take place at the present.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2S.-A special to the
Republic from Austin, Tex, says:
The following is direct from the gov
errors office and is self-explanatory:
Governor Culberson stands firm in
his position against prize fighting. He
intends to suppress it and will exert
every power of his office to that end
He believes that the law as it now
stands is against it and that the de-.
cision of Judge Hurt is Fundamentally
wrong.
His proclamation issued yesterday
does not recede one inch from his de-
clared purpose to enforce the Jaw, re-
gardIess of the Hurt opinion.
He simply begins with mild, pacific
measures before force is used The leg
islature convenes Oct l and the case
against Comptroller Finley, it is expec-
ted, will be set for hearing in the SUI
preme court Oct. 10. Should the de-
cision of the supreme court be against
the state there will remain the law
against disturbances of the peace.
WASHINGTON, Sept 2S.-If the pro-
moters of the Corbett -I7itzsimmons
fight entertain the opinion that in case
the fight is not allowed to come off in
to be disappointed. Attorney General
Harmon has but one opinion in re-
gard to exhibitions of this character,
and, when questioned today, said that
there will be no fighting in Indian ter
ritory or in any territory over which
the United States government has jul
risdiction He did not remember
whether there was any territorial law
against prize fighting, nor did 1t mat
Ii, JJ0c ar 11n
1t became necessary they could find "a
law to fight this case, and it fright be
stated on his authority mat the fight
would not be permitted in any terri
tory in the United States.
HOUSTON, Tex, Sept. 2S.-A special
from Austin to the Post says: The
Florida Athletic club has notified Cor
bett and Fitzsimmons to appear in
Dallas to fight October 10. it being the
latest date possible before a decision
or law could be got through the legis-
lature 10 stop the contest.
Fitzsimmons says he has received no
such notice and would pay no atten-
ton to it if he had, as the agreement
calls for the fight October 81, and he
will either fight on that date or claim
the forfeit.
CHICAGO, SEPT. 2S.-There is a sem
sational story afloat to the effect that
the Florida Athletic club of Dallas has
changed the date of the Corbett-Fitz-
simmons fight to October Z. The OBJ
iect of setting ahead the date is to
get the start of the governor and pull
off the fight before the legislature can
convene.
The whole story, however. lacks con-
firmation. In any event the date can
not be changed without the consent of
both principals. ~,

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2S.-An even
ing paper published an interview with
Theodore Durrant, IN which the prisoner
expressed his disgust - the witnesses
who had testified For the prosecution.
II wonder the fate Of Anan:as ard Sap
phira has not overtaken some OF them,
he IS quoted as saying. 1T is strange to
me that they have not been struck dead
for what they have said against NE on
the stand.
Durrant expresses confidence at his I'LL
innate acquittal. In the opinion of many
members of the local bar, the counsel
for the defense has opened the door for
the admission OF all the evidence in the
Williams case at the present trial for the
murder of Blanche Lamont. During the
examination of Sergeants Reynolds ard
Burke, who We're called by the Defense
questions were asked concerning a shoe
with a brown stain on the sole, found
in the pastors study. The prosecution
may claim the right to demonstrate that
the stain on the shoe might have resulted
from walking around Emanuel church on
the morning that the mutilated body OF
Minnie Williams was found. Evidence
could then be put IN showing the condi-
ton the room where tie murder was
committed. and the possibility of per-
son entering it getting blood on the feet.
The defense will fight any proposition
that has for IT'S object getting before the
jury amy fact regarding the Williams
murder. This district attorney says he
is satisfied he has put in very strong
cause and does not like 10 take the
chance of introducing the testimony that
might be declared irrelevant by the SUI
preme court.

The defense does not seem to rely so
much on the abb now as it did a few
days ago, and their Efforts are now be-

WILL THEY DO lT7
Rumor That Some of Eugene Byars' Attorneys Purpose Appealing to
 Reuben F. Kolb for Pardon.

An AGE HERALD reporter was informed yesterday that Captain Kolb will be ap- pealed to to pardon Eugene Byars, who IS condemned to hang next Friday.
 This scheme, it is said, was decided upon Tharsday night between some of Byars' attorneys, one of whom is an ardent supporter of Captain Kolb's pretensions to the governorship. It is given out that Tn case Captain Kolb signs the pardon notice of this will be served on Sheriff Morrow and demand made for Byars' release.
 This the sheriff will ignore. Then Byars' attorneys will go before one of the judges and sue out a writ of habeas corpus. II this is denied, or if the court rules against them, an appeal will be taken to the su- preme court.
 By this means they hope to gain re. spite, if not full pardon for the condemned man. 4ls ..s-.A
 Sheriff. Morrow stated to an AGE HER. AID reporter yesterday afternoon that he would not recognize any communication on or order coming from Captain Kolb claim- | ing to be an official, and that If Governor Oates does not interfere he Will certainly hang Byars next Friday as per the sem tence. He said the courts had nothing whatever to do with the matter, as 1t now lay beyond their jurisdiction. He said Governor Oates is the only person who can legally prevent the execution.
 Captain Kolb was seen by an AGE-HER. AID reporter and asked about the matter. He had not heard of the proposed petition and merely smiled when the reporter in- formed him of it.
 To the question, ''Would you grant a pardon?'f he made no answer.
 Should the attorneys carry out their scheme and present the petition for pardon to Captain kolb, and he sign it. that will probably open up h the courts the fight for the governorship of the state. That is, 1t will open the fight in the courts if any of the judges will entertain writ of habeas corpus, based on proceedings in line with the above mentioned "scheme." If they refuse to entertain motion for g writ of that character the attorneys will then go to the supreme court and there seek an order compelling the issuance of such writ.
 Thua mattera stand at nreaant.

Excess of Zeal.

"Wagstaff out of job againf You told me the other day good Samaritan, with lots of money, had hired him to distribute tracts and Scripture texts on suburban trains. |"
 "He did, but Wagstaff got into trouble the very first day he started out and lost his job."
 ''How?"
 He got involved in a controversy on in- fant baptism with man from Kentucky. Before it was ended they had smashed a window, broken two seats, frightened sev- eral women passengers into mysteries, and the conductor put them both of the train. Wagstaff is good hearted, faithful fellow, but he's too zealous. "-Chicago Tribune.

ACCIDENT
AT DUNBRIDGE LAST FRIDAY
Two Men BADLY Injured

Ou Friday evening last, ut about 7:30
AN accident occurred at Dunbridge,
which promised to prove fatal for two
well known highly esteemed citizens
of Wood county.
John Curren', Hugh Stewart and
Matthew Park of Dunbridge we're re.
turning from Louisville, on the T. s.
o. G. flyer which was due at Toledo at
Z p. IN. This train does not stop regu-
lmly at Dunbridge, but on this occasion
was to stop for the accommodation Of
these passengers.
Upon arrival at Dunbridge and be-
f,re the train stopped, Hugh Stewar,
and Matthew Park, joan Current aud
the conductor were standing on the
platform waiting for the train to stop,
but while the train was still in motion
Stewart and Park either stepped or
fell off the car and were thrown with
great force upon the platform.
Mr.. Stewart was picked up from be-
meath the car where he would have
been horribly mangled had not the
train been stopped almost the instant
he fell. His head was badly bruised
and cut and it was feared he was dan
gerously injured, but later reports in
dicate that he is out OF danger although
badly bruised
MIR. Park was in an unconscious con-
ditiou when carried to the Office Of DR..
Pope and remained in that condition
until Sunday, but later advices state
that he is somewhat better.
He sustained severe injuries by strik-
ing his head on pile of iron and con-
cussion OF the brain was feared.
