Ono of the peculiar things noticeable- this
neighborhood during the fall and winter
of the present season Is the vast number of
rats and mice , especially the latter , which
are. making themselves obnoxious 1C veil
those most wise In rodent lore appear to
have at hand no satisfactory explanation
of why these pests should now be- more nu
merous than at any other time , since suf
ficient grain for their sustenance can be
found hero even during the most meager of
hat vests , but it Is nevertheless true that
their appearance in the ferro now existing
Is a phenomenon hitherto unprecedented nnd
traps and devices of all kinds for their cap
ture and destruttlon are In great demand.
Their ravages are not by any means confined
to the fields , but the little Invaders have
Insinuated themselves Into occupied resi
dences , vacant buildings outhouses , boxes ,
bins anil erlbs stores nnd churches , In fact ,
almost everywhere that the slightest shel
ter or hiding place can be found. To make
their prtstncoall the more nggiavatlnB. the )
run hither and thither In broad daylight ,
fearlessly showing themselves at long dis
tances from places of rufugo , destroying
stores of sccil and grain nnd otherwise mak
ing thcmsolvei generally obnoxious. The-
most probable c\planantlon of their appcar-
ancu In such unusual numbers Is that Jbcv
wore concentrated b ) the high waters of
last Juno from the lower lands nnd forced
to thn higher situations , whcro buildings
vero located , nnd that they have since
preferred such a location to that from which
they ( led from the rising waters.

SAN IFRANCISCO. Dec. 3. The city h di
vided as to the result of the ritzolinmons-
Slmrkey fight , which continued to bo the
topic of the hour. FKzslmmons' friends us-
sert lu > .had the fight practically won In the
eighth round nnd many a-aert that he was
unjustly deprived of the decision. Sharke's
friends vehemently assert that he was
knocked out by a foul blow and was consequently
quently , tinder the "rules , entitled to the
honors of victory , including the purse of
$10,000. A thhd clcas Inne their opinions
solely upon the reports of the physicians |
In nttendnncp upon Sharkey. The doctors I
point to the swollen nnd dlscolmod condition j
'
of the sailor's skin In the region of the '
groin as evidence of a foul blow nnd some !
nrdeut ntzslinmons' ndvocates icply that I
this ( omlltloi. vvas purpose ! ) caiMcd by an i
Injection of a drug Immediately after the
light.
A number of physicians and newspaper
men weit present lu Sharkey'a room thlo
afternoon when an examination of his In
juries were made. All were convinced that
Sharko's condition was the result of a foul
blow. Many prominent men , however , con
demn the decision and refuse to believe that
there was any fouling. Such men as Po
lice Commissioner Moso Gunst , Rlley Gian-
nan , Frank McLatighlln and otheis bellove
that Fitzslmmcns should have leeelved the
decision Rlley Grannan was betting heavily
on Kltzfllmmnns , having laid some bets at
the odds of 100 to 40.
Vl'fX WILL MAKE A SUIT.
U Is recounted that there were whispers
yestetday afternoon that Sharkey would be
favored In the deqUlon and these rumors
reaching Fltzslmmons' ears , he requested
the club to substitute any one else as ref
eree. Evet nt the ring side , when both
Julian and ritj-slmmons stated in Earp's
presence that they Ijod been told ho Intended
to referee unfalily. Eaip stood quietly band /
and Insisted on acting as refcieo despite the
protests It U nssertcd that the upper
cut on Sharkey's chin in the eighth round
was really a knockout blow , nnd that nt >
foul blow was dclivored by Fltzalmmona.
but that Sharkey , when knocked out. alleged
the foul blow as an escu.se All this con
stitutes the csjo of FKzslmmons. by which
his attorneys expect to piove tbe existence
of a conspliacy to deprive Fit/slmnions of
the purse of $10.000. An Injunction luu
ueen applied for to restrain the Anglo-Cali
fornia bank from ensiling the National
club a check until Fltzalmmous has an op-

SHARKEV BADLY HURT.
Tom Sharke ) uaa a dclapldntcd looking
pugilist as ho lay on MM bed today. The
only visible brulros wcro two on the left side
of Ma face , one a cut which had rather
neatly divided the left eyebrow lengthwise * .
"Ho gave me that cut with his clbo.v
when he fouled me curly In the fight , " snld
Sharkey.
The doctors mauc no oujcction at nil
about showing not only the condition of
Slmrkcy's face , but alto of his body. In
doing so they called attention to the fact
that there was nothing to Indicate that he
hail received any particular punlyhment pre
vious to the striking of the blow which
ended the fight. This seemed to be the fact
for there were no discoloration or bruU < es
at all upon Sharkey's body , except at the
point below the belt , whcro the alleged foul
blow Is said to huvo landed. Here there
waa n decided swelling and other evidences
of Injury , which It was easy to conceive
would have prevented a man from continuing
a boxing match or an ) other form of exer
tion
"I was all right up to the tlmo I got that
foul lick. " Sharkey said in answer to a
question. "I had not been hurt at all "
The three physicians all concurred in the
statement , made very positively that Shar-
Kcy had been fo'ilcd. the physical evi
dences , they considered , being Indisputable.
"Ho vvas hit there and hit hard , " said
Dr. Ragan
llob Fltsimmons was about town today.
ROI1ERT WILL RETIRE.
"I foil In among a gang of thieves , " vvas
Flt7simmons' opening remark , when spoken
to about the decision "I came out hereto
to San Francisco expecting to get a square
deal , but I find I made a mistake , ns I was
made the victim of ono of the meanest Jobs
over put through on earth. The referee vvas
selected to give a decision against me , nnd
ho carried out his part of the program Ho
far as I am concerned I ran say that I never
fought fairer In my life , while Sharke )
fouled mo deliberately at least twenty times
I appealed to the referee , but ho took no
notlco of my protests , and told mo to go on
and fight Once In a clinch Earp tried to
separate us by pressing his hand against
my face. Ills finger nails penetrated my
cyo and cut the flesh on the Inside of the
