BULL-EIGHTS WILL TAKE PLACE,

SO Says the Promoter of the Coming
Tournament at Gillette, Colo.
COLORADO SPRINGS (Colo.), Aug. 10
A great amount of interest is being mani
tested in the proposed bull-fghts which
are booked to occur at Gillette on August
9th, 25th and 26th. There is considerable
difference of opinion regarding any law
which might be invoked to prohibit this
class of sport. That there is no law
specifically forbidding bull-hghting is
generally admitted, but the humane
disposed citizens claim that the statute
relating TO cruelty to animals is suffi- :
cient to stop the brutal performances.
J. ii. Volt, the proprietor Of the COM
ing sporting tournament, said to-day
that the entire programme would be car
ried out, the main feature of which was
regular Mexican bull-tight each day,
and that no court in junction, either
blanket or otherwise, could stop the fight.
He says ali arrangements have been COM
pleted at a cost thus far of over $4,000,
and that six of the most famous Mexican
toreadoreS have been engaged. Mr..
Wolf says that the notorious Bull Hill
crowd from Cripple Creek will brook no
Interference from the peace officers from
this end Of the county. They have ex-
tended an invitation to the press in gen.
eral to be present, for whom ample ac-
commodations Will be made.
