Yinker ex- plained to the justice that he was in love with the widow, and he believed | he could not go through this life with- out her. “I can’t help that,” answered Yin- ker. “She is the only woman I ever loved, and I want to marry her. I ill make her my wife at this moment | if she will only consent.” | “I wouldn't have him,” answered the | widow. “I don't want him to come | to my home, and | want him to keep away from me.

Victor Is an Eccentric Chap and a Hater from "Way Back—His Ree- ord as Governor Marked by Bold Decisions, i By defeating James K. Jones, for-' mer manager of Bryan’s campaign, im their recent senatorial battle, cx-Gov. James P. Clark, of Arkansas, has once more demonstrated the eccentric fight ing qualities which have made him &q prominent as well as so bizarre a fig- ure in western politics. Jones has already served one term as United States senator for Arkans sas. He came up for reelection, his chief opponents being Gov. Jetfersom Davis and ex-Gov. Clark. Davis quick- ly dropped out, leaving the struggle between Jones and Clark. The latter, after a hot campaign, proved the vie~ tor. Ex-Gov. Clark, althongh only 4? years old, has had a long and decidedly eventful—not to say tumultuous—po- litical career. He is in many respects, says the New York World, the typical western statesman, the sort seen of late more often on the stage than in real life. He isa character essentially American, and as incongruou ate as a mailed v prayer meeting “Old Cotton Top in our present sen- goth at a village as Clark has been nicknamed, on account of his ssow- white hair, is very tall, lean and straight as an indian, with a hand- some, distinguished face and a man- ner whose outer dignity at times fails to cloak the impulsiveness and even ferocity of the inner man He is a man who has ever stood firm on all points where he believed honor to be involved, and who, in defense of hosts of ene- his principles, has m mies, damaged his political prospects and has even been carried to the point of physical violen Clark’s first pub - office of note was | that of attorney general of Arkansas, In this position he gave universal sat- HON.

As governor he suddenly brought himself and his state before the pub- lie eye by his action in the proposed Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight. Corbett was at that time champion heavy-weight pugilist of the world. Fitzsimmons had challenged him, the articles had been signed, and all that remained was to fix on a place where the fight could occur without legal in- terference. Hot Springs, Ark., was at last chosen. All arrangements were made, the date was set for October, 1595; every legal obstacle was apparently cleared away and the fight seemed a certainty. But at this juncture Gov. Clark quietly for- bade the men to hold the contest in Ars kansas, declaring it illegal.

The only effect of all these pleadings was to strengthen the governor in his decizion that the fight should not come off in Arkansas.
