move has been made according to- written
Instructions from Governor Clarke.
The governor ordered Sheriff billiard
and Deputy Heard to get pig posse OF
men to take Fltzsim IONS and Julian at
all hazards and at any cost and produce
them before Judge Martin at Little ROCK
as 500 n as possible after arresting them.
The officers and pugliists will arrive at
Little Rock early tomorrow morning.
There was an immense crowd to meet
the of GERS and pugilists as they came IN
from + u1ton, and the party could hardly
get thro Ugh the Jam at the Cosmopolitan
hotel to secure supper before starting Tor
Little r. ,ck.

crowds thr Dnged the depot anxious to see
Fitzsimmol rs, who was expected to arrive
on every tn Yin. Manager Brady smiled
scarcastically' as he twirled in his fingers
ths telegram telling of Fitzsimmons'
capture, ana with evident relish re-
~ told YOU o. 1t was clever scheme
on Fitzsimmon s. part.

clever. He ca refully evaded the Hot
SPRINGS officers, who had gone TO meet
him, as their su scess in capturing him
would have insured a battle. He went
with ali Joy to the governors othcers ana
probably got the fir st easy breath be has
drawn for a month after they arrested
them.
The long and short of the whole
story is that Fitzsilnnlons is afraid to
fight. If he had not bee n, the governor 8
people would never have gotten him.
Attorney General Trustworthy appeared
before Justice of the Peace Rapley this
evening at 3 O'Clock and moved that tn
warrants issued several days ago for tn
arrest of Corbett and his party be re-
called.
City Attorney Martin who, with Mayor
Waters. constituted the citizens com
inittee which went to Dallas aud sac ured
the removal of the headquarters of the
Florida Athletic club to this city, APP
trying to have the contest pulled off here,
and upon the showing made by him,
Justice Rapley denied the mo slon. Inc
purpose of Attorney General klns-
worthy, who represented Governor Oiark
in this action, was to have the CUrbett
party revain in the custody of the Gar
Ianu county officers in order that they
might be removed to Little Rock, after
being arrested under the warrants issued
by Judge Martin OF that city, ana placed
&c GbariH Fl on MI IDENTITIES
This was IN furtherance of the plan te
make every effort to keep the men apart,
and was bound to be important IN veiN
OF the posi- bility that FltZsimmons nigh
elude the off GERS sent to Texargana by
Governor Clarke. 1t is a significant fac
and ole that gives some color to the re-
port that Corbett and his party may b'
up IN Little Rock tomorrow that the
motion to recall the warrants was MOI
opposed by the city attorney after thu
Officers of the Hot Springs Attn letic clul
had received WORD from Texarkana tina
Fitzsimmons had fallen into the hands
of the state officers. The fight manager
even went so Tar as to indicate their Will
ingness to surrender the Corbett party
to the state officers. This informatio OF
was telepboned to Governor Clarke by
Attorney General Kinsworthy, but thu
result of their communication, in so ia
as it may affect Corbett'' movements to
morrow, the attorn ev-generai would MOI
make public. The plan OF the hight peopl
seems to have been to keep Corbett ant
his party under the jurisdiction OF justice
Rapley and ont of the hands of the STATE
officers as long as there was a chance To-
Fitzslmmons to reach this city OF
schedule time. When this vanished
there was no longer possibility OF an en-
counter between the two heavy weights
within the next twenty four hours. the!
evidently thought it advisable to let tn
governor have his own way for Httl
while longer and bide their time.
All of FitzslmmoKs' baggage, with the
exception of his personal belongin gs
came through to this CITY tonight, as die
nm enormous tent which is to be utilized
for the purpose of the fight.
The mem bers of the Hot Springs Ath-
letic club were in no wise cast down by
this last blow to- their chances, and reit
crate the hope that the fight will even
sually be pulled off.
Alfred Newhouse, prominent membe
OF the club, said tonight that the RIM
would be pitched tomorrow in Whiting
ton park and all other preparations will
be carried forward without delay.
The several com panies of the state
militia ordered out by Governor Clarke
this morning are still held in readiness
though he mad not decided to send then
here at present.
