Alderete a Genial Host.
Ike Alderete the entertainer of the
day, was the first one on the grounds
and mad everything prepared for ms
visitors, seats having been arranged an
the shaded arbor for the diners. Then
he went to the house where he ROBBED
himself in an old Mother Hubbard at
tire. skirt, waist and sunbOnnet of a
lurid red. and dispensed the refresh
anents with the assistance of a number
of those present. Many helped them
selves.
Many Kid Roasters.
Then came the kid roast. \ large PIT
in which fire had been built, was ar
ranged specially for the occasion. When
all the wood had been reduced to en-
bers. and long poles provided for the
roasting. each man secured One-half u
kid, stuck the long pole through 1T and
roasted it over the hot pit. Some pre-
ferred to run a wire through the meat
and hold it from either side OF the pit,
thereby avoiding the heat arising from
the Goals.
With the roast kid was served chill,
fried liver and bacon, frijoles, cooked
Mexican style, and best of all, tOrtillas
that had been made with green corn
meal.
Following the dinner there was a tug
of war between two teams composed OF
10 men each, but neither side won, the
heat being too great for the men to
keep up the exercise. Some went back
to eat more of the kids that had been
furnished.
Large Attendance.
There was the largest number present
that has ever attended one of these kid
roasts. 60 kids being killed and eaten
While it had been the custom heretofore
for each man to kill his own kid and
prepare it, this year the plan adopted
was different, in that the kids had all
been killed and prepared ready for roast

PREACHER TAKES 4
SLAM At ALDERETE
SUNDAY PICNIC
Rev. G. S. Wright Says Men
of Ell PaSO Hadn't Moral
Courage to Stay
Away.

Rev. Caspar s. Wright, preaching at
Trinity Methodist church Sunday even
ing, attacked Ike Alderete and his pic
nickers, who he said, had desecTated the
Sabbath.
The subject of his sermon was Peters
Denial of His Lord and he referred to
the man who had not the courage of his
convictions and made the direct state
ment What we need Is a courage to
hook at things in their right light and
then take a stand against the wrong.
If we had enough of that kind of cOur-
age in FL Paso, would Ike Alderete be
allowed to haul off a carload of beer and
carry a lot of our white men down TO
Ysleta to drink 1t? Such o thing IS
shame on cur civilization and an out
rage on decency But Ike doesn't care;
he's past that. And vet some OF US
hook up with cattle like that. You can
tell Ike that if you want to"
He also referred to Capt. Thomas A.
Davis, of the Military institute, who
was singing in the choir, and, turning to
him, said, i understand some prOIni-
nent men have been in favor OF Capt
Davis resigning from the institute be
cause he is too religious. Whenever we
get down on a man because he has too
much religion it IS time we speak out.
The man that. made that statement
about Capt Davis ought to be blind
folded and backed into the Rio Grande,
whoever he is.
There is a lack of moral courage
among the men who went TO that Aide
rete picnic They knew it was not the
proper thing, but they went because
they were afraid TO offend sentiment IN
local politics.
Down in the prohibition towns of
Texas ask any man of prominence what
he thinks of Gone johnson and he will
tell you he is a great man. Other men
in FL PasO have the same opinion, but
they are afraid to express it and they
come out and say that Oolquitt should
be governor and Johnson should be
drummed out of the state because he
stands for prohibition.
There IS too much backing down on
the issue; a lack of courage such as
Peter possessed at the time he denied
his Lord Christians should dare TO be
Christians. They should be able tOrde-
termine between right and wrong and
stick up for the right no matter what
happens.
1T is easier to die for religion than
to live for it. There are many men in
FL PasO today who would die fer the
right and yet, living, they fear to come
out openly and attack the existing evils
because they fear criticism. They have
not the courage of their convictions.
Such is not the true spirit of Chris
tianity"

 That was the beginning and the end of the battle. Constable Murphy was informed of the encounter and he soon arrested Holland. Harrop was put into the care of a physician, who said he did not think that his patient was des perately wounded, but he could not inn mediately be sure.
