VOL. XXII. .IICKENSI S. C., THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 1894- NO 19. TO FIGUT IN TIRE WO0D THE LAST REEORT OF THE SPORTS IN FLORIDA. Final Manifesto of the Ouval Athletic Club-Corbett and Mitchell to Met Under a Ttnt-Authoritis on the Alert. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 17.-The fight will not take place in Duval county unless the ccurts restrain the If sheriff. Sheriff Brownard declares that he will obey the Governor. There has been a good deal of guessing as to what the sheriff would do among those who did not know iim. Some say that he would see his lawyers and do what they told him to do; others said that he would not interfere, because his law. yers had already told him that lie would lay his bondsmen liable to a suit for damages and that he would diso 4 bey the Governor to protect them. The sheriff does not believe that there is any danger of a suit for damages in case lie interferes, and that if time does develop a case that it will prac tically amount to only a farce, because the club will be compelled to prove specific damages to make a case-a thing which can't be done if the light is prevented. In an interview this morning on the subject, 'he sheriff said: "I have been ordered by the Go vern or to stop this fight, and I propose to obey orders. IIe told me he would Diace at ray dispasal all the force at his command, if necessary, to prevent it. Ills instructions I am going to car ry out. in all sincerity, whether they are unpleasant or not. I shall do my duty," said the sheriff, emphatically, "as it is laid down to me by the Governor." "Will you ask the Governor to de clare martial law ?" "I will not unless I see indications of such stubborn resistance as will make me unable to cope with the difliculty. I am satisfiled that if the plan for the fight is persisted in, unless some inter vention is secured there will be trou. ble. The people here should, in my judgment, look squartly at the true situation, and make every effort to prevent the forcing of an unpleasant 4 issue. I have already made mi y plans to prevent this meetinL, and I know that they will not miscarry, unless their execution be restrained by action of the courts." President Bowden, of the Athlet.ic Club, notwithsta-iding the declarat ion of the Governor and the sheriff, offers to bet $20,000 that the ight will come off at the appointed time and place. THE' CLUn'S FINAL M. ANIFEsTO. Tonight the club furnished the 4k Southern Associated Press correspond ent the following: Jacksonvitle, Fia., January 17, 1894. The Duval Athletic Club make this their final and most positive announce ment that the Corbett-Mitchell contest will take place on January 25th, 1894. Reports have bebn sent out that Gov ernor 11. L. Mitchell has ordered troops to Jacksorvile for the sole purpose of 3uppressing the contest. Notwith standing these reports, the club reiter ates its past assertions, and for the past weeic has been arranging for an emeigency of this kind. Should the troops be sent here, while the club does not believe that any violence would be participated in by them yet we will not subject our patrons to the slightest danger of any kind. So thorough and complete are our arrangements, that should any emergency of any kind arise on the morning of the 25tI', we are prepared to handle 6,000 people with the greatest convenience. This will be no Itchburg affair, where the people were subjected to a long, tedi ous and hot ride, but it willl be done quickly and conveniently as though it occurred in the arenai, now ready for the contest. Once more we say t.o all friends and lovers of boxing: If you are in Jacksonville on the 2-ith, of ,Jan uary, 1894, and care to see the Corbett and Mitchell contest, you can do so af ter arranging for the necessary tickets. DUVA l AT1IILETrIC CLU'B A CARD) P'itO COiISETT. 'The followin't statemsent ft om ('-r be has also been givei "u' Mayport, 1-l '., .J.i. 17. I take this opportunity of informing my friends thbroughout the country that Ii have received assurances from thle 'Duval Athlet.ic Club today which wvar rart me in saying that the contest be tween 'Charles Mitchell and myself will positively tauke place in .Jackson ville, or in that clt,v's immediate vicin ity, on Janunary 25, providedl both of the principals appear in the ring. . JAM~s ,J. CORn-TT'u. T'O F1(0iilT IN TVhF w~OOi)S.. The above stat.ement by the club means that the light will be fought in the woods. Everything now dlepends on th~e abil 1ty of the promoters of the fight to keep the place sei et.ed a secret from the authorit-es, for if it becomes Anown, G.overnuor Mitchell wvill un doubtedly have troops on the scene. It 15slundtrstojod that the club peopple have purchased a huge circus tent, capable of holding 6,000 people, anid will b)ring the men together under the canvas. As to the probable~ location of the contest, no point will be giveni by the club ollicials. TLhey know that if the ight is to occur, even in the woods, without interference from the Glovernor, everything must be as se *cret as the grave. It was thought that the fight might occur in St. John's county, where St. Augustine is located, but Sheriff l'erry of that county is ats determined as Sheriff llrownard of t his (D)uval) coun. ty. Troday Sheriff l'erry said: "I dle sire to say that iher Corbett. and Mitch ell ight, will not take place in St. ,John's county, if the Governor orders. I will do my duty according to oath as sheriff of tis county, if I have t.o call -v upon the State troops. WVhen Charlie Mitchell asked me about the matter, I told him that I would have to stop the fight in this county, if crdlered, and that I would pull ene man or the other out of the ring. It, takes two to make alfight. I wish to emphasize my posi tion fn thi3 matter pub)licly, tha~t there can be no misunderst andingt with re gard to my oflicial attitudo toward the affapi." AUTIIORLITIES ON THE AL~ERT. The probabilities are, therefore, that some point in Duval county will be se lected for the mill, as tinder the amended articles of agreement, the men must either meet in St. John's or Duval county. It goes without saying however, that the State authorities ar2 on the alert, andt wi use everyeffor.t to prevent even a secret light. Gov 3rnor Mitchell is sidd to be thoroughly aroused, and it is asserted that he will manage to keep himself informed of the plans of the club and try to sur round whatever spot may be selected for the fight with State troops. "Snapper" Garrison, the famous jockey, who has been selected as time keeper by the Duval Athletic Club, will reach here in the morning. Another Atlanta Sensation. A,TLANTA, Jan. 17.-Will . a Givens, who has no settled occupation, was ar rested here this afternoon for attempt Ing to kill his wife. About 8 o'clock this morning, Mrs. Givens was w iked from a deep sleep by the loud report of a pistol in her room. She sprang up wildly, instantly awake. She screamed aloud and threw out her arms for her usband, whom she supposed to be dleeping by her side. Ile was not there ind she screamed all the louder at find ng herself all alone and unprotected. A second and a third pistol shot quick ly followed and Mrs. Givens felt a itinging sensation about her head. She Fell back upon her p'llow which was rapidly reddening with her own blood. She heard the voice of her husband a row feet away calling to her not to be rrightened and not to scream. She fell back upon her pillow exhausted and begging for mercy. Her husban:1 made a light and very much excited, walke# over to her side and discovi red that she was shot. Ile helped her to itop the flow of blood and after day light went in search of a physician. It was not until 9 o'clock that Givens tel ephoned to the police. Officers Barrett and Bone placed him undt-r arrest and carried him to police headquarters sus peating him of having done the shoot ing. Givi-ns protested innocence and said that he was awakened by the shots. Ile sprang out of bed at the sound of the first shot and could dis Linctly see that some one was firing through the window from the outside. Hle tried to shield himself from the fly Ing bullets, and not until the firing ceased did lie make any noise. Then he called to his wire admonishing her to quiet herself and stop sceaming. Mrs. Givens indicated to the officers her belief that her husband had done the shooting. She felt morally certain of it, although the evidence was mainly circumstantial. Officer Bone believes there i-i no doubt of Given's guilt. Ile says lie carefully measured some foo prints beneath the window and compared the measurements with the dimensions of Givens' feet and the two correspond exactly. IIe also accurately measured the horse tracks in the yard and aft.er wards measured the feet of a horse in a lot which adjois Givens' home, and found that the feet and the tracks were of the same size exactly. Oflicer Bone says he thinks Givens took the horse out of the lot and tied it outside his gate intending to made his escape on it after killing his wife. An exhaustive search was made for the pistol, but it was not found. IIe has employed Mr. F. M. Mitchell to defend him. Mrs. Givens says that her husband was al ways jealous of her and frequently ac. cused her of receiving visits from a well known physician, which insinua tion she denounced as without founda tion. This feeling of jealousy was a frequent source of trouble. Dr. Pope a Candidate. NE~wiwiRRv, S. C., Jan. 1G.-I met Dr. Sampson IPope today and when I said, "at representative of The State, Doctor," the organizer of the "three for-a-quarter" caucus and later Till wau't co-adjutor, gave me room to pass, BaYing "I never read The State." But when it was found thata subscrip tion was not wanted, but merely an in ter-vie .v, the brother of the aisociate jus tice smiled again, and to my question whether ho would be a candidate for Governor to succeed Governor Tillman, he read(ily rep)lied: "I am a candidate for the oflice oi Governor, subject to the action of the Reform coni vention, which as to be held some time during the spring or summer. Permit me to say that the oilier gentlemen, w'hose names have been mentioned for Governor, are all st.rong personal friends ot mmae, and in the conduct of the can vass nodaimg will be raid1 or done by me to interiere with that friendship. ~The success of the RLeformn movement, is, in my judcment, paramount to the success of any indhividuial; anti the success of the movement is what, we are all striving for.

I wish you we go and see what Carl and Jessie doing; down at the branch I reck and feet all wet, and they have b got dreadful colds. I can't keep tir away from that branch." "Didn't you play in the branch, dear, when you were a child ?" Said I "Yes." she said mournfully, "I nothing couldn't hurt tme then; were not raised so delicate in th days. You know, I used to ride to plantation, twelve miles, and b; again in a day, and bring a b::g of fr oit the horn of the saddle; but the gi couldn't do it now.

JACKSONVILLE, Jan 1G.--The DU val Athletic Club has played its last card in the contest it has L-aen waging with Governor Mitchell and has lost. That card can8istcd of a personal appeal by Manager Bowden to the Governor, begging him to cease his opo-)sition and allow the Club to pull ofl the Corbett Mitchell mill publicly in Jacksonville. But the Governor was obdurate, and told Bowden that the 1.ht should not t take place in Jacksonville or il Florida, it lie could prevent it. Tihe interview bttween Bowden anti Governor Mitchell took place in the !atter's oilce at Tallahassee, the State capital: whither B-wden went last night. Attorney General Lamar was f prescnt at the interview. It is under stood that Bowden'p attitude towards the Governor was very much that of the suppliant. iIe almost implored the Governor to Jet, up, but the executive is far from being iuove:l by Bowden's hu- C tuility and roundly denounced the club t people for their ins ulent 'attituie, osp3- - cialiy in the mtatter of issuing state ments to the public in whi'h the Gov- d ernor's c.)ndu t tomArd1 th3 club w.As f characterize'l as "'-nteiuptible aid ty. t ranical."'
