Hot Springs, Ark, Oct 10.-After
| having opened court this morning
Judge Duffie asked for the sheriff.
Sheriff Houpt answered the summons
and Judge Duffie stated to him that he
had been informed and believed that
an attempt would be made TO bring
the Corbett-Fitzsimmon fight off in
Hot Springs and that he wished to call
his attention to the fact that in doing
/ SO the principals would breaking the
laws of the state and outraging the
| dignity of the state of Arkansas. He
would, in conjunction with Judge
league, the prosecuting attorney, in
1 form the sheriff at what stage it was
| his duty to interfere. The judge furth-
er stated to Mr.. Houpt that he had
right to call the posse comitatus and
that it would be a violation of the law
for a citizen so called upon TO refuse TO
respond.
Mayor Waters and Attorney Martin
returned today from Dallas where they
secured the bett-Fitzsimmons fight
for Hot Springs. E. H. Silven, archi-
tect for the club, also came. In CONVEX
sation Silven said he would go right to
work laying out the ground for the am
phitheater.
JUST AS HE EXPECTED.
Little Rock, Ark, Oct 10.-When
shown the dispatch from Hot Springs
about the action of Judge Duffie in con-
nection with the Corbett-Fitzsimmons
fight, Governor Clarke said that the
news was not surprising to him. He
expected as much of Judge Duffie, pros
ecuting Attorney league and Sheriff
Houpt. The governor said Judge Duffie
was an old classmate of his and he
knew he would do his duty in the pres
ent, as in all other, emergencies where
the majesty of the law was to be vim
dicated. Governor Clarke was en-
phatic in saying that since Duffie has
taken the initiative in the premises, it
would be very easy matter to stop
the fight. The chief executive of the
state could now intervene and preclude
the possibility of the affair being pull
ed off in the city of Hot Springs. Gov
ernor Clarke spent much time today in
examining the laws bearing upon the
case and in councilling with prominent
lawyers.
