Rustling Operations Conducted on Big

Ra( for Thlrty-FIre
Year..
CHAMBERLAIN, 8. D., lay-1I.-SB'
clal Telegram.) The notorious desperado,
Jack Bully, who for many years has been
the terror of the-; Rosebud country, is ho
more. In a runntrfg fight with officers on
the Rosebud reservation this morning he
was killed, many bullets finding lodgment
in his body, while the horse upon which
he attempted ' to make his escape also
Chared the fate of its master. The cir
cumstances leading up to the tragic end
are these:
A week or ten days ago Bully stole a
bunch of nearly J00 cattle belonging to
various neighboring rancher. He took a
bunch of seventy-four down across the
Nebraska line and sold them for J20 per
head, receiving half cash and half paper.
He cashed the paper. Soon after Brand
Inspector Long got track of the cattle
and accompanied by their owners, Harry
Ham and Hugo Schilling, recovered them
and returned them to the home range. As
a result of the exploit United States Com
missioner Tldrlck of , this city on Sunday
morning sent Deputy united States Marshal
Fetrie. Brand Inspector Long, Sheriff Irish
of Brule county. Deputy Sheriff Jesse
Brown of Lyman county and Harry Ham
to bring In Sully, dead or alive. They
found Sully at his home near Blackbird
Island this morning and attempted to
make the arrest. Sully was ordered to
surrender, but with a defiant taunt, he
made a break for bis horse, sprang upon
bis back and made a dash for liberty.
For a time a running fire was main
tained between the two parties, but the
pursuers speedily proved the- victors. Bul
ly'a horse was hit five times and killed,
while Sully received wounds from which
he dleVl within thirty-five minutes.
A coroner's Inquest Is now in progress In
Gregory county,
- Bully for the past thfrty-flve years has
been known as a lawless and desperate
character. His most recent exploit was to
break jail at Mitchell, where he was being
held for trial on a charge of rattle rustling
and until today officers have not been
able to get their eyes on him. He has tor
years been recognized as the head of a
band cf rustlers that have been the cause
of endless trouble and expense to the
thrifty ' class of peaple who have of late
been drifting Into the neighborhood and
his tragio end is not likely to cause very
deep mourning upon the range.

LINCOLN. Neb., May 16. (Special Tele
gram.) The advance guard of the repub
lican state convention has arrived and,
though not strong enough to mix medi
cine, it is creating considerable activity
amon gthe various candidates who are
here. C. L. Saunders of the Omaha dele

the Lancaster candidate, to get busy and
as a result O'Neal badges are conspicuous

busy tonight whooping up a boom, but
from the various candidates for state
offices and the delegates no statements of
a preference rould be secured. A majority
of the candidates, however, believe this

DEBATE RAILROAD VALUES

HAVE NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM YET
Dlscasaloa l to lal Has All Beea

Order to Compate tho
Valuation.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN. May !. Speciai The State
Board of Equalisation was In executive ses
sion all day trying to agree upon a plan
whereby the valuation of railroad property
could be obtained. Ben White, attorney for
the Northwestern, was at the state bouse
to sea Governor Mickey before the session
began and other railroad men showed some
interest In the session, though none of
them entered the room while the board
was In session. At t o'clock an adjourn
ment was taken without the members hav
ing agreed.
The question . raised was how to get at
the valuation without leaving some loop
hole whereby the railroads, if not satis
fled with the returns made by the board,
could knock out the asaessment In the
courts. One member of the board desired to
find the value of the different items, then
the franchise, making a record of each
value. This, another member of the board
said, would give the railroads just that
many more openings to get Into court, one
suit on each value found, whllo if board used
these Items in arriving at a final value,
Snd made of record only the final valua
tion, the railroads would not have such an
advantage in the courts inasmuch as the
courts would not compel the board to say
what value it placed on each item, and be
sides, this member held that It was none
of the business of the railroads how the
board arrived at Its conclusion.
The board had before it a decision In a
California case whereby the taxation of
franchises was held by the United States
supreme court to be not legal, and it was
for this reason that the member desired not
to make this valuation a part of the rec
ords, but merely to consider It In making
Up the grand total. Treasurer Mortensen
and Auditor Weston did all of the talking,
the others not having put as much study on
the matter, merely being the auditors.
Whether the board will be able to re
port before the state convention is not
now known. Saturday Treasurer Morten
sen and Land Commissioner Follmer seemed
to have agreed upon the method and It
was generally believed that Governor
Mickey would be with them. Mr. Morten
sen Is of the opinion that the proper way
to And the valuation of the railroads is
upon the stocks and bonds basis.
The net earnings of the roads for Ne
braska as now before the board are as
follows: Burlington, with 2.611 miles, net
earnings, $2,600 a mile; Union Pacinc, 967
miles, with $2,000 a mile; Northwestern, with
1.066 miles, at $1,800 a mile. For a while to.
day the board discussed finding the valua
tion of the roads upon a capitalization of
the net earnings at a per cent that t'.le
members have not yet discussed.
Just before adjournment this evening
Auditor Weston moved that the board pro
ceed to determine the value of the tangible
property of the railroads. Treasurer Mor
tensen asked for time to offer an amend
ment and will In the morning move that
the property of the various railroads be
assessed at figures he will present to the
board.
Record School Distribution.
Treasurer Mortensen has eclipsed all
former treasurers in the ' matter of the
school apportionment. Today he certified
to the state superintendent that the amount
for distribution would be $433,288.14, which
is over $13,000 more than it has ever been
before. The number of pupils this Is to be
divided among is 376,317, making the per
capita $1.177904. Douglas county has 42,002
school children; consequently the share of
that county will be $49,476.84.
The amount of the apportionment ex
ceeds even the greatest expectations of
Treasurer Mortensen, who last Saturday
thought the amount would reach probably
$435,000, During the day, however, a num
ber of counties that had failed to report
sent In their money, and this at the last
minute ran up the total.
The largest apportionment heretofore
made was something over $431,000 when the
delinquent land leases were paid in, after
having run from 1893 to 1896, during the
hard times. This at the last moment
swelled the total. Treasurer Mortensen
gives the credit of the large apportionment
to the activity of the county treasurers,
who at least In this connection are merely
his field agents.
The certificate tiled lry Treasurer Morten
sen shows the money was derived as fol
lows: State school tax, $133,890.26; Interest
on school land, $112,873.63; lease on school
land, $87,077.88; Interest on bonds, $60,351.62;
interest on warrants, $46,238.75; game and
fish license, $2,956.
Circular to Superintendents.
State Superintendent Fowler and Deputy
McBrien today Issued their annual circular
to county superintendents and principals
and it contains an endorsement of the Ne
braska semi-centennial celebration and In
formation of value to the school teachers
and superintendents. The circular begins
with an expression of gratitude to the su
perintendents for the ralthful work done
during the year and closes with the ad
monition to the teachers and superintend
ents to complete their work thoroughly In
order to make the way clear for their suc
cessors to proceed with their own plans
with little trouble. The circular holds that
the advancement of the eighth grade to the
high school should be a clearly defined step
and that to remain In the eighth grade two
years Instead of one would be of vast bene
fit to the pupils. The superintendent also
calls attention to the fact that his ruling
and the ruling of the attorney general and
the supreme court of other states that
when a teacher is employed for a given
length of time and the school Is closed by
the board because of a prevalence of dis
ease, the district is responsible for the
teacher's salary, has been overruled. Ac
cording to a recent decision of the Ne
braska supreme court a teacher cannot
collect pay on such a contract when the
school is closed by order of the board.

fine condition. There has never been a
finer showing for fruits of all kinds, partic
ularly cherries.
