Bull Fights Given in Colorado
in the True Mexican
Fashion.
Animals Cruelty Tortured, but
the Officials Do Not
Interfere.
Little Appreciation Shown by
the Thousands in At
tendance.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, Aug. 28.-
Another bull was killed in the arena at
Gillett Sunday in the presence of 5000
people and the work was done in the
style of Spain and Mexico. The first
bull turned into the arena was an ex-
ceedingly tame animal even after the
darts were in him. He refused to fight
and the multitude cried for new ami
NAL. Arizona Charley appeared to be
equally disgusted and he upbraided the
band of cowboys that drove the bull into
the arena. The next animal made a
fight for his life, but its fight was quick
ly over. Chieta, the king of the arena
in not only Mexico, but in Spain, made
two stabs at the animal and then left
him practically dead, but the Mexicans
with the red cloaks released the creature
and made him dart at them. One came
within an ace Of losing his life and
there was great excitement in conse-
Guence, especially among the little party
from the country to which the in
dividual belonged. Not few women
tainted.
At the ring not single shout or ap-
approval was heard. Not an applaud
ing hand was raised. For four minutes,
which to many seemed to stretch into
10, the bull had fought with death and
men in the full sight Of them all, blood
squirting from gaping sword wounds
Just back of his right shoulder, yelling
from his mouth and nostrils, fecking
his own sides and forming great pools
on the ground. For over two or three
minutes the bull stood motionless al
most, save for heaving sides as he gave
long gasps for breath, then fell. Only
few seconds he lay quite still. Then
he slowly struggled to his feet and
leaned against the heavy barrier of
the bull ring as if for support, pitifully
weak from the crimson streams fast col
oring the ground about him. Then he
gathered himself and started slowly
forward.
from side to side. For 20 feet the bull
advanced, weak, bloody, faltering, then
fell again, his fresh, warm blood welled
up little over ele clotted mass on the
animals shoulder, at every step lessen
ing the pulsation of the heart; A
Spaniard in gaudy costume stepped up
to the quivering beast and sent the sharp
point of sword blade into the neck of
the animal, swapping the spinal chord.
The legs of the animal drew up con-
vulsively and then life, clung to so des-
perately and long, was gone.
1t was simply an exhibition of cruelty
and was not enjoyed at all by the
crowd.
Over a hundred deputy sheriffs were
in attendance and the management was
again placed under arrest, but no at
tempt was made to stop the proceed

ST.. PAUL, Aug 26.-J. j. Hill when
asked regarding the Great Northern
Northern Pacific deal replied that it was
still in good shape. When asked if it
was in as good shape as it ever was he
replied in trisyllable:
Certainly"
"What about the legal complications"
he was asked.
"There will be none of a serious ma
ture," he replied. II see that one of the
stockholders has brou, yht suit against
Us. But that doesn't amount to much"

eyes. We shall defeat him on his
own ground. He thinks that the pro-
posed deal would be inimical to his and
other interests, but he is evidently mis-
taken. Most of the Great Northern
people think otherwise, and we shall de-
feat him"
"Then you expect no legal obstacles
to the consummation Of your deal?" -
"None. The deal will be carried out
as proposed"
"How is the reorganization progress
ing?"
1T seems to be progressing very
we'll"
No Difference With Morgan.
What are the differences between
you and the Northern Pacific people,
as represented by j. Pierpont Nor
gan?"
"None. J. Pierpont Morgan has moth
ing to do with this. He may represent
some Of the underwriters, but they will
come in afterwards. People who write
about differences between myself and
Mr. Morgan are writing for space"
What is the actual amount of guar
antee of earnings Of so-called rental?'
six million two hundred thousand
dollars"
"Is it fact that the Northern Pacific
people demanded $7,0O0,000 and also
$15, 100000 security"
'It is not fact, and all reports to
that effect Gre wind"
"Then, after the reorganization has
been effected there appears to be no OBJ
stacle in the way of your plan for con-
control?''
"There appears to be none. You have
sized up the situation correctly"
"You are confident now that the deal
will be all right?'
