with warrants for the arrest of Brady and
Corbett. Sheriff Booker simply delivered
the warrants TO Deputy Sheriff Tate and
requested that ne serve the papers. The
deputy refused. on the ground that tha
men were now in the CUSTODY OF the aus
thoritieS of this county. lie was then re.
quested TO read the warrants to the men
and let u 20 az that, which was done.
The main interest centerS In the move
nent 10 set Fitxsimmons here. F1tzsim-
mons and party left San Antonio tonight
at o'clock. and unless intercepted and
detained will arrive here tomorrow even
ing. There Is some uneasiness here. how
ever. for fear that the governor may cap
ture them. There Is liable to he clash
OF authority when the sheriff OF Miller
county attempts TO take t'itzsimmons on
the warrants ia his possession. tn tha
event that he has been taken in tow hy
Sheriff Houpt, Of this county. who Is now
at Marshall. Tex. waiting for Fitzsim-
mons. to bring the latter to this city.

have been f1warted at every move. how
ever Corbetf. Brady, Joe Nendig and
Secretary Wheelock. Of the Florida Ath-
letic club. are all under arrest here, and
ont OF 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. lie tipped his
hand and lost his game. The arrest today
OF Brady. Nendig et al. by the local au-
thorities was simply for the purpose OF
forestalling the move made by The attor-
ney general and 20 prevent their removal
from this city to ''show cause why they
should not give a bond TO keep the peace"
