HYPNOTIST BITTEN
 IN BADGER FIGHT
Professor Breon Has Narrow Escape From Serious Injury in Corner Of
 Bloody Basin Beauty''
(From Saturdays Daily.l

Forgetting to use his soporific ac- eomplishments on Thomas May's Irish bulldog, which sports a dark optic, before he entered the badger $ corner, in a badger fight yesterday afternoon, Prof. Carl Breon, hypnot- ist, filling an engagement this week at the Elks theater, narrowly escaped serious injury, while the carniverous mammal, long known as the "Bloody Basin Beauty" is minus it's last aur- icular aPpendage.
 In coaching the badger, the pro- lessor showed a wonderful lack of knowledge of badger fighting, and was as helpless at the game as were John Meade, James Merritt, Michael Lawler, Eddie Hill, and other au- burn-haired youths, who, under his spell, erowed and Tapped their wings like Buff Cochin roosters, made faces at Prescott beauties in the aud iece and political speeches from the stage, Thursday night. Breon is nursing a sore left leg today, due to a snap of the ferocious canine, and wearing smile of disguest and a change of apparel, his suit of dappled brown being torn and spat- tered with gore in the fierce en- counter
 At noon, yesterday, the fight was arranged and the word was passed quietly to the sports of the city. At first, MT. May. the druggist at Tim erhoff's, was loath to match his dog for the encounter Later, when as- sured that the fight would not be reported to the police or members of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, he agreed to the combat.
 Half an hour before 4 o'clock, the sports began to assemble from all parts of the city, and the windows overlooking the yard of the Lawler block, in the building and the Pres eott Hotel, became vantage points from which to view the battle, mir roring the faces of amny well known society ladies of the city, who had been given the tip by their husbands and sweethearts. When Prof. Breon arrived on the scene, the guest of John Meade, who contributed so much to the success of Thursday nights entertainment, betting was fast and furious. Although the bad ger was never defeated odds were being placed on the bulldog, which has all the earmarks of a fighting ancestry. Ed. Kastner offered $50 on the badger, at even money, which was promptly covered by Ed. Meeks and Ed Dillon on a pool. Michael Lswler and Ed. Hill, recognizing the Eibernian strain in the canine. placed their money on him, the bets being eagerly taken by Lester Ruffner, Joe Dillon and Charles Seholey. Dick

ANOTHER DIVIDEND
 PAID BY TOM REED
CMohave County MinerN

(Mohave County Miner.)
 The Tom Reed paid another big
 dividend to its stockholders this
 week, the cheeks being sent out
 from the main office last Monday.
 The company is getting a big treas ury for the purpose, it is said, of talk ing over the power line and pump station of the Victor Gold Mines company, otherwise greater dividends would be in order. It is understood that the proposed purchase of this power line and station is meeting with considerable opposition in the company, but the belief is general that sufficient stock is now con trolled by the progressive element of the company and the trade will soon be made. The acquisition of the power line and big pumping plant would enable the Tom Reed to handle a much larger tonnage of ore than the present water supply will per init and consequent added output of bullion. It is probable that the mine will have to come down to the hand ling of a lower grade of ore than that now being put through the mill, in which event several hundred tons will have to be milled daily to get the big results now obtained.
 At the mine the shaft is now being sunk another 100 foot lift, which will prove up the property below the level of the older andesite, a prob lem that may have caused some ap- prehension among the shareholders of the company.
 Yesterday afternoon J. F. Me Cornell brought in the regular week ly shipment of bullion from the Gold Road mill, the bar weighing $26,OOO. The bullion shipment last week weighed within a few dollars of s30,00O, being the largest bar ever taken out by the mill in one week, and making the production for four teen days of this month about S3,5O0 daily. The capacity of the mill is not taxed and it is thought that the production of bullion will increase every month from this time on un- til the full capacity is reached. The mine is said tO have hrokeu ora in the stopes sufficient to keep the mill running more than nine months if every miner was taken out and no further work was done. The com pany is increasing it's ore reserves thousands of tons monthly, and will be in position to supply a thousand tons of ore daily at all times, if the need comes.
 Two big automatic dump ore cars have been put on the Chloride Needles route by the Santa Fe, to expedite the shipment of ores from the Tennesse mines. The cars have a capacity of 100000 pounds, and are built of rolled steel plates. It is expected that several more of this class of ore cars will be put on this line covering Kingman, Mineral and Chloride, where better than 200 tons will be shipped every day to the smelters

Returns After Absence Of Quarter Of A
 Century
Chief Quartermaster Of Department Served
 Here in 70'S
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Major Amos W. KimbaH. chief quartermaster of the Department of
 the Colorado, who arrived in Pres
 eott yesterday morning from the southern part of Arizona, on mill
 tary duties pertaining to his rank,
 1t will be agreeably learned by many
 residents of this city, returns after
 an absence of over a quarter of a
 century. In the far away days, he
 was with his father, the late General
 Amos s. Kimball, when the latter
 was stationed at Fort Whipple, Major
 Kimball then being in the service in
 a civil capacity. In recalling the
 past, he states that the old has given
 way to the new, and that Fort
 Whipple of his time has vanished so
 far as the old landmarks are to be recalled. He came to this section
 with General Miles and followed
 that officer later to the field in
 Southern Arizona.
 In speaking of the trouble in Mex
 ieo, Major Kimball states that press reports sent out are misleading as to the true situation and gross ex- aggerations are evident after an in- vestigation is made. He accompanied General Schuyler from one end to the other of the boundary line, in the Department, and found the disturb ed zone that is pictured with revolu- ton rampant and battles galore, not warranting the highly eolored re- ports. While the American soldiers are preserving strict neutrality, and the patrol of the border is maintained on dihgent lines, the situation is clearly one of peaceful repose and nothing alarming whatever has taken place on the American side to oc- easiOn any other than a placid and monotonous routine of duty While 1t is true occasional skirmishes occur the casualties have been greatly magnified, and if the revolution is to continue it is the prevailing be- lief that the coming of the warmer months will see it under way on a more extended basis.
 It will be interesting for residents of Prescott to learn that General Schuyler, who succeeded General E. D. Thomas, retired, to the command of this Department, eontemplates paying Fort Whipple and this city a visit within the next two weeks. He has been along the border looking the situation over and is en route to his headquarters at Denver. Gen eral Schuyler is not unknown to the residents of Arizona or this partie- ular section. He first arrived in 1874, and served at every point throughout the Territory in the fam ous ten year war against the Apaehes. He was in the field adia- cent to Prescott and his record is favorably remembered by many of the surviving pioneers of that day.
 After attending to his duties at Fort Whipple, Major Kimball will proceed to Camp Apache, and from that post will return to his head quarters at Denver. He was greeted by many friends and ae- luaintanees of the era when he first arrived here.

LEANS WALL0P THE FATS
IN A F|vE.|NN|NG CONTEST
Arvada Business Men Have a Good
Time Tuesday and Fire De-
partment is Benefited.

The big ball game was pulled
off on schedule time Tuesday af-
ternoon and although Every
body loves fat man." they
didn't love them hard enough on
this occasion as the Leans won
the game with ease by a score of
2S to 25, even defeating one of
the umpires who was a fat man
and persisted in making his de-
cisions in favor of the Fats.
1t was a ripping game, but the
first two innings easily demon
strated that the big portly gen
tlemen headed by the ''rolly-
polly" Sun man were not in the
same class with the bunch of tel
ephone-pole-like ball tossers and
at the beginning of the third in
ming the score stood 10 to z. As
this was becoming uninteresting
the Leans decided to loosen up
and let the ''ponderous" gentle
men make a few scores to even
things up so that the audience
would continue to be interested
in the game. With this inten-
ton the Leans allowed a number
of runs to be scored and the rest
of the game kept just enough in
the lead to be on the safe side at
the end.
Not only was the game a howl

Az is the case with most
sports the history of bull fighting
shows a motive for its existence.
The game was instituted for the
encouragement of proficiency in
the use of martial weapons and
for the celebration Of festal oc-
casions. Down to the sixteenth
century it was a prerogative of
the aristocracy. Accidents were
very frequent. In 1912 no less
than ten men lost their lives in
one fight. The present form of

citizens.
NOTES OF THE GAME.
Harry Dennis makes a splendid
umpire and there was very little
objection to his decisions.
F. c. Murchison who acted as
umpire of the bases for while
was a fat man and allowed his
sympathies to run in that direc-
ton on several decisions.
A. w. Armstrong, captain of
the fats, tried out three of his
double professional slab artists
but they were all treated alike
and could not stem the tide of the
whirlwind playing of the Leans.
Sub after sub was put in and
the entire lineup of the Fats
was changed in the strenuous ef-
fort of their manager to find
players that could cope with
their more active opponents.
Wesley Staley held down first
in great shape and also made
several good hits when up to bat.
1t was worth double the ad-
mission to see some of the stunts

Letter FROM ARMADA BOY
TOURING THE OLD COUNTRIES
Some Very Interesting Details of a Bull
Fight Which He Witnessed
While in Spain.

sport is much less dangerous for
the man and far mora cruel for
the beast. Since the middle of
the eighteenth century it has be-
come a public spectacle, where
professional fighters display their
prowess. There is now in Spain
over 25O "Plazas de Toros" or
bull rings.
AS the name indicates, the en-
closure is in the shape of a ring.
The arena is separated from the
seats of the spectators by a
wooden fence about five feet high
behind which runs a narrow pas
sage. The seats are arranged
in an ascending circle. The Arena
and most of the seats are exposed.
The ring at Madrid is built in the
Moorish style, accommodating
IA, 600 spectators. 1t has a diam
eter of 1886 feet. It is provided
with a hospital for the wounded,
and a chapel where the fighters
prepare for the combat by prayer
and partaking of the Holy Eu-
charist.
The bulls are specially reared,
generally on the plains Of Andal-
usia. They must not be more
than five years old and range in
value from 5000 to $500. A few

is armed. He sprang madly
toward one man and another who
allowed the bull to vent his fury
by dashing at the colored cloak
and then vaulting the barrier.
When the bull has been suf-
ficiently wearied the second act
begins, when the banderilleros,
on foot, and unarmed, meet the
full charge of the infuriated
beast, jump cleverly to one side
as he nears them, and stick the
banderilleras in his neck as he
passes. These are barbed darts,
ornamented with streamers of
colored paper. The planting of
these darts takes place from the
side or from the front. saw
the banderillero stand still until
he had planted the two darts and
so was almost touching the bull.
SiX of these are fastened in the
BULLS shoulder, who tries, by
many means to dislodge them.
After this teasing, madden
ing and exhausting has gone
on for some time, the president
gives the signal for the third and
last act of this cruel and bloody
drama. The Espada, the hero
Of the day, armed with red
cloth and a sword, approaches
the box of the president and
dedicates to him the death of
the bull. He then leases the
bull to see if he has left any
fight and to get him in the right
position for the death blow. The
first bull | saw slaughtered had
been so weakened by rushes and
by the loss of blood, which for
several minutes had spurted from
his nostrils and mouth, that he
deliberately lay down and could
not be made to rise, so the Pun
tillero pierced the spinal marrow
with a dagger. The case with
the second bull was otherwise,
He sprang at the cloak of the
Espada, who nimbly sprang to
one side and plunged the sword
to the hilt through the animals
neck. If the stroke is properly
dealt the animal falls at once. In
this instance the attempt was
not successful and the bull sprang
again at the man, who jumped
aside, got another sword and
then finished his victim amid the
roars OF applause of the populace.
The espada then walks around
the arena smiling and bowing
and receiving the cheers and COM
pliments of the crowd while the
mules and assistants drag off the
dead horses and bulls. The sand,
saturated with blood, is hoed
into piles and fresh sand sprin-
kled over the spots to cover up
the traces of murder, This is
done after each bull is killed and
the butchery goes on until six or
eight bulls and perhaps twice as
many horses are done away with.
If a horse is only wounded by
the horns of a bull it is taken
out to be used another time.
On this day the program indi-

are placed IN the dark cells a0-
joining the arena whence they
enter the arena direct. The bull
fighters too are generally the
Andalusian peasants. Outside
the ring one may recognize them
by the short pig-tail in which
they wear their hair. They
are very we'll paid averaging
perhaps from $1,000 to $4,000
a year, while a popular Espada
will clear many times that
amount. In one season an Es-
pada who had killed 225 bulls,
netted no less than $75, 900.
went early to the ring to see
the thousands of people assemble
and to watch for all, prelimi-
naries. Judging from the days
crowd it is wrong for one to be-
lieve that Spanish women are
lust as enthusiastic over the fight
as the men. This day the ring
was packed and the proportion
of women present was very small.
The men gathered in the arena
to chatter over the prospects of
the day. In a few seconds, it
seems, they are cleared from the
arena to find their seats. The
fight is held, under the patronage
Of some city or provincial official,
Who gives the signal to start,
with a handkerchief. Two police
officers then ride into the arena,
clad in old Spanish dress and ac-
companied by the sound of drums
and trumpets. They circle the
arena to see that tits clear. Then
follows the brilliant professional
entrance of the bull fighters dur
which the band plays military
march. BY the way, this was to
me the most enjoyable of the
whole affair. - At the head of
the procession walk the Espadas
with their "Understudies" who
take their place in case of acci-
dent; afterwards come the Band
erilleros, the mounted Picadores
and the attendants on foot with
the teams of mules used in drag
ging off the dead horses and
mules. All are gayly dressed in
many colored silks and velvets
with tassels and gilt exactly as
you have seen them in pictures.
After bowling their greetings,
those not fighting retire. The
president throws the key of the
pen into the ring, a policeman
picks it up, hands it to the gate
keeper, who in turn opens the
den and the bull dashes into the
arena.
think l shall never forget the
anxious moment when the first
bull leaped into the arena, dazed
and bewildered for the moment
by the sight of thousands of
people encircling him. 1t seemed
only a few seconds, during which
time he paved the ground, until
he sized up the situation, and
with lowering horns and with
eyes that shot fire in their glance,
he rushed madly toward the near
est horse and his rider. held
my breath in anxious fear, and
was nearly sickened by the aw-
full sight that met my eyes. The
worn-out old nag, helplessly
blindfolded, had received full in
it's side the sharp horns Of the
angry bull. Blood spurted forth
like from a fountain. The poor
horse gave a cry of fright and
agony, shivered, shook and a few
seconds, fell dead. In the mean
time it's rider had dismounted,
the bull having been drawn off
by the waving Of the colored
cloaks Of those on foot. In less
than five minutes the bull had
gored and killed three horses. In
one instance, both the horse and
its rider, the picador were over.
