MIGHT MEET IN MEXICO.
Concession Granted for nm Athletic
and BULL EfShiinc Exhibition

and Bull Fighting Exhibition.
Charles Campbell and several other par
ties in San Antonio, among them a Mexican
official. have made a proposition to Dan
Stuart to get concession in Mexico to pull
off the fights there.
Stuart has agreed if absolute immunity
from interference is guaranteed. The gen.
tlemen, who have very high and influential
connections in Mexican official life, have
received kilograms announcing that the
states Of Chihuahua and Coakuila and Ia
mauiras had granted CONCESSIONS to pull
off general athletic and bul. fighting ex-
hibition" in those states October 81.
Which, If any, of these concessions will
be used will not be determined for several
days. If the Chihuahua should be used
the fight will come off at Juarez, which is
just across the river from Ell Paso. Laredo
ard Diaz are the towns in the other two
states.
Each town will be asked to contribute
toward the expense, and the amount of the
contributions will be an element In selecting
the place. The concessions carry with them
an absolute guarantee of non-interference.
There is bull ring at each place capable
Of seating from $4,000 to 10000 people.
These will have to be repaired, and the
railroads touching these points have volun-
teered to defray the expenses of repairing
them.
The parties who have received the con-
cessions are under contract to turn them
ever to Dan Stuart free of cost. They are
to get their remuneration from the bull
fights. Already they have contracts with
the famous troup Of toreadors in Mexico.
and have received six bulls, which are said
to be the most ferocious animals in the
country.
Little Chance in Indian Territory.
Judge Ki1gcre Of the Indian territory
says: 81 am against prize-fighting under
any and all circumstances, and will do
anything in my power to prevent the mill
taking place in the Choctaw nation south
ern district"
Marshal stoll says: It am opposed to the
fight"
There is ample authority under the GRIM
inal laws in force here to prevent the mill
taking place in the Chickasaw nation. and
the fight will not be permitted to take
place in the southern district
Lem Burruss of Stonewall, the newly ap-
pointed national secretary of the Chicka-
saw nation, says that the members of the
Chickasaw legislature, now In session, are
Gov Culberson of Texas signed the anti
prize fight bill yesterday afternoon.
Gov. Gardner's Opposition.
The Choctaws are sanguine that the coun-
Gil, which meets at Tuskahoma next Mon
day, will pass an anti-prize fight bill SIM
liar to the one passed by the Texas legisla-
ture Governor Gardner is a full-blood
Choctaw Indian, and his opposition to the
fight will rival even that of Governor Gull
berson. The statutes of Arkansas of 1884
are in force in this country, and they are
silent SO far as they pertain to prize fight
ing, and there is nothing in the federal
statute books which would warrant the
marshal to take hand to prevent the fight
coming off, The Attorney General has sig
nified his willingness to call out the militia
to the assistance of the Choctaw tribe, If
requested to do So
1t is not believed that the principal chief
has the authority to call upon the United
States government to prevent the fight in
statute books of the Choctaw nation.
Unless the bill is passed there is nothing
here to prevent the mill being pulled off. If
it we're possible for the Florida Athletic
Club to get permission Of the council, then
the federal authorities would not interfere
even if requested to do SO by Governor
Gardner.
A representative of Dan Stuart was at
Atoka yesterday, and the general impress
sion is that an attempt will be made to
secure a place two miles below, on Doggy
creek, for the scene of the contest. 1t is
about three hours run from Dallas, on the
NJ. K. and T. railroad Sufficient lumber
can be had to build an Enclosure.
President Dan Stuart of the Florida Ath-
letic Club wired from Dallas last night as
follows: Everything looks favorable for
arrangements being completed within lwen-
ty-four hours. AT present 10 one knows
which way my face is turned, but when
