Amateur Bull Fight

At Arles in Provence, on the FEte of the Assumption, was held the annual amateur bull fight, in which the swains of the sunny South of France display their skill and courage to their admiring sweethearts.

On this occasion the bull was in a bad temper before he was let into the arena. The moment he was released he became maddened and jumped into the enclosure where the amateur fighters were waiting. Quick as a flash they jumped into the grandstand. The crowd took fright and fled panic-stricken to the top tier of seats. The grandstand gave way. Four people were killed. Twenty-five were injured.
