Inst Moment and MIL TO He Had
I" Dallas After AII-rrepnrations
In Two states.

ST LOUIS, MO-, October l0--A special
10 the Chronicle from IAttle Rock. Ark,
says that in an interview this morning
Governor Clark said: Neither Corbett
nor Fitzsimmons has yet said. so far as
| have heard. that the mill was TO take
place in this or In any other State. and
as they Will evidently be the chics at
traction in the coming exhibition, prefer
to wait until something more tangible
than talk develops before say lust
what 1 Will do should the fight attempt
to be settled In Arkansas. In other
words. Will not cross the bridge until
I get to it.
The impression has gone OUT that Hot
Springs has been selected as being tho
best place for the exhibition. and by
common rumor the officers down there.
including the Mayor and City Attorney,
are anxious to secure the mill, but I
hardly believe all | hear. one thing.
however, l shall not need further au-
thority than that at present on the
statute-books to prevent people from
coming into the State for purposes that
are prohibited by every State in the
Union'
Attorney General Trustworthy said this
afternoon that he hoped the management
Of the mill had no serious intention OF
coming toNArkansas for the purpose or
pulling 1t OFF. but that II they should ha
would prosecute them To the full extent
of the law.
The impression prevails throughout this
community that the fight will take. place
at Hot Springs, in spite OF the popular
feeling against the priZe-ring. Others,
however, think that 1t will take place at
Dallas, and say that preparations for tho
entertainment of the crowds are stlll
going on at that place. They believe a
ruse has been resorted to I'm order to
stop opposition In Texas, and that tho
fight managers intend TO tie up Governor
culberson's hands by an injunction at the
last moment.

CORBETT'S TRAINING.
SAN ANTONIO. TEN, october 10
Corbett began his training at an early
hour this morning, all the members OF
his party having returned from Austin
last night. Ii is their opinion that ths
grand jury Is seeking TO hnJ an indict-
ment against Corbett, FitZsimmons. ami
Stuart. but they will not divulge the ma
ture of the questions asked them.
COrbett received word this morning that
HcC Springs had been decided upon as
the place for pulling off the fight. He
stated that he h. glad that the location OF

ing him. He says that the referee will be

Corbett will continue his training here,
and will not leave for Hot Springs until
a day or two before the fight comes
off.
FITZ EXPECTED.
Corbett has already been here, and
originally intended to DO his training at
