the Governor Use the
Militia?
Memphis, Tenn, Oct. ga special
telegram to the Commercial Appeal from
Little Rock, Ark, says: Gov. Clark re-
ceived information to-day from Hot
Springs which convinced him beyond
question that an effort will be made to
hold the fight at Hot Springs on schedule
time. From what source he received the
information he declined to state. The
governor still says he will prevent it. He
cares not whether it takes place publicly
or privately. "The men shall not fight
on Arkansas soil"
It is believed that Fitzsimmons will be
arrested Immediately on his arrival in the
state and placed under heavy peace bond.
Gov. Clark says he has been informed for
several days that an effort will be made
to have the fight in private, which fact
will compel him to be absent on Arkansas
day at the Atlanta exposition.
ARRANGEMENTS TO ARREST FITZsIMMONs.
Hot Springs, Ark.--The flank move
ment made last evening by Gov. Clark
and Attorney General Kinsworthy, ap-
pears to have eflectually settled the pos
sibility of Corbett and Fitzsimmons ever
meeting in this state, and all hopes OF
pulling off the fight at Hot Springs have
been abandoned.
The attorney general made an affidavit
upon which warrant for Fitzsimmon
arrest was issued, and the papers were is
sued by magistrate of Little Rock and
placed in the hands of a sheriff at Texar-
kama. The plan is not to allow him to
reach here.
Attorney Kinsworthy remained in this
city to-day for the purpose of having the
Australian arrested here in the event that
he slips through Texarkana without be-
ing apprehended. It is his intention to
have Fitzsimmons placed under heavy
bond to keep the peace and thus prevent
the fight.
WILL 90 TO HOT SPRINGS ANYWAY.
Detroit, Mich.-So confident is "Par
son" Davies that the fistic carnival will
come of at Hot Springs that his entire
aggregation, comprising John L. Sulli-
van, Paddy Ryan, Tommy Ryan, Jimmy
Barry and others, will leave for the
springs tonight, arriving on Thursday
morning.
This move is necessary, in a measure,
to save Tommy Ryan's forfeit and to
claim that of the Florida Athletic club,
in case the contest is not pulled off.
John L. Sullivan said: "Will they fight
Well, guess they will. or leave the coun'
try. They have been bamboozling the
country long enough with their windy
war, and have got to do business now or
get ont of the game"
Tommy Ryan is declared to be in ex-
cellent condition and down to weight
now.
GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS SPEAKS.
Chicago.-A dispatch addressed to the
Associated Press and signed by the gov
ernor of Arkansas was received at the
Associated Press office in Chicago at
noon: "Little Rock, Ark Oct. 29.-l
intend to stop the fight at all hazards
regardless of the place and time when
attempts In fact, it is stopped now.
(SIgned) James p. Clarke"
SCHEME TO DETHAT STATE AUTHORITIES
Hot Springs. - Sheriff Houpt and a
deputy, of this county, left here last
night armed with warrant for Fitzsim.
mons. 1t is their purpose to meet Fltz'
simmons in Texas, return with him, and
as soon as the train passes over the state
line into Arkansas, place him under ar.
rest and bring him on to Hot Springs
thus taking him out of the hands of the
state authorities completely.
When they arrive here Fitzsimmons is
to be taken before a magistrate and
placed under peace bond. Then it il
believed that he and Corbett can meet
and ''shake hands" in the ring. Fitzsim
mons is not expected before tomorrow
In response to tip, sent out on Sat
urday night to various sporting head
quarters all over the country, the incom
ing trains are crowded with sports ant
others who expect to see the fight. Cor
bett is in active training and is pro
nounced in the pink of condition.
ANOTHER sHnEwD MOVE.
Hot Springs.-Manager Joseph vendit
and Secretary Wheelock, of the Florid
Athletic club, were arrested this after
noon on warrants charging them will
conspiring to commit breach of tn
peace. Both were promptly released o.
bond. This is but another shrewed NOV
to lead off the attorney general, who wa
preparing to have them arrested upon
similar charge and carried to Little Roo
for trial. If Fitzsimmons succeeds l
getting here, there will be 'smill" unlee
the governor runs in squad of militit
which is not probable.
