SIGNED BY THEPRESIDENT

SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT
Washington, D c., Feb. =
The Catron bill to prevent prize
fighting in the District of Col
um bia and Territories was sign
ed by the President about 4:30
p. IN. The bill did not reach
the White House until 4 o'clock
and in its case the usual routine
was departed from and the
measure taken at once to Mr.
Cleveland, who after examining
its provisions promptly attach
ed his signature. so that from
the date of the signature prize
fighting is a felony on all soil
over which the Federal govern
ment has exclusive jurisdiction
Prompt measures will be taken
to see that it is not violated.
By the signing of the anti prize
fighting bill the President has
placed upon the Governor of
New Mexico the responsibility
for the prevention of the Fitz-
simmons Maher fight in that
territory. The Governor has
been informed of the fact, so
lie is fully aware that it is a
law. The Federal authorities,
however, are disposed to do
everything in their power to as
sist in the execution of the law
if the Governor should find it
beyond the unaided ability of
the territorial officers to prevent
the fight i'll the territory. To
this end the Governor may, af
ter he has satisfied himself that
his local officers are unable to
meet the case, call on the Unit
ed States marshal for assistance
dan the latter may avail him
self of the troops in that vicini-
ty to prevent the fight.
Proper instructions will be
sent by the War Department
10 Gen. Wheaton, the depart
ment commander at Denver, to
promptly supply all of the force
requisite upon the request of
the proper authorities, and al
together the national govern
ment is prepared to make it
very unpleasant for any person
who participates in prize fight
in any Of the Federal territories
or even gives aid and comfort
to the would-be fighters by as
sembIing at any point TO wit
ness a fight.

HOT AFTER GEORGE TAYLOR:
Deputy Marsllsls Trailing Him in the In
dian Territory,

u.on IctFftoTys
GUTHRIE Okla, Oct. 1o-Deputy Uni
ted States Marshal Frank Canton left
yesterday morning with four assist
ants to try and locate George Taylor,
the murderer of the Meeks family.
The men are trying to Keep all their
movements secret, and it is impossible
to learn the route they have taken.
Taylor is supposed to be in hiding in
the Creek nation, where Canton claims
to have seen and spoken to him. The
escaped murderer, it is said, has or
ganized a gang of outlaws, which
promises to become as dangerous as
those headed by Dalton, Doolin and
others. A few days ago Canton
reported that Taylor was living in an
Indian camp, having taken up
the life of the red man. He
said that he had made an effort to
get Taylor to talk. but did not sue
eeed. Canton learned that the Meeks
murderer appeared among the Indians
on September 10. having gone into
the nation by the way of the Sac and
Fox agency. Canton had been given q
tip that Taylor was located in the
mountains near Rohltiing's mill,
nty, with a few men, started
for the place, but the assist
ants changed their minds as to the ad.
visibility of boarding the lion in his
den. Taylor, it is presumed, hearing
of the intended raid, changed his quar-
ters, going into the land of the Indlap-
A second raid was planned, but Tny-
lor learned of it and again changed
his location. Canton is fearless
man, and is determined. to land his
man and secure the reward.
