Cry OF MEXICO. Jan. 2.-Telegrams
from Villa Lerdo give particulars of the
fail of the plaza, last Tuesday, while
bull fight was in progress. About 10,-
600 people we're crowded into the build
ing. " hen the second bull was be-
ing killed, nearly everybody rose
and stood applauding and stamp
ing their feet. Suddenly one
side of the plaza comm enced to
give way. A rush followed, and the
extra movement of the thousands of
spectators only helped to bring about
rapidly and then collapsed, precipitat-
ing the unlucky inmates to the ground.
the distances ranging from ten to
twenty-five feet. Many persons were
buried beneath the debris. Among
them were many ladies of the best fami-
lies of the town.
The crowds on the opposite side Of the
building, which numbered several
thousand, became panic-stricken, and
fell and trampled on one another in
their attempts to reach the outside of
the plaza The bull fighters were also
seized with fear, and made their exit
with the bull closely following. The
trampling of the helpless, and the ago
nized cries of the men and women,
made the place scene of pandemo-
MUM.
1t was not until outside help came to
the aid of the people p1nned down by
the planks and timbels that the unfor-
tunate victims were released from their
painful positions. Many physicians
were called, and the wounds of the peo-
pie attended to. The number of wound
ed will reach into the hundreds, and
while the injuries of q great many of
them are serious and painful, 1t is be-
lieved that no case will prove fatal.
