The Ball Ficlit.
The regular procession which the bull
fighters give each day of the fight, pa-
raded our streets yesterday morning. In
the afternoon the second of the series of
games was enacted in the arena, with
tfie results of Friday. A i umor was
.passed ei» the streets yesterd.i\- afternoon
that a picadore had beeu goretl to death
by an infuriated beast, hut it was attrib-
uted as a bit of Irony on the whale show.

Stolen Property.
The police afiicers of this city took a
round yesterday searching tho Jacals on
the outskirts of t®vvn, and captured a lot
of stolen property. Any person having
had property stolen fiotn them would do
well to inspect the lot stored in the mar-

County Commissioners.
Yesterday morning Comujissiou«i
Julian went to Yelets aud met tba boarc
who decided the proper &la_'e f«»r hold-
ing their session uoder the decree of
.ludge Iiogci s, would be El Paso. Ac-
cordingly they came up this afternoon
and at half past three they met in the
city council ror.na with Judge Rogers in
tiie chair. One of their first actions was
«r ■ -
to order the sheriff t® at once remove the

hoaks, tlocuments and furniture belong-
ing to offices ®f the clerk and sheriff to
El Faso. It was moyed that the b®ard

to contract fer two rooms for temporary
quarters for the clerk and the sheriff. A
like committee was formed to meet on
Monday t® contract for a large room
suitable for holding court in, and seyen
: offices attached to be the permanent
quarters of the court and its officers.
A resolutiou was "iead mem®ralizing
the Governor to ask the legislature to
pass a bill allowing the county commis-
sioners in counties where the court house
had been removed to another town, to
donate the old court house Slid lots for
school purposes, or to sell same at» they

be laid on the table until the next regular
meeting.
The board then adjourned to meet on

feast tLt tke fashion.
The county commissioners after they
bad finished the work of their adjourned
session last afternoon, were taken to th -
Fashion restaurant, where au elegant
supper awaited tliem. The following
gentlamen sat down together in this
order: Mayor Magoffin, presiding;
Capt. Garcia, county commissioner of
S.in £lizario; Don Josp Maria Gonzales,
county comna'ssioitei; Ward Blanchard,
county survnvor; A. T. Thompson, ab-

er; Judge liodgers, Wm. J. Fewell,
Manuel E. Flor«», .county clerk, Juan
Armaudares, county commissioner; J.
H. (Jonastock, deputy sheriff,"and Sheriff
White. Probably the party were not
aware that the fated thirteen ate together
until Mr. Comstock left.
Hearty toasts were given by Mayor
Magoffin, W. J.Fewell aud others, which
were admirably interpreted by our gifted
caunty clerk, Mr. Flores.
After the wining and dia<ng at the
Fashion restaurant they adjonraed to the
Ceutral hotel, where they held a levee
until train time.
Mr. Frank W. Gibb, a very plasant
gentleman from Silver City, N. M.,

Ancient Islcfca.
The oldest town in T» x.ts, if not in the
United States, is Ysleta, situated on the
Rio Grande, twelve miles from El Paso,
the county seat of Ei 1'aso county, hav-
ing a population of 2.100 souls. It is a
most interesting place and much of tliis
interest is derived from its great ar.tiqui-4'
ty and tho peculiarity of its people, iis
architecture, agriculture and ifs products.
It is by far the aldestjiown la Texas amti
there can be little d®u\>t that it is the eld-
est in the United States. It is said to be
a well established fact that a Spanish ex-
plorer or a military adventurer named
Coronado visited the place in 4540 and
f®nnd it then a papular and presperous
Indian community. He was immedi-
ately followed by the Franciscan friars,
who erected a church and established
schools the same j'ear. These faet3 are
said to be just as easily proved as any
facts in history. Now, if Ysleta was^a
populated town in 1540, it follows, with-
out a doubt, that it was a town betore
that time, and it was a town even hun-
dreds of years before. The same race of
pe®ple exists there to-day just as pure
bleoded, for the most part, as" when Cor-
onado found them 343 years ago engaged
in the same agricultural and mechauioal
pursuits as their forefathers in ages
back.—Texas Midland Review.
