By unani mous vote the State Board of Compromise this afternoon accepted $8,000 In full pay ment of the shortage of (13,278.45 of former Treasurer Lynch of Platte county. The money was paid Into the treasury and a receipt given discharging all sureties from further liability. Mr. Lynch was elected on the fusion reform ticket. Suit was begun tn the district court of Platte county to recover the funds duo, but was never brought to a hearing. Amendments to the defendant's answers, demurrers and numer ous other legal papers were filed at regular Intervals, and In this way the attorneys were able to prevent a hearing of the case. Lyncb's bondsmen were: C. C. Carrlg, D. D. Lynch, C. J. Carrlg, Thomas Lynch, Gus O. Beacher, A. Anderson, O. T. Roen, Israel Oltick, E. A. Stocklager, Jamea Car rlg.

The history of the case, together with the details of the settlement, Is ret forth In the following resolution adopted by the board and signed by all of Its members.

Whereas. The sureties on the official bond of said Lynch have made to the Board or compromise an oner to pay into-tne state treasury for the benefit of said state the sum of J8.0U) In full settlement of the amount due the state from said Lynch, the sureties on his official bond and the county of Platte, and tn addition to said sum to lay ail costs which have neen Incurred in ltlgatlon In the courts of Platte county on account of said shortage; and, w nerens, it appears to this Donra tnat the Interests of the state of Nebraska will be best subserved by a compromise of said Indebtedness; therefore be It Resolved, by the Board of Compromise of the State of Nebraska, That under and by virtue of the powers In said board vested under the provisions of chapter Ixxlv of the Laws or lebraska tor lHul. that said oner of compromise made by the sureties on the official bond of said James W. Lynch be and the same is hereby accepted, and that upon the payment of the srIu $8,000 to the state treasurer for the benefit of said state that the indebtedness of the said James W. Lynch, the sureties on his official bond and the county of Platte be and they sre hereby released and discharged from and on account of ail Indebtedness to the state of Nebraska arising from the failure of said James W. Lynch to pay to the state of Nebraska the said sum of 113,278.45. Franchisee Not Considered. The State Board of Equalization made some headway with the minor railroads to day, but decided to withhold the figures until the work is completed. "The figures may be changed," said a member of the board, "and for that reason we prefer to keep them to ourselves unttl the entire . valuation Is finally determined." Two members of the board admitted to day that they are not considering fran chises In determining the valuation of the railroad property. He Insisted that bla attention had been cited to no provision of the law requiring consideration of fran chises and added that no figures had been obtained on this feature of the work be fore the board. In other words, the board is considering only the physical side of the railroad. The law gives the board practically un limited power in the assessment of railroad and telegraph property, authorizing it to take into conblderatlon not only the actual stock or property, but any other informa tion aa well.
