THG1AIZl FIGHT PUZZLE.
Governor Clarke Has Ordered the
Militia to be Ready
TO PREVENT THE PROPOSED FIGHT
In Hot Springs, However, 1t IL Asserted
That a Satisfactory Arrangement Has
Been Made with the Executive-Fitz-
simmons Still Remains In Texas.


LITrLE ROCK, Oct. 17.-Colonel Hollen-
berg, commanding the First regiment,
Arlkansrs Guards, has issued orders to
every company In his regiment to hold
themselves in readiness, subject to u call
70 move TO Hot Springs. In an interview
today Colonel Hollenberg said:
"Thcre Is no secret about the matter.
Orders have been sent to every company
Of white militia In the state notifying
them to bo in readiness to move to Hot
Springs on short notice. II the managers
Of the fight continue in their deterfnina-
tion to have the fight come off the militia
will be called out and stop the fight.
whether the governor is right or
wrong, II he sends the militia to Hot
Springs, the fight will be stopped. cannot
take any cognizance In the premises in de-
Gliding whether he is right or wrong just
how the governor proposes to pay the ex-
penses OF tho militia in the event that they
are called out to Hot Springs is not known.
II Garland county calls for the militia, OF
course, that county will be held responsible
financially. II tho governor calls out the
soldiers on his own hook, 1t Is not known
who will pay the militia's expenses, as the
state has no money appropriated for this
nse"
Attorney General Kinsworth's opinion
on the legality Of the course adopted by
Governor Clarke in connection with the
prize fight question will probably never be
known, unless the governor calls upon
him for written opinion In the regular
way.
An Associated Press representative
sought to interview Mr.. Kingsworthy.
"Has the governor any lawful right, asked
the reporter ITO declare martial law In a
locality where there is q regularly consti-
tuted lcsal government, who have ex-
pressed confidence in their ability to main
tain order without his assistance, and
without being called upon for his aid or
assistance by the local peace officcrss"
81 decline to answer" replied the attor'
ncy general, bluntly. II will not give an
opinion on this subject to any private citi-
Esn or to the press. 1 shall soy nothing
absolutely unless called upon by tho gov
ernor in his official capacity for written
opinion. II that Is called for it will re-
main for the governor to make 1t public Ii
hetiesires."
ssived upwards Of thousand letters from
various parts Of the state from citizens
seeking his opinion on various subjects
and that he had Ignored them all. He be-
heved, he said, that the governor had
ample authority under the law to stop the
zght, but would not venture an official
opinion. He admitted that the governor
Is basing his course of action on the law
of 1888.
Further questioning proved fruitless, as
She attorney general was firm in his reso-
luton not to be interviewed.
"Were to submit to an interview" he
said, II might say some things that would
not agree with Governor Clarke's view Of
the matter. Should l do this he would
come in here and jump on me, and l am
not going TO take any chances on that"

made to blow the express safe open with

In the year 1894 the De Kalb Fence
Co. Of De Kalb, Ill.,, doubled the ca
pacity for producing their lines over
1893, which gave them an output Of
20 miles per day. The demand for their
goods has been so great the past sea-
son, that in order to be able to supply
their trade, they have been compelled
this year to double the capacity of 1894,
which now gives them an output of 40
miles per day.

81 have no wish to die with you,' he
answered, with a sneer. If l dropped
the vial it might break, and the fumes
of the liquid it contains would kill us
both before we could escape from the
room

table, but 1 saw with his eyes he was
searching for some other means Of get
ting me out Of his way for good.
Realizing that had desperate and
dangerous man to deal with, I decided
to take no chances, and, catching the
doctor off his guard, sprang upon him
and slipped the handouts on his wrists.
When he found that he was helpless he
went along quietly to the station house.
There charged him with murder. He
smiled as l named the charge, but re-
fused to say word.
"The doctor was locked in cell while
I went to headquarters, to make re-
port of what had done. Before l had
finished my report to the chief a mes
sage was telegraphed to headquarters
that DR.. Huger was dead in his cell.
The clothing of the dead man was care
fully searched, but nothing was found
that furnished any clue to the cause of
his death. There was careful au-
topsy, but 1t revealed nothing. The
doctors terrible secret had died with
him. That he had killed himself there
could be no doubt, but how he had done
it was question that the men of his
own profession could not answer.

practiced this art only a short
time, but evidence was discovered
which showed that whenever
he had set about accomplishing a
purpose no human life was allowed to
stand in his way.
Arthur Hodgson was retired mer-
chant, we'll along in years, with good
sized fortune and young and charm
ing wife, whom he suspected of trying
to get rid of him. He was in poor
health. His attending physician was
DR.. Louis Huger The latter had been
in the city less than year, but was
reputed very learned man in his pre-
fession and had already established a
large practice. Hodgson had met him
first while travelling in Europe. The
doctor had known Mrs. Hodgson before
her marriage, and she had unbounded
faith in his skill.
"Hodgson would not make direct
charge against his wife or the doctor,
in fact, he did not want anyone arrested
and above all desired to avoid any
publicity. He asked that his wife and
the doctor be Swallowed for a time by
a discreet detective. The chief prom
ised that he would have them watched,
and the old man went away looking
much relieved.

and finally the case was dropped.
