HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Oct. 29.-Manager
Joe Vendig and Secretary Wheeler. q,
the Florida Athletic Club, were arrested
this afternoon on warrants charging
them with conspiring to commit breach
OF the peace by aiding and abesting the
Coroett and Fitzsimmons fight. Both
were promptly released on bond. This
's but another shrewd move to head off
the attorney-general, who was prepar
ing to have them arrested upon a sim
liar charge and carried to Little Rock
for trial. He tipped his hand and lost
the game.

here there will be a mill" unless the
governor should run in a squad of
militia, which Is not probable. Corbett

authorities and Is at his training omar
sers hard at work, being "guardedn bv
