ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1.-THE Little Rock
correspondent of the Post Dispatch
wires that paper the following express
sion of the purpose on the part of Gov
ernOr Clarke in connection with the
orbett-FitzsimmonS fight:
Il do not care to discuss this matter
any further. but l will say, as 1 have
said before, there shall be no prize
fight at Hot Springs.
The authorities at Hot Springs have
practically admitted they will be I'M
able to prevent the fight. This leaves
the matter in my hands.
1T is a question now, as to who is
the higher authority in this state
the governor or a couple of prize
fighters, and those in favor of their
meeting. If there is no law to stop
the fight in any other way, except by
use of military force, shall use that
You may say for me that if I do not
stop that fight I will resign my office
and let those who believe in prize
fighting run the state government.
But there will be no prize fight at Hot
Springs
