''and that is what talks. Now, what

Julian Accepts.
When the proposition to fight at
once was first submitted to Manager
Julian he was not inclined to commit
himself. A committee Of newspaper
| men who had been authorized by Man
aser Brady to submit the proposition
to Julian and FitZsimmons found the
| former in his room alone, the. Austral-
ian being absent. Julian was informed
| Of Gov. Clarke's promise to release
| the men from bonds. but was very sNs-.
picious and not inclined to believe the
| story.
"You don't know the governor" he
said, "but do know him, and I don't
want any Jail experiences = not in.

Brady's proposal to bring off. the.
| fight was then submitted and the man
ager was asked fatty If he would
fight, all legal complications being re-
moved. He attempted to defer his
answer, but being pressed hard. final
ly said he would accept the conditions.
He was asked if he would put up his
$4,000 tonight, and replied that he
could not get before tomorrow. He
was emphatic in his statement, how
ever, that he would have it then and
be ready for the battle. A messenger
from Gov. Clarke arrived soon after

ecutive had made to Brady, and JUL

of $4,000 is paid. He finally admitted
that governors and sheriffs and the
like were making him nervous, and
declared that he did not want to take

law.
This leaves the situation thus:
