ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct ga special
from Little Rock to the Post-Dispatch
says: At noon Governor Clark received a
telegram from Corpus Christi, announc-
ing that Fitzsimmons left there at S:2o
o'clock and his destination was some
point in Arkansas not revealed by the
ticket ourcnased. 1t is certain he did not

that the governor has an officer there to

Hot Springs by way of Hoxie, and tel .

town to watch every tam. The COVER

| DALLAS, Tex, Oct. 29.-None of Fitz-
sim mons party has been to Dallas. 1t is
given out in sporting circles here that
Fitzsi m mons himself has been in Arkan-
sas since yesterday morning. Julian and
some mem bers of his party renal red at
Corpus Christi as a decoy. Dan Stuart is
in Dallas attending to private business.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. 29.-Fitz-
simmons left Corpus Cnristi this morn
ing, via San Antonio for Hot Springs.
HOT SPRINGS. Oct. 29.-Manager
Joseph Vendig and Secretary Wheeluck
OF the Florida Athletic club were arrested
this afternoon on warrants charging
them with conspiracy. to commit breach
OF the peace. Both wee promptly re-
leased on bonds. This is another shrewd
move to head off the attorney general,
who was preparing to have them arrested
| upon similar charges and carried to Lit,
tie Rock for trial. If Fitzsmmons sue
ceeds in getting here there will he a
mill unless the governor should run q
squad OF militia, which is not pfoba BILE.
HOT SPRINGS. Oct. 29.-The moves
made on the pugilistiJc checke, board to-
day are full of greater interest than has
developed at any time since Hot Springs
was selected as battle ground by the
managers OF the fight. AS tho time for
the meeting of the gladiators had drawn
so near that nothing short of stratgem
ana extreme measures would prevent it,
Governor Clarke and Attorney General
kinsworthy put their heads together and
decided to use both, virtually kidnapp-
ing" Fitzsimmons before he reach ed II H0t
Springs and carving him to Little Rock
where he would be so tightly bound by
bonds to keep the peacs that ne would
be glad to get out OF the state without
even seeing Corbett.
Their plans have been thwarted at ev-
cry move, however. Corbett, Brady, Joe
Vendig and Secretary Wheeiock Of the
Florida Athletic club are all under ar
rest here and out of the hands of the To-
cal authorities, hence the attorney-gen-
| eral cannot get service on them now and
take them from this county for trial, as
| he conteIn plated doing. He was too slow.
He tipped his hand" and lost his game.
Off GERS from this county are armed with
warrants for Julian and FitZsim mons
arrest and are now doubtless with them
somewhere in Texas plotting them to
| Arkansas. The warrants will be served
upon them and they will be prisoners of
/ the Garland county officers and when
Governor Clarke's sheriff at Texarksna
proceeds to serve his papers he will find
that his warrants are no good.
The arrest today OF Brady, Nendig, ct
al, by the local authorities was simply
for the purpose OF forrstallins the move
made by the attornev-eeneral and pre-
vent the removal of the men from this
city to show cause why they should not
give bond to keep the peace
The governor has been tripped and the
| only thing that remains for him to do to
stop the fight is by military interference,
| and 1t is not believed he will do that as
he is somewhat handicapped on that
score. Everything now depends on Fitz-
simmons getting here. lie is expected
/ tomorrow morning, in charge OF Sheriff
Houpt, unless a serious clash OF authority
should occur between the officers who are
after him-thoss holding the warrants is
sued at Little Rock and the sheriff of
| this county. But it would very likely re-
suit IN the first officer getting service
holding the prisoner. That the fight will
take place between now and Novem Der I'd
seems to be certainty.
"Mysterious" Billy Smith arrived to-
| day at noon and went direct to Peter Ma
hers training quarters. He is confident
