Made REAL SPORT
Bulls Not Always Easy Victims
! in Arena.
One Animal So Noted for Its FlohtIno
Qualities as to Be Deemed Invin-
| eible-Imported 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 II 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 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 in 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
the people interviewed.
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-
mand 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 attrac-
ton to bullfght 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 ef-
dSSlSleu over Tie ny
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 inclosurs at
Seville were ten feet above the ground.
and this height has always been an In
surmountable 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 q 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 ingloriously
ended.

have been well authenticated reports
in Westminster and other parts of

votes for their two men. Those to
whom such offers were made prompt
