hands full lodging this bull.
Once again Marchcnero displayed his
nerve and skill with the banderillas.
wrist he took a pair of banderillas the
length of Il cigar, stood before the charg-
ing animal and drove the barbs home.
While his hands were being tied the
audience shouted disapproval of this
foolhardy deed, but in less time than it
takes to tell, the banderillas were placed
evenly between the animals shoulders.
The spectators went wild and the band
struck up the ever popular "Diana."
Stepping forward to finish the animal,
Marchenero was received with loud APP
plause. lie took Il careful aim and drove
the sword in up to the hilt, the point
protruding on the under side of the ami
nal, which fell dead INSTANTLY. 1t was
several minutes before the applause
quoted down.
Extra bull number two was the larg-
est fought during the afternoon. He was
also the cause of Il little excitement
toward the last when Pastor stepped
forward to kill his, bull. just as he was
about to make the thrust, the bull raised
his head and managed to get Pastor
under the arm pit, tearing his jacket,
and it was only by quick foot work that
the man escaped. The same thing oc-
Cured when he attempted to make his
second thrust. Five minutes elapsed re-
fore the animal went to his knees and
it was necessary to finish him with a
"descabellO."
Thousands witnessed Yesterdays
fight. This fight was as good as any
that has ever been givin in Matamoros
and a great deal better than some that
are given in Mexico City during the
professional season.
Another bull fight will be held on
April 6.

PLANT A TREE.

The retail merchant has become a DOW
erful ally to the shade tree propaganda
and thousands of trees have been given
away as al advertisement by the local
merchants of Texas this season. Ger
tainly no merchant could afford to spend
money to better advantage than in pro
viding a friendly shade for the perspir-
ing populace while they ponder that
the Price is the Thing" or that Smith
Sells it for Less"
Aesthetic beauty must ever rest upon
industry and it is fortunate that the
shade tree has been able to plant its
roots deeply into the rich soil of trade
and likewise it has brought the friendly
cOmpanionship of the tree within reach
of every citizen. Plant a tree.-Com-
mcrcial Secretaries.

DEPUTY SHERIFF IS SHOT.

A. Falcon, a deputy sheriff, was shot
and slightly injured late Saturday night
in a house in the eastern part of the city.
The shot is said to have been fired ac-
cidently, and no arrests were made. The
bullet slightly injured the finger of the
left hand. and the elbow was struck by
the same missile. A 3S-calibre automatic
bullet. said to have been the one that
struck Falcon, was turned over to the
lieutenant of police, O.. NJ. PUG.

made a couple of charges upon the
horses, but was repulsed and withdrew
to the other side of the arena. After
this he became quite tame, and in order

to get lbs foe III proper position. After
some pretty daring work with the
'muleta' he raised his sword, and meas

sword home and the animal fell dead at
his feet. He was accorded tremendous
applause, and the band struck up

instance, he kneeled down and allowed
the bull to make a charge at him and, as
soon as the animal had passed safely by,
he stood up. He received a great ovation
for this act. After a little more cape
work, and the banderillas were placed,
"MarchenerO" after playing the beast for
a little while, made an attempt to dis
patch him but failed. On the second at
tempt, the bull jumped the fence and
fully fifteen minutes elapsed before the
animal was forced back into the ring.
"MarchenerO" finally succeeded in getting
the animal in the proper position, but
this time his thrust was a little too
much to one side and the beast was fin

TWO EXTRAS.
Although only four bulls were IN

H BULL FIGHTS
MANY FIGHTS GIVEN IN MEN
ICO CITY-SIX BULLS FOUGHT.

After having had to postpone the bull
fight in Matamoros twice on account OF
bad weather, Manager Emilio PUG OF
the bull ring succeeded in pulling off a
bull fight yesterday afternoon which
would have been a credit to the manage
ment of Ell TOreo bull ring in Mexico
City.
The two principals in yesterdays per
Torrance were Luis MunOz, popularly
known as "M~archenero,' and ErnestO
Pastor. Both of these men are famed
,matadOrs and on several occasions have
delighted the bull ring fans Of both
'MatamOrOs and Brownsville. With them
was an excellent troup of "banderillos'
viz: Jose CantOral, Joe Gonzales, Fer
min Espinosa and Jose Miranda. All
of these men displayed both skill and
bravery in placing the 'banderillas' and
ssome very graceful cape work was also
exhibited. The three "%picadOres," Fran
cisco Oliyera, EliseO CARA and Antonio
Juarez, proved to have come from an eX-
cellent school and as a result, NJ horses
were killed.
The bulls were from the famous Tru-
jillO ranch in the state Of Zacateeas.
They were of good class and it might be
said put up a better fight than a great
many which are fought in the larger
cities of the republic.
At 3:41 sharp, the bugle in the judges
stand sounded its shrill notes and the
troupe Of fighters came marching in to
the tune of "El M~achaquito."
Four minutes later, the buglc sounded
again and the first bull entered the
arena. He was a well built animal and
proved rather dangerous for the fighters,
as he would urn toe quickly and make a
dash at the man instead of the cape.
Several tmies, he charged the horses but
the "picadOres" held him off in a. most
skillful manner and as a result, only one
of the horses received q slight wound.
BanderillerO CantOral then placed an
excellent pair of banderillas the length
of q cigar between the bulls shoulders.
This act drew a hearty applause. Two
more pair of banderillas were placed
and "M%archenerO" came forward. Some
very graceful cape work was exhibited
at this point by all of the members of
the troup. Finally "Marchenero' sue
ceeded in getting the animal in the prop
err position and with a single thrust Of
the sword, he sent the bull to the place
where all good bulls 90. The time from
the entrance of the bull until he fell
dead was thirteen minutes.
With a couple of bounds the second
bull was in the center of the arena. At
ter taking a good look around, he under
