ARDMORE, 1T, Oct. 6.-Tke Corbett-
Fitzsim mons ii sht is coming to the Indian
Territory. OF this there Is not any doubt.
At what point the mill will take place
has not yet fully been determined. The
two places most tavorably mentioned by
the management of the fight are Colbert
station, on the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railway. just across the Texas
line, and Ardmore, the largest town in
the Indian Territory ON the Santa Fe
road.
1t is contest between the katy"
and the Atchiscn to determine which line
shall nave the heavy traffic incident to
the fight. 1t must come under the pat
ronage of the Chickasaw government.
The judicial power of the United States
court in the Indian Territory will be ex-
ercised to prevent it, but the lawyers
concur in the opinion that there is no
law to punish. as all the jurisdiction
congress has vested in any tribunal
over such matters is jurisdiction ex-
pressly conferred. The Chickasaw legis-
lature. which is now IN session, will not
adjourn for about two weeks. Inc

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. 6. -Corbett
and party arrived here this morning at
1880 from New Orleans. During the day
he met five members of the legislature
who were returning from Austin. All
OF them sought introductions. Coroett
greeted them pleasantly and twitted
them loosely regarding the late action
of the legislature. To AN Associated
Press representative he said he felt ex-
ceedingly we'll. His appearance was cor
roborative testimony, for he was very
cheerful and his eyes were bright His
face is full and there is a glow OF health.
Corbett complains that the papers in
New Orleans do him an injustice regard
ing Fitzsimmons stake money: "A few
days before l left New York." said the
cham pion, phil Dryer, the stake
holder, came down to Asbury park and
told me that $500 of Fitzsim mons stake
money had been attached. He said also
that he understood the remaining $500
would also BIZ attached. He also told me
get no stakemoney whatever. Now my
friends have put up $40, 900 for me, and
they are betting 1t against nothing.
submit that would not be acting fairly
with my friends without at least word
of remonstrance. 1t seems to me that
Fitzsimmons simply wantsa loose end OF
the belt. He loses no reputation if de
feat him, and he has a chance, or course,
to win big money. l hope and l believe
that they will be able to pull the fight
off, but it is an assured fact it will not
be in Dallas. Fitzsimmons will appear
there October 31st, and he will get his
$2500-hslf of the forfeit money. Now
after Fitzsimomns gets that $25C0 be can
pocket it and 90 travelling over the coun-
try, gathering in the shekels on advertis-
ing. He is a big winner right there.
What I want is to have the 4eferee ap-
pointed right now and have MIN name
the battle ground. Let the referee have
authority to say to US the moment the
business is fixed, meet me at such
place and fight for the stakes and cham
pionship.' If Fitzsimnons is as anxious
to meet me as ne claims is that not an
excellent way to assure meetlng?'
e 1t seems to me that is fair. l do not
want to name the referee. | am perfectly
willing that Fitzsim mons shall name six
men of known ability and honesty and |
will accept, the man George Siler and

Fitzsimmons, and l don't want him to
get out of the state without meeting"
Brady Will leave tomorrow for Dallas
to confer with Stuart, Vendig and Julian
regarding a place for the meeting. He
says he will agree to any modification of
the articles of agreement that Stuart may
suggest.
CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex, Oct. 6.-Bob
Fitzsim m ons returned late this evening
from a very successful days hunting.
He brought back with him large num-
Der of ducks and other game.
He says he has found this coast very
agreeable, and when he wins the hight
with Corbett he will probably return to
Corpus Christi and invest in some pretty
cottage on the seashore. Fitzsimmons
says that the blow Corbett is making
about his attached stake is another indi-
cation that Pom paoour Jim" does not
want to meet, but he insists that he will
have co, as Stuart and Julian will see
that place is provided.
