STUART had the Nevada Legislature pass
law legalizing puglisistic contests,
stuart. a famous Dallas sporting man
originally intended to have Corbett and
Ftzsimmons fight in the Lone Star
state Governor Charles A. Culberson
declined To allow the fight TO take place
on Texas soil and gained such prestige
chasing the 'bruisers out of the state
that he was elected to the United
states senate.
After being run out of Texas, Stuart
Corbett and Fitz moved on TO Arkan-
sas and tried TO stage the heavyweight
championship mill in Hot Springs.
The business men and hotel inter-
ests Of Hot Springs lined up with
Stuart.
Governor James p. Clarke of Arkan-
sas, however, set his foot down on the
proposed pugilistic show and said he
would never allow it to come eff in Ar
kansas.
FYtz called on Governor Clarke at
the executive mansion in Little Rock.
The governor took 'Ianky Bob by the
hand and, leading him out on the lawn,
pointed to the state penitentiary and
said:
If YOU violate the anti-prize fight
ing law of Arkansas, you'll land in
there"
The governors threat frightened
Fitz. who rushed over to Stuart at Hot
Springs and insisted that the fight be
pulled off in another state. Stuart
then went out to Nevada and had the
legislature pass a special act legaliz-
ing hstlc shows.
Clarkes war on the fighters made
him a big figure in Arkansas Demo-
cratic politics. and when his guber-
Material term expired he was elected
20 the United States senate.

unknown to nature, with the object

Feathers or nothing at all, that was
the decision, and flowers were rele-
