Bulls Not Always Easy Victims

One Animal So Noted for Its Fighting Qualities az to Be Deemed invin- cible-lmported Texan Fur
 nished Excitement.

The toreador has not always been the hero of the bull ring. There was once bull that earned the plaudits of spanish arena on more than one oc- casion by clearing 1t 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 10 enter the ring with him; and, although the crowds came to see him slain. his conduct proved so valiant that the people demanded that his life be spared.
 This bull was named Lechuzo. His first appearance in the arena was made at San Lucar. He so suddenly cleared the ring of his enemies that the people rose ID admiration and demanded his reprieve. for despite his bravery, he would have been treacherously ap, preached and put to death in accord ance with the usual practice had not ihe people intervened.
 Again at 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 u'and of the spectators.
 So in time Lechuzo began to be re- garded as invincible, and finally he ended his days in peace at the age of ten years.
 Some years ago a herd of Texas bulls were Imported from their native land to Seville to give special attiac- Ton to bullfight of more than ordi- nary importance. Those American bulls furnished the Spaniards with some Interesting sport.

 The picador was ardently and ef- aciently assisted over the barrier by the horns of the animal and was fol- lowed so closely that he narrowly es- caped with his life by reaching a con- yenient gallery. The bull did his best to get at him, but, finding this ippos- sible. looked about for other game.
 The stone seats in the inclosure at Seville were ten feet above the ground, and this height has always been an in- surmountable barrier for 8 bull, but this time things were different. for as soon as the Texan bull saw the throag 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 took the exact center of the ring and beloved his defiance to the world. Meantime the management had got busy. and a soldier with a Mauser was summoned from nearby barracks and the bulls life was iDgloriously ended.
