COP OPENED THE RAT BAG.


This is the story of thrilling mid
night adventure with policeman which
]. H. Fisher, a professional rat catcher,
told yesterday
On Wednesday night, Mr.. Fisher says,
he visited club on Fifth avenue, in
the neighborhood of Twenty-third
street, where he had contracted to rid
the dining rooms, kitchen and cellar of
rats. Mr.. Fisher intimates that it was
very swell club, but would not say
whether it was the Union Club or not.
Any way he had the contract, and he
worked from o'clock in the evening
until midnight, with the result that he
bngged about fifty rats.
Mr.. Fisher never kills rats on the
premises where he catches them. No
good rat catcher would, he says. At
his home he has machiIe of his own
manufacture which will make away
with hundred rats at q clip, and, ac-
cordingly, at 1880 o'clock, he started for
home with the bag of rats slung on his
shoulder. While he was passing the
corner of Twenty-third street, he says,
policeman on the opposite corner came
over toward him on run.
"Ha, ha" said the policeman, ac-
cording to Fisher, "where are you
going"
None of your business" Fisher says
he replied.
Then the policeman, touching the bag
lightly with his club, said
$50 that's the swsg, is it ?'
''Nary swag," answered Fisher.
''Ha, ha !" said the policeman again,
"and what have you in the bag then %
''Rats ?" yelled Fisher. and he solem-
ly AYERS that the chances of the police
man taking offence at the reply never
occurred to him at the time.
But the policeman did take offence.
There was not commissioner in sight,
so he gently upper cut Mr.. Fisher,
thereby rousing that individuals indig-
nation.
"How dare you ?" began Mr.. Fisher,
but punch in the neck quieted him.
Then he felt the bag pulled from his
shoulder and saw the policeman, a
smile of triumph on his face, undoing
the mouth. A moment later the po-
liceman got the bag open and plunged
his hand in as far as he could get it.
In fraction of second, says Fisher,
the policeman pulled his hand out, and
the rat catcher says there were at least
seven rats hanging to it.
"Wow wowm yelled the policeman,
and he flung his hand around wildly,
thereby scattering rats in all directions.
The remaining forty-three rats took
the tip from their companions, and one
after another leaped from the bag and
made their escape.
''For few minutes" said Mr.. Fish
or solemnly, ''the street was full of
rats. They didn't scare me at all, for [
am used to them, but you should have
seen that cop dance around. Oh, it
was too funny. Ha ha ha"
Mr.. Fisher wound up his tale with q
vivid description of the policeman run
ming across Twenty-third street. his
coat tails flying out straight behind
him. There was no work for the rat
killing machine that night, Mr.. Fisher
said in conclusion, and he returned
home with an empty bag.
No one of the Tenderloin policemen
will admit that he had an encounter
with rats on Tuesday night, and Mr..
Fisher says he forgot to take the po.
liceman's number. He viii cot make
any complaint to the police commits
sioners, ne says, because he thinks the
Joke was all on the policeman.-M Y.

The SAME OLD RACKET.
Trouble Growing Out of School
Elections.
An Unsubstantiated Charge of Colo
nization-ReVenge in River
side District.

The same old racket that followed
the school elections year ago has set
in upon the heels OF the election last
Saturday. Only few of the rural dis
tricts have been heard from, but in a
majority OF them there is dissatisfaction
and woe and kicking. One unsuccess-
full candidate called at the county
superintendent office yesterday to
notify that official that the election in
his district had been attended by
fraud. In proof of it he pointed to the
circumstance that after having held
the Office of trustee six years he had
been defeated for reelection. 1t had
been done, he said, by running bands
OF Mexicans and other ineligible voters,
who did not have the cause of educa-
ton at heart and cared nothing for
keeping proper officials. The charge Of
colonization seemed so serious that the
superintendent Immediately began to
investigate. He naturally inquired
first the number of votes poled.
Eleven" replied the visitor. eleven
