Sent to Prevent the show Going On.
CRIPPLE CREEK Coli. Aug. 25.-Man-
ager Joseph Wolfe, with his knicker-
bockers, gaudy shirt. sash, big silver
buttons and mammoth Mexican hat, has
again carried out his promises to give the
Cripple Creek people genuine Mexican
bullfight, and he has probably made
money out of tho speculation. but he has
not succeeded in making the miners OF
this camp believe that bu!l-fghting is
entertaining sport.
The novelty of the exhibition and the
anticipation of conflict between the
Sheriff of Ell Paso County and the man
agement of the carnival drew the 5000
people who crowded the vast roughly
constructed amphitheater more than the
desire TO see bull butchered. The sight
OF an ordinary Hereford bull accustomed
to quiet scenes being badgered and tor
mented, his sides pierced by the cruel
darts and by the goads of the picadOrs,
and finally the disgusting brutality of the
final stabbing and the death throes of the
ing to American ideas of fair play.
The Cripple Greek miners want the
public to understand that they do not in
dorse the show, and had the civil authori-
Ties used their proper power to stop it no
protest from the miners would have been
made.
There is no doubt about the genuine
ness of this bulltight. La Charta, the
woman bandarilio; Garcia, Esquivai and
the phIpf Maglnan (fh1ChA narfOrnl al
their parts with agility, grace and fearless
ness. Hereford bulls were declared mo
gO0d' by Cheche. In the deit mortal
| thrust Cheche, however, proved not TO be
expert, for both yesterday and to-day he
had TO use his long sharp sword several
times before the bulls surrendered their
life blood. Between the pauses of these
thrusts the sight OF the streaming and the
helplessness of the dumb beast made the
spectators very much disgusted.
Excursion trains from Denver and
Colorado Springs had to be waited for,
and it WAS late Ill the day before the grand
cavalcade dashed into the arena and
saluted Manager Wolfe and the audience
OF men, women, and even children.
Sheriff Bowers. broken down under the
fatigues and strains of yesterday re-
manned in Colorado Springs. Under
sheriff Brisbane represented him, aud
hustled about declaring that no cruelty
would be tolerated. Manager Wolfe
promised this as usual, but whom the first
bull was admitted to the ring the plea
doris lost no time in prodding up the ami
NAL, while several steel darts were sway
ing from the sides of the maddened
Hereford. The manager and all assist
auts were placed under arrest. A Justice
was at hand and quickly accepted bail.
A fter the first bull was butchered arrests
we're again made, and bonds as readily
secured.
Adjutant-General Moses advised with
Brisbane, and urged him to stop the
cruelty. When the toreador bungled al
the end, the Governors representative
left the scene. evidently much disgusted.
A fter his conference with the Governor
over the telephone, he returned and told
brisbane TO go into the ring and arrest
each mateador every time dart was
thrust into 4 bull. The presence of lot
of tough men, all armed with revolvers,
cowed the deputy, and he contented him
self with wordy alterations with the
management. Night came Oh before the
long programme OF wild riding, steer
tying. lasso throwing and other similar
sports had ended, and many left before
the performance closed.
The audience WAS generally quiet,
growing excited only when the bull
drove the men into boxes and over the
barriers. They watched as much tho
Deputy Sheriff. wondering if he would
make any strong effort to stop the show.
When the other sporting events had
been given, q second bull was brought
out. He refused to fight. Another was
ushered into the arena, but before he had
been greatly excited, Deputy Sheriff
Sterling entered the arena and ordered
the tun stopped. He seized the toreador's
sword and attempted to dispatch the bull
1t Tell bleeding horribly, and was dragged
out by the mule team, thus ending the
second day. Another programme is ar
ranged for Monday, but it is thought few
people will attend.
DENVER, Aug. 25.-At his home to-day
Governor Mcintyre rested after a ted dious
night of vigil. His efforts in advising
Sheriff Bowers proved useless. He tele-
phoned to Under Sheriff Brisbane on the
scene. but to appeals for militia, he reit-
Grated that he could not call them out
until the Sheriff had exhausted his re-
sources. The Sheriff replied that he had
plenty of help but no law to back him up.
Even the Humane Society was not rep
resented to make requests for arrests of
individuals in the act of committing
deeds Of cruelty to the bulls. Adjutant-
General Moses reported that the specta-
Gle was TOO revolving Tor him.
The FL Paso County Sheriff was weak
and nerveless az he was in the Bull Hill
troubles last year, and the Governor
could only regret that he did not have the
right to remove Sherifis or power to step
