The Bull Fight.

While the crowd at the bull fight
yesterday was not SO large as one the
Cinco de Mayo, yet the attendance
was very good. Probably twenty
five hundred people were present.
The bulls were not so fiery as those
last seen here, yet they were much
above the ordinary. The bull
fighters, however, were very good.
In fact, they put up the best exhibi-
tion ever seen here.
Manuel Munoz, "Andaluz." was
the star performer. 1t was the first
appearance of this matador at the
Plaza de Toros. His skill with the
capa and sword, coupled with a dare
devil spirit. kept the crowd constant
ly cheering him.
He apparently had no fear and his
daring stunts endangered his life
many times. Munoz reminds one of
"Corcita who was killed some
months ago at San Luis Potosi. Cor
cita" was very daring also. and IL
was in foolhardy moment that he
lost his life.
In yesterdays fight Munoz was so
reckless that "Vela' several times
drew the bull off, fearing that Munoz
might be injured In placing the
sword Munoz was also good II took
but one stroke to finish his first and
second bull
"Vela,' while not so brilliant a
fighter as Munoz, did some splendid
work. He was very clever with the
capa and his sword work was also
good
All in all the exhibition was a
go0done, as bull fights 90. and re-
fleets much credit upon the iKi-
pressario. Sr. Emile ]. Puig, who
made all the arrangement Five
bulls were killed and two horses sac.
riffred during the afternoon.

A FEARFUL PENALTY
FOR FEARFUL CRIME
Mob at Tyler Burned Negro at Stake
For Crime Against Young White
Girl.
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Waco, Texas, May 26-Dan Davis,
a negro, was burned at the stake by
an infuriated mob on Saturday morn
ing at Tyler, Texas. The crime which
caused the burning was a criminal
assault committed several days ago
upon young white girl in the
neighborhood.
A negro named George Price was
arrested at Waco several days ago on
suspicion, and just before the lynch
ing Davis in a confession implicated
Price in the crime also.
After completing the lynching at
Tyler the mob proceeded to Waco,
where they arrived early in the
morning, and demanded Price of the
sheriff. The latter told the mob he
was not in his custody, and gave per-
mission for the Tyler people to dele
gate a committee to search the jail.
The search was made but proved
fruitless, and it is believed that
Price was spirited away to the
Huntsville penitentiary.
When the mob found that their
prey had escaped them they dispersed
and returned to their homes.
