ZAcATECAs, Mex, Oct. 3.-An anna
teur bull fight was one of the attrac.
tons at the little town of Mezquitic, in
the state of Jalisco, yesterday, and it
resulted in tragedy. In the last act
two vicious bulls were turned into the
arena at the same time. One of them
gored a banderillero to death and then
leaped the barrier that separated the
audience from the ring. The animal
gored all with whom he came into con-
tact, and created such panic among
the spectators that in the rush that
was made for the entrance three per-
sons were trampled to death and many
others injured.

Judge Jackson of the Cowley county
court yesterday passed sentence upon
a doomed man. A good sized crowd
was present when the court spoke to
Reed to receive his sentence. When
the voice of Judge Jackson was heard
to say that the man before the bar of
justice should be confined one year in
the penitentiary, at the expiration of
which time he should hang by the
neck until he was dead, everyone
present seemed fOrcibly to realize the
awfulness of the sentence. But none
could realize the blow that fell upon
Reed. He seemed crushed by 1t, and
plead that gross injustice had be-
fallen him. He said he hoped the
only just Judge of all humanity
would forgive all those who had
appeared against him. Judge Jack
son created quite a sensation by his
speech. By his touching remarks he
brought tears to the eyes of many
of his listeners, and closed his speech
with the doom of a condemned man.
In this state, judging from the
past, the sentence virtually means
imprisonment for life. The motion
for new trial will probably be ap-
pealed.
