THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 189 9 DAN STURT | 0 REND The Big Fight Promoter Pays a Flying Visit To This City. { WILL NOT NAME THE BATTLE - GROUND, | — | Has No Hand in Pool Privileges. May Match Lavigne and Walcott. i GREEN AND RYAN ARE ALSO| MENTIONED. If Arrangements Can Be Made a Championship Live Bird Shoot Will Be Held. Din Stuart, the famous promoter of contests pugilistic, arrived at 5 o’clock last Stuart said that he could not give even a hint as to the place where the fight will be held, as he must first see some of the leading sporting men and finaneiers of Reno and Carson before anything definite regarding the battle-ground can be de- cided upon. $ *'To be candid with you,” said Stuart, “Idon't care where the contest will be held as long as it is in the State of Ne- vada. 1 dare say, though, that either Reno or Carson will be selected. Reno has the advantage so far as the telegraphic facilities are concerned, but all this mat- ter will rest, as 1 previously sad, with the leading men of :he Siate who have been instrumental in the passage of an act permitting finish contests. After I see the Reno people, which will be to- morrow, I think the public will know where the championship heavy-weight battle wiil be decided.” Regarding the gambling facilities Stu- art said that l.e guessed it would be *‘first come first served,” and that he had noth- ing to do with the pool-selling privileges. He did not hesitate to say that he would be represented in the pool-seiling venture, as be expected that large sums of money would be wagered on the result. He had telegrams from prominent Eastern sport- ing men which stated that N+w York and other large Eastern cities would be well represented at the mill. Regarding rates between tnis City and whichever piace in Nevada State the fight will be held he said that Mr. Wheelock, his advance agent, had made very satis- factory arrangements with the railroad officials here, and that as soon as the bat- tle-ground is decided upon thej peopie of this City will be informed on matters pertaining to rates and transportation. When asked as to the prices of admis- sion to the fistic carnival he intended to charge, Stuart said that the figures would be within reach of all; that fouriates of DAN STUART, the Recognized King of Fight Promoters. evening on ihe Southern overland from [admission have already been decided Dallas, Tex., and after remaining in the | upon, and they will range from $5 to $40.

Should the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight take place in Carson, this officer will preserve order at the ringside, and upon him wiil devolve the duty ol weighing the gloves. In addi- for otker attractions apart from the event of the day, as Billy Joraan would say. “As no one can ever conjecture the number of rounds the tight will last,” re- marked Stuart, “I have been figuring on some attractions which should interest all lovers of good sports. I had some idea of maiching Sharkey and Maher, or Maher and Choynski, but you see those fellows are looking for a fortune, and I don’t pro- pose to give them any such thing. “Iam, however, seriously thinking of matching George Lavigne, the Saginaw Kid, and Walcott, the colored lad who made such & gailant stand before the clever Lavigne a few months.ago. You know Walcott trained down several pounds be- low his best fighting weight when he met and was defeated by Laviene, but I think that if the Saginaw Kid can be induced to fight Walcott to a finish, and both of the men weigh in at the ringside at 140 pounds, the people would witness one of the greatest mills, from a scientific point of view, that has ever been pulled off in this country.” When asked what he thought of a match between Tommy Ryan and George Green, Btuart hesitated a moment and then said that ne had no reason to doubt that a contest between these two clever fellows would prove a good drawing card, bat st present he could not decide upon anything; that be must first consuit with the people of Reno before going deeper into the future. *1 will teil you one thing, though,” said Stuart after recovering from a short think- ing spell. *“We may have an inter-State live-bird shoot a week or so before the big fizht. While traveling through the East I met several noted sportsmen who were very anxious to see the great trap-shooters of America brought together. Now a 100- bird race for a large stake between such noted trap-shooters as Budd, Work, Wright, Carver, Graham, Hoey, Knapp, Williams, McMurchy, Hoyt, Macalester, Ewing, Rutherford, Webster and others whose names have been mentioned to me, should prove a great attraction, and I think such an event will be held, “Pigeon-shooting is one of the great drawing cards at Monte Carlo, and thou- sands of dollars change hands on the re- sults. We have just as good shots in America—if not better—as in any other part of the world where trap-shooting is indulged 1n, and as shooting men of all kinds will visit Nevada think that a trap-shooting tournament will prove very interesting.” Stusrt spoke of Fitzsimmons’ strange had signed with Corbett relative to a side bet they had made several months ago. ““Well, so far as side bets are con- cerned,’” said Stuart; “ail I know is that Julisn, who is Fitzsimmons' manager, telegraphed me at Dallas that he had posted with Al Smith the full amount of coin that I insisted upon guaranteeing Fitzsimmons' appearance in the ring on March 17. Corbett has posted his stuff, but so far as any side bets betwe-n the principals are concerned I can’t give you any information, as it cuts no ice with me. “When I saw Corbett last, which was a week or so ago, he looked first-class and I have no doubt that he will enter the ring in tip-top condition to give a good account of himseif. Fitz is always in | good trim and the sporting people of Texas and New Orleans will back him very heavily. I cannot say who will win. Corbett is very sanguine of success and so is Fitz.” e CORBEIT HUMEWAERD BOUND. Speeches Make Him Tired, but He Talks All the Way. BOCA, Cav., Feb. 10.—Corbett is head- ing for San Francisco along with his brother Harry. TmE CALL correspondent met the champion 1n his sleeper at Wads- worth, with his wife und burly sparring variner, Jack McVey. He had been train- ing hard all along the road, and is asclean as a greyhound. “Well, ola fellow,’” he said, “{ have not s0 very much to say, except that I'm as round as a wire nail, and I never felt so born. I've been training right along and I'm longing for the 17th. Yes, I guess from all I can lears that I will be at Car- son City and that Iam to train at Shaws Hot Springs. “Ob, yes, I heard what Fitz had to say about my fight with Mitchell being a fake. Guess he must have got mixed up with that little affair he had with Hall. Ydon’t pay muck atiention to those sideshow tatks of Fitzsimmons and I don’t propose to notice any of hiy eccentric utterances. He can’t keep from talking a lot of fool- ishness, and Idon’t feel like interrupting his pastime; would you? “By the way, he says he don’t propose to let the fight go on until his physician has examined me. Well, I like that. Now, suppose his old sawbones looks me over and says that I have bots, spavin, ringbone and springhalt, | suppose then the fight must be stopped | because I am disqualified. No, no; that doesn’t go; but I will say that any time Mr. Fitzsimmons wishes to examine me he can do so, provided it isin the ring. 1f the law of Nevada says doctor, why then doctors go; but they can’t be dragged in by him. 1'd advise him, however, 10 have a doctor on deck to Jook after him when the fightisover; that's the time he will need one. “8till I don’t want it to be understood that I think he's an easy mark; no, no; he’s a hard man to wind up and clever. 1 consider that he stands nexi to me* as a ring-fighter, but of course Ithink famaNo. L IfI am mistaken, and he can convince me of my mistake, why, the sooner I find it out the betier. ‘We have been leading up to this thine for years, and the public want the question settled—and 1 guess it will bs seitled in Carson v, Nev., on the 17ih. “I will appear at the Chutes on Sunday and give two periormances, and will leave for Carson on Monday and arrive there tion to the Shrievalcy, Kinney holds the offices of Chief of Police, City Marshal, Constable &nd Chief of the Fire Department in Carson.

Billyv Woods and Joe Eagan ure aboard and will get off at Reno. They will help me train. “We have great crowds at every station, and they call for speeches, but 1" can’t do much at speech-making. Speeches make me tired. Somehow they require & whole lot of exertion when the crowd is in front, and I feel nervous when I am called on to do the Demosthenes act; I'd about as soon take a licking as make a speech.” “That's right, Jack; open that small bottle and have some put on the ice.” There was a halt st Reno, and a great crowd . was _waiting. Nearly ail the State officers were there, hay- ing come down in the evening to inspect the public buildings at Reno, Governor Sadler, State Treasurer Wester- field and_Controfler La Grave were on the train, as well as several members of the Legislature. Harry Corbett wedged his way through the crowd and dragged the Governor up the steps into Jim’s car. +Jim, shake hands with Governor Sad- ler,”’ said Harry. Corbett was on his feet at once and gave the Governor a hearty handshake. “Weil, by Jove!” exclaimed the cham- pion. 8o you are the man who had ihe tand to sign the prize-ficht billr I'm devilish glad to meet such a man. Shake again! Lois-of these Governors would walk a mile to see the miil, but hesitate to sign the biil, fearing to lose a few votes.” Here the crowd bezan to yell for a speech, and the champion stepped to the platiorm and looked out over a sea of bats, He tried several times and the crowd kept veiling. Finally he said: next month I| well or in better condition since I was | Scene in Commissioner Heacock’s Court While Attorney Cormac Was Introducing as Evidence Certain Depositions for the British Government. the 17th ana I'm going outa winner.

This talk- ing seems to come easy to him. |Laugh. ter.] I haven’t preached to such a big congregation anywhere else along the freak in tearing up some agreement he | line.” Three cheers were given with great gusto, when Mr. O Keefe, alocal sport, yelied: “If you can't do up that blasted Cornishman don’tever pass through Reno alive again,” and there was another roar as the train pulied out. 'As soon as his brother Harry got into the smoker the two sat down facing each Each wanted to tell some experience. T say, Jim, Carson is just clean gone Last Sunday—" But wait, Chicago experienc As the two men talk, both sparring for an opening, they put up their hands and till I tell you my seat. Jim grabbed his brother child by like a right of way for his story and told the followin; i “Harry, I tan_up against the cleverest amateur boxer 1 ever saw at the Chicago Athletic Club, His name was Dr. Pine, a dentist, that stood 6 feet 2, weighed 190 and was as strong as a ball.” “Oh, bother your Chicago dentist; let me tell yon of Al Livingston of Car- son. He started the who'e worl and he’s got a stomach on him like— Jim rushed in and smothered his lo- quacious brother back into his seat. “‘Wel/, 1 had a go with this chap at the athletic_clup, and he came onto me like asnowslide. He let go straight swings, leads, uppercuts and the whole thing, and Thad to hustie Ike the deuce to keep out of his way. Oh, don’t you make any mistake; he was a clever guy aud be- astonished in my life ana never had to hustle any harder to keep from going out. You ought to have heard the cluo yell when he was getting in his work.” “But you ought to see them ac tie Car- | son depot —* | The champion grabbed his brother and | “He let np a second to see if I was dead, | when I reached for his jaw with a left | jolt, and when his hands went up I sent my’ right into his stomach, then back again on his jaw, just high enough to spoil his teeth. He subsided and the Chicago club quit yeliing.” All this time tbe boxer was swinging and uppercutting witn both hands, re- hearsing the whole thing at regulation kinetoscope speed, ard then went on to and what great friends he had made with him. After which he warned THE CaLL reporter that it was not for publication. Harry started his Carson story and the reporter went out and bunted up Jaek McVey in_another partof the car. Said McVey, ““He is as sound as a cannon-ball and every muscle 13 as hard as a rock. Any talk to the contrary is all bosh. Ho was soft when he met Sharkey aud the deal he got that night was the best lesson he ever had in his life. He realized it and has kept in training ever since. He will toe the scratch in beiter condition and be a harder hitter than ever—full of ginger and confidence to put up the battle of nus life.” Mrs. Corbett accompanied her husband on the train. The lady is in good health and spirits and thinksJim has a walkover. Btuart will reach Carson to-morrow Jim is expected to land in San Francisco. phi ey FI1Z LEAsVES FORE CARSON. to Win. NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. Fitzsimmons left this city this afternoon for Carson City, Nev., accompanied by Martin Julian, Dan Hickey, his sparring partner, and Ernest Roeber. The party will stop at Omaha, Denver and Salt Lake and give sparring exhibi- tions. Befor he left Fitz-immons said to Presses: “I have won hitherto and I am going to win again. 1see nothing to pre- vent it.”’ ——— CROWDS AT CAKSON DEPOT. Watchers for Dan Stuart Do Not Cease Their Vigil. CAREON, Nxv., Feb. 10. crowd of sports and curiositysseekers was at the depot this morning looking for Btuart. The camera artists were also on deck focusing at the gathering from the roof of Muller & Spindleér’s candy factory. A lotof people who had a sporty look and wore sweaters stepped from the traiu, but none of them was Stuart. Later, when it was learned that Stuart was in San Fran- cisco and not in Reno, there was peace in camp. Nothing definite has been arrived at re- garding the training quarters of either fighter. The Hot Springs people thought that giving up so many rooms to the fighters and trainers would discommode e of the regular customers who are in- valids at the health resort, and there was Do place to build the hundball court. Ap- plication was next made to the Holstein ranch, owned by Sam Davis. There was room for ten people, but only in ca<e the family would move out, and no decision ‘was reached. A telegram was received to-day asking for the reservation of seats and hotel ac- “Boys, 1'm going to be in the ring on | Children Cry for other and began to chatter like magpies. | then clinched, each half raising from his | both arms, slammed him down | in his seat and in the mixup he got the | longed to the swell set.

A Warrent Now Issued Charging Butler With the Murder of Arthur Preston. It now seems as if John T. Pidwell, one of the youthful attorneys fighting so vig- | orousiy 1n bebalf of Murderer Butler, has | placed himself in a very peculiar posi- tion, owing to his remarkable zeal in be- | half of his client. 1f he does not find | himself fighting a criminal charge on his | | goods. A copy of the complaint wassigned by Pidwell’s associates in the defense of Butler, Messrs. Stone, Black and Leming. In view of this proceeding, section 496 of, the Penal Code of California is brought forward. It states piainly that any person purchasing stolen property shall be liable to prosecution on a charge of felony and subject, on conviction, to imprisonment in the State prison for five years, the County Jail for six months, or both 1nsti- tutions for the time specified. It 1snot likely, owing to the circumstances, that uu{lcharxn will be brought against Pid- well. At 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon an additional charge of murder was booked against Lee Weller at the City Prison. Deputies T. J. Gallagher and E. J. Hea- cock, representing United States Marshal Baldwin, called at the jail for the Aus- tralian prisoner, and as he was brought forth Depuiy Gallagher read to him an additional warrant charging him with murder. The warrant was signea by J. W. War- burton, British Consul-General at this port, accusing Weller of t(he murder of Arthur Thomas Osborn Presior, and de- manding that the arresting officers take in charge all the personal apparel found in the possession of the prisoner atthe time of his arrest. The extradition Jlroceodingl were re- sumed before United States Commissioner Heacock at 2. M. The evidence was not concluded and it is probable that no de- cision will be reached before next week. When court proceedings began Attor- ney Cormac, representing the British Government, directed Commissioner He: cock’s attention to the fact that the pris- oner's attorneys had commenced suit in the State Court to obtain possession of the property found in the possession of the prisoner at the time of bis arrest. This action he believed to be taxen in direct affront of the order committing such roperty into the custody of the United gllu! Marshal, and was therefore a mat- ter of contempt, however unintentional It seemed appropriate in his opinion tha court adjourn in order that contempt pro- ceedings might be began against Butler's atiorneys. Attorney Black at once entered objec~ tion to any such proceeding, alleging that the suit couid not be classified as contem- tuous, inasmuch as no_specific order had been mede committing Butler’s (or Ashe’s) property into the United States Marshal’s care. Investigation of the record of the court showed the point to be well taken. In the face of this discovery the court was powerless to take notice of the replevin suit instituted by Butler's attorneys. Commissioner Heacock, however, de- cided that the matter should be settled then and there, and madean order placing all Butier's possessions in the custody of Marshal dwin_uatil the determination ot proceedings. Despite the order of the State courts the disputed property must now remain in posses-ion of the Federal Government, and any opposing order imight properly be resarded as a contempt of the Commissioner’s authority. The attorneys for the British Govern- ment then iniroduced a photograph of Preston found among Butler’s effects. Strenuous objection was made by Attor- ney Biack tbat this was incompetent to the case oi Weiler, but the picture was in- troduced as evidence over his objection. Next the documents relating to Weller's arrest were introduced 1o demonstrate that all legal requirements had been fully met. The remainder of the afternoon was taken up by Attorney Cormac in & m notonous reading of the documents in- troduced at the preliminary examination of the murder cases in Aagstraiia. When court adjourned he wasstill reading. Charles Delaney’s testimony was to the effect that he had found the body, with a description of the attendant circume stances. Delancy is & Sidney constable. Robert Slate Fieiding, a Sidney printer, knew Preston and of some incidents con- necting his disappearance with Butle, Elias James Thompson deposed regard- ing Butler’s advertising in the Sidney Herald.

Thomas Ratcliffe, a sailor on the British ship Hiddekel, lying at Beale-street wharf, was almost instantly killed yesterday afternoon by falling into the hold of the vessel.
