Stopped the Bull Fight.

Brentwood Bulletin;
Sheriff Mcconnell, of San An
CELLO, is oil right. lie deserves
commentator. A bull fight was
announced for San Angelo last
week, but it was stated that it
would be very tame affair with
out anybody or anything being
even scratched. To add to the
interest, though, the bull was al
lowed to kill fine horse in pas
ture u few days before the fight,
just by way of showing its real
viciousness, and the crafty press
agent got in his work on this item
for all it was worth. At the prop
er time, when 100000 had been
gathered in and six hundred San
Angelo citizens were ready to wit
ness the battle, Sheriff Neon
nell swooped down on the pro-
prietors of the show, and made
them refund and stop the per-
I formance. He was armed with
an opinion from the attorney gem
eral. The willy matadors consult
ed local lawyers and were told
that if they did not charge for
the show it would not be n viola
ton of the law. So flaming cir
culars were prepared and news
paper announcements were made
that the next day there would be
an exhibition of bull riding and
broncho busting for which all adj
mission Of fifty cents would be
charged and fifteen minutes after
wards the gates wonld be thrown
wide open and the tame and
harmless bull fight given free.
But Sheriff Mcconnell again
stepped in and said NAY. nay,
Pauline; that is clearly an eva
sion of the law and evasions do
not 90 with me-" Determined
to let the equally determined
citizens Of San Angelo witness
this enlightened exhibition, an
nouncement was made that on
Monday u free bull fight would
be given, and the sheriff being adj
vised that he could not stop it,
let it go and presumably the
great event occurred yesterday to
the qualification of the sport low
ing citizenship of our western
neighbor. The great majority
of the people of San Angelo APP
plauded Sheriff. McConnell's stand
and regret that there is an ele.
ment not yet far enough removed
from barbarism to delight in that
sort of sport INDUCED in by
savages, but rejoice that under
the influence of advancing civil.
zation this element is gradually
diminishing.

Sheriff Kirk was called out
Tuesday night to investigate what
was supposed to be a burglary of
the Ellis Grocer Co.'S. store. Mr..
Reinhart, the restaurant man,
started home about one o'clock,
when he noticed two men running
from the front Of this store and
upon investigation the door was
found standing open. Mr.. Kirk
arrived on the scene in a few
minutes and tracked two parties
for some distance in the direction
of the oil mill, but could get no
clue to work on and dropped the
matter. Mr.. Ellis says he is GER
tain that he locked the door when
he closed up for the night, and
w. B. Stubs who had OCCASION
to know, says the door was locked.
There was nothing missing from
the store and it is not known how
the burglars opened the door as
the lock was not broken.
