Bisbee daily review., 1904-06-07
The Review is delivered by carriers in the following towns:
TO BE HOPED
 IT WILL BE A FAILURE.

The city of Douglas is all excited
 over the announcement that some
 Mexican bull fighter" from the far
 famed city of Juarez is to give reg
 nlar session of fights" in the bull pen
 at Agua Prieta alternate Sundays
 This announcement is followed up ir
 great glee by the press of that city
 as though it were something of which
 the city should be proud.
 In the light of all the previous bull
 fights that have occurred there and al
 Juarez, it is almost impossible to dis
 oern why these fights should be
 either commended or noticed There
 has been but one commendable thing
 happened in fight" in either of the
 rings above named, and that was a
 short time since, when bull, just be-
 fore the poor brute fel! dead, gathered
 sufficient strength, to rise from his
 knees, and with a terrific lunge at the lowing matador, lifted that brute into
 the air, and when he returned to the
 ground, he was ready for the under taker.
 That similar good sense, and strength in dying moments of the
 bulls has not been vouchsafed to all the other dead bulls" is to be sincerely regretted That people can be constantly and continually gulled into cuoh farc;ot s.foi-as., a. hos haap foisted upon the public, under the name of bull fights" as have occurred in the Agur Prieta bull pen is be yond comprehension With loud an- nouncements and box car letters these
 fakes" are advertised, with 'fero- cious bulls" to be fought. when the poor things are gathered from thel barren ranges of the border, scarcely able to walk from exhaustion, driven into the bull ring, and there two orl three bespangled silk stockinged crea- lures, make big adoo about running around the skinny half-fed animals l sticking banderillcs into their necks. until the poor brutes stand still in ab- ject fear, when the boss circus dressed fighter with his sword | makes the final plunge into the neck of the poor beast, many times missing his mark. and then receives the plaudits of measiy sized crowd, who seem to delight in cruelty, and | sycophantly, receiving back the No. 6 | hat thrown into the ring.
 The railroads run excursion trains for profit to such scenes as that. thel papers applaud and glorify these fakes, and then it comes again and again, and the public gratify low moral standard to replenish the emptied coffers of the promoters of such sport as are termed bull fights" in this section of the bor- der line. These fights" are nothing more nor less than cruel, bloody butch cry, and should not only not receivel the support of the public, but should be summed as unworthy the sight of a person born in the Twentieth centu- ry. To see lot of low lived brutcs at the close of an Agua PIieta per formance" drive into a ring a poor. half fed COW, twenty or thirty low orowed, sugar-cane eating, half-fed peons, tie the poor beast, and saw off her horns till the blood comes. throw sand and dirt in her eyes, kick her. helpless as she is, in the face. and the four CT five dirty, unkerspt and tatter-I ed scum of the earth ride her about the ring, may be termed sport in the vicinity of Douglas, but if Douglas draws" any people on excursions to such sport" as that it will be against inc everlasting and continual poundingl Df the cruel practice before the eyes of the people through these columns at any rate. IL is well known to the Review that the Governor of Sonora frowns upon these fights. disgraced by the name of fight" and had he the courage of his convictions he would stop them instanter. It is 10 be sincerely hoped that these ex- will prove to be such an utter failure financially that the fighters" will be compelled to earn an honest living at some other trade than stab ping standing bulls, brought from un- ierfed ranges, to afford fun" for 30 ,ents per head.
