Cinnamon Maintain a Nuisance
All Coon and Ong Shoe, two Chi
nese Vegetable men from East Ell Paso,
were fined $40 each with costs yester-
day by Justice Ellis for maintaining a
nuisance. 1t is alleged that they use
the refuse from the sewer for irriga-
ton purposes and Mayor Magoffin
testified that he had given them per-
mission to use the refuse
1t is said that two families who live
in that part of the city were sick for
"a long time and when they finally
moved away they got we'll at once.
1t is believed by some that a great
deal of the typhoid fever now prevail
ing in Ell Paso is caused by the foul
stencil from the gardens of these two
Cinnamon.
The defense tried to show where the
refuse in Chicago and several of the
larger eastern cities is used in the
gardens, but when the matter is full
ly explained it will be seen that the
arge cities where the refuse is used it
is thrown out on the ground and then
Immediately ploughed under, while
these Cinnamon do not plough it at
all.
The stencil from their gardens is
something terrible on still day and
something should be done at once to
stop them from using it.
Indictments Returned.
The grand jury met yesterday in
special session and returned the fol-
lowing six indictments:
Against Amanda Martinez, for burg

lei Paso VS.. University of Texas"
That is the way the game to be play
ed here on January 18th will be adj
vertised. The University of Texas is
the champion foot ball team of the
south and southwest and it will be a
rare treat for the citizens of Ell Paso
and the thousands of visitors who will
be here to attend the carnival. to see
them play a championship game. 1t
is even whispered that the Ell Paso
make victory possible.
At any rate Manager Hunter and
Chairman Hay of the entertainment
committee of the carnival signed a con-
tract today whereby Manager Hunter
of the FL Paso foot ball eleven is to
bring the University of Texas here for
a game during the carnival and Chair
man Hay is to see to it that nothing
else is to take place at the time of the
game
At first it was thought to have a foot
ball tournament held during the carni-
val and a subcommittee was appointed
by Mr.. Hay to look into the matter,
but when it was found that no dealings
were being made with the Ell Paso or
University CT Texas teams Manager
Hunter went to the executive commit
tee with his proposition which was ac-
cepted, and there will only be one game
of foot ball played here during the car
nival, but that game will draw hun
dreds of people from all over the state
of Texas as well as from New Mexico
and Arizona who would not attend the
carnival under any other Circumstance
eS.
One big game like the one described
above will mean more to the lovers of
the sport than a half dozen minor
games.
The boys were out last night for an
other stiff practice and afterwards took
a long run to get their wind in good
condition. There is some anxiety ex-
pressed about the Baird boys not COM
ing home in time for the first game
but they have given their promise that
they would and their friends believe
that they will stay with it. 1t will be
remembered that they played with the
Mesilla Park team for several years
and although it is known that they
would rather not play against them
still it is believed that they will do
all in their power to assist their home
team to win.
