Civilization in Mexico.

City of Mexico, July 5.-One of
the most horrible tragedies ever
enacted in a bull ring in Mexico is
reported from the city Of Durango.
A drunken spectator, who was re-
sponsible for the last bull of an
exhibition goring Silverioe Chico,
Il famous matadOr, was literally
torn to pieces by a mob. His head
was hacked from his body, his
heart taken out and stamped upon,
his intestines strewed over the
ring, and the trunk aud limbs cut
and torn into small bits.
Five bulls had been killed by
Chico during the afternoon, and he
had exhibited such skill that the
thousands of spectators in the am
phitheater were wild with enthusi-
asm. The sixth and last bull of the
exhibition proved to be particular.
ly large and fierce, aud the clever
ness of the madator in playing"
the animal gained him fresh APP
plause. At last, The brought the
bull into proper position and make
ready to administer the death
stroke. Just as he lunged for
ward, sword penetrating the heart
of the animal, a drunken spectator,
rising from a seat on the sunny
side Of the ring, hurled a piece of
iron pipe. The pipe struck the
matadOr on the head, and he fell
insensible in front of IA bull. The
enraged animal was upon him in
an instance, and succeeded in gOr-
ing him six times before it fell
over, dead.
AS soon as the people realized
what had happened there was
rush for the drunken offender. He
was thrown into the ring and
there torn into pieces.
Chico is dangerously wounded.

Atkins at the Bat.

| cation IN the Nandalia Leader oil
last week:
Vandalia, Mo-, July al have
no inclination to enter into a news.
paper controversy over a game OF
baseball, but since some of the
Mexico players or fans" have
seen fit to state in the Mexico pa.
pers that they received shabby
treatment here and of my biased
decisions and "ungentlemanly"
conduct, desire to state a few
facts: / had no interest in the
game whatever further than to see
manly contest in a good game of
ball. AS for my decisions,I would
not reverse a single one, and as
for my "ungentlemanly" conduct,
| suppose they have reference to
my ordering Joe Mason out of the
diamond in the eighth inning.
Now the facts arc these: In the
beginning of the eighth inning
Joe Mason (whO l afterwards
learned was manager of the Mex
leo team for that day. came into
the diamond and began to curse
aud abuse me in regard to a de-
cision had made on third base.
promptly ordered him from the
diamond as he had no right there
as shown by the base ball rules of
1905. AS l turned from him he
gave vent to vile words and kicked
he and kicked at me several times.
Then the officers took him from the
diamond and were ejecting him
from the ground when several per-
sons begged to allow him to remain
promising to be responsible for
his conduct the remainder of the
game.
After the game several Vandalia
boys went to Mason and explained
to Mason that he had done wrong
and that he owed me an apology.
They also asked me il l would ac.
cept an apology and told them l
would. Then Mason said that he
would not apologize to any one.
When he came down town he
was arrested and taken before JUS
tice Thole, who informed me that
he pleaded guilty to assault and
was fined.
Now, who has acted "ungentle-
manly" a manager of a team as
saulting the umpire, or the umpire
deciding plays as he sees them3
AS far as shabby treatment, if
were member of the Mexico team
l would hang my head in shame.
When the team from here went
to Mexico no one met them at the
train or hotel, in fact they had to
inquire t h way to t h e
ball ground, and also had to walk
out there. After the game no one
put in an appearance, nor did they
see any of them. When the Mex.
leo team came to Vandalia they
were met at the train, escorted to
a room to change clothes and a
wagonette ready to take them ont.
But the manager" wanted to
know if they had made arrange
ments to convey them back to
town. The Vandalia boys must
walk to the ball field in Mexico,
but 1 suppose the Mexico team
must have closed carriages in
which to ride.
regret as much as the people OF
VandalIa that the game was marred
by the ungentlemanly conduct of
the manager" l have no fault
to find with the Mexico players,
and only have this to say: Cut
out booze" and You will play
better ball and also know how tc
treat an umpire when he is giving
you a square deal.
