The Ball.

There was a dance in Tombstone
 Saturday night. A building formerly
 occupied as butcher shop by A Bauer
 was rented for the occasion, and when
 the sun went down the curtain went
 up and stayed up until Sol turned up on the other side of the house on
 Sunday morning. Everything went along smoothly until toward midnight
 when the Americans present com menced to take sides against the Me1icans, and then Rome did howl. The forces of the former were com manded by stranger who was called Bob" while the forces of the Mexi- cans were like Garza's-badly scatter ed.
 Bob" gathered his forces in front of the City hall, and at the top of his sonorous voice, proclaimed to the world in general that one of the op- posing forces of doubtful percentage had threatened to kill him, and that no man could do that with impuniiy The volley of oaths that accompan- jed this declaration hid the moon from view, and in the darkness the final charge was made.
 When the moon came out from behind the smoke of the battle, the hghss in the hall were out, and all was as quiet as the grave, save the groan- ing of Mexican who was unauestion- able and badly left on the field.
 The casualties as determined on Sunday morning were: the remains of the Mexican which are still swelling with emotion over their i'll luck in getting into tine county jail on q charge Of assault with a knife upon Chas Simmons; the arrest of the lat Ter, and a payment of ten dollars inc, and not least of all the casualties s the disgust of those who attempted 'leep in the neighborhood, when they cad that only one man was hur.;. he scrimmage.

The free list, as far as the PRosPEc- TOR is concerned has been suspended In looking over the subscription books on the first of the new year it was dis covered that the complimentary busi- ness was growing to such large pro portions that it was deemed advisable to turn over a new leaf, and stop it entirely. No one need feel offended. There may be many merchants m town, who give away several hundred dollars worth of goods exery year, but the PRosPEcToR cannot afford it un- less the looked for boom hits us, Tn which case every subscriber will get . ehromo.

 He replied "I will if there should be d called session."
 "Your opponents say that you are opposed to the free coinage of silver. What have you to say in replyH"
 ''I say what have said all the time l have spoken often in congress and out of it, for it and have already voted for it. butt do not believe that it would in the slightest manner relieve the financial distress of the country. The people of the east of all parties and classes, firmly believe that free coinage would be disastrous to them, the people of Texas, at least many of them, think it would be great boon to them.
