FINE FELLOW IS PATTIN

Fined $50 for Making an Jndeceut Pm.
Posai to an 8-Year-Oid Girl.
The outcome of Edward Pattin's
hearing in Magistrate Schroeder's
court yesterday afternoon was indeed
lenient when the lewd circum stances
of his offense are considered. He
was fined $50 and costs, in default
of the payment of which he was re.
manded to Jail. People have gone to
the penitentiary for such shameful
attempts as Pattin's. The. defend
ant in the case was Martha Trottnow,
a child of years. whose mother,
Mrs. Minnie Trottnow, instituted the
charge against Pattin. The affair
occurred in the lower saw mill Yards
Sept. 26, while Pattin and two com
panions were celebrating with a key
Of beer. The little girl, whose par
ents reside in that neighborhood,
happened along. when Pattin was
guilty of a shameful exhibition and
made a brutal proposition to the
child.

vented Pattin from proceeding fur

BUSINESS of his act. Pattin flew to the
country and remained away from the
clutches of the police until yesterday
when he was apprehended in the city
by Chief Etzel. AS States Attorney
Searle remarked after Pattin's hear
ing. the charge against him should
have been stronger. This young
rowdy has been in trouble before and

tence would have been nothing more
than he deserved.

A REAL BULL FIGHT
LA FIESTA DE CRIPPLE CREEK A
BLOODY SUCCESS.
Chehe and His Assistants-Par-
Elephants Arrested.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, Aug. H.-The
first day of La Fiesta de Cripple Creek has
passed, a success in every detail. The pro-
gramme was carried out, and the bull fight
was all that had been advertised-a fight to
a finish in the true Mexican style. Captain
Chehe and the charming Chivella, famed in
Old Mexico bull fights, were the principals
IN the contest. Arizona Charley was there,
as were also three capadors (chubos), who
fight with the red cloak, and the banderil-
los, who throw the sharp spears into the
neck. and the picadors. who. with spears on
horseback, fight, and the bull was also
there and met his death.
1t was the first bull that has died in the
arena in the United States at the hands of
a trained gladiator. A bull pen is two hun
dred feet in diameter, circular In form and
strongly barricaded, and. surmountlng the
whole, is an immense amphitheater, seat
ing from eight to ten thousand people. This
was the case at Gillett. At the side en-
trance a bull was admitted and plunged
madly into the ring. He was met by the
picadors on horses. and goaded to despera-
ton with the spears. Then capidor fiaunt-
ed a red flag in the face of the bull and he
would plunge at the man, who would only
escape being gored by stepping gracefully
aside or by making a swift run for one of
the escapes. Once or twice it seemed that
the men would certainly meet death
Narrowly did they escape the mad
dened animal The horsemen, 1t seemed
were in just as imminent peril.
but 1t was when the banderillos
stuck the festooned arrows in the bulls
neck that the animal became thoroughly
enraged. Then Chehe. whose proper name
is Jose Morervo, armed with a sword,
came forward to do battle siagle-handed
with the bovine. The Spaniard faced the
bull and dared him to battle. The bull
would lunge into the scarlet mantle but
Chehe was away. Finally by blow aimed
for the heart the bull was badly but not
fatally wounded in the shoulder. The lat
lie between the man and beast was endel
with only we'll aimed stab at the top
OF the neck and between The ears of the
bull. The spinal cord was severed and the
bull fell and with groan expired.
A second bull was introduced Immediate
ly and the fight was fairly gnder way
when Sheriff Bowers and his deputies ar
rived and placed Joseph Wolfe the chief
promoter of the whole affair, under arrest
with all the participants in the fight, oil a
charge OF cruelty 10 animals, and the fight
was stopped Those arrested promptly paid
the fine imposed. but The same diff iculty
will be encountered in the course of he
morrow's sport. 1t is the general impress
sion. however. that the officers VIII be
blurred off and the fight win take place.
Acknowledgement Moses has just arrived
and says the power OF the militia is 10 be
summoned to stop the bull fight, but IL
is not thought the State authorities will
be on hand in time TO interfere with the
programme. which will be the biggest day
ever known to the sporting world in the
United State&
