again carried out his promises to give the peo-
pie real bullfght, the performance to-day re-
suting in the slaughter Of two bulls. He has
probably made money out # the speculation, but
he has not succeeded in making the miners OF
this camp believe that bull-fshting is entertain
ing sport The novelty of the exhibition and the
anticipation of conflict between the Sheriff of
FL Paso County and the management Of the
carnival drew the 5000 people who crowded the
vast roughly constructed amphitheatre, more
than the desire to see a bull slaughtered.
The sight Of an ordinary BULL accustomed 10
quiet scenes, being slaughtered and tormented,
his sides pierced by the cruel darts and by the
goads OF the picadores. and. finally, the disgust

throes Of the tortured ANIMAL was spectacle re-
voting to American ideas. The Cripple Creek
miners want the public to understand that they
do not indorse the show, and had the civil au-
thorties used their proper power to stop 1t, no
protest from the miners would nave peeh maue.
