One Animal So Noted for Its Fichrino
Qualities as to Be Deemed Invin-
eible-lmported Texan Fur

The toreador has not always been
the hero of the bull ring. There was
once bull that earned the piaudits of
Spanish arena on more than one oc-
casion by clearing IL of his an
| tagonists- Strangely enough the bull
| neither killed nor injured any man.
But he did put TO flight every toreador.
matador. picador, chulo or banderilero
who dared to enter the ring with him
and. although the crowds came 70 see
him slain, his conduct proved 50
valiant that the people demanded that
his life be spared
This bull was named Lechuzo His
nrst appearance in the arena was made
ar San Lucar. He so suddenly cleared
the ring of his enemies that the people
rose in admiration and demanded his
reprieve, for despite his bravery, he
would have been treacherously APP
preached and put to death in accord
ance with the usual practice had not
the people interviewed.
Again az Cordoba upon the healing
of the wounds inflicted upon him by
the picadors at San Lucar, Lechuzo
drove all his enemies before him and
again his life was spared at the de-
mand of the spectators.
SO in time Lechuzo began TO be re-
garded as invincible. and finally he
ended his days in peace ut the age of
ten years.
Some years ago herd of Texas
bulls were imported from their native
land TO Seville to give special attrac-
ton TO bullfight of more than ordi-
nary Importance. Those American
bulls furnished the SpaniardS with
some interesting sport.
The first of the intended victims
when confronted in the ring by horse
and picador wholly neglected the horse,
but paid instant and undivided atten-
tion TO the man. The bull beloved as
If from sheer delight at the anticipat-
ed encounter and attacked the picador
furiously. He pressed the fighter so
hard that, defense being useless. the
man sought safety in inglorious flight
by scaling the barrier erected between
the audience and the ring as pro.
vision of safety.
The picador was ardently and eff
fciently assisted over the barrier by
the horns of the animal and was fol-
lowed so closely that he narrowly eS-
capped with his life by reaching a con-
venient gallery. The bull did his best
to get at him, but, finding this impOs-
sible, looked about for other game.
The stone seats in the Enclosure at
Seville were ten feet above the ground.
and this height has always been an in
barrier for a bull, but
this time things were different. for as
soon as the Texan bull saw the throng |
above his head he stepped back. and |
the next instant he was among them. |
Before the people could escape he |
had tossed half dozen of them into |
the ring. but they were all rescued by |
the ring attendants. The stone seats |
cleared, the steer returned TO the |
ring. and seeing no one else to whom |
he might throw the gage Of battle, he |
look the exact center of the ring and |
beloved his defiance to the world. !
Meantime the management had get |
busy. and soldier with Mauser was
summoned from a nearby barracks
and the bulls life was inglo1ously
ended.
