and Fitzsimmons will not fight in Ar
kansas. This proposition is settled as
nearly as anything can be settled, that
Is not an accomplished fact, and when
II is added that the pugilists themscl-
YES admit that the game is up. II may
be conceded that the courts and the
Governor have won. II is altogether
safe To say that both Corbett and his
rival would be glad to be anywhere out
OF this State, under u promise never to
revisit IL.
Fitzsimmons, Corbett, Brady and Ju-
lian are tonight asleep In the same ho-
tel, guarded by u Deputy Sheriff. The
judiciary has not only maintained it's
hold upon the pugiliStic contingent but
has added fresh mesl the web in
which they are cntan ana Cover

Clay than ever. sat In his Office and in
Il smiling way declares that he has
only began his campaign and that his
strongest cards are still in reserve.
The chief events of the day were the
arrival Of Corbctt and his party from
Hot Springs. the peace warrant pro-
ceedinSS IN the Circuit and Chanccry
courts and. last and most important of
all. the issuance by Chancellor Martin
of sweeping omnibus Injunction re-
straininE pretty nearly everybody in
Arkansas from having any part i'm Il
light AT Hot Springs or elsewhere i'm the
state of Arkansas. II is this legal doe
umcnt which has destroyed the last
hope of the fight promoters and caused
the principals tand their hackers TO
throw up their hands and admit them
selves beStcd
The pucilists and their friends had
discounted about every other possibility
but the injunction was the one thing
| they had not thought of. 1t was not
alone unexpected, but II was stunning

that Arkansas was no longer dchatablc
ground and that IL Corbett ana ritz-

I'hc recognition of this fact at once
set the matchmakcrs at work arrcsh

that II the pugilists can make their

10 o'clock this morning from Hot
Springs. They registered ut tue Capi-

dinner time.

than their actions. Corbctt. who hnd
entered the dining-room some time he
