MATADOR PREVENTS PANIC
[by CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.]
MEXICO CITY, January 3.
A matador, Liberio Ruiz, is being hailed as a hero after calmly playing and killing a bull, and consequently preventing a panic among 24,000 spectators, while the strongest of the recent earthquakes swayed the high steel concrete arena.
Pretending to ignore the shock, the matador fascinated the crowd, although it seemed to be in the grip of terror. A band lent its aid by playing loudly. The earthquake stopped at the moment the bull wa§ slain. Only a handful of spectators departed.
