CORBETT FINDS
 AN UNKNOWN
Challenge Issued to Johnson-$5,0O0
 Forfeit,

New York, July 19.-James J. Cor bett, has an unknown under cover, who, he hopes, will show himself fit to win the title that Jim Jeffries To t to Johnson at Reno.
 Hugh Mcintosh the Australian promoter, who staged the fight be- tween Tommy Burns and Johnson, has been sufficiently impressed to put out a challenge today in behalf Of the "unknown,' backed by a $5,00O forfeit, to be used later as side bet.
 If Johnson declines the offer is open to any other man worthy to be con- sidered for heavyweight honors.
 Corbett refuses to make known the identity of his protege, and there IS some doubt in sporting circles that he has anything more specific ill mind than a desire to see Johnson whipped.
 Mcintosh who is now in New York, says in his challenge:
 Unknown will be named by Jas. J. Corbett, and will also be trained by him, the fight to take place in the United States, England or Australia and I agree to offer a purse to the amount of which is to exceed that of- fered by any other person.
 ..As an evidence of good faith l am willing to deposit the sum of $5,o0o as a guarantee, with Timothy Sullivan or any other responsible person. The same deposit to be used as a side bet if desired.
 "The only stipulation that l make is that the contest be twenty rounds are more''

$10O,OOO VIADUCT
 FOR TEXARKANA

Texarkana, July 19-(SpeciaD-A proposition to build a viaduct over Oak street railroad crossing was sub- mitted to the city of Texarkana, Tex, by the Texas and Pacific, Cotton Belt and Kansas City Southern Railways, The plans call for a steel viaduct with 20-foot carriage driveway, and con- crete sidewalks on each side, and will cost about $100,000. The matter has been agitated long time, as the number of switches and main lines crossing Oak street make it more or less dangerous to cross the track to Carmichael's Hill suburb.
