City tax legality challenged as $70,000 yearly in question
A developing legal challenge led by E A Austin argues that about $70,000 annually in city taxes are illegal.

Hearing of Fitzsimmons Continued One Day In Arkansas
In Little Rock on November 1 Judge Joseph W. Martin heard Martin Julian and Robert Fitzsimmons as Governor Clarke aimed to delay further action. Julian said the case could be continued to tomorrow, with crowd reactions mixing disgust and sarcasm as they left the courtroom. The fighters remained in custody, and talks of forfeit from the club surfaced while they awaited further disposition. Governor Clarke sought to keep the matter confined until the pugilists and managers are disposed of at Little Rock. Julian indicated a promise from the club to send Colonel Murphy, but no progress on a lawyer meant further postponement.
