A BULL CHAMPION.
Drove All Antagonists From Ring But
Did Not Kill Them.

The hero Of the Spanish bull ring has
not always been the toreador-there was
once bull who earned the plaudits of
the arena on more than one occasion by
repeatedly clearing it of mis- antagonists.
Curiously enough. however. he neither
killed nor dangerously wounded any
man, but. he did put to flight every tor
eador, picador, chulo or banderillero who
dared to enter the arena with him, and
though the crowds came to see him slain.
his conduct proved so valiant that the
people demanded that his life should be
spared.
This bulls name was Lechuzo. He
made his first appearance in the arena
at San Lucar. in Andalusia, some years
ago and so suddenly cleared the ring of
his enemies that the people rose in ad-
miration and demanded his reprieve, for
in spite of his bravery he would have
been treacherously approached and put
to death for the satisfaction of the null
tftude had not the people interviewed.
Again, at Cordova, after the wounds had
been healed which the picadors inflicted
upon him at San Lucar Lechuzo drove
all his enemies before him and again HE
life was spared at the demand of the
spectators.
So Lechuzo came to be regarded as In.
vincible and finally ended his DAYS in
peace at the age Of 10 years Some a..
mirers were DESTROYS Of testifving to hi,
prowess by erecting in his honor a NOM

BRAVE AND CLEVER MAN.
Engineer Prevents Three Young Band
its from Looting His Train.

st. Louis, July 1O.-Cleverness by the
engineer prevented three youthful and
apparently inexperienced bandits from
robbing the NJ, X. & T. Southwestern
Flyer Sunday near Larmore. 10 miles
from st. Louis. Three men were arrest
ed later as suspects and placed in Jail
pending investigation. Engineer Quinn,
by ruse. prevented the footing of the
baggage car and passenger coaches.
The bandits compelled the engineer and
fireman, at the point of revolvers. to de-
scend from the cab and go with them to
the baggage car to assist in uncouplins
it. While tinkering about the coupling
the engineer and flremen in the darkness
managed to glide away from the bandits.
The two started on run for the cab
and the bandits opened fire on them.
The engineer and firemen. undeterred.
scrambled into the cab. The engineer
threw the throttle wide open and dashed
away with the train. There were thous-
ands of dollars in the baggage car in ad-
dition to the mail. which was unusually
heavy. The suspects were released to-
night after an investigation.

Stock Fluctuations Reflect
CBrprai Business Outlook.
Weak Prices Follow Justice
FuIIef's Sudden Death.


New York, July 10-The financial
market last week continued to reflect
the apprehension felt over the general
business outlook, but the further dras-
tic purging to which the stock specula-
ton was subjected left that market
so far relieved as to bring into ques-
ton its further movements. The evil
dence of influential buying at the low
price levels established heartened
speculative sentiment and built up a
feeling of hopefulness that the process
Of adjustment to the unfavorable fac
tors in the situation had approached
completion in the stock market itself
The demoralized break in prices of the
opening Of the week was attributed
directly to the death of the chief JUS
tice Of the supreme court of the Unit
ed States and to feeling of dissatis-
faction with the advices of the bank
ing situation in the interior. Some of
the lowest prices OF the year were re-
corded at the decline. The market de-
monstrated its resilient power again
at the end of the week after the shock
Of the government report.
There was a subsistence of the acute
anxiety felt earlier by spectators over
the question of government regulation
OF railroad rates.
This was due partly to the action of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in restoring increases of grain rates
from Buffalo previously disallowed and
the limitations that increased expense
obligations Of the railroad formed an
influence on the decision. The confer
ence between President Taft and the
chairman of the commission and the
understanding that the expediting Of
the commissions work in passing on
proposed rate advances was intended
was another element in the feeling on
that subject.
