PUGS TOO MUCH FOR ARKANSAS

Town.

Hot Springs, Ark, Oct. 81. The
moves made on the pugilistic checker
board to-day are full Of greater inter
est than has developed at any time
since Hot Springs was selected as a
battle ground by the managers Of the
big fight. AS the time for the meeting
of the two gladiatOrs had drawn S o
near that nothing short of strategem
AMI extreme measures would prevent
il. Gov. Clarke and Attorney General
Trustworthy put their heads together
and decided to use both by virtually
kidnapping" FitZsimmonS before he
reached Hot Springs and carrying him
to Little Rock where he would be so
tightly bound by bonds to keep the
peace that he would be glad to get
Out of the state without ever seeing
COrhctt.
Their plans have been thwarted at
every move. however. Corbett. Brady.
Joe NendiG and Secretary Wheeler. OF
the Florida Athletic club, are all under
arrest here and In the hands Of the
local authorities, hence the attorney
general cannot get service on them
now and take them from this county
for trial as he contemplated doing. He
was too slow. Officers from this coun-
ty. armed with warrants for Julian
and FitZsimmOnS' arrest are now
doubtless with the twain somewhere
in Texas plotting them toward Ar
kansas. AS soon as the train crosses
the line into Arkansas the warrants
will be served upon them and they
will be prisoners Of Garland county
officers. and when Gov. Clarke's sher-
if at T~eXarkana proceeds to serve his
papers he will find that his warrants
are no good. The arrest Of Brady.

thing that remains now for him TO do
to stop the fight is by military inter
ference. and it is not believed he will
do that, as he is somewhat handi-
capped on that score. The only thing
that will prevent the fight now, 1t
seems. is the failure of F~itzsimmons

stake money, which it Is said he will
do if he gets here. and he can get
here if he wants to come.
"Mysterious" Billy Smith arrived to-
day and went direct to Peter Makers
training quarters at Hughes villa. He
Is confident of success in his go with
Tommy Ryan. 1t is impossible to tell
at this time what day the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons mill will take place.
That will be definitely settled as soon
AS Fitzsimmons and Julian arrive.
Becoming Exciting.
Excitement is running high. Sheriff
Booker arrived with "A warrant for the
arrest Of Brady and Corbett. Shortly
after his arrival the lobby Of the Ar
lington hotel was crowded with sport
ing men and citizens who were anx-
iouS for the fight to take place and
who were anxious to know the mis-
sion of the governors officer. Sheriff
Booker simply delivered the warrants
to Deputy Sheriff Tate, in the absence
Of the sheriff, and requested that he
serve the papers. Deputy Tate re-
fused on the ground that the men
were now In the custody Of the au-
thorities Of this county and he could
not get service upon them until they
We're released, then he would serve
the warrants. He was then request

anyway. and let ii go at that, which
was done. This amounted to nothing,
however. as the prisoners will remain
in the custody of the local officials In
til discharged or until their cases are
disposed of by the court.
The main interest c~enters, however,
in the movement to get FitZsimmons
here. He and his party left San An
tonic at 8 O'Clock last night, and un-
less intercepted and detained, will ar
rive here this evening. There is some
uneasiness here. however, for fear the
governor may yet capture him.
