BULL FIGHTING.
INTERESTING FIGURES FUR.
NISHED BY OUR CONSUL.
Hardly as Dangerous as Football,
But It Is Much More Expensive
"Sport" Is on the Increase.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Consul General
Bowen, at Barcelona, in d report to
the state department, says that from
April to October last there were ATS
bull fights in Spain and 1,217 bulls,
valued at 5000 and $3.50 horses,
valued at $500, 900, were killed during
the exhibitions The number of mata-
dores was % and for their services
they received upward of $225, 900.
The matadores receive salaries in ac-
cordance with their renown and popu-
larity Some of the least known, the
report says, get from $500 to $500 for
each fight in which they take part,
while the best known are paid as high
as from $500 to $500 a fight. The fam
Gus Guerrita appeared in 6S fights,
killed ia bulls and received for his re-
ward SCI 900 for about four months
work Combita, another well-known
fighter, fought 43 times, killed 112 bulls
and received $21, 900. Mazzantini was in
the ring 20 times, killed 6S bulls and
made $21,700
They were the favorite matadores
although there were other lesser lights
who received high salaries for their
fighting qualities. Some, the CONSUL
general says, appeared in the ring
once or twice and they were those who
received the smallest remuneration.
Mr.. Bowen concludes that bull fighting
in Spain is the most popular sport in
the country and that. rather than di-
minishing, it is rapidly on the in
crease.

ISSUING COUNTY BONDS.
ATTORNEY GENERAL BISHOP
CONSTITUTES THE LAW.
Bonds May Be Issued at This Time
For Indebtedness in Existence
Jan. 4, 1S9G-Law of 1892 Rela-
tive to Issuance of Witness and
Jurors Cert;:s Gates Not in Force
Now.

The attorney general yesterday rem
dered an important opinion relative tic
the power of county commissioners to
issue bonds for outstanding indebted
ness; incurred prior to Jan. 4, 1896; also
constituting the law relating to the is
suance of witness and jurors certif1-
Gates. The opinion, which was rem
dered to County Attorney E. w. Nc
Daniel of Sewer, is as follows:
L have before me your favor of the
25th inst. in which you ask whether
section "a of chapter "A of the laws Of
1892 is still in force.
1t will be observed that this provision
was part of an act providing for the
payment of jurors, witnesses and
photographic reporters and creating
and defining the duties of court COM
missioners. The law of 1895 abolishes
the Office of court commissioner and
repeats all inconsistent acts. If the
office of court commissioner is abol-
ished, then it would follow that no
presentation of jurors or witness GER
tificates is required by section "A OF
chapter "a of the act of 1892 could be
made, hence that provision would be-
come a nullit.r.
| am of opinion that the law of 1896,
found in the county government bill,
establishes Ill eullIGly HSW IlClHOO 1Oi
the issuance of certificates for wit
nesses and jurors, as we'll as for their
ultimate payment, and that said pro-
vision of 1892 was thereby abrOgated
and repealed.
AS to your second question: May
county bonds be now issued to the ex-
tent of the outstanding warrants on
Jan. 4, 1885, Notwithstanding the fact
that a part of said warrants have, since
that time, been paid?
l am of opinion that subdivision IA
of section q of the county government
bill gave to the board of county COM
missioners the option of funding or
refunding any outstanding indebtedness
on Jan. /, 1896, and at that time they
could have issued bonds for the full
amount of said Indebtedness. How
ever, if they chose not to do so, and to
pay off a portion thereof, they could
not afterwards issue bonds for the en-
tire amount.
Under these provisions the bonds may
be exchanged for outstanding warrants
or other evidences of Indebtedness, or
they may be sold for money, in which
case, the proceeds thereof shall be
applied exclusively for the payment of
liabilities existing against the county
at and before the date above named"
Here is a direct limitation imposed
upon the power of county commission
ers to issue bonds, and whenever their
authority should be exceeded in this
particular, it would go at once to affect
the validity of the bonds.
| am therefore of opinion, that bonds
might be issued at this time for any
unpaid outstanding Indebtedness of the
county which was in existence Jan. 4,
1896, but not beyond this.

BUXTON APPREHENDED.
DEFAULTING MINNEAPOLIS
BANK TELLER AT YUMA.
The First Clue to His Whereabouts
Was Obtained In Salt Lake-Was
a Guest at the Templeton.

Ben A. Buxton, the defaulting Mime
apo1is bank teller, the first clew of
whose wherea bouts was obtained in
Salt Lake by Day Clerk Taylor of the
Templeton, has been apprehended at
Fort Yuma, Arizona, and Minnesota
officers have gone to that point to con-
duct the young man back TO the scene
of his misdeeds.
At the time the account of Buxton's
passing through this city was pub
lished in The Herald no trace of the
missing man had been secured in
Minneapolis Buxton left the former
city about January s, and reached here
on January II, registering at the
Templeton in his own name. lie left
the following morning to make con-
nections at Ogden with the Central
Pacific express for the coast. Il is now
thought that the foregoing designation
was an intentional blind as Buxton
was thoughtful enough to give mis-
direction to the hotel porter in very
audible tones. He must have aKen
the Rio Grande Western to its most
southern terminal and then staged it
over the Utah boundary line. He had
plenty of money with him when in Salt
Lake, all of which was left for safe
keeping with the night clerk of the
Templeton.
For some Iime after his departure
meme of his acquaintanc9 in Mime
apolis suspected that anything was
wrong in his business affairs and the
then prevailing impression was that he
had taken a sudden fancy to go to
Cuba. After the Minneapolis people
were put on the right track by wire
from this city, Investigations began,
ending in the discovery that Buxton
was short in his accounts at George r.
Newell & Co.'S, where he was en-
Dloyed.
Now it is asserted that Buxton is
insane. which would readily explain
the use of his own name on the TEN
pleton register.
