Carl Marzolf, the toreador in the | ease, fought, not for the cheers of ® crowd, but for a woman's life. A) lonely, pasture hillside was the rena; a pitchfork, instead of a/ word, was the weapon, and two or} three scared women instead of a holiday throng watched the fight. Marzlf won. "Miss Agatha Wellner, a music teacher, had oftén ventured into the | pasture on her father’s farm where | the bull was kept, but he had never made any unfriendly overtures. This day he charged her. For some time she dodged him) among the trees of an old orchard, | then ran for the fence, where she | fell between a stretch of wire net tings and a thorny hedge. The bull could just reach her by stretching | the netting. Each"time she tried to rise he knocked her back among the | thorns. | A woman neighbor came with a/ Pitchfork, but was unable to make effective use of it against the bull, | who was now genuinely angry Marzolf arrived and, fork in hand, | climbed the fence. Each time the bull charged, he sidestepped and dabbed. On one of these bouts @rove the fork #0 deep into animal that it was jerked from his| hands and carried some distance be fore it worked loose and put. He recovered it in time. Finally the bull had enough of it. Files Suit Against | 4 School for $1,382 In a complaint filed Thursday in| 4 # superior court, D. E.
