A niumlcr Discovered.
The county board of supervisors mot in
special session yesterday. The principal
business calling them together was the
discovery of an error in the levy made on
the independent school districts of Car
son and Oakland for school purposes.
It seems that in figuring out the levy
the total amount of personal property
was taken as the basis instead of the real
and personal properly together , and this
made the number of mills necessary to
meet the requirements altogether too
high. When the taxes were carried out
on this basis it was found that the taxes
were too high , andlho districts wore rais
ing about twice as much money as was
needed. This clerical error was corrected
by the meeting of the board yesterday.
The board also considered the coroner
question , which is by no means a dead
one , as there are three claimants for the
ollicc. The board simply prepared to
have its interests looked alter in the
courts , and lo defend the rights of Mr.
Faul , who was chosen by the board on
the ground that Dr. Bellinger had lost his
right to the olljco by failing to qualify.

A Man of Mystery.
Last week tlii-rc arrived nt the Pacific
house n hirgo built , smooth faced , silk
tilotl gentleman , who invented his card
as "P. ! ' . Pierce , KcoUuk , Iowa , tiprcial
tuiitpor Home Lifo Association , Dos
Moines. " Ho had neither scrip nor wal-
lul , { rrin or trunk. Ho hccmcd to bo
rushed with business , however , and had
a young mint with him , whom ho soon
sent away to sonio oilier part of the Held ,
over which ho was supposed to preside.
He informed the hotel folks that ho itad
no money with him , but would have a
draft by Saturday. They concluded to
take tlu-ir elmnee.s on him for a few dollars
lars , and let him have a room and meals.
Ho soon employed a boy to circulate ;
soniu dodgers for him , and represented
that lie was an attache of linllalo Kill's
show. To the boy ho claimed that his
nanio waH Frank Wollor , and some let
ters worn forwarded to him
from Lincoln , Neb. , hen ring Hint
name. When the liullalo Hill
company reached the city and slopped at
the suinu hotel , no more wai heard about
his being connected with that troupe ,
and he ( lid not .seem to I)1 ai1 1'.ia'mli'd
with any of them. On Friday lu visited
some of the printing ulllces and sought
to got some cards anil circular- ) struck
oil , bill ; after inquiring prices left with
out giving any urdors. Hu was heard of
in ono part of the city in soliciting
members for a sort of "graveyard" in
surance , that is , it was a company the
member ? of which could , by the pay
ment of if' } and a small annual fee , bo en
titled to sflOO for funeral expenses
in ease of the death of anyone
in the family , provided there were
not over live in the family.
Saturday morning was the time when
ho expected to have money , and when
the landlord suggested to hint that it was
time to settle ho very MUiguincly replied
that he would have a dratt for § 151 before -
fore Mindown and would then pay all his
bills. The amount he was looking for
wss peculiar and the mystery thickened.
Several times during the day he inquired
for a telegram which ho was expecting ,
and late in the afternoon : t telegram did
pome. He read it and at once started
out telling his boy that ho had got to go
to the Union depot. That was the last
seen of him. On the same evening that
ho disappeared , Mr. Dohany , the pro
prietor of the opera liouso , re
ceived a letter from Kcoknk , pur
porting to bo written by the wife
of this mysterious man , urging him to go
to the hotel and Had this man , and pay
him $151 , "rather than have him go.1'
This mysterious letter puzzled Mr. Do-
hany greatly , and the mystery grow still
renter when it became Known that llev.
IJ. P. McMeuoiuy , of the Catholic church ,
had received a hko letter , asking that ho
should sco to it that the man got $101.
Mr. Dohany made inquiry at the hotel ,
anil there learned all that wjis known of
him there. The man had gone , anil had
ho remained , it is needless to say ho
would not have received his $ lol , at least
from either of these two gentlemen. , who
wore entire strangers to Pierce.
It is dilliuult to gather from what could
bo learned about the man , whether ho is
a crank or a beat , or both. Ho succeeded
in mystifying this community , by the
help of the letters so strangely sent hereto
to a stranger from a stranger. Mr.
Dohany , on learning the facts about the
man , took the pains to answer the letter
purporting to como from the wife at Keo-
kuk , and perhaps the letter may bring a
response which will throw some light
upon the man's strange actions while
hero. So far as learned 'no ono has lost
anything by the follow , except the hotel
folks and tho.boy , who was employed by
him. It is supposed that ho went from
hero across the river , but by this time ho
mav bo lar oil'on sonic other mysterious
mission.

There was no quorum at the city coun
cil last night. A meeting will bo held
next Saturday afternoon.
The Texas Tragedy.
Yesterday morning's UEIJ contained a
dispatch announcing that T. J. Preston
and Captain II. Hawser had been at
tacked by bandits in Mexico , Hawser
being killed and Prc.ston being wounded
in the arm. The dispatch stated that both
mon were from Council Blull's , and both
largely interested in mining. At the late
hour at which the dispatch came , such in
quiry was made hero as was possible , and
although inquiry was made of several
old residents , not ono could bo found
who know cither of the men , hence it was
concluded that they did not belong hero.
Later investigation shows that Mr. Haw
ser was a a resident of Silver Creek , in
this county. Preston is said to belong to
Kansas City. Hawser has lived on a farm
in Silver Creek township for years , and
jeft for Texas last fall to look after mines , .
in which lie wa interested with K. T.
liryant , Louis Hammer and others of this
city. Ho was about 55 years of ago. and
has a wife and several children. A letter
was received yesterday from which the
following additional particulars are
learned of the all'air :
Mr. Ilowser and Mr. Preston wcro en
route from Parral to El Paso , and had
stopped for dinner. While eating they
were approached by a couple ot Mex
icans. Mr. Preston warned Mr. Howsor
to hold his gun in readiness for USD for he
believed the Greasers meant misehief.
llowsor drew his revolver from its scab
bard anil laid itbcsida him on the ground.
The bandits approached and made some
inquiry about work cattlo. A friendly
conversation had taken place , and while
Howsor's attention was temporarily at
tracted , ono ot the Mexicans sprang for
ward , snatched the revolver from the
ground and shot Howscr in the back , in-
Hiding a mortal wound , and then shot
Preston through the arm. Preston re
turned the tire and drove the bandits oil'
without inllicting anyapprooiablo injury.

Out Easy.
Dr. Itieo feels rather sere about the
comments that have boon made in regard
to the discharge of George Chrlss , who
was arrested for Mealing a microscope
from his ollico. There seems no doubt
but that Chriss stole the microscope , and
when the police arrested him the micro
scope was found in his hands. The Non
pareil scored Dr. Rico sharply for not
prosecuting the fellow. Dr. Hico has a
dllleront story to tell , which shows how
easy it is for crooks to get free. Ho says
that- some of the police canto to him and
desired that ho should swear that the in
strument was worth moro than $20 , so as
to send the thief across the state. Ho
would not do tlds. Perhaps this piqued
the polico. On. Uio other" luuul Dr. Hice
was besieged , . by colored friends
of the prisoner , who begged that
ho might lie lot go on account of thoillness
of his \\ife , on account of poverty , nnd
because the fellow was suu'ering from
heart disease. Dr. Hico says that Alder
man Mynstcr came to him , and bogccd
him to let up on the fellow , and told him
that If ho insisted on prosecuting the
case , it would have to bo disulH" ' ! , as
the informaliou was fault ? , and that it
only piled up co ts on tno people for
nothing. To all these solicitations ho de
clared that the mailer was In the hands
of the court , and the court could do as it
paw lit. Ho went tip to the court room
three different limes , to be present to tes
tify , having been , subponred ; , nnd when
the case was finally called up , Judge
Ayleworlh remarked that ho understood
that Dr. Hice did not care to prosecute
the case , The doctor was about to ex
plain that ho had nothing
to do about it except to tes
tify , as called on , when the case was
summarily dismissed. Then the cnti-
eism of the press was directed against
Dr. Hieo for not protocoling. Tim fact
Unit the police had caught tli follow
with the stolen property in his hands ,
and that they were able to secure other
evidence sulliclont to have found the fel
low guilty , ni'.kcs the dismissal of the
ease look peculiar. Dr. Hico does not
propose to stand having the suspicions ,
whatever they may he , directed toward
him , for ho ( lid all thai could reasonably
bo required of him. He had the fellow
arrested and appeared in court in Re
sponse to a summons , ready to te.-tify ,
but ho was not the prosecuting attorney ,
nor did lie r.aro to show any special
eagerness to have the fellow convicted.
deeming 'lie ' matter one in the hands of
the authorities , and not a private con
cern of his.

the twenty taules where the players are

a ball he calls out its denomination in a
