AT THE ELECrRIC THEATERs.

The famous Seville bull fight NOV
ing picture at theCelford theater drew
large crowds the past two nights. The
views were very fine, being quite rea-
listic, and those who had never seen
an actual bull fight gained a very
correct idea of the way in which this
famous Spanish and Mexican sport is
conducted from these views, which
were made by Pathe in Seville. The
beautifulSpanish ladies in their hand
some dresses and gracefully draped
mantillas were a typical feature
which was much admired. The Mex
leans in the audience especially ap-
preciated the bull fights.and applaud
ed the various feats displayed
The Dittman theater also had an
unusually fine attraction the past
two nights 1.-THE Reprieve," a pa
thetic and historic event of the life
of President Lincoln. The closing
scene, in which the soldier who had
been condemned to death for falling
asleep at his post, was saved by his
heroic wife, who dashes up with a
reprieve just as he is about to be
shot, is very stirring, and brings
forth applause from the audience.
Many other excellent features are
comprised in the programs at both
places every night, the proprietors
securing the best views obtainable
and often at considerable cost, to en-
terrain the people of Brownsville.

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING
RESULTS IN DEATH
S. w. Moore of Lyford Succumbs Az
ter Amputation of Wounded
Limb.
To The Herald:

TO Inc Herald:
Lyford, Texas, Aug. 20.-After suf-
fering for several weeks from a gun
shot wound in the knee and having
to undergo amputation of the injured
limb, S. w. Moore of this place died
this afternoon. The injury was self
inflicted by the accidental firing of
his own weapon. Mr.. Moore was re-
turning to town from a visit to the
country and had his rife, a 5000
Savage in the wagon, it being loaded.
On getting from the wagon at his
home, he pulled the gun towards him
to take it from the wagon, and the
trigger was caught in some way,
causing the weapon to be discharged.
The bullet struck him in the knee. 1t
was hoped at first that the injury
might be healed without amputation,
but after several weeks, it was seen
that the only hope consisted in ampu-
tation. The operation was performed
yesterday, but too late, as the wound
ed man was not able to recover from
the operation, and he passed away
this afternoon.
The deceased was the son of Mr..
Moore, who keeps the hotel at Lyford
He was aged about Is years and
leaves a wife and child. Great SYM
pathy is felt for the bereaved family
and the sad happening has cast a
gloom over the entire community.
