan Stuart, Joe Vendig
and the fighters, the latter by proxies,
Brady representing Corbett and Martin
Julian appearing for Fitzsimmons. The
ruling of Chancellor Leatherman is to
be taken before the supreme court by the
attorney general and the tribunal OF
last appeal may consume several days
in handing down final decision. In
view of this fact and anticipating a
favorable decision Dan Stuart called the
parties interested together and stated
the conditions. Mr.. Stuart wanted a
postponement until Nov 10. He ar
gued that even if the court of final re-
sort sustained the decision of the chan
cellor it would take that long
To Restore Confidence
and get the crowd to Hot Springs.
Brady for Corbett was willing. Julian
was not. Despite the fact that Corbett
went into training week before his
prospective opponent Julian contended
that his man was ''too fine'' and that to
train for several days after the original
time would mitigate against the phys
cal condition of Fitzsimmons. The
proposition was then made to have the
men fight in private for the main stake,
$4,000 side. Here Stuart interjected
an offer of an added $4,000. Brady
was again willing, but Julian de-
INJURED. AS matters stand at this
moment, to use the words of Howard
B. Hackett, the highest pugiEstic
authority in America, Corbett wants to
fight, Fitz does not.

Glove Contests Not Prohibited.

Hot SPRINGS, Ark, Oct. 2l.-Judge
Leatherman has released Corbett on a
writ of habeas corpus. The case ter
minated just as everybody here ex-
pected it would. Even those who are
bitterly opposed to the contemplated
glove contest coming off in Hot Springs
or any other section of Arkansas felt
that where there seemed to be such a
slight foundation for operation under
the law, when it came to a test de-
cision would be forthcoming that would
be unsatisfactory to them. Governor
Clarke was apparently the first to dis
cover that there was no statutory pro-
hibition to prize fighting or glove con-
tests; that the act of 1891 had not passed
the house as amended by the senate;
that instead of the bill as amended pass
ing as constitutionally provided, by roll
call, it simply passed by a viva voce
vote, hence, was not legally passed.
