\ MEXICAN BULL FIGHT.
DIR. 5. ". Wesley Witnessed One OF
the Events While at Durango

Durango, Mexico, Sept. 2U.--Ac- |
cording to promise will now tell /
about the mineral resources of this ,
country and the bull fight. On the |
18th inst, twas advertised that we !
were to have the biggest bull fight |
of the season in which twas guar |
anteed that five bulls were to be !
killed. Bull fights are under the SUI I!
pervision Of the government. A |
judge and an appellant judge are APP !
pointed by the authorities, and they |
direct, oversee and decide all mat
ters pertaining thereto and every
thing is conducted in accordance to
the command of the Judge who sees
that the rules are strictly inforced.
The bull is called in; the fighters d.
rected and decisions announced
through a bugler. The ring upon this
occasion contained six men, three on
horseback and three on foot, Those
on horse back are called Picadors
and those on foot, Matadors. The OBJ
ject of the horsemen is simply to
keep the bull off of the horses, at the
same time so infuriate him by
piercing him with his small lance
! that twill be interesting for the
public when the Matador begins
The rules are. that the bull must
charge the horses three times before
the footmen or Matadors begin on
him. If his bullship refuses to
charge three times he is ruled out OF
the ring and another is called in his
place. The bull must always charge,
or act on the aggressive. before any
thing is allowed to be done to him
In other words the fighters must act /
only on the defensive.
After the bull has charged three /
times the horses are ridden from the I
ring. if alive; or dragged from If, if .
dead. and upon this occasion three .

Representative Champ Clark OF
Missouri said Sunday night in
Washington that it was his pur-
pose to make life miserable for the
Republicans who oppose the bill
which he will introduce in the
House providing for the removal
import duty on wood pulp, white
print paper. The bill is designed
particularly to relieve the country
publisher, whose paper now costs
double what it did a few years ago.

VILLIANOUS WORK.

Some villanous scroundrel has a
second time torn to pieces the
weather bureau apparatus at this
station. The local observer, A. r..
Carter, has his instruments behind
the post Office in a suitable place
and has gone to much trouble
to keep them in condition, and
now the second time within a month
1t has been smashed to pieces,
which not only interiors with the
reports made from this station but
is an expense to Uncle Sam to re-
place the broken parts. The Grim
inal who is guilty of this probably
does not know that the United
States government deals with his
class OF cattle in a summary manner
when clue is had to the offender.

Tucumcari has grown rapidly in
a business way during the past
year. Many new businesses have
gone in and among them is one
that the farmer particularly appre-
c%iates, the exclusive hardware
store OF c. c. Chapman, who COM
ing from the farm himself knows
just what the industry needs in the
way OF implements for farm use.
He buys most lines in car lots and
keeps a fine assortment of shelf
hardware. He is in the old Simp-
son stand and as a successor to
that business is already acquaint-
ed with a great number OF the
people.

The ChIldren's Home Society OF
New Mexico will organize a local
branch here to look after the work
in the city. This is the outcome
OF the mass meeting OF citizens last
Sunday night. DIR. Lukens, Supt.
OF the territorial organization says:
The cost of training a child to
become an outcast and criminal is
d fearful tax on the body polite;
it cannot be estimated in dollars
and cents; and on the other hand
the average cost Of providing a
home for life for one of these
homeless children is only about
$4,000. Under this s~ociety's SUI
pervision children are placed in
good homes and properly trained
and educated to become good
citizens" Tucumcari's citizens
are too progressive to come up in
the rear Of any movement for the
betterment of the territory.
