Tex., says: At the bull fight at Ciudad Juarei yesterday-given yesterday-given for the American mining congress, there was a panic when Felix Robert, the French matador who claims to be the only matador of that nationality, was tossed in the air and carried from the arena bruised and bleeding. Later, the same bull, a ferocious beast from the ranch of Gen. Luir Terras, Governor Gov-ernor of Chihuahua, made a run and plunged its long, sharp horns through Matador Francisco Aloncio Piquero. tossing toss-ing him into the air first, then dragging him about the ring, blood streaming from the wounds in the man's body. The spectators spec-tators sickened at the sight, and women fainted and screamed to be carried out. The arena was packed with Americans from every section of the United States, few of whom had ever seen a bull fight, and for a time the situation was serious. Many men rushed from the sickening sight in horror, while ttie women in many instances were carried out unconscious. Order was finally restored, but most of the Americans left, deciding that they had already seen enough of the Mexican and Spanish national sport, although this was onlv the second bull tip for slaughter out of the four marked for the matador s swords. |
