A Small Excitement,

The quiet air of Chinatown had
quite a breeze at noon to-day. A
young native boy who evidently had
INDUCED in too much saki had got
into row in Chinese restaurant
on Hotel street. A number of Chi
nese jumped on the boy who show
ed himself as a veritable Sullivan
and knocked the long tailed heath
ems around in most scientific man
ner. He would, however, have sue
cumbed to superior numbers il DR..
Monsarrat, who was passing by,
hadn't interfered. The police arriv-
ed and peace reigned again. No
body hurt and no arrests.
A Chinese baggage express, how
ever, took part in the excitement
and a lively runaway resulted. The
horse succeeded in knocking the
cart against every telephone post,
damaging it considerably, but was
finally stopped outside the Pan
theon. Fortunately none of the
numerous carriages around at that
time of the day were run into.

BATTLING WITH A RATFIsH.
Queer Marine Monster Killed OF
the California Coast.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
Oakland-The Italian settlement at the
foot of Franklin street was agitated this
morning by the capture of a monster of
the deep. An Italian fisherman gave bat
tie to the queer fish, and he says ne will
long remember the encounter. The cap
ture was made near Goat Island. Il took
several hours to land the FISH; and during
the contest two boats were nearly wreck
ed The Italians call the monster a rat
fish," because it has somewhat the ap-
pearance Of rat. The fish weighs 245
pounds. and measures eleven feet from
the tip Of the nose TO the end of the tail
The tail itself, which was used by the fish
as means of defense, measured six feet
IN length. The story Of the battle was
told by Lagoria He employs the fisher
men to 70 out every morning and fish for
him.
There is one old man in my employ"
said Lagoria today who seems TO have
particularly bad luck in catching freaks
Several days ago he caught a man-eater
while fishing near Goat Island and had
an exciting encounter. This morning the
same old fisherman had his lines out near
Goat Island when he captured the ratfsh.
He was alone at the time, and was some
what excited when the monster came 10
the surface of the water and made straight
for his little boat, lashing its tail in ali
directions. The fisherman had to devote
his efforts in getting way from his catch
He shouted for assistance, and three com
panions, who were fishing in the vicinity
came to his rescue. After a long struggle
they succeeded in drowning the monster
and towed him to shore. A fish that is
eleven feet long and weighs 2i5, with tail
almost like a rod of iron, can do some
fighting when it gets mad: That is what
my fishermen found out when they tried
to land the monster. The man who made
the capture has given up the sea for few
days. He is a little superstitious about his
captures and does not want to do any more
fishing for a while. ~. 4
THE Italians call 1t 'ratfish but that
is not the proper name. We have been in
the fish business for d great many years
but we have never had anything like this
before. 1t is not a shark. The tail is
very peculiar and has great strength. That
is its weapon of defense. The men who
caught the fish tell me that the monster
can work terrible havoc with it's tail"
