CARSON, New. March 4.-Dr. John
Gilman, one of the leading physicians in
Nevada, was very much surprised this
morning to receive a call to Shaws
Springs, where Corbett is training. The
messenger told him that the champion
himself wanted the doctor Corbett
was very angry over a report sent out
from here to the effect that he was
IN poor health, because Of an alleged
affection of the liver Corbett's repu-
uatlon for good humor was shattered
when he heard of the reports, He
stormed about the place, using some
very strong language, and finally sent
Tor the doctor. The examination lasted
nearly three-quarters of an hour. and
was thorough in every particular. The
doctor then stated that there was alb
solutely no foundation for the rumor.
He said CCrbett was the finest specl-
men Of physical manhood he had ever
SEEN At Corbett'S request the doctor
made written statement, giving the
result of his examination. The cham
plon went through his days work as
usual
one of the sensational incidents at
the Fftzsimmons camp today was a
visit of the district attorney in COM
pany With deputy sheriff. The dis
tr1ct attorney informed Fitzsimmons'
manager that unless a license was
taken out for the show which is given
every afternoon a complaint would
De sworn out tomorrow morning which
would lead to the arrest, not onIy Of
uhe nghter, but of his trainers This
trouble grew out of the general dis
appreciation of the citizens of Carson
over an arrangement Julian made with
the proprietor of a livery stable pro-
Vid1ng for a charge of 81 to and frop.
Cooks ranch. This charge was not
deemed exorbitant, but the fact that
a customer was given a ticket adj
hitting him to Fitzsimmons' gymna-
SUM brought about this threat of ar
rest The district attorney did not
insist on the license fee of s.. OOOr-bur
asked for the usual theatrical license
OF $75 year or $40 a month. There were
some hot words between Julian and the
district attorney, and the former de-
clded to pay the license.
FltzSlmmons did not think that any
further denial of the story published
OF his alleged dissipation was neces-
sary. F1tzsimmonS' appearance certain

port uhat he has been drinking. This
AFTERNOON he punched the bag fifteen
ROUNDS with only a half minute rest be-
tween, anG then boxed and wrestled
alternately for nearly an hour with
his three trainers. -.
