Title	Bullfight at Gillett, Colo.
Creator(s)	Morgan, D. P.
Summary	The bullfight on August 24 or 25, 1895, takes place in the bullring built at the race track in Gillett, Colorado, for the occasion. Joe Wolfe was the organizer of the event which caused a scandal because of its cruelty to animals. The matador waves his cape at the bull, who paws the ground. Two other bullfighters are in the ring, with the mounted picadors; one of the horsemen is seven-foot-tall, long-haired Charlie Meadows, Joe Wolfe's partner. Spectators are in the stands behind the wood fence.
