Editor Wells of the Litchville IN. Do
Bulletin is travelling in Mexico to get rid
OF little burden Of wealth that lags
superfiuous after a winter of arduous
newspapering in the banana belt Of North
Dakota. At Juarez Mr.. Wells attended a
bullfght in Juarez $4,000 stone bullpen
slaughter. Before the sport began Edi-
tor Goddard, another North Dakota boy
far from home, hollered play ball!' just
to see how many Yanks there were in the
bunch, and the way the boys from up
north took up that cry gave the sedate
Mexicans real sensation. To Mr.. Wells
surprise, the bull fightresses were ladies.
He says:
Then the POSTMASTER footed horn and out
stepped half dozen Spanish girls, dressed in red
tights, with shirtwasts and skirts about as
long as lace collars. Then the horn footed again
| and out came yearling calf of the male per
suasion. The famous and much advertised 'lady
bull lighters had made their first appearance
| in Mexico They bowed right and left and spoke
something that sounded like sore throat.
The slaughter itself was too horrible
| to describe Mr.. Wells says:
| To summon up the whole affair can only
say, bull fight mighty dangerous to a
bull. I'd like to see some of these butchers
run up against little North Dakota COW with
/ horns, that had lost its calf. I'll bet there
would be than female greaser left
| at the end of the first inning. The bull fight
| is only slow, brutal and sickening slaughter Of
understood calves, and 1t makes me tired
The North American does not take
kindly to the bullfght. Our own private
| opinion Is that any one who would at
tend one ought to be under engagement
to the state authorities doing time with
a hammer at the side of bunch Of hard
rocks
