Disproved the Slander.

There is a Mexican bull fighter—El Curita—whose enemies have made the statement against him that he had been beaten by a woman. He denied this and, notified the local newspapers that the actual facts were that he had knocked the woman down four times with a chair. Moreover, he had been sentenced to Jail, but his eight-day sentence had been commuted on the payment of a fine, which he construed as a vindication of his character.
