they may continue for two days, and
then Judge HOLSTER may reserve his
decision for day or two, so that the
indications last night were that there
will be no suspension of preliminary

were repeatedly made by directors Of

that the fight would not be declared

Nash, denied that there was col
lusion in the cases before Squire

lin were arraigned on the charge OF

cases were continued till next Mon

that If he found collision in these
cases he would have the principals
arrested again and ARA. gned before
a judge of the common pleas court.

congratulating Governor Nash on his
action.
1t was stated last night that the
attorneys for the Saengerfest Attn

court today to statutes that were
passed by the legislature after the
Burner riots here. in 1854. when the
power or authority that is usually
vested In sheriffs was conferred upon
the mayor in the cities of the first
grade in Ohio. which applies to Gin

claimed that the COUNTY officers will
be powerless. Governor Nash has
communicated with county officials
only and not with the mayor or any
municipal officers.
The contestants and their asso-
ciates. as well as the managers and
promoters, seemed to be confident last
night that the fight will be pulled of
here on Feb Is. under the Ohio stat
ute that provides for boxing contests
under tho auspices of regularly organ

the speaker was passing through the

changed In o brief moment. and Gener-
al Henderson was left to see the swing

Six years later General Henderson
again came TO Washington, this time to
get Iowa divided into two judicial dis

Blaine also lived. It being in those days
