Title	Mexican bullfight, Gillett, Colorado
Creator(s)	Poley, H. S. (Horace Swartley)
Summary	Bullfight on August 24 or 25, 1895, in the wood bullring at the race track in Gillett, Colorado. Joe Wolfe organized the event which caused a scandal because of its cruelty to animals. The matador, Jose Marrero (with cape) and one of the banderillos (holding banderillas) watch the leaping bull, who appears to have a cape over his head. Spectators are in the stands behind the wood fence; the grandstand is decorated with bunting.
