CAN'T FIGHT IN NEW ORLEANS.
A Report That the Fight Would Take
Place There Absurd


New ORLEANS. Oct "A telegram
received here yesterday stated that GER
tain railroads running into this city had
their agents in the north sending out re-
ports to the effect that the Corbett- Fitz-
simmons fight would take place in New
Orleans, but these reports lacked con-
tirmation from this end. In fact, in the
face of the recent decision of the su-
preme court in the Olympic case it
seems even absurd.
Gov. Foster, who was in the city today,
was asked what he would do if an az
tempt was made 10 bring, off the fight in
this city or the state sIf all the power
of the state can prevent it, it shall GER
tainly be brought into requisition, if
necessary" he replied.
Attorney General Cunningham said
he would get out an inj motion so quick
that the proprietors would not know
what struck them.
