FINDS A RATTLE GROUND
Has 4 Place Where He Can Pull OF
Prize Fights.

Ell Paso, Tex. Nov. 17.-Dan Stuart,
after a fantastic chase over the coun-
try, has at last succeeded in securing
a spot where he may pull off any
prize fight without fear of police in
reference. That place is on the Mex
lean side of the river near Paso Del
Norte. Backed by a rich syndicate of
American capitalists, mostly Texans,
he recently made a trip to the City
of Mexico and there obtained a con-
cession that places him in indisputable
possession OF a tract of land on
which he may erect an arena, club
house, ETC., and make such improve
ments as he may decide upon and pull
off his fights without interruption of
any kind. Stuart win now make a
bid for the Corbett- Fitzsimmons af-
fair under circumstances where a large
purse may be guaranteed.
1t is said that the Improvements will
be made at once. 1t is further stated
that the syndicate will guarantee
money for purses and that some of
the biggest mills in the history of the
prize ring will shortly be scheduled.
