The Auditor at Rest.
The District Attorney has relieved Coun-
ty Auditor Whidden from very embar-
RAISING position.
The former has instructed the County
Auditor to proceed with his work of COM
putting the tax rolls and all other work
necessary in that connection upon the
basis OF the figures on the assessment rolls
as corrected by the County Board of Equal
lzation. There was some fear that the
work would be materially hindered by the
litigation now In the Superior Court, and
some doubt as to which set of figures could
be legally used. This means that there
viii be no further delay in arranging all
preliminaries for getting out the tax roll
for 1886 Is. The Auditor will have the fig
ures ready for the Board of Supervisors,
who are obliged to fix the county tax lew
on the third Monday in this month
Quietly Married.
Henrietta Thome, the young French
Iaundress who was a few months age al
most killed by her father, Jean Thome
was quietly married Saturday evening to
Alfred LeganeU, a brother of DIR. Leganet
of this city.
After the shooting affair had blown over
Mrs. Thome disposed of her laundry and
retired to private apartments on San Pablo
avenue, where she has since resided.
The marriage of Henrietta was intended
to have been kept quiet, but leaked out
through the recording of the marriage
license in the County Clerks office.
Satisfied as he Is.
Chief Lloyd does not favor the idea of
cutting down the police force, but thinks
if the Council pass the resolution taking
from IL as proposed ten officers, one cap
tain and two detectives, that he will find
it more difficult to enforce the law than
under the present conditions. He thinks
the resolution is aimed at the request he
recently made for ten additional men.
Mr.. Lloyd is having a map made of the
city for the purpose of redistricting the
entire police force, but if the new resolu-
tons are passed it will change his plans.
Cigar-Store Robbed.
This morning, when Robert Boyer
opened his cigar-store on Seventh and
Broadway, he found that during the night
his safe had been robbed of SIPS.
The outer door had not been damaged,
showing that some one who knew the COM
bination did the work. There was nothing
tn show how the thief effected an entrance
