The us ual Sunday bull fight at Juares, Mex ico, waa accompanied by -a somewhat unusual feature, the goaded animal turning the table on - tbe , matadore. Several. bulla bad .been, brought into the arena, but the amusement they Turmsnea was rawer tame from a Mexican standpoint There were many American! among the spectators, who "were somewhat disgusted with tbe brutal show, as horse after horse was gored by the tormented bulls, while the plcadores and matadores es caped scathless. Thl waa all changed, however, when Jarllgo, the premier mataodre was preparing to thrust his long double edged sword Into the heart of the fifth bun which had faced him. It stood In the center of the arena, bleeding from many wounds. Suddenly the bull made a quick lunge for the fighter. So unexpected was the attack' that the fighter was unable to make the cus tomory aide step.. He waa caught on the bull's horns in the middle of the body and tossed about like a toy bal loon. Before he could be rescued, Jarligo's clothing was literally strip ped from the body and his right leg and his body were severely lacerated. It will probably prove his last bull fight, as It is not thought that he will be able to step Into the arena again as a matadore. As the bull tossed the man high In the air, receiving his body on its horns only to again toss it up, the Americans among the spec tators cheered the aimal loudly, which called forth a storm of hisses from the Mexicans present, and for a time It looked as though there would be a colBslon between the tw rans.
