GILLETTE, Colo, Aug. 26.-Five thou
sand people, men, women and children,
witnessed a Sunday bullhght here Sun
day
While many were sickened by the spec
tacle of the poor maddenod bull with
cruel bandcrillos sticking In its flesh, fow
left their seats until the exhibition was
ended by darkness. The spectators paid
81 each for seats at the ring side. The
sheriff offered no serious oposition to the
sport. Though arrests were made before
and after the death Of tho first bull, the
delays were not long, bonds being given
promptly and the fight resumed.
Early in the day the throngs began to
make their way up through Poverty gulch
and by the Midland Terminal railway to
Beaver Park and Gillette. Women Of re-
spectacle homes and women of the pur-
lieus went side by side; clerks and miners
and "sports" mingled in a motley crowd.
A former United States senator, II. w.
Tabor with his wife, occupied box.
Tho performance was late because Of the
from Colorado Springs and Denver.
The Bull Fighters.
The chief actors of the bull fight were
picturesque enough. Arizona Charley's
costume was the regulation cowboy attire,
but he made up for the lack Of gpudy col
ors by his dash and skill in horsemanship.
Ia Charritta, the Mexican senorita and
noted bull fighter is a magnificent and
htf al prl~ In
which she was engaged was almost for
gotten at sight Of her face, ablaze with
enthusiasm, and her wild, graceful rid
ing
Tho toreador, jose Marrerro Cheche, is
a big, powerfully built man, smooth shay
en-, the head of his own company in Mex
leo, whore he is n great favorite, being a
fighter of great skill His costume was
rich in texture and decidedly handsome
in effect. The shirt, jacket and knee
breeches were of black satin, heavily en-
broidered in gold. He wore silk stockings
Of light salmon, sash of the same color
about his waist and tie Of lighter hue
above his immaculate shirt front His
mantle, hanging in heavy folds from his
left arm, was of dark green, lined with
salmon colored silk
Cavlos Garcia, q tall, slender, sharp faced
Spaniard wore a suit of green velvet, with
jacket and breeches prolusoly embroidered
in gold and silver. He wore pink sash
and stockings and his mantle was Of a
gaudy yellow lined with red.
These two men, one a Mexican, the 9TH
or a Spaniard, wore their hair close
clipped, and upon their heads round black
caps, with a. little rosette attached at the
back reaching Co the middle of the head,
from which depended a short queue like
the abbreviated pigtail of a Chinaman.
The third fighter, Antonio Sentria, a
Spaniard, had an immense, bushy head Of
hair. His suit was of such dark maroon
that it looked black IL was embroidered
in. black. His stockings and sash were Of
lavender. His mantle was vivid green,
edged with red
Sheriff Bowers went to Colorado Springs
Saturday night, and has not yet returned.
II is said he is sick.
No Resistance From Sherins.
As a matter of fact, the miners do not
care much for this bull fight business, and
would offer no resistance to proper legal
authorities. The trouble is that in the
crowd are 90 or 90 tough men from sa-
looms. who are itching for a scrimmage,
and Manager Wolf relies upon them to
help in his great game of bluff. Under
Sheriff Brisbane came up and clustered
around a little, telling Arizona Charley
not to be cruel to the bulls and declaring
that no bulls should be killed As on Sat
urday, this was promised freely. They in
tended only to play with the bull, but
when the Gnimal dashed about the ring
with blood streaming from many places
Il was a mercy to put the beast out of his
misery.
The toreador with fine raimont iabbod
and stabbed worse than a clumsy butcher
before the first bull dropped and stiffenod
on the ground Adjutant General Moses
sat with the sheriff s posse, advising them,
urging and imploring them to act with
some force. When the sword thrusts failed
TO promptly dispatch the bull no left his
seat oxolaiming:
Il can't stand this any longer It is
too disgusting for me. If Iwere sheriff Of
this county, I'd go over the range in an
effort to stop this cruelty"
He went TO the telephone and reported
to Governor Mcintyre.
After the first bull was butchercd so
horribly programme of lasso throwing
steer chasing, fancy riding and similar
sports ensuod.
After these sports were over another

another was brought in, and when the
darts were iabbod into the animal Deputy
Sheriff Sterling entered the arena and de-
clared chat the sport must stop He
seized the toreador's sword and attempt
ed to put the animal out Of its misery.
Blood flowed from mouth and Sides A
mule team was brought in and the bull
was dragged out Of sight
This lame conclusion TO the bull fight
ing completely disgusted the audience,
and only the sports remained to sec a prize
fight between local toughs.
Although another fight IS announced
for today the last day Of the fiesta, few
people will attend
