For the benefit of those attending
the sham battle yesterday, - Mr.
Shepard the Genial Superintendent
of the M. & M. R. R. kindly had
one of the locomotives attached
to the string of cars, which carried
the throng of people to the station

A Shooting Sorapo.
As we go to press we léarn that
a difficulty occured at the Plaza de
Allende in Matamoror about 11.30
last night in which Jose Ramirez a
tailor by trade shot and mortally
wounded one Jose Hernandez. It
seems that Hernandez being drunk
began abusing the other using very
obscene language when Ramirez
drew a pistol and shot three times at
him, two shots missing him and the
other taking effect in the wounded
mans stomach, the wounded man
was taken to the civil hospital.
We could not learn for certain
whether Ramirez was apprehended
by the police or if he crossed the
muddy waters of the Rio Grande
to this glorious land of the free and
the brave.
Court Notes.
have pronounced the feats pure
military movements. Mexico is
justly proud of her army. The de-
monstrations on the sham battle
field, in commemoration of the
birthday of her renowned President
Porfirio Dias was a success, not-
withstanding the frequent showers
of rain that interfered during the
contest. Thousands of citizens from
each side of the Rio Grande wit-
nessed the battle and pronounced it
a military movement worthy of the
day; fought with all the improve-
ments known to military science.
The President of Mexico is appre-
ciated by her people. His efforts to
establish good government and give
to the people of Mexico peace and
prosperity has been successful to an
eminent degree; and Mexican peo-
ple aprecíate him; and never fail to
manifest their gratitude on all ap-
propriate occasions. President Diaz
like a true soldier, statesman and
gentleman as he is, devotes his time
and energy to the. interest of the
people who honored hi:n with the
'exalted position he occupies.
