THEY ARE TO Be INDICTED,
Texas Authorities After the
Big Fighters for Con-
Spiracy.
Brady Thinks the Battle Can Be
Arranged In Arkansas or
New Mexico.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. S.-Sheriff
John P. Campbell of this county to-day
received from the Sheriff of Travis
County subpenaes for Jim DAILY, Billy
Delaney, Joe Corbett, John Donaldson
and John McVey, all members of Cor
belts training-party, ordering them to
appear before the District Court Grand
Jury at Austin tomorrow as witnesses.
The attachments were served late this
evening ana all the party leave for Austin
tomorrow. This new turn of affairs
caused sensation at the Corbett training
quarters and much speculation was in
dulged III as to the object of the Austin
court. The only members of the p rty
not subpenaed are Jim Corbett and Steve
O'Donnell and this fact makes it appear
that the Grand Jury is seeking to bring an
indictment again st the champion and
O'Donnel.
When asked by United States Press re-
porter what he thought of the action of
the Austin court Corbett said: ~ cannot
imagine what they want with the trainers
as witnes ses. We have not violated any
law. l regret that they must go to Aus
TIN, as 1t will set me back in my training,
The only possible charge that the Grand
Jury can bring against me is that
am party to conspiracy
to bring off the fight with Fitzsim-
mons. l received a telegram from Brady
to-day, stating that the prospects were that
the fight would take place at Hot Springs,
Ark, or in New Mexico, but don't think
it possible that the fight can be pulled off
at any place in Arkansas, as the Governor
has stated that there can be no fight in the
State"
1t was learned tonight that the Grand
Jury OF the Travis County District Court
will seek to secure indictments against
Corbett, FitZsimmons and Stuart on the
following authority:
Article 900, title l, chapter I, of the Texas
Penal Code provides that conspiracy entered
into in this State forthe purpose of committing
any felony in any of the States or Territories of
the United States, or In any foreign terri tory
shall be punished in the same manner as If the
ofense in this State. The penalty for such con-
spiracy by the Texas criminal code is confine-
ment in the penitentiary for not less than two
nor more than five years

A WHEEL THAT'S TO COME,
The Bicycle Built for Nine That
Will Be Paced by the
Lightning.
1t Won't Do Anything to the Great
Tandem and Quad 1885,
Mile Records.

The bicycle upon its birth in the me-
chanical world was justly considered to be
wonders pace-setter, pretty thing of
steel and wheel, a plaything, a toy, and
the most industrious plaything and the
most useful toy in the world. Then the
tandem-that bicycle built for two, with
its pace set to musc-made its appearance
and straightway the biker and bikess
could pedal in unison. After this came

STANFORD SENIORS WON,
Experience Told In the Game
With the Juniors on the
GridirOn.
Numerous Fumbles Aided In a
Crushing Defeat for the
Men OF '97.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL. Oct
Sin the game this afternoon between
the senior and junior class teams the
seniors Won by score of 16 to 0. The
game was the best seen on the Stanford
field this year. The lineup of the teams
was as follows: Seniors-Center, McDon-
nell; guards, Field and Levers; tackles
Cochran and Campbell; ends, Spaldine
and McLaine; quarter, Code; halls, Rev.
nolds and Frankenheimer; fullback. Harry
Reynolds.
Juniors-Center, Williams; guards, Flick
ert and Young; tackles, Rice and James:
ends. Jost and Straight; quarter, Arnold :
halls, Kaufman and Thomas; fullback
Weldon.
Two touchdowns were made in the first
half and one in the last. Cochran made
the hrst touchdown, but failed to kick
goal. Spalding made the second touch
down by clean run around the end. while
McLaine on the juniors tumble made the
last touchdown.
A special feature of the game was the
remarkable playing Of Fickert at guard.
He did fine ia ckling throughout. Several
new men showed up finely. Young at
guard, Arnold at quarter and Straight
and Jost did good work. Both fulIbacks
punted well. Reynolds made the star run
OF the game, making twenty-five wards
after catching a punt. For the seniors the
Reynolds brothers did great line-buckinp
Spalding played an admirable end and
Frankenheimer tackled in good shape.
Williams proved good man at center
and broke through repeatedly, but tae

is building "nonaplet," he calls 1t, a
bicycle built for nine. This machine will
be a world beater. Nothing can pace it,
and even the lightning must hustle or be
distanced. The phenomenon will have a
30-inch wheel, will weigh 180 pounds and
its gear will be 225. Think of the speed a
gear of 225 will make when 90-gear rolls
mile in 1 minute and 35 seconds, or
about 45L feet per second. What will be
the pace of the ''nonapletp with nine
young athletes whirling the big rear
sprocket almost four times the diameter of
that on the ordinary bike2 They won't do
anything to that :35 record.
When the Delmas-Smith-Jo Jones' Davis
"quad" team made their best time half q
second better than the fast horse, after
making their mile, they could not stop
their machine. At the awful speed they
dared not attempt to back-pedal, for fear
of being hurled from the seat and dashed
to. pieces, and the. machine ran several
miles along the straight, level road. When
the riders alighted from their perilous
saddles their faces were blanched the hue
of death, so great had been the nervous
strain and the fear of an accident-always
imminent-which would pitch them to de-
struction. All four of the strong, skillful
wheelmen were so Frustrated that they did
not attempt to ride for weeks.
The mind grows weary trying to con-
ceive of the physical endurance of the
nine who will pump that 225-gear machine
ahead and dizzy getting on to'' the
conception of the rifle-shell velocity of
that racer of aluminium. Steel will not be
in it with the bike to come.
Several experts estimate the "nonaplet"
to be capable of mile in twenty seconds
or in ten seconds providing the riders
can get out a reasonable life-insurance or
accident policy, or if respiration is posi-
BILE during such speed through the air.
Possibly the bicyclist to come will be
geared to his wheel in every particular and
the atmospheric as well as the other condi-
tions overcome.

O0RBETT-P -PITzsIMMONs FIGHT,
The Battle Not Thought Likely to
Come Of in Nevada.

Inc Babtie NOT Thought Likely to
Come OFF in Nevada.
The published statement to the effect
that the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight will
take place in Nevada, and that Police Com
missioner Nose Gunst is at the head of q
syndicate to bring this about, does not re-
ceive the least credence among the sport
ing element III thi City. Gunst laughs at
the statement, and denies that he mas any,
thing. to do with any syndicate, or is in the
least interested in the coming fight He
says that SO far as he is concerned he has
not had anything TO do with the prize ring
since Jack Dempsey's retirement He was
only interested in the Nonpareil because
they went to the same school together.
At Corbetts saloon the telegram about
the fight taking place in the sagebrush is
laughed at. Jim's brothers still believe
the fight win take place in Texas. as it
would be cheaper under the new law to
pay fine of $1,000 than to go hunting for
some other place less known Of
a number of the local sports state that
Nevada would be just the place for the big
battle, as fully 1900 people would attend
the event from all points west OF st. Louis.

Sacramento Contests.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Oct SIN the
sparring contests which took place this
evening at the Sacramento Athletic Club
the honors, after hard knocks, remained
at home, the San Francisco men be-
ing bested in both events. In the
match between Payne and Muller the
former was declared a winner, and
protest was entered by Muller's
handler, Mr.. Reno, who claimed that his
contract was made under the rules of the
National Amateur Association, and in
consequence he refused to allow his man
to fight the deciding round called for by
the judges. They in consequence gave the
decision to Payne not but that both men
were more than willing to continue, and
Muller was strongly tempted to "slug" his
| manager because he refused to allow the
match to proceed.
points between J. H. Mcmahon of the San
| Francisco Athletic Club and l. Mooser of
| the Sacramento Athletic Club, the former
entering the ring at 119 pounds and the
| latter being one-quarter of a pound lighter.
Mooser did nearly all the leading, but Nc
Mahon's counters were numerous and
powerful.
At the conclusion Of the fourth round
the judges demanded an extra round. In
the deciding clash McMahon used only his
LETT hand, and at the conclusion of the
contest it was discovered that the piucky
lads right had been disabled in the first
round, and he, fought through without
| notifying even his handlers of the fact.
! The contest between Payne and Muller
was as pretty display of science as has
ever been witnessed in the club-ooms, both
contestants being out for blood and very
evenly matched. Payne had the bes. of
the first round, and Muller captured the
second. The third was Payne's by small
majority and the fourth was awarded to
Muller on the same grounds

READY TO SHOOT DUCKS.
Market Men Will Fight the New Game
Law


Deputy Fish and Game Commissioner
J. H. Davis has reported to the Commits
sioners that he recently arrested two men
at Newman, near Tracy, for shooting
ducks before the opening of the season.
They were fined $25 each. There would be
many more arrests in different parts of the
State for the same offense if the country
game wardens performed their duty. The
commission has very few regular depu-
ties, and their services are demanded all
over the State. The fact that the City
markets carry no game under their coun-
ters is fairly good evidence that but very
little game is being smuggled into the
City.
Under the new law the closed season for
ducks ends on the 18th inst, but it also
provides that no water fowl can be sold
until the 10Th of November. This is to
prevent the market hunters from destroy
ing the game before the sportsmen have q
chance for few shots. There is move
ment among the restaurant-keepers and
market men of this City to question the
legality of this law and bring the matter
before the courts on test case.

HOLLISTER, CAL, Oct. 8.-The second
day OF the sixth annual fair opened with
increased attendance. In the 2:2O pace,
purse $500, rank jobbery was attempted,
Ella w losing the first heat to San
Luisito, with sure thing for the race.
The judges could not see the scheme until
the fourth heat when Treanor was taken
down and Williams put up behind San
Luisito; but the job went through all
right although the talent was not badly
bitten. San Luisito took the first heat in
2:241l, Ella W second, third and fourth in
2:22, 2:19H and 2:17.
The two-twenty trot, purse $500, was won

Bookmaker Joe Rose backed Ransom, who
started in the last race at 21 to l, and the odds
against the horse later went back to 5. Joe
did not like the drift of the betting, and COM
planned to the judges that he did not think
the horse was out to win. The odds soon after
took tumble, 315 to l being the general price
at post time. He ran a fair race, but was in
too fast company.
A forfeit has been posted in the hands of q
stakeholder for two days to consnmmate q
match race between Claudius and Del Norte at
one mile and q furlong. BY the terms of the
agreement, Claudius is to carry 108 pounds
and Del Norte 108 pounds, the same weights as
carried in last Saturdays race, when the for
mer horse proved the victor. Abe Stein is
furnishing the coin for the Del Norte end
wagering $4,000 against $2250 put up by Henry
Edelmann, Flynn to ride Claudius and Dona-
hue to pilot the brown horse. Both horses
meet to-day at mile, and the outcome will
probably decide the fate of the match.
The third event ON the card yesterday
was five-furlong dash for non-winners in
1895, to be ridden by maiden Jockeys.
These sort of races are novelty and fur
nish some very amusing sport-particu-
larry for the band of stable boys that perch
on the paddock fence as the horses start
for the post, and pass criticisms on the
aspiring knights of the pigskin. There
were seven starters in yesterdays race,
and Dick O'Mailey with Raymond up had
first call in the betting at to l. The odds
about all the others were long. ranging
from to % to l. Silver Lip, gelding in
Mike Donovan's string, got overanxious
at the post, and getting beyond w. Smith
control, clrcled the track couple of times.
he was quite heavily backed, but did not
show surprising amount of speed. APP
parently Starter Ferguson did not intend
to waste any time in teaching the young
idea how to shoot, for he dropped his flag to
catch-as-catch- can start. Gus Wilson,
who one day last winter came very near
landing Volt winner at Is to 1, got Red
Rose, a Is to shot, away in front, and she
lasted long enough to beat the poorly
handled Dick O'Malley out a head. Men
docino was close up third. The fortunate
rider was given reception by his COM
panlons on his return to the paddock, but
the ''aiso rams" came in for an unmerciful
guying.
The balance of the events on the card
passed off without incident worthy of
note, three favorites and a second choice
taking purses.
In the opening race, for maiden two
year-olds, five furlongs, Marigold colt led
the to 2 favorite. Treachery, into the

KENTUCKY'S RACING DAY.
Opening of the Fall Meeting of
the Trotting Breeders AS
SOCiatiOn.
OAKLAND BAR0N'S VICTORY
The Fleet Youngster Won the
Great State Futurity
Struggle.

LEXINGTON, KY, Oct 8.-There never
was brighter day in the history of bar
ness-racing in Kentucky than this, the
opening of the twenty third annual fall
meeting of the Kentucky Trotting-h g-horse
the day was the Kentucky futurity for
three-year-old trotters, the first money of
which amounted to $17,250; the second
horse to pull down $4,000. the third $1,000,
and the nominator of the dam of the win
ner another $1,000.
Seven of the pick of the years young
sters scored for the word, the talent taking
black flly Shadow. Major McDowell's s
lmpetuous carried considerable money,
and was probably second choice up to the
second heat of the race. Oakland Baron,
the winner of the event, was not considered
for the occasion, and last night and early
this morning sold with Larabie, last in the
first heat; the judges decided that Katrina
Bell and Oakland Baron had finished on
even terms, and decided it dead heat.
In the second heat the favorite, Shadow,
got off first, but Oakland Baron took up
the lead after the quarter was reached,
Impetuous, coming in for second position.
Oakland Baron finished first by five lengths,
Impetuous second and Scourine third.
In the third heat Milan again sent Oak
land Baron out, winning all the way by
five lengths, Scourine second and Impetu-
ous third.
In the fourth and final heat Oakland
Baron again led all the way, leading Scour-
inc under the wire by two lengths, Boreal
third. There were few persons who did
not believe Oakland Baron won the first
heat.
The other good race on the card was the
Tennessee derby for 2:1l PAGERS, worth
$4,000. Star Pointer was strong favorite
and won in three straight heats after drop
ping the first to Frank Agan.
