The Pugs VIII Try to Fight In
Louisiana.
BRADY AND JULIAN MAKE TERMS.
The Florida Athletic Club Come, For.
ward with New Proposition, which
Brady Refuses TO Accept-Ths Maher-
o'DonnelI Min Declared on.

LrTTIR ROCK, Nov 2.-There is now
o probability that the big fight will
come off. The time will be within a
week and the location somewhere In
the state Of Louisiana, the exact spot TO
be determined This much was de.
cided upon after the trials of Corbett
and Fitzsimmons had been adjourned.
Brady was cross and out Of temper
with all the trouble and delay he had
been through. His interview with the
governor upset him still more, and the
announcement that Dan Stuart had
left Hot Springs for Little Rock with a
proposition TO have the fight come of
et El Paso for purse of $20 600 roused
his ire toa greater pitch.
II will not go to FL Paso," exclaimed
Brady hotly, for $20, 1000 or any other
amount If go down there will
have the same trouble with the courts,
as have been having here and will
be bullied and badgered in this way no
longer. The governor has informed
me that he will drop the proceedings
against us If we will not fight in Ar
kansas, and now will make this propo.
sition and it is my ultimatum II it is
uOb dCCODJOu Wlthlu - VI bnO
dismissal of the warrants by the gov
ernor, the whole thing is off and the
championship goes north with Corbett
We will listen to no more propositions
and make no more concessions. IL is
this or nothing. / will accept one man
for refereef from the list prepared by
Julian and select the fighting ground.
II he is not willing that | shall select
the fighting ground, l WILL let him Sc.
lect one newspaper man. | will select
second, the two to choose each a
third and let them pick out the place
for the fight. We will fight him for
$4,000 side and for nothing less than
that Corbett will not fight hlm for
nothing Ihave my money right here. "
When the proposition to fight at once
was first submitted to Manager Julian
he was not inclined to commit himself.
A committee of newspaper men who
had been authorized by Manager Brady
TO submit the proposition to Julian and
Ftzsimmops found the former in his
room alone, the Australian being alb.
sent. Julian was informed of Cover
nor Clark's promise to release the men
from the bonds, but was very suspicious
and not inclined to believe the story.
"You don't know that governor" he
said, "but l do know him, and don't
want any Jail experience-not in mine. ="
Brady's proposal to bring off the fight
was then submitted, and the manager
was asked fatty If he would fight. all
legal complications being removed. He
attempted to defer his answer, but, be-
Ing pressed hard, finally said he would
accept the conditions. He was asked If
he would put up his 100000, and re.
piled that he would get it to-day. He
was emphatic in his statement that he
would have it today and be ready for
the battle. A messenger from Cover
nor Clark arrived soon afterward, max
ing the same offer the executive had
made to Brady, and Julian expressed
himself as satisfied with the situation
and said Fitzsimmons would fight. He
was shown O dispatch telling OF the
proposition TO bring the fight off at El
Paso, Tex. but, like Brady. declared
that he would not fight in nor before
any club with which Stuart is connect
cd unless his forfeit Of 81, 800 is paid.
This leaves the situation thus: Brady.
for Corbett, has made proposition to
fight; Julian, for Fitzsimmons. has ao.
cepted it, and If the latter's money
goes up today. the battle will probably
come of at place as yet in doubt.
The Maher.O o. Donnell and Ryan Smith
mills at Hot Springs have probably
been effectually squelched by the in
junction proceedings in Little Rock.
Tnis injunction was q sharp move on
the part of Governor Clark. An ap.
plication was filed in Pulaski county
chancery court for temporary order
restraining the following parties from
engaging in. aiding or abetting fight.

sition to Julian. II IL to bring off the

ber for $4,000 purse, with forfeit OF
$4,000 to each man in case the club be
unable to pull the fight through, in.
liam promptly accepted the proposition
Brady refused.
Chancellor Thomas Martin, before
whom Corbett's hearing was held, says
that he intends TO investigate the prize
fighters case, no matter what Cover
nor Clark may do. He declared thai
che men had come to Arkansas with
the avowed intention of violating the
law and that they must now stand ths
consequences.
The Maher-O o. Donnen bout has been
declared off.
Deputy Sheriff jesse Herd. in whose
custody lFitzsimmons 10, said that he
has received orders from Governor
Clark to kill either Corbett or Fitzsim
mona, or both of them, If they attack
each other, during their stay in Little
Rock.

cd an offer,of $50, 900 for the fight.
Corbett insulted Fitzsimmons in the

feather.
