Took Down the Decorations.

Last Friday night at the bail given
in New Laredo uy the young men in
honor of Miss Stella GUOiman, of Ell
PasO, one little incident occurred of an
unpleasant nature, though not suf-
ficIent to mar the pleasure Uf the even
ing. The ballroom, especially the en-
trance, had been hand Omely Graped
with Mexican and American flags. 1t
seems that this KIND of decOrat on Is
not to the liking of all MeXlcan cltl-
Zens.
Late Friday afternoon Judge Elizan-
do of New Laredo, received an anO-
nymous letter informing him OF these
decorations and ceiling him that as
such things were contrary TO the law,
that the flags must be taken down be-
fore ten o'clock, e.se there would be
trouble The letter Was of SO very
threatening a nature, that Judge
EliZandO took it to sir Pedro Arguei-
les. Together they discussed the mat
ter. but as neither Of them knew OF
apyLnlng illegal about dressing tbs
hall with the nags tney did not order
the flags down. But some one else
thinking it best to be on the safe siue
removed them. Now the young mel
are mad, aoous the letter having been
written aL all, and because the oecOra.
tions which they. had been at suct
trouble aoo expense to put up, had 10
taken down before lhoy had finished
the baII-Msx'can Herald's New La
reoo CORES pondence.
