The Purse of $10,000 Still Tied Up
by Court'Proceedings.
FITZ’S STRONG LANGUAGE.
Be Reiterates His Statement That He
Was Robbed—Sharkey Declares That
He Had Fitzsimmous Going When
the Knockout Came.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5.—Tom Sharkey,
the sailor who was knocked out by Bob
Fitzsimmons on Wednesday night, was
resting comfortably today. Sharkey gave
his version of the fight.
”I was all right up to the time I was
fouled,” he said. “Fitzsimmons opened
the eighth round rather lively and landed
three lefts, but I was growing stronger all
the time, and I knew I had him going.
. Then he led a straight left, and I tried to
‘close in fer a short arm blow. As I did so
he upper cut with his right and landed
After that I have no remembrance
Of anything until I found myself in bed. ”_
Fitzsimmons was on the warpath. His
denunciation of Referee Earp, the National
club managers, Sharkey and San Francisco
spurts in general has been most bitter.
Fitzaimmons declared that the decision was
robbery pure and simple. He was up at
an early hour. He had a benefit at the
Bush theater and sparred three rounds
with his training partner. In response to
repeated calls he stepped before the curtain
and said:
“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—I can only
say that I have been robbed. I never struck
a foul blow in my life, and the blow that
put Sharkey out last night was a right
hand upper cut that landed where I intend-
ed it to—in the stomach. I knew before
the fight that Earp had been ‘fixed’ to give
the decision to Sharkey, for ‘both my man-
ager, Martin Julian, and myself had been
so informed by many persons, including
such men as Police Commissioner Mose
Gunst, Riley Grannan and others equally
Well known.
“I have learned today that Earp and
Lynch. Sharkey’s manager, have been as-
sociated in racing for the past two years,
and it is no wonder they played together
in last night’s game. As for the managers,
so called, of the National Athletic club, I
am reliably informed they were in the deal.
There is no organized club of that name,
and the two men, Groom and Gibbs, who
conducted the event went into it solely to
make money. ‘
Did Not Strike Foul.
“I believe I was induced to come out
here on the promise Of a $10,000 purse for
a match with Sharkey and have been de-
liberately robbed , of what rightfully be-
longs to me. I did not strike a foul blow
——I never did that in my life—while Shar-
key fouled me repeatedly. Each time I
protested, but the referee paid no attention
to Sharkey’s tactics. If I fouled the sailor,
why did they not give him half an hour to
recover in, the same as in the Choynski
match?
“I offered to go on, but the referee would
not consent. I believe there will be no
more boxing in San Francisco until a club
under reputable managers is formed. In
conclusion, I beg to say that I am ready
to meet any man living, at any time and,
at any place, under reputable managers
and with an honest referee. ”
Fitzsimmons formally began suit in the
superior court today to Obtain possession
of the $10,000 purse. The action is direct-
ed against the Anglo-California bank,
which holds the certified check, and against
Thomas Sharkey, John Doe and Richard
Doe.
After alleging that boxing matches are
allowed in San Francisco by virtue of an
ordinance, and that the National Athletic
club had secured a permit to hold the ex-
hibition, Fitzsimmons alleges that there
were corruption, collusion and fraud on
the part of Sharkey, the National Athletic
club and Referee Earp, their purpose being
to swindle the plaintiff, no matter which
was the victor. , To confirm this position
Fitzsimmons alleges that the persons so
conspiring refused to agree upon a choice
of referee, so that by the terms of the
match the club had the privilege of choos-
ing areferee at the ringside, and the choice
Of Earp was in fulfillment with the con-
spiracy. Touching the outcome of the
fight, Fitzsimmons avers that he“disconi-
fited the said defendant Sharkey so that
said defendant was unable to proceed with
said boxing exhibition.”
No Money For Sharkey Yet.
The Anglo-California bank declined to
cash the check of the National club for
$10,000 when it was presented at the bank
for payment by Referee Earp and Daniel
Lynch, Sharkey’s manager. It was pre-
sented only a few minutes after the bank
was opened, but Attorney Kowalski, act-
ing upon the instructions of his client,
Fitzsimmons, had already taken steps to
stop the payment.
When the check was presented to the
paying teller, he announced that he had
been instructed not to pay the money and
referred the applicants to Manager Lilien-
thal. They went into the manager’s
ofiice, remained ten minutes and then
went away without the money. A little
later Manager Lilienthal announced that
the bank had been formally enjoined, and
that it would hold the money until the
court rendered a decision.
The announcement was made at Harry
Corbett’s poolroom ' that all bets' on the
Sharkey-Fitzsimmons fight would be paid
today on the basis of Referee Wyatt Earp’s
decision awarding the victory to Sharkey
In the eighth round because of a foul.

BEARS SOARE FARMERS.
A South Jersey Settlement Arousod Over
Rpids by the Beasts. 9 ’
EGG HARBOR CITY, N. J., Dec. 5.—Two
roaming black bears, said to be very large
and fierce, were reported to be terrorizing
the farmers and hunters in the vicinity of
Germania, a small farming settlement
about four miles southeast of this city.
A number of gunners, with hounds, and
headed by David B. Hand, a sportsman of
this city, started out and are scouring the
woods. in search of the two fierce beasts.
The bears, it is said, are each of an unusu—
ally large size, and their roars can be
heard plainly for quite a distance, and es-
pecially at nighttime. .
The beasts were last seen~9n the farm of
Henry Miller by the owner himself.
Searching «parties have been‘ organized
among his neighbors, and they are deter-
mined to kill or capture the animals,
which have been scarce in this section for
years.
Considreable live stock and fowl are re-
ported missing from the farms in the vi-
cinity of Germania, and the settlement is
aroused over the reports of the big raids
made by the beasts. Some of the farmers
in the vicinity are keeping their children
home from school for fear they might be
attacked by the animals, and those who
do go to school are escorted by men armed
with rifles, while few women go out any
considerable distance without proper pro-
tection.
Several trails have been discovered, and
the hunters believe that the bears are lo-
cated in the large Clarks Landing swamps, .
where a black bear was killed about ten
years ago. The bears have not yet been
overtaken by the hunters.

Young Thorne Ran Over a Girl Cyclist
and Now His Father Will Pay.
BROOKLYN, Dec. 5.—If the example of
the Long Island courts is followed, these
people who now enjoy running down bi-
cycle riders will not find the fun quite so
jolly in the future.
A case has just been decided, that of
Frances Daugherty, the 12-year-old daugh-
ter of former Assistant Postmistress Mrs.
Clara Dougherty of Garden City. She was
riding her bicycle at the Queens county
fair grounds, Mineola, on Sept. 12 last,
when she was run down 'by .William
Thorne, the son of a wealthy hotel keeper
of Roslyn, who was driving a Spirited
horse. ,
Sherifi Henry Debt and his jury of
Queens county, which has just been inves-
tigating the case, have given Miss Dangli-
erty a verdict of $10,000 for the damages
which she received. , .
.The injuries to the young woman were
the result of extreme carelessness on the
part of Thorne, for the way was perfectly
clear, and he could easily have avoided
her. He drove his horse at an excessive
rate of speed and struck the girl without
any warning whatever, throwing her from
her wheel and breaking her leg in two
places, besides inflicting other serious
bodily injuries, which have kept her con-
fined at home ever since. '
It is said by the physicians who have at
tended her that Miss Dougherty’s injuries
will permanently disable her.
Many accidents of this kind have hap-
pened to bicycle riders, whose rights upon
the road are very seldom recognized by a
certain class of drivers of vehicles. The
fact that very few who have caused in-
juries in this way have been punished by
the law has made these accidents very com-
mon, but if the courts would take the steps
which have been followed in Queens coun—
ty there is every reason to believe that the
danger from this careless driving would be
abated. .
In the present case young Thorne has
left Queens county since the proceedings
were instituted against him, but it is be—
lieved that his father will settle the verdict.
A TERRITORIAL CONTEST.
Election of a Delegate For a Proposed
Seat In Congress In Doubt.
MUSCOGEE, I. T., Dec. 5.—-Should the
Indian Territory be allowed a delegate in
congress there will be a contest as to who
will be awarded the seat, there being a dis~
agreement as to the result of the recent
election. Indian Agent D. M. Wisdom has
issued a certificate of elect-ion to George E.
Nelson, National Democrat, of Muscogee,
as delegate. Colonel Thomas Marcum,
regular Democrat, of this city, also receivod
a certificate from the Indian agent, show-
ing that he had received the majority of
votes cast at the late delegate election, but
the omission from his~ ballots of the words
“For delegate to fill existing vacancy, ”
which were placed on the Nelson ballots,
entitles Mr. Nelson, according to the de-
cision of the Indian agent, to represent the
territory in congress if the delegate is al-
lowed at all.

lied.‘
