Great Discontent Over the Aflalr In San

THE PURSE NOT YET TURNED OYER
Fitzslmmons Secures an Injunction Re
straining tho Bank Offlclala From Fay
Ing Sharker the $10,000 Frlze, and
Will Slake a Leital Fight for It.
San" Fkancisco, Doc. 4. Tho city Is di
vided ns to tho result of tho Fitzslmmons
Sharkoy fight, which contlnuos to bo tho
topic of tho hour. No ono quostlona that
Fitzslmmons had tho fight practically
won in tho olglith round, and many as
sort that ho was unjustly deprived of tho
doclslon. Sharkoy's friends vehemently
assort that ho was knocked out by a foul
blow, and la ontltlod to tho honors of vic
tory, Including tho purso of $10,000. A,
third class baso tholr opinions solely upou
tho reports of tho physicians in attend- '
nnco upon Sharkoy. Tho doctors point to
tho swollon and discolored coudition of
tho sailor's skin In tho rogion of tho groin :
as ovidonco of a foul blow, and somo ar- '
dont Fitzslmmons advocates reply that j
this condition was purposely caused by an
injection of a drug Immediately after tho
fight.
A number of physicians and nowspapcr ,
men wero prosont in Sharkoy's room whon I
an examination of hislnjuriosworo mado. I
All said they wero convinced that Shar
koy's condition wns tho rosult of a foul
blow. Many prominent men, howovor, ,
condemn tho decision, nnd rofuso to bo
llovo that thoro was any fouling. Such I
men as I'ollco Commissioner Gunst, Itlloy
Grnnnan, Major Frank McLaughlin, who
was chairman of tho Republican state con
tral commlttco, and others bellovo that
ilMslmmons should havo roeclvod tho Uo-
clslon
It Is pointed out that tho wholo affair
has a dlsagrecablo look. Tho facts aro
citlcd that Lunch, Sharkoy's backer, re
fused to consider tho namo of nny ono as
rcforco, doellnod every man suggested by
Julian nnd refusod to suggest any man
himsolf, lonvlng tho soloctlon with tho fow
Individuals comprising tho Nntlonal club.
As soon as tho club announced its choico
of Wyntt Enrp, famous ns a horsomnn
from Arizona, but not a ring oxpert, tho
odds, which had been 10 to 4 against
Sharkoy, unaccountably rose to 10 to 0,
with moro Sharkoy money offered than
could bo well handled.
It Is rooountod that thero woro whispers
Wednesday afternoon that Sharkey would
bo favored In tho doclslon, and thoso ru
mors roaohlng Fitzslmmons' ears ho re
quested tho club to substitute any one
olso ns rofereU. Even at tho ring side,
when both Julian nnd Fltzslmmous'
stated In Earp's prosonea that they had
been told ho lntondod to roforee unfnlrly,
Earp stood quiotly by and lnslstod'on act
ing as roforoo despite tho protests.
It Is pointed out that Fitzslmmons
fought a clean, skillful, sclentlfio and
winning battle, whllo Sharkoy's fighting
was rough and unfair. For his unfair
ness1 It Is chargod that Sharkoy was not
oven reproved by tho rof eree. It Is clulmed
that tho upper cut on Sharkoy's chin In
tho eighth round was really a knockout
blow, and that no foul blow wiw delivered
by Fitzslmmons, but that Sharkey, when
knookod out, nllogod tho foul blow as un
excuse. All theso constitute tho cno of
Fitzslmmons, by which his attornoys ex
pect to provo tho oxlstenco of a conspiracy
tb doprlvo Fitzslmmons of tho purso of
610,000. Ail Injunction has been applied
for to restrain tho Anglo-California bank
from cashing tho chock until Fitzslm
mons lias ah opportunity to provo tho con
Bp! racy.
Whon Lynch and Itoforoo Karp wont to
tho bank yesterday morning with tho
cheok'paymont was refused by the tollor,
who referred Lynch to Manager LUlen
thai. Tho lattbr. st"d that ho had boon
advised by his attoi that the bank was
In tho'posltlon of an innocent custodian
of tho money which would bo lnvolvod In
tho promlsod litigation, and that for tho
protection of tho bank ho would refuse to
pay It It afterwards dovolopcd that tho
bank wns acting on an ordor from tho of
ficials of tho National club, who requested
that payment of tho chook should bo tem
porarily deforred. As tho chock had been
certified tho right of tho bank to refuse
payment Is questioned, and will form tho
basis of an attack by Sharkoy should ho
bo worsted In tho Injunction.
Meantime, Sharkey Is lu bod with throo
doctors In constant ntteudanco ami ho Is
likely to remain whore ho Is for suvernl
days, tho $10,000 Is lu tho bank and Is also
likely to remain where It Is for somo tlmo,
and Bob Fitzslmmons, without mark or
brnlso and followed by an admiring and
cheering crowd, Is walking tho streets re
ceiving continuod ovations ns tho real
winner of Wednesday night's encounter.
Tho doctors mado no objection to show
ing not only tho condition of Sharkey's
face, but also of his body. In doing so
thoy culled attention to tho fact that there
was nothing to Indicate that ho had re
ceived any particular punishment pre
vious to tho striking of tho blow which
endud tho light This soomod to bo tho
fact, for thoro wore no dlsoolomtlons or
bruisos at nil upon Sharkoy's body except
at tho point bolow tho belt where tho al
leged foul blow is said to have landed.
Dr. Loo, tho man called In to attoud
Sharkoy Wodnosilay night, In splto of tho
fact that other physicians offered their
sorvlcus, is not recognized by tho regular
medloal fraternity of this city, It is
stated by a prominent physician that tho
lnjurlos exhibited by Sharkoy could have
boon caused by u blow on tho uavol.
Fitzslmmons applied In the suporlor
court yesterday for nn injunction restrain
ing the Anglo-California bank front pay
ing Sharkwy tho $10,000 purso. Judge
Sanderson granted the Injunction, audtho
caso will soon bo tried in court.

Special to Kvnxi.xo Hkualu.
Maiunov City, Dec. 4. This community
was shocked this morning on learning of the
dcatli of Edmund Paul and tho circumstances
leading to it. He died at his homo on West
Pino streot at 1:30 o'clock this morning after
an illness of about threo days. Death was
duo to hydrophobia, supposed to have been
contracted from tho bito of a dog, or cat.
On Tuesday morning, shortly aftor break
fast, Paul complained of not feeling woll.
His bones ached, his face was Unshod
and his limbs liecume still". Ho took a
short walk and returned to the house. In tho
ovening ho took a warm drink and retired
early. During tho night ho beenmo very
restless. Onco ho jumped out of bed and
went straight for tho window, but Mrs. Paul
caught him. He turned around and sbircd
at her. He said tho pains in bis head almost
drovo him crazy. Ho returned to bed, but
several hours later jumped up and tried lo
smothor his wife with a pillow, but sho suc
ceeded in fighting him oil'. Dr. J. 11. Itisscll
was called in on Wednesday. Paul was fre
quently attacked witli violent muscular
spasms and nt times it required several
men to restrain him. All that day
and night lie sull'ered intensely. Mor
phine had no cll'ect on him. Yosterday tho
troublo assumed an acute violent stago and
Dr. llisell arrived at the conclusion that tho
patient was siill'ering from hydrophobia. Tho
elder Dr. Itisscll and Drs. A. 11. and H. N.
Sherman wero called in for consultation and
ngrccd in tho diagnosis. The patient dis
played tho usual symptoms of hydrophobia
towards evening. Ho becaino violent,
frothed at tho mouth and showed tho usual
rcpngnanco to water. Violent spasms suc
ceeded eacli othcriu which itrequired six men
to hold him in bed. It is utterly impossible
to describe tho scene that followed when a
drink of water was brought to him. Ho
raised up in lied in spito of tho efforts of tho
six malo attendants and raved liko a maniac.
At times ho uttered straugo sounds which
wero neither lino ttio bark ot n dog, or
human articulation. Many were nnablo to
remain in the room and witness the sutler
ings. At about midnight ho sank from ex
haustion. A friend says that tho deceased
was bitten by a dog when out hunting about
fourteen years ago. His wifo believes a pet
cat bit him. Paul was 37 years of age and is
survived by his wife, hut no children. Ho
was one of tho most prominent and activo
member! of the ( itizens Meam Fire Com
Iiny. lie had been its trustee for several
yeais and asllstant engineer tho last live
