An Anticipated Bloody Riot Between
Bexar Botas and Guar
aches Prevented.
Alderman Belknap's resolution, intro
duced at Tuesdays council session, call
ing for an ordinance forbidding the use
OF the streets for political and sectional
demonstrations, was good one. but
could have extended further and in
cluded circus professions and parades,
unless allowed by the city marshal This
resolution was made necessary by the
fact that current rumor was afloat last
Wednesday afternoon, when the result
Of the recent election became known,
that the mugwumps, or peoples party,
had made arrangements for a mock fu-
neral procession to bury the defeated
candidates in effigy. AS some OF these
defeated candidates were MeXioans. IL
was asserted that a crowd OF 200 determ-
ined Mexicans, fully armed had collected
at q favorable position west OF the San
Pedro, Wednesday night, for the sole
purpose OF causing and creating a
bloody riot II the said procession start
ed. From several gentlemen well ac-
quainted with the facts, IL Is learned
that these MeXicans did assemble at the
house OF Mexican not far from San
Luis street, and IL Is fact that Marshal
Shardein called in all his policemen and
that Sheriff Lewis called all his deputies
and massed them at the police station in
readiness to suppress any disturbance
that arose. The leaders OF the mug
wumps heard Of the intended action Of
the Mexicans, and were advised by some
OF the officers not to do anything to
cause breach Of the peace and desist-
ed, getting, instead, 4 band, and serenad-
ing the elected candidates. Later in
the night, some Of the officers, not see
Ing any trouble coming up went across
the San Pedro to find the Peoples pro-
cession, and instead, found them
serenading. Then the news reached
the Mexioans and they disbanded, and
thus what would have been a bloody
page In the annals OF Bexar was left
unspotted.

What Superstition Does

The influence of ignorance and superstition
is immense. There is in San Antonio, a
female fortune teller, who levies a consider
able toll of of the ignorant and superstitious
who go to her, when they fancy themselves to
be in trouble or threatened with danger Fore
seeing the fulure is an attribute of Deity, and
Is not bestowed on mortals, but ignorant and
superstitious persons totally lose sight of this
fact and conceive that those who hold them
able to see clear through the veil that hides
the events of the future from the human
mind. THIS pretext of telling fortunes is a
swindling dodge, and should be punished as
fraud.
