Battle Between Them Witnessed By 5,500 People. 5 EL: Pasb, "ex., Jan 11.--The fight between a Tiagua bull and a Bengal tiger in the hull ring in Ciudad Juarez. Mexico, opposite El Paso, yesterday, was most ferocious and will result in the death of both ani- mals. The sickening spectacle was witnessed by 5,500 people, - largely Ametieans, and many of them tour- ists, who stopped over here especially to witness the barbgric spectacle. i ter thal 'Lally "had been dispateied in the regulation manner; the star pér- formance was pulled off. The two ani- mals, enclosed in an iron cage about thirty feet square; were brought to- gether and the battle between the en- raged brutes commenced. The bull was first taken into the enclosure and given the usual bull light tortures to arouse his ire and then the - iron cage containing .. the: tiger was wheeled up to the entrance, but the tiger refused to get out and open the battle and the bull attempt- ed to 'get inth the small cage and get at his adversary. The bill was badly scratched about the face. Finally the tiger came from his enge and the bull gored the cat with a long sharp horn as he emerged. With a screech of pda, the 'cat, with a pow- erful lunge, broke the bull's right leg in return and then the two animals into the fight for their lives. The tiger was able to spring out of the way of the bull in a number of instances, bat when the big, heavy animal eadght his adversary it went hard with the tiger. The bull step- ped wpon the tiger in one instance and there was a crunching of ribs audible in the seats of the amphi- theatre, : The bull also disabled the tiger in the back in a short time, and after that the fighting was very tame and was soon stopped: by the cries of the Americans for pity, while the Mexicans cheered the brutal performance and wanted it to proceod. It was declared a draw by the judges, and where any- thing was wagered on the result - the money was pulled down. A MORAL PEST Was ' So Characterized By An Irish Judge.
