Officer Franco is in a peck OF trouble.
Last night he shot dog that was tied
up in the second ward and the owner
of the dog had him arrested and taken
b. fore a Justice and his trial will occur
tomorrow at 2 O'Clock. The owner OF
the dog and a crowd of neighbors made
an unsuccessful attempt to mob Franco
for shooting the dog, but the officer
held the crowd at bay and afterwards
quoted them down. The charge
against Franco in the jus: ices court is
for rudy displaying a pistol.
Some of the Monday morning efforts
About's safety. They need not be.
Round about has been telling the
truth on the acts of certain people in
his column and does not fear results.
The truth hurts and by making it pub
lie it wi go far to reform the evils OF
a g owing city. While Round About
of en- mentions certain evils, he does
not Of ca mention names, unless it Is In
political matters. He simply states
facts and lets the public'draw their own
conclusions.
How very. very quiet the Ell Paso
press has been over the street railway
franchise on Myrtle avenue, Can 1t
be possible that Ell Paso's democratic
boss has passed word down the line for
his minions to keep mum on the fran
chise? If not, why this calmness over
a question that is of such vital impor-
lance to so many people of Ell PasO,
and matter of such vast Importance
to the future growth OF the city?
The game of ball last Saturday eve
ming between team from the Hooks
and team from Hose No. 2, proved
more interesting than was expected,
and the hose company carried off the
honors by score of ID to IA. The
strong and the Twos won the game
with their battery. The rOoters were
there in full force and Joe Fox and
Dutch Grandover made life burden
for the Hooks. Peg had his own no.
tions about umpiring and held his own
against the bowls of both sides and
while some of the decisions gave uni
versal dissatisfaction he was as fair
with one side as he was with the other.
The game will result in another game
5000, between the winners and Hose
No. l, or the engine company.
Aoolph Schultz, two cousins, last Satur-
day evening, was caused by tale bear

of these tales the latter retaliated by
hitting Julius and the latter went in to
do Adolph up and bystanders said he
succee ded. Tale bearers and tattlers
hi n ic M
need for trouble, and such trouble is
worse when it occurs between family
relations.

w. B. Hull who came up from the
City of Mexico last Saturday says that
a bad state of affairs exist there over
the slump in silver. Prices on foreign
commodities have gone up 20
per cent, and the merchants who deal
In foreign goods are in bad way to
meet obligations contracted months
ago when silver was higher. Trade is
good but the low price of silver and
high price of exchange has almost
caused a crisis with those who deal in
foreign goods. Manufactures of all
kinds are springing up throughout the
republic, but they are not yet capable
