After the Hot Springs fiasco Dan Stewart
went back to Dallas and thought the mat.
ter all over. He had not given up the idea
of bringing the men together. He looked
for another place where battle might be
brought oil, and found il near Ell Paso,
Texas. He secured ritzsimmons' consent
for fight for big purse, and then came
north TO look Up Corbett.
Arriving in this city he learned of Maher's
victory over O'Donnell and of Corbetts
transfer of the championship. Maher was
then substituted, with Fitzsimmons' con-
sent. Stuart then arranged for other bat
ties, intending to have tistic carnival on
large scale. In all six battles were to
have been fought.
Maher went to Las Cruces. New Mexi-
can town. about fifty miles from Ell Paso,
and Fitzsmmons located in Juarez, right
across the river from Ell Paso. Both went
into active training. In time the other
pugilists arrived and matters looked good
for the success of Stuart's plans. Stuart
had not divulged the place where the fights
were to take place, however, but insisted
that they should be held without interfer-
ence and without breaking any law.
In Washington few days ago bill was
passed prohibiting prize fights in any of
the territories of the United States. This
barred Stuart from New Mexico and was
the first of his troubles. Then the Mexican
government declared against the fight and
troops were called out to enforce the law.
Texas rangers were on hand to see that the
fight did not take place in their state.
Through it all Stuart steadily maintained
that the fight would take place.
Finally Maher's eyes became swollen
and infiamed from dust which had fallen
into them from the ceiling of his training
quarters after dislodgment by football.
He could not fight February 18th, accord
ing to the articles of agreement, and post
ponement was made until last Monday,
and on that day further postponement
until today was arranged.
Stuart then declared all the other battles
