confrontS the situation, there will be no
contest between Corbett and Fitzsim-

Today there was a conference between
Dan Stuart, Joe Vendig and the lighters

Leatherman is to be, taken before the SUI
and the tribunal of last appeal may con-
sumo several days in handing down a
final hearing. In view of this fact and
anticipating a favorable decision, Dan
Stuart called the parties in interest to-
gether and stated the conditions. Stuart
wanted a postponement until November
ID. He argued that even if the court of
final resort sustained the decision of the
chancellor, it would take that long to
restore confidence and get the crowd to
Hot Springs.
Brady, for Corbett, was willing. Julian

A Loaded Bomb.
Governor Clarke was expected to throw
q bomb today with sensational effects.
1t has been broadly intimated that he
has one loaded and primed, ready to
hurl, and the general opinion was that
it would be a military missile. He has
not yet thrown it, however, and the in
dications now are that he has concluded
to be little more careful about hand
ling it than was supposed two or three
days ago. He has concluded to await a
deliverance from the supreme court upon
a review of Chancellor Leatherman's de-
cision.
1t is given out that Julian will have
F'itzsimmons in Dallas on the 21st, where
his contract stipulates the fight shall
occur. and claim the forfeit of $500.
Any amount of disgust and disappoint-
ment is visible on all sides over the turn
affairs have taken.
