"IF IoU DO, I,Lh KILL Y0U."
Fitzsimmons' Reply to Corbett's Threat to
 Punch Him on Sight.

Punch Him on sight.
 Carson, New, March 1S.-The good fortune which attended Dan A. Stuart and all concerned in the great cham pionship battle yesterday was never better demonstrated than it was this morning, when the storm which the weather boss kindly kept bottled up be- hind the western Sierras on St. Pat rick's day was let loose with full force. But nearly all the sports had deserted the town, and those that remained were glad enough to stay indoors and fight the battle over again.
 A number of sensational rumors which were telegraphed to the effect that Fitzsimmons was dangerously ill caused a little excitement in the town. When they became current there was a scurrying for hacks to transport in- quirers to Cooks Ranch. When Fitz- simmons quarters were reached the champion and his family expressed their ignorance of the canard. The fact is that Fitzsimmons at no time af- ter he stepped out of the ring suffered any physical pain beyond that caused by a slight fracture of his right thumb point, which he received in the second or third round of the battle.
 Stakeholder Al Smith turned over the purse and side bets to Martin Jul ian this morning in Dan Stuart's of flee.
 w. A. Brady, Secretary Wheelock and few reporters were present when the transfer was made. After the checks were handed over to Julian, Brady renewed his offer made last eve ming to back Corbett against F'itzsim- mons for $20,0OO Julian's reply was evasive. He intimated that Fitzsim- mons would soon retire from the fstic arena, and, judging by expressions ut tered by the champion, it is not im- probable that this will be the program. All along Fitzsinmons has asserted that this was the last time that he would undergo the ordeal of training Fitzsimmons' reply to Corbett after they had shaken hands in Bobs corner yesterday indicated that the Australian was thinking of retiring.
 You've licked me fair and square," said Jim. 'Now, want you to give me another chance"
 The champion replied coldly: q will not fight you again."
 ''Then I will punch you in the head the first time meet you on the street" was Corbett's retort.
 'If you do," answered Fitzsimmons with bitter smile and in an even tone, q will kill you"
 San Francisco, March 1S.-Corbett shows no ill-effects of his contest with Fitzsimmons. He was up and around to-day and appeared to be in his nor mai condition.
 It is said that he has no plans for the future and that he has cancelled all en- agreements.
