DESERTED WITH THE MONEY,
A Naval Paymaster's Clerk Goes Off
With Seamen's Money.
From the Warrington Post.

WIN Seamens Money.
From the Warrington Post.
The seamen on board the United States
steamer Iroquois are very anxious to find
out the whereabouts Of John G. Myers,
formerly resident of this city, and who
was until recently acting as paymaster's
clerk on the steamer. 1t appears that
when the ship touched at Callao, Peru, in
the latter part of last June, Myers ap-
piled for and Obtained leave of absence to
go ashore. He did not return, and he was
consequently put down as having de-
serted. Then there WAS an cutlery
among the sailors, and an investigation
being ordered by the Captain it was found
that Myers had decamped with $4,000
which belonged to members of the crew
and had been placed IN the hands OF Paw
master Doyle for safety. There was no
money nor property belonging to the gov
eminent gone. Several notes were found
addressed to some of the men from whom
Myers had "borrOwed'' the money, stat
ing that cit would be all right" and in
closing Us for the amounts taken.
Myers has not yet been found, and
none OF his o Us have as
yet been paid. The seamen
whom he thus robbed have, strange to
say, little faith IN his promises. In the
notes he left Myers stated that he wanted
to get home, and would refund the money
when he reached Washington. His wife,
who lives with small family OF children
in East Washington, near the navy yard,
has received a letter from her husband
in which he said that he was coming
home because he did not like Paymaster
Doyle. Navy Department officials, how
| ever, think that he has no intention of re-
turning to America, but has either re-
mained in Peru or gone TO some distant
| parts.
Myers is we'll known in this city, where
ne was first employed by Paymaster
Doyle as clerk upon the receiving ship
Wyandotte when it was stationed here
some four years ago. He stayed on that
vessel about three years, and then Mr..
boy 10 took him to the lrOquois. He had
| always borne a good reputation here, and
! was considered worthy of trust.

Kidnapped and Shot by the Mexi-
cans-TroubIe Brewing i'm the
Country.

GALVESTON, July 2S.-Monday last Senior
Mondragoa, chief of police of Piedros Negras,
Mexico, made demand upon the authorities
at Eagles Pass Texas, for the body of Fran
cisco Rasures, whom he charges with being
horse thief, Last night Deputy Sheriff b.
Drase arrested Rasures and took him before
County Holster who signed the extradition
papers without giving the accused a hear
ing, and the deputy sheriff delivered him to
the Mexican authorities. Rasures is a ma
turalized citizen and appealed to United
States Consul Lynn for protection. Consnl
Lynn has demanded the release of the pri,,
siOner and his return to Eagle Pass for trial
for the offence alleged. Mondragoa replied
that the case had been transferred to the
high court at Saltello and that he could do
nothing in the matter. This is clear case
of Kidnapping and the facts have been re-
ported to the State Department at Washing
ton and to Governor Ireland OF Texas.
New has tbeen received here tonight that
Rasures was taken two miles below Piedras
Negras today and shot by order of the Mexi-
can authorities. Many peasant Mexicans
are moving to this side of the Rio Grande in
anticipation of disruption.
1t is positive that trouble is breeding in
Mexico, and that revolution is liable to
break out at any moment. Large quantities
of cartridges and ammunition are stored
here, consigned to prominent firms in Piedras
Negros, for supplying the revolutionists.
