BUFFALO LICKS A BULL.
Bison 6ests Bovine Opponent Before
the "Smart Set" Of Juarez.


For the first time in a bull ring Il
buffalo and Il bull We're pitted against
each other in the Juarez rena across
the Rio Grande from FL Paso. Tex.
The buffalo defeated the bull, and the
latter was driven from the ring. Both
We're badly battered. A picador mar
rowly escaped being tossed on the
horns of the buffalo as he prodded
him with a pole. The buffalo turned
on the man and ran him across the
ring. hooking him just as his tormentor
fell behind a guard.
The buffalo was first turned into the
ring, and when the bull entered he
made a dash for the buffalo and both
locked horns. The fight was fast and
furious for a few minutes and the ami
mails separated. Once the buffalo was
staggered by the bull as they rushed
together. They FLASHED several times
until finally the bull became %frighten-
ed and refused to fight.
Ten thousand people from all over
the southwest witnessed the fight.

The property vas q part of the es-
tate of George b. Jenkinson, deceased,
and in the old days the mansion was
the scene of much social activity. The
property has a frontage of 1873 feet on
High street, and runs back ia slightly
irregular shape 220 feet. most of the
depth being on the line of Baldwin
street.
The intention of the purchaser, It is
said, is to remodel the house, which

grounds laid out, with the purpose of
residing in 1t himself. On the grounds
is a large stable, c-ommodious green
houses and several minor buildings,
together with a number of fine shade
trees.
The place is slightly out Of repair,
due to the fact that IT. has not been
occupied for several years, 6nd the
heirs but lately decided to sell. The
price Is considered exceedingly low, az
thS corner is considered a OF tie
mdst desirable sites on High street.
