See Another Bull Butchered i'm
the Cripple Creek Arena.
STABBED BY A CRUEL SWORD.

Cripple Greek, Col, Aug. a5.-Another
bull was killed in the arena OF Gillette to-
day in the presence Of 5000 people. and the
work was done with ali the regal splen-
dors of Spain and Mexico. The first bull
turned into the arena was an exceedingly
tame animal Even after the darts were
thrown into him he refused 10 tight. and
the multitude in the seats called for new
animal Arizona Charley appeared TO he
equally disgusted, and headed the band Of
cowboys that drove the old bull out OF the
arena. The next animal driven in made a
fight for it's life, but its fight was quickly
over. Chineta, the king Of the arena in
not only Mexico but Spain, made two
sgabs at the animal and then LETT him
practically dead, but the Mexicans with
the red cloaks teased the animal and made
him dart at them. One came within an
ace of losing his life. and there was gre
excitement in consequence among the
MeXicans. Not few women IN the aGdi-
enCe tainted.
AT the ring not a single shout of ap-
proval was heard, not an applauding hand
was raised. For four minutes. which 10
many seemed stretched TO ten, the bull
had fought with death and men in the fun
sight OF them all. blood squirting from
gaping sword wounds just back of his
right shoulder. yelling from his mouth
and nostrils, fiecking his own sides and
forming pools upon the ground. For over
two of these minutes the bull stood mo-
tionless, almost, save for heaving sides, as
he gave long gasps for breath. Then he
fell. Only few seconds, and he lay
quite still. Then he slowly struggled 10
his feet and leaned against the. heavy bar
rier to the bull ring as if for support,
pitifulIy weak from the crimson streams
fast coloring the ground about. Then he
gathered himself and started slowly for
ward. staggering and waving from side
TO side. stopping an instant as there came
fresh gush of blood from his open
mouth then on another step. For twenty
feet the bull advanced. weak. bloody and
faltering Then ne fell again. Still his
fresh. warm blood welled up little over
the clotted mass upon the animals shoul-
der. at every step lessening the pulsation
of the heart. A Spanard in the gaudy
costume of the bull ring, stepped up to
the ouivering beast and sent the sharp
point of a sword blade into the neck of
the animal, swapping the spinal cord. The
legs of the bull drew up eonvulsively.
quivered an instant. then life, clung TO so
desperately and so long. was gone.
1t was simply an exhibition of cruelty.
and was not enjoyed at all by the crowd.
Over 100 deputy sheriffs were In attend
ance and the management was again
placed under arrest. but no attempt was
made to stop the proceedings.

REPORT NOT CONFIRMED.
But Washington City Officials Believe

Washington City, Aug. 25.-Neither the
state nor the navy department has re-
ceived any information contirmatory of
the newspaper reports that the Chinese
officials have yielded from their position
and are now permitting foreigners 10 he
present at the investigation into the at
tacks on the missionaries. The report.
however. is credited here by those ae-
quainted with the condition of affairs In
China. and who have felt all along that
the imperial government would see the
Justice of permitting foreign representa-
tives on the commission. 1t is felt here
that the affairs of Americans in China
while in charge of Minister DENLY and Ad-
miral Carpenter are in responsible hands.
and that they will see that adequate
measures of protection are afforded to the
extent of their ability. The navy depart
ment was today informed of the arrival

Ex-Treasurer Tunley's Shortage.

Further developments in the matter
Of the settlement of ex Treasurer Tun-
ley's accounts with Custer county, while
they do not reflect upon the sincerity OF
his intentions to meet his obligations,
have nevertheless had tendency 10
render the situation somewhat more
embarrassing. Included in the amccnt
turned over by Mr.. Tunley to bis sue
cessor in Office, were two checks,
amounting in the aggregate to 1913 36.
as follows: One check drawn on the
Commercial bank of Hermosa for
81, ,6l3 SO, and a check on the Bank Of
Hot Springs for 81 10000, both of which
have been protested, and that in the
face OF the fact of an acknowledgement
on the part Of one bank by telephone
that the amount OF the check was on
deposit 10 the credit Of Custer county,
and similar admission on the part Of
the other bank by letter bearing date OF
December 18th, 1894 The grounds
upon which the protests were based, as
it appears, was that in both cases, the
banks held note against Mr.. Tnnley
for certain amount, secured by a
chattel mortgage upon his stock, and it
would seem that the payment of the
checks was suspended, pending the
liquidation Of the notes.
No action has vet been taken by the
county TO enforce a settlement with Mr..
Tunley, the matter being held in obey
ance perding the arrival Of State Ex
aminer Mevers. when thorough inyes-
tigation of his accounts will be made.
!. telegram received on Thursday brings
the Information that the state examiner
is busiiy engaged at the state treasurer's
office, at Pierre, and cannot state defin-
ilely when it will be possible for him to
be here.
