CRUELTY OF TOREADORS.
After Killing One Maddened
Animal They Began Upon
a Second.
THEN THE sHERIFFINTERFERED
Great Indignation and the Militia
Ready to Check Further
Encounters.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Aug. "a
The first genuine bull-fght, with all its
attendant brutality, in the history of the
United States, occurred this afternoon, and
Gillette, Colo, O mushroom town Of 500
inhabitants, whose only distinction is
being located on the edge of the great
Cripple Creek gold region, now wears the
questionable honor of introducing this
semi-barbaric style of sport into the United
States. The performance this afternoon
was lacking in none of those essential
features which go SO far in making SINH
lar exhibitions in Spain and Mexico 4 sue
cess, and viewed from a Mexican stand
point, the degrading spectacle, as far as it
was permitted to proceed, was a decided
success. The skill and agility which the
imported Mexican toreadors exhibited in
escaping the rushes of the frenzIed and
maddened beasts created intense enuhusi-
asm and applause.
No attempt on the part of the State,
county or municipal officers was made to
prevent the brutal sport, and not until one
animal had been butchered and the second
was being goaded and tantalized to mad
ness, did Sheriff Bowers exert himself by
arresting the promoters and their bull
fighters. The ridicule which the officials
had heaped upon the alleged fake"
proved boomerang, and that which had
been termed a hippodrome and an adver-
tising scheme proved to be genuine ar
ticle.
The tough element, which largely pre-
dominated, was not in an amiable mood,
and the intervention of the Sheriff, who is
not popular with the Cripple Creek miners,
during the second fight nearly caused a
riot. Considerable friction between the
deputy sheriffs and the local town con-
stables was caused by the arrest of the
principals, and hand-to-hand encounter
took place and few Winchesters in the
hands of the tough element from Cripple
Creek were displayed.
1t is needless to say that the peace Off
GERS are receiving most vigorous denunci-
alton from the majority of the people.
There are probably two reasons for the
non-interference of the officers, one being
that there is no statute specifically pro-
hibiting buIl-hghting, and the second is the
juggling of W. Fl. Wolfe, the promoter of

WILL ORDER OUT MILITIA.

Prevent Further Fights.

Governor McJmtire NotO Determined to
Prepent Further Fights.
DENVER, Colo, Aug. 24.-After Gov
ernor McIntire received message from
Cripple Creek this evening announcing
the death of bull in the exhibition at
Gillette he changed his opinion of the
matter. G. w. Thompson, State agent for
the Humane Society, called to-day upon
the Governor land expressed his indigna-
ton at the apathy of the civil authorities.
He closed his conference with the Gov
ernor by declaring that he had done all in
his power to stop the brutal exhibition
and now intended to cease further efforts,
throwing the responsibility upon the Gov
ernor.
To add to the further discontinue of
Governor McIntire, local paper con-
tained special from Cripple Creek stating
that Adiutant- General Moses had been
guyed by the crowd when he appeared in
full uniform upon the scene.
'"rhis affair must stop right now," said
the Governor this evening, and he forth
with went into consultation with some ad-
visers. 1t is now strongly probable that
he will order out the militia company in
Colorado Springs to assist Sheriff Bowers
to suppress the fight tomorrow.

CALIFoRNIANs IN BOSTON.

WeIcO1ne.


Welcome.
BOSTON, MASS, Aug. 24.-California
Commandery No. /, which arrived in Bos-
ton this afternoon, fully justified its repu-
tation as lavish entertainers and generous
hosts at the banquet rendered by it at the
Parker House tonight to some 200 men,
bers and guests, among the latter being
Governor Greenhalge and Mayor Curtis.
The menu was most elaborate. Eminent
Sir Reuben P. Hurlbut presided, and in
very brief remarks, owing to the fatigue of
the long journey, called upon Sir George
T. Bromley of the California Press Club,
who made the Introductory address.
Governor Greenhalge came in late. but
on his arrival received an ovation. AT the
conclusion of Mr.. Bromley's remarks he
was introduced and made most cordial
speech of welcome to the visitors, and was
followed by Sir Edwin U. Curtis, Mayor of
Boston. who extended hearty welcome
on behalf of the city. Colonel Charles G..
Frye extended the greetings of the Grand
Commandery of Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island. Then Colonel Sid Hedges of the
Ancient and Honorable Artillery, who is
we'll known TO the Californians, was called
for and replied in happy vein. Rev. A.
A. Berle of Boston was the last speaker,
and the festivities did not end until after

these bull-fghts, and his very plausible
stories that no brutality would take place,
and that the horses would be padded and
rubber balls attached to the horns of the
bulls, apparently so deceived them that no
adequate steps to prevent the sport were
taken. 81
Tonight Captain Saxton of Troop A,
stationed here, received orders to be in
marching order. The eavalrymen are now
Assem- bled at the armory, awaiting further
orders from headquarters.
The first animal was driven into the
arena at 3 80 o'clock, and the usual scenes
OF bull-fight were enacted. 1t required
thirty minutes to kill the animal, which
became extremely vicious, the first sword
thrust falling to reach vital spot, and
this seemed to greatly enrage the in
furiated animal.
/ A second thrust by the toreador at the
spinal column at the base of the neck pro-
duced death.
At $50 o'clock the second and more
dangerous animal was driven in, the in
tervening time being taken up with other
Western sports. This last animal was un-
usually vicious, and so terrific was the
pace set by him and SO brutal was the
sport becoming that Sheriff Bowers
ordered the performance stopped and had
the fighters arrested. The animal was
shot with Winchester. The horses were
badly used up, but not goted.
Tomorrow programme gives promise
of being both brutal and exciting and
large crowds are preparing to attend. The
general opinion is that the State officers
are powerIess to act in the matter.
