will come off. The time will be within
a week and the location somewhere in
the state Of Louisiana, the exact spot
to be determined. This much was de-
cided upon late this afternoon, after
the trial of Corbett and F7itzsimmons
| had been adjourned. Brady was cross
and out of temper with all the trouble
and delay he had been through His
interview with the governor upset him
still more and an announcement that
Dan Stuart had left Hot Sprisgs for
Little Rock with a proposition to have
the fight come off at Ell Paso for
purse of $4,000, reused his ire to a
greater pitch.

Brady holly, for $4,000 or any other
