Sullivan Seeks Rematch With Corbett After Loss
John L. Sullivan declares to friends in the city his plan to challenge James J. Corbett again to recoup money lost in New Orleans. He predicts victory in twenty one rounds and remarks on a disputed fight outcome while recalling a prior controversy over money. A prairie fire in Bear River Valley destroys over one thousand cattle and injures men, forcing cattlemen to battle the blaze as stock perishes in the flames. In New York the Times notes desertion from the Republican party by Wayne McVeigh and ex-Judge Quoley amid forthcoming signatures.
