Romulus 18 Defeated In Bull Ring Duel At Juarez
Romulus the Italian strong man, famed for wrestling giants, attempted to conquer a 1,600 pound four year old short horn bull in Ciudad Juarez across from El Paso. After two hours of peril, the bull tossed him twice, wounds and bruises mounting, until he finally yielded. Two professional bullfighters aided him but he failed to secure a finishing hold. Authorities replaced torn horn sheathing as the bull charged, and the crowd dispersed after continued harassing. Romulus carried bruises head to foot with an injured thumb and swollen eye, saying he had twice done the feat in private and three times in interior Mexico, this being his first failure. The animal, selected by Juarez officials, was not a typical Mexican bull.
