BULLS FIGHT IN FIRE.
Two Frenzied Animals WaSed a Bat
tie Royal Until Buried by
the Debris.

A bull fight, with a fatal ending,
was thrilling incident of the fire
that destroyed the barn and stables of
Leander J. Mccormick, at Lake For
est, H., the other day. The charred
carcasses of two bulls were found in
the ruins. The animals had died in a
death struggle. They were lighting
III the basement of the stable and
stopped only when the structure fell
in on them. The bulls were two that
Mr.. Mccormick had imported recent
~ from Switzerland, and were Of the
variety known as Broken Swiss. One
was docile, but the other was a saw
age beast
The animals were chained in the
stalls in the basement of the barn
when the fire was discovered. Great
efforts were made by the workmen
about the premises to save the two
bulls. When unclaimed, however,
both animals lowered their heads and
beloved till they could be heard
above the roar of the fire. The ami
mails came together with a crash.
Again and again they charged, as If
they realized it was a fight to the
death. They struggled with such fury
that both of them went to their
knees, yet neither had any advantage
that could be seen, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
The floor above the battling bulls
was all ablaze, and the spectators
could see the skin on the backs of the
fighters smoke and crackle in the
heat, but the battle went on furiously.
Some of the farm hands, with long
poles, tried to separate the maddened
beasts, but as they prodded them the
fury Of the fight increased. The SUI
perstructure Of the stable was totter-
ing, and still the battle royal ragged.

struggle when the building crashed in
on them and buried them in the ruins.

saw had struck a knife that was i'm
bedded in a log to a depth Of 115 years
growth, and which is supposed TO have
been there lis years.
