NO BLOOD YET SHED.
Brady's Latest Clever Move Throws
Fitzsimmons on the De-
feOSiVe.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 2.-The cases
against Fitzsimmons and Julian, Brady
and Corbett have been dismissed by the
court on their agreement to leave the
state as soon as they can. All the fight
ers are included and the big fellows
will be given reasonable time to get out.
Gov. Clarke says he has no intention of
driving them out, but it will be a serious
thing if the restraining order is violated.
Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 2.-The case Of
the state against Fitzsimmons and Ju-
lian was again continued this morning,
the case going over till 2 p. M. The
adjournment was taken at the request Of
Attorney-Gen Trustworthy, whose
only part in the case seems to be a con-
tinual fighting for c~ontinuances. He
said that an agreement had been reached
with the prisoners and the chances were
that the matter would be disposed of in
the afternoon without troubling the
court. Judge Martin objected to grant
ing any more delay, but finally agreed to
the request of the encouragement, as
neither the prisoners nor their counsel
offered any objection to the statement
made by Trustworthy. FitZsimmons and
his manager, Julian. both express them
selves today as being anxious to accept
either Brady's proposition of yesterday
to meet in private for $4,000 a side or
the Florida Athletic clubs PROPOSE
ton to fight at Ell Paso. Ju-
liam preferred the Texas battle-ground,
as the $4,000 forfeit offered would
help pay for the lost time, he said, in
case the fight did not come off. He de-
clared, however, he would nave his $1O,-
900 ready to accept Brady's proposal to-
day if possible.
There is some doubt of my getting it
today" be said, "as my man in the
North wants the fight to come off in
public, but l have wired him full par
ticulars and he will, [ think, get the
money here today"
The agreement to which Attorney-Gen-
eral Trustworthy alluded in court was
that all court proceedings would be dis
missed on condition that the pugilists
leave the state. Julian believed that if
the matter was settled that way all the
interested parties would leave Arkansas
as soon as possible.
Brady, Julian and the encouragement
are now in consultation at the state
capitol. 1t looks as though the fight
ing game is dead in this state. Dan
Stuart. Joe Vendig, Billy Smith and a
t~rainload of other sports arrived from
Hot Springs this morning and stopped
over.
All the Cases Dismissed.
The ~rinlina eases against Fitzsim-
mons and Julian. Brady and Corbett
were dismissed at noon on condition that
the men leave the state as soon as they
can conveniently do so. The restraining
order preventing the men from fighting
III the state of Arkansas remains in
force. and all chance of bringing off
the fight in this state is over, even if
FitZsimmons would be willing to fight
in this state, and he stated unmistak-
ably yesterday that he would do nothing
of the kind. The agreement between
the fighters and their. managers on the
one side and the governor on the other
was reached yesterday. Gov. Clarke
said he was willing to abandon proceed
ingS if the men would take themselves
out of the state of Arkansas.
After the adjournment this morning
the encouragement and Attorney Mar
tin went direct to the Office of the COVER
nor, and after an hours conference At
torney-General Trustworthy went back
to the court house and made arrange
ments with Judge Martin Of the circuit
court to be in his Office at noon. He was
there on time and in a few words Attor-
ney, Hemingway for the state asked
s Is tb : d efs 8 g Z Is G tfeg ag T ?
Fitzsfmnl6ns and Julian were not in
court, but their representative, Mr..
South, said that the prisoners had agreed
to leave as Stated. The case was at
one dismissed.
A few min1tes later the case against
Brady and Corbett came up before Chan
cellor Martin. who dismissed the case
against them On the showing made by
the attorneys on both sides. He told
them that they were not compelled to
leave the state. but if they violated the
injunction restraining them from fight
ing they would get not less than two
wears in the county iail
This disposes of almost the last chance
to pull off the fight. Brady will agree to
nothing unless Julian's $4,000 is up and
there are no signs of it's being up. Cor
bett and Brady will leave for New York
as soon as there is no more chance of
seeing the $4,000 put up by Julian.
