LINCOLN, July ESPECIALLY 1.-The State
Board of Equalization this morning went
over the reports Of assessors on merchan-
disc and figured up the increase in tho
various counties. No meeting was held this
afternoon, because there was base ball
game and because Governor Mickey's eye
was again troubling him. Harry Dobbins
of the News, who made such a splurge
against the assessment of Omaha mer-
chandise, for political reasons, again failed
to show up and demonstrate to the board
that he knew what he was talking about.
BY a comparison with the licenses issued
by the secretary of state, It is shown the
number of automobiles returned BY the
assessors is greatly below the number
registered. This may be accounted for,
however. by the fact that many assessors
did not list automobiles separately, but
counted them with vehicles. While the
schedule provides all vehicles should be
listed as total number in the same line
a place is provided for automobiles.
The following table shows the increase
and decrease in merchandise compared with
last year:

Indians Thought to Have Killed Pete
ROiIInrd May Not BE Prosecuted.
CENTER. Neb.. July 25.-Cspecial)-Last
winter, while the Missouri river was par
TALLY covered with ice, Pete Rouillard
Santee Indian, in company with two other
Indians, went across the river to Spring
field, S. D., and INDUCED in a spree. They
started for home in the evening and a short
time afterward the two companions of
Pete returned to Springfield with the re-
port that Pete had fallen out of the boat
when a short distance firm shore and had
gone down under the ice. Circumstances at
the time pointed to foul play and the two
were arrested 1t developed at the hearing
that during the day Pete had done all
the spending, the others having no money,
and that after the reported drowning they
spent money at the saloons about town.
1t was also reported that a new hat belong
ing to the drowned man had been found
with hole cut in it and that there were
blood marks upon the sides of the boat
However, in the absence Of the body
nothing could be done and the two suspects
were turned loose. Numerous reports have
been circulated from time to time to the
effect that a body supposed TO be that Of
the lost Indian had been taken from the
river horribly mutilated, one report stating
that the head was almost severed from the
body. All doubts as TO his fate were set
at rest last week when a skeleton was
taken from the river at Decatur, wearing
Pete's clothes and with letters and papers
in the pockets that established the identity
beyond a doubt. There being nothing but
bones left, it was impossible to determine
the manner Of death, but the absence of $40
I'm money which ne was known to have has
strengthened the theory of murder, al
though it will be impossible to push the
case The empty pocketbook was found in
the clothes.
