Rats Pitted Against a Ferret.

Los Angeles Tribune.
Not more than dozen sports were
given the tip that a rat-killing match
was to take place yesterday afternoon,
not 100 yards from the pOStOffice. A
Tribune reporter got wind of the affair
and succeeded, after much perseverance,
in becoming a spectator.
Promptly at the hour set cage of rats
was forthcoming. A little later two
youthful sports appeared on the scene
with another big cage, which contained
young ferret. 1t was now evident that
the promoters intended to have ferret
versus rat contest. A big rat was next
placed in the cage with the ferret, and
the fun began. 1t is perhaps unneces-
Sary to say that ferretS cannot see in the
daytime, but their smelling instinct is
very keen and well developed. The rat
managed to keep out of the way of the
ferret for fully thirty seconds, but at
last the ferret got hold of Mr.. Rat, and
short but lively fight took place, until
the ferret got hold of the rat by the neck,
and the uneven contest was soon ended.
The operation was continued until four
teen rats had been placed hOrS de COM
bat, and the time occupied by the fer
ret in annihilating them was exactly five
minutes. At one time there was some
tough fighting, as two rats happened to
get in the cage at the same time, and
they made things extremely hot for the
ferret for a while, but one finally sue
cumbed, and it did hot take long to de-
mOliSh the remaining one.
