Act of the LeRlMlntnre of 187.1 Pro-
vlilliin for the Secnrlnit of Oov-
| _ . eminent I.nnd the llnl * of
the Suit.
LINCOLN. March 11. ( Special. ) In dla-
< rlct court this forenoon a verdict was rer -
derod against the- state ot Nebraska and In
favor of T. P. Kennard for $13,099 , being
the amount claimed by Kennard for his serv
ices In prosecuting claims of the iitatn against
the United States.
The history of this case dates back to
1873 , whu the legislature passed the fol
lowing act :
Ho It resolved by the legislature of the
Mate of Nebraska , That the governor bo
nnd he hereby Is authorized nnd empowered
to appoint an agent or ngents In behalf ot
this state to prosecute a final declMon be
fore congress , or In the courts , the clulm
of this state for the 3 pur cent due to the
name from the United States upon the lands
of this state disposed of by Indian reserva
tions nnd liy the location ot mllltnry land
warrants and land ttrlp Issued for the mil
itary service In the wars of the United
States mid for agricultural college scrip and
r.illroad lands , nnd
Whereas , The government of the United
States has allowed various stall's largo
amounts of swamp and overflowed lands
lying within their borders ; and
WncmiH , N'o BUch allowance of swamp
nnd overflowed lands has ever been received
l > y this site for tltu largo area of land lying
within Its limits subject to overflow ; now ,
therefore , be It
Resolved by the senate and house of rep-
resentntlveH of the stuto of Nebraska , That
the governor Is hereby authorized and em
powered to appoint u competent and relia
ble agent , or agent ! ) . as provided In section
1 of this act ; and that said agent or
iiKi'iits shall receive suc i compensation from
nld lands , or money , ns may bo agreed
upon by said agent or agents and the gov
ernor , conditioned that the state shall be
put to no cxpens3 whatever , unless said
uK'ent or agents shall be succcFsful , In whole
or In part , In securing the aforementioned
claims ; provided , that the fori-BoIng shall ,
In nowise , apply to the G per cent cash
Bcliool fund accruing to the state.
APPOINTED UY GOVERNOR FURNAS.
Kcnaard was very ictlve In securing the
passage of this joint resolution , and was ap
pointed by Governor Furnas as the agent to
collect the money from the general govern
ment , the contioct being that Kennard
should receive one-half of the amount col
lected as his fco fcr the work. Kemiard
went to Washington and worked Indus
trlottsly for the allowance of the claims ,
flttorward alleging that ho spent $3,000 of
his own money whllo prosecuting the work.
Some time after Ilio pareago ot the joint
resolution the Pawnee reservation went Into
the market , amd the government paid over
to the Btato about $27,000 as Its per cent
on the sale. This wan the only money that
was raid to the state by the government , anil
Kennard put In bin claim to the state foe
one-half the amount. Since 1S7S he das had
hlfl claim before every legislature , cither as
< in Individual bill or ono of miscellaneous
claims , but It was never allowed , I one
cession the 'claim was allowed by both
liuuses , but In some way got knocked out
before the claims bill became a law. The
last seailon or the legislature disposed o !
the claim by referring It to the courts for
adjudication , nnd the verdict today In dis
trict court Is the result. The attorney gen
eral will Immediately carry the case to the
fcupruno court for review.
In past years many reasons have been
advanced why Kennard should not b al
lowed tills money. It was claimed that his
contract only provided for the collection o !
money duo before the pareage of the jolnl
rcrolutlon In 1873 , had no relation to the
lwnco reservation , and tdat the paymenl
ot the $27,000 by the government was not
due to 'the efforts of Kennard , who was de
voting all his time to the attempt to collect
the- prior claims. Others have contended
that bis claim has been outlawed by tlio
statute ot limitations , but this was met by
4io argument that the statute could nol
begin to run until after the appropriation o !
money to ray the claim.

nCTAll.S OP HECEXT GOLD FIXD.
Dciiolt One of the Itlchent Placer *
In the Wct.
BAYARD , Neb. , March 11. ( Special. ) A
placer gold field has been discovered along
the North Platte river In Cheyenne and
Scotta Bluff counties that Is believed to be
a Klondike. The field will , It Is believed ,
cover from 3,000 to 5,000 acres and assays
show a yield of from $4 to $7.30 per ton.
This field Is along the north side of the
river and Is from 50 to 100 feet above
the river bottom. The deposit Is sand and
gravel , lying on a ibedrock ot magnesia and
soapstone. The material ( sand and gravel ) ,
with various specimens of rock , are foreign
to the country. Upon Investigation It has
been decided that this has been carried Into
this country during the glacial period. The
specimens ot rock , compared with the "Black "
Hills rock , show that this drift deposit Is
from the IBlack Hills country. Again the
direction of the glaciers being a little east
of south , so that this deposit Is In the course
ot the glacier from the Black Hills country.
A great many assays have 'been ' made and
flvo results obtained. Assays from material
eighteen Inches under the surface running
from $4 to $6 per ton and at four feet deep
$7.30 per ton , iwhlch Is unprecedented for
large bodies of placer mining. With very
little expense a largo stream of water can
be carried above the deposit. This body of
gold-bearing material Is about one-quarter
to twelve miles wide , covering from 3,000
to ( i.OOO acres. The natural condition l-i - such
that It can be worked 'by ' hydraulic methods
for less than 5 cents per ton , thereby leaving
an Immense profit for working. The body
varies In thickness from five to thirty feet
and promises to be one of the best placer
productions In the west. Water can be had
the year round for working.
Bayard , In Cheyenne county. Is In the
center of the greatest portion of the deposit ,
which Is believed to be the richest and 'best. '
Every foot of available ground Is being filed
upon and there Is a great deal ot excitement
In the vicinity.

CREIGHTON , , Neb. , March 10. To the Ed
itor of The Bee : In the bulletin published
for the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment
station January 11 on "Cornstalk Diseases"
Dr. Peters states : "Furthermore , Investiga
tors , with the exception of Dr. Billings , have
been unable to demonstrate the presence ot
'any living organisms as the cause of the dls-
ease. " While regent of the State university
I had the pleasure of witnessing Dr. Billings'
Investigations on the cornstalk disease. I
saw him cultivate the germs and examined
thctn microscopically. Last winter It was
my lot to Investigate a number of cattle
( dairy cows ) dying suddenly after eating
stalks In a Held planted to sweet corn.
Death was duo to septicaemia , caused by the
Billings germ , so record me as Investigator
No. 2 , who has seen and handled this germ.
I will say this , that any man ot Intelligence
who can use a one-eighteenth oil Immersion
lens can flnd this germ If ho .wants to In
animals dying ot this cornstalk disease and
very abundantly. It Is a very prolific germ
and no doubt In this rapid growth of the
germ blood poisoning results. There Is a dU-
position to deny value to any of Dr. Billings'
work on animal diseases , but truth Is
mighty and will stand.

9AN PRAN'OISCO ' , .March 11. Tom
Sharkey , the sailor pugilist , anil Joe Choyn-
skl , the veteran of a hundred fistic battles ,
met tonight In Woodward's pavilion In a
twenty-round flght for CO per cent of the
gate receipts , under trie auspices of tlio Na
tional Athletic club.
After keeping the crowd of 7,000 specta
tors waiting for over an hour after he en
tered the ring , making objections to the men
nominated by his opponent and the club to
referee the contest , Sharkcy gave a dis
graceful exhibition of foul fighting , which
culminated In his hurling Choynskl through
the ropes upon the chairs below the plat
form In the eighth round , at which stage
of the game the referee , at the suggestion
of the police , declared the flght a draw.
Sharkey repeatedly fouled Choynskl dur
ing the three rounds preceding this , but the
referee , George Qrcen , seemed rattled by
the whirlwind rushes of tlio sailor , and was
In an undecided state of mind whether to In
terfere or allow the flght to take Its course.
He seemed to liavo a fear of hla own per
sonal safety should ho declare the battle
against the wild sailor.
Choynakl clearly outpointed Sharltey la
cuch and every round and was only worsted
when It came to wrestling tactics , which Is
the sailor's favorite method of fighting. Ho
would rush at Choynrkl and swing his pou-
divoua arms at random with no seeming
object In view. Choylnskl withstood them
fairly well with straight punches In the
face.
It was apparent < o the great majority of
the spectators that had the flght been ( Ulr
on tha part of Sharkey , Choynskl's superior
cleverness would liavo returned him the
winner. Tonight's disgraceful exhibition by
the sailor probably cnis tils pugilistic career
so far as getting another match In San
Francisco Is concerned. His unpopularity
has Increased ever since his fiasco with Fltz-
slmmons ki this city two years ago.
Xho men entered the ring at 178 acid 16S
pounds respectively , but their appearance
when stripped conveyed the Impression that
Shiukey outweighed his taller and smaller
opponent by more than tin pounJs. Each
was trained thoroughly and was la magnifi
cent condition.
The men agreed not to hit In the clincher
or breakaway. Time was called at 10:42 :
o'clock.
FIGHT I5V ROUNDS.
Round 1 Sharkey led -with his left for
the body , but fell short. Joe missed n very
vicious left for , the Jau Joe made the
sailor break ground for n minute , .but
Sharkey rushed again and mlsseil a nasty
right swing1. Sharkey again rushed , but
missed , anil Joe plnntrdi Ills left on the
sailor's jaw. Sharkey played for the body
and landed a light left on the stomach na
the gongsounded. .
Itound 2 Jco w.is smilingIn his corner
between the rounds , but thcf sailor came up
aggressive and swung his left Into Joe's
face twice , receiving a hard' left Jab In re
turn. Joe swung- his right over the heart
nnd ducked a vicious swing1. Sharkey
played for Joe's wind , but missed. Two of
the sailor's wild swlnga also missed the
mark nnd Joe Jabbed him In the. throat
with his left.
Round 3 Joe Jnbbed his left Into the
sailor's mouth nnd as Sharkey played for
hla wind swung a right and left at the
head. The sailor mlssnil a couple of wild
swings nnd became more anxious for a
while , but Joe. kept him moving and played
upon .his heart and , ribs. Sharkcy lunged
viciously for Joe's wind and the blow was
neatly warded off.
Round. 4 Sharkey landed -with his left on
the neck and then swung wildly with his
right. The sailor played low for the. body ,
but Joe straightened him up with1 a right
uppercut. Choynskl jabbed Sharkey twice
on the nose .without return. Another left
Jab was hotly countered by the sailor , who
rushed Joe to the ropes as the gong
sounded.
Round 5 Sharkey swung his left wildly ,
but missed , but landed a left swing a mo
ment later nnd rushed Joe to the ropes , the
latter turning- his back to him. Joe landed
a hot left on t'ne sailor's jaw twice , sending
his head back. Sharkey struck Joe twice
at close quarters and sent him down and
then tried to force him over the ropes , when
the referee nnd a couple of policemen Inter
fered.
Round C The claim of foul was not al
lowed , but Sharkey again renewed his foul
tactics , even hitting- Joe while In a clinch
against the ropes. Choynakl was nme ,
however , and after straightening himself
up smashed the sailor In the Jaw with his
right until the sailor was groggy. Tom
lost his head again and repeatedly fouled
his opponent , but Referee Green did not In
terfere.
Round 7 Tom again commenced his foul
tactics and rushed Jos , pushing him against
the ropes and striking him. Referee Green
waa powerless to stop him. Joe jabbed the
sailor time nnd again without return , but
Tom waited until he got him against the
ropes and then sent In a wild swing for the
body. Choynskl went to his knees mora
from tha force of the rush than the effects
of the blow.

CALLS IT A DRAW.
Round 8 Sharkey landed a left swing on
the neck , but received a nasty orack on the
jaw In return. Joe then Jabbed him again
and again In the face with his left , but his
blows seemed weak. A left upper swing
connected with the sailor's jaw and then
Blmrkey rushed Ciioynskt through the
ropes , falling on the platform himself. The
crowd was so thoroughly disgusted at this
performance that the referee sent the men
to their corners and declared the flght a
draw.
Sharkey's attitude as he rushed across the
ring toward Green was so threatening that
the police flooded the roped arena and. es
corted him out of It , much to his chagrin.
Indeed , ho wept from sheer disappointment.
Don't this l > cat you yet what else
could you expect In March that's what
a lady said to Drex L. Shooinan the
other day "What else could you expect
but the best shoes on eath for a dollar
and a half If It came from heru" She
was speaking of those ? 1'.00 shoes for
boys the kind we've always charged
$1.50 for Not because they're not worth
the $ ' _ ' .00 for they are but because
we're opposed to p.'iylng all our expenses
on boys' shoe.s fnct Is there's just the
littlest bit of prollt on tli so shoes that's
why the value Is so big Its the same on
big people's shoes.
