bearing him from Las Cruces, N NJ.
and accompanied by others on the trip,
arrived here at noon today. He left the
train at the smelter, three miles out
hangers were posted at every point
from the railway station out to await
him. A carriage was in waiting at the
smelter and into this Maher, Hall and
Quinn jumped and with the horses on
a run reached this city.
Hot after the carriage came two
mounted rangers with their horses

Maher evadsd them. After reaching
here, Maher remained in hiding several
hours. Then he appeared upon the
streets with his trainers, making no
effort to conceal his movements.
The freshman looks better than could
be expected for a man who has had
The "aikan eyes" and whose training
has been interrupted. He has little to

make FitZsimmons know ne has had a
fight" is the substance of what Peter
hiss to say Everybody predicts
a SHORT FIGHT,
a hurricane battle from the call of
time. Jim Hall. Buck Connolly, J. );
Quinn and probably Phillip Lourie will
be in Makers corner. Jack Everhardt,
William Mccoy, Jack Stencil and Mar
tin Julian will probably care for Fitz-
simmons. 1t is believed the train which
left at 10 o. clock tonight viii run south
until the north-bound train is met
about 175 miles from FL Paso, when the
ezra cars viii be attached to the rear
train and brought back to point near
Fort Hancock, which will be reached
about daylight Fort Hancock Is about
fifty miles south and near enough to
the Rio Grande river to be within walk
ing distance. The crowd will cross
the river and the fight will take place
ON THE MEXICAN SIDE.
Rumors are about tonight that there
will be trouble at the ring side. 1t is
said that some of the Maher party are
determined that it shall be win. draw
or Wrangle." Should such an effort be
made there will surely be trouble. Ref
cree Siler is not to be swerved from
what he believes TO be fair, nor will
Dan Stuart permit such action. There
are enough fair minded supporters Of
Siler and Stuart to make such an at
<e1npt result disastrously to. those who
might be willing to undertake such
move. 1t is thought the story started
through some foolish remarks Of Jim
Hall. augmented by threats OF Jimmy
Carroll against Fftzsimmons and Jul
ian Carroll tried to get into the Ma
her camp. but was turned down, He
is bitter against Julian and FttZsim-
mons, and is talking too much. 1t is
believed the Maher camp has no such
plan, and would not be a party TO il.
At o o'clock tonight notice was
posted in Dan Stuart's Office declar-
ing that all persons who desired
TO WITNESS THE FIGHT
should be at Stuart's Office at 9:45
o'clock. It was also announced that
the railroad fare for the round trip
would not be over 81.

StuaTt's Office at noon He did not ap-
pear nor did he show up during the af-
ternoon. At 6 O'Clock a messenger was
sent for him saying that he was or
5ered to come over to Stuart's office at
once. FitZsinmons refused to accom- |
pany the messenger saying he would |
not come over until 8 o'clock. He
asked if the money was up in Silei's
hands and when told that it was not |
