shrewd Manager of the Club.

HOT SPRINGS, ARK. oct. 29.-The
complications brought about by the de-
mand of Governor Clark that Corbett and
Fiszsimmons shall not contest for the
fistic championship I'm Arkansas, and the
equally strong determination on the part
of the Citizens Committee and the Hot
Springs Athletic club that the men shall
come together in the Ozarks is rapidly
developing into a serious crisis.
Things look squally tonight. ana no.
body seems TO know what tomorrow VIII
bring forth, although there Is considera-
bic forebOding that trouble will come.
When Sheriff Booker. Of Pulaski coun-
tv. i'm which Little Rock is situated. ar
rived here on the o'clock train, the
latest move of the executive was made
apparent. Booker brodght with him
sealed packet Of papers with instructions
TO deliver them TO Sheriff Houpt. or THIS
(Garland) county, and to await the lat
ter's action.
This package had been personally de-
lvered by the Governor 10 SneIll boohcr
early in the afternoon, with orders 70
take the first train and return II possible
by the O'Clock train from Hot springs
tomorrow morning. on MS arrival ne
was met by Representative south OF Say Ak
ter county. who Is still here watching the
movements Of Brady and party and the
Citizens Committee in the interest or the
Governor, and they then proceeded 10 the
Sheriff's Office That official being just
now on the state line awaiting the ar
rival Of Fitzsimmons, the package was
orened by one Of his deputies. It's con-
tents were orders calling for the arrest
Of COrbett Brady. and their party, ana
the production or each lndlNluudi III L'.-
tie Rock
The warrants were based upon informa-
ton sworn out by Attorney-General hins-
worthy I'm precisely the same language
as that employed yesterday In securing
the papers for the arrest Of titzsimmons,
setting forth that the principals TO the
proposed fight were about TO engage IN a
contest wherein might result the killing
Of one or the other, and should therefore
be held 10 maintain the peace.
Deputy Sheriff Sam Tate was the
only other attache OF the office ON mana
and 70 him the chief deputy turned over
the papers for service.
Shortly after o'clock. Tate appeared
I'm the corridor OF the Arlington, sought
out Smith and Booker and after a con-
ference OF fifteen minutes, announced
that he could not serve the warrants FOR
the reason that men named therein were
already i'm custody of official warrants
issued by the Garland County Court.
Sheriff Booker upon being Informed mat
this was actually the case accepted me
situation and said that this was actually
the case, accepted the situation and said
that he would make no further efforts 10
cOmplicate that situation by endeavOring
70 enforce the mandates ne ndd Drought
with him.
The officers OF the club have been an
ticipatng some such move as this on the
part Of the Governor. and took the
Initiative toward checkmating II by pro-
curing warr~nts for everybody I'm any
way concerned with the prospective Tight
and having them served at once. But for
this move the whole party would have
been gathered i'm and hauled Off IN the
morning 10 Little Rock.
Governor Clarke was notified tonight
over the telephone by Attorney JONI VI.
Moore that his plans for the time had
been thwarted. Some other movement
from the Executive Mansion IS expected
tomorrow.
The outlook is that il Fitzsimmons
reaches here tomorrow night the details
for the match will be quickly arranged:
If II is 10 take place i'm private Tor the
side purse OF $1,000 there VIII be post
ponement for the date originally agreed
upon The club. however, fayors nght
I'm public. and If both sides agree TO this
they will be called at ! o'clock Monday
or Tuesday.
