This time the vio- \1 tim is J. T. Oliver , merchant tailor. About f six weeks ago a man calling himself Mr. Hall , and claiming to bo a traveling man for , , , a hardware linn , entered Mr , Oliver's liroad- { * way establishment and ordered a light over- * coat. It was mudo for him , and when ho ' called for It ho paid the cash , at the same time ordering a heavy overcoat and a pair of pantaloons , A few days ago hu entered the store and wanted the goods. Ho had $35 , and promised to pay the balance the first of the month. Mr. Oliver put the clothes back in the case , and said that ho would wait for the money. After the man had gene the pro- prictor turned to his cutter , and expressed his opinion that the fellow was a confidence man , and that the clothes must not bo turned over to him unless cash was paid for them. The man called again Tuesday evening in the absence of Mr. Oliver , and asked the cutter to accompany him to his room , and ho would pay the money. The game worked well , and When at the foot of tno stairs ut the Alain street entraco of the 13cno block the fellow said "Walt until I go up to my office and get my keys. " The duped cutter waited , and soon heard his man going down the Pearl street stairway. It then dawned upon him that ho was tricked , and ho Informed the police , but the clothes wore gene , and the man is still after his keys. It makes Mr. Oliver very tired to think that his cutter should bo bcateu after receiving special in structions. . Troxol Bros , headquarters for Christ mas poultry. Leave your orders.

A Glance nt the Tax Tables nnd Good Hl/.ed TntnllnK * ) A Strange Co- Invldcnuc A Goddess Well Hinokcd. Anotlicr IjAtid Content. There Is n tract of land beginning Just west of tbo Union 1'aclflc Krounds and running north to Cutoff hike. Here It extends east for it considerable distance. This land Is for the most part unoccupied. During the past few years squatters have settled upon portions tions of It. Ejectment notices have been from time to time served upon these parties , but they have thus far held their ground. There li now a suit ( lending which involves the ownership of this property , valued at from eighty to one hundred thousand del lars. The property has not until now been entered for taxation. Yesterday II. W. Hreckenrldge entered this property nnd filed copies of the original government patents with Kccorder-Koborts. The.-m patents were issued in 1KV5 , when Franklin Pierce was president of the United States. They are us follows : To Andrew Ilanscom the ne of section US , township 75range 44 west , Kanes- ville ; Jesse Williams , lot a , fractional section 20. township 75 noi th , range 44 west , Katies- vlile ; Samuel Kiddle 77 acres , Ann Snow ( Kl acres , John Jones 15(1 acrei , Moses F.

Dr. Jeffris , son of Edmund Jeffris , whoso name appears us one of the original grantees , is party to the suit referred to. Here again Is an Indication of future pros perity. This property , made up of good and bad , is to-day of sufficient value to warrant the payment of taxes so evidently think thoio interested in this case. The demand for building advantages has created in this property a value sufficient to warrant a legal contest for its possession and ownership.

As tbo DEC man was perambulating about the city last evening ho noticed that all the gambling houses wore in full blast , and asked one of the "knights of the green cloth" if the resignation of the mayor was the cause of the opening , or whether his order had been . "Oh fellows'called repealed. , you newspaper the turn' all right when you said that the order was Just a dodge to ward off the sus picions of the grand jury. Wo had to do it to protect ourselves. Mayor Groneweg didn't care anything about how wo run , and all ho had to do with It was to simply accede to our wishes when wo asked him to close us up. Wo have to look after our interests as much as anybody else , and we will show you sev eral other tricks before the game Is over.
