QUESTION MERELY OF VALUE
Boyd County Land Cfle Eiing Argued
at Lincoln.
DIFFERENCE OVER APPRAISAL
Final Airrrmrnl Expected at Thin Slf
K of Hoard of Educational
Land and Kn ads Tax
on Mansion.
From a Ftaff Correspondent'.
LINCOLN', Nov. li. tSpeclal Telegram.)
Settlers on Hoyd county land which was
Part of ti'o allotment mada the Mate for
school purposes by the government arc
having what they hope wMll bf their final In
ning before tha Hoard of Educational Lands
nnd Funds today, Arguments on the value
of tho land were made by M. F. Harrington
iind Kuriford Ilarkcr and by the legal Ue
' partmenl of tho state on behalf of the land
ooinmlUHlnni r's di.artment. The contro
versy hus resolved Itmlf Into a drtcrml-
nation of the amount of money to be paid
or the land hy the? settlers.
Tho settlers ot-uupk'f land on lln; old
Fort Randall reaervatlin before uny sur
vey was made. The gm eminent then aet
apurt some of tho land for tho alate for
school purposes nnd gave the state the
rlht to rnako the' choice. Land Commis
sioner J. V. Wolfe made the selections and
without Intending to do no took land upon
wihch settlers had" located. At the time
there , was no desire to deprive them of
their holdings, hut when it was found that
the descriptions furnished, Infringed upon
he rights of settlers, the present contro
vrrsy had Its Inception.
In the slate legislating enacted u law
giving tho settlers the right to buy the
land, nnd then the question of value arose.
In I!n6 the land was appnil.'cd at $10 to $13
an acre. In JHOG Land Commissioner F.aton
appraised It at from J 12 to $30 an acre.
, The question row is. which valuation
. holds and what Is tho status of ownership
of Improvements, the settlers, of course,
arguing that early appraisals shall stand.
The governor was today notified that the
government lias deeded the last of the land
In the state to he et apart for school pur
poses. The deed covers 1.W5 acres- In
Cherry county.
Attorney (Irneral W. T. Thompson today
says he Is Inclined to believe the Lancaster
county taxes nsRened against the execu
tive mansion and unpaid will not hold
against the state because of the warranty
deed given when the transfer took place.
Fnneral Held to Influence Verdict. '
Judge Hamer has appealed to tho su
preme court to have revised the decision
of the lower court which sentenced Itay
Maynard, aged 19 years, of Alliance, to the
penitentiary for life. One of the grounds
on which he makes his argument for a
reversal la that while the Jury was do- I
liberating a funeral procession passed down j
the street. The corpse was that of a
' woman who had been shot to death. This,
Judgo Hamer believed, influenced the Jury
In finding his client guilty. According to
tha brief and bill of exceptions filed In I
supreme court this morning Maynard was
employed as a night man at a lunch coun
ter In Alliance. On the night of the mur- .
der he was seen In a Saloon, where he got I
a $10 bill changed Into $1 bills. Someone I
told the proprietor of the lunch, counter
that 'Maynard waa spending money freely.
LeRoy W. Barnes, the proprietor went to
tho saloon and accused Maynard of robbing
Mm. Maynard dented the accusation and
' t .ftht! ensued. Barnes' took the young
man out of the saloon and beat him up
. severely. --The next day he again: beat htm.
Ma. nard finally went to the restaurant and
. demanded his 'apron and Jacket, which had
been left at the restaurant. Barnes, so the
brief aald, again beat him, and during
the fight Maynard pulled out a revolver
and ahot Barnes and killed him. He was
sentenced to life Imprisonment. Maynard
had been In tho town only six days.'
Chance to Give Away Hallroad.
If anyone has a railroad he wants to
give away the Nebraska Railway commis
sion can place IV for him. The commission

Complains of Colasabaa Depot.
A letter was received from Edgar How
ard of Columbus by the State Railway
commission ' this afternoon complaining of!
tne Union Pacific depot at that place. Mr. I
Howard fnforms the commission that he
will not object to the publication of the
letter, though he prefers personally to be '
left In the bockground. The letter Is as J
follows: I
I desire to direct your attention to a
rondltlon of affairs which merits Instant
attention. I am not fully persuaded regard- ,
lug the course which ought to be pursued
whether complaint should should be made
to your commission or to the State Board
of Health. I direct your attention to the ,
fact that the Union I'aolfle passenger sta
tlon In Columbus is maintained In a man
ner to make It a certain menace to the
public health. The accommodations are so
Inadcouate that often one-half of the num
ber of patrons of the road are unable to
squeeze meir Domes into tne depot. Again

I am not picturing to you an exceptional

BOYD FAVORS GUARANTY PLAN
Nebraska Congresaraan Takea Bill to
Convreaa Coverlna; Subject.
NORFOLK, Neb., Nov. 16. (Special.)
Congressman J. F. Boyd of the Third dis
trict of Nebraska will leave a week .from
next Tuesday, November 26, for Washing
ton to begin his first term as representa
tive In the national legislature. With him
he will take to Waahlngton a bill that he
has already framed, providing for a gov
ernment guaranty to depositors In national
banks. Insuring all national bank depositors
that, no matter what happens, their de
posits will be safe.
The bill, aa drafted,' contemplates that
when a national bank falls the govern.
ment shall appoint a receiver as now and
the depositors will Immediately thereafter,
or within nlnetv dava. fll claims ,m.
the treasury department a. to ,h. amount
v. iivroit. 4 1,1V i,, win,, i ii uvcu vy uil
receiver, will be paid in full by the gov-
eminent, so that the depositor In a very
short time will realize M0 per cent on hi
deposits. The treasury department, to re
imburse for thla loss, would then, under
the provisions of the bill, levy an assess
ment against the deposit of all national
banks. Under the business transacted dur
ing the year preceding September JO, thin i
levy upon solvent national bank would
have amounted to one-fourth of 1 per
cent of deposits.
In this way, each bank would practically
be protected by mutual bank Insurance,
with the government handling the matter.
Congressman Boyd think such a plan
would Increase bank deposits 25 per cent.

change of venue brought the case before

lerdav. Burnett waa arraigned on tho
complaint and several witnesses were ex
amined, some positively Identifying hlrn as
the man who assaulted Mr. Pierce. He

trial for perjury. County Attorney Moore
caused Dunn's arrest on an assault charge
last evening. It la claimed the reason
Harnett had a grievance against Mr.
Fierce was because the latter failed to
patronise his livery barn.

A lively contest is on between City
Bpller Inspector Wolfe and City PlumbiriK
Inspector McVia over the demand oi each
for an absittant. Tho boiler Inspector six
months or more ago announced his Inten
ilon of asking for help, but did nothing In
-he matter until last month. In tho mean
Ime the plumbing Inspector sent a roni
aunlcation to the council asking for an
.sslstant. Then came the uppllc atloa of
he boiler inspector and both requests were
e fused.
Now the friends of the plumbing lnepa
jr. Including practically the untlre force
f the building lnsptrioi s cilice, doclar
is action of th boiler inspector Is re
ponslble for the defeat tif the desire of
le plumbing inspector snd they hay thn
iller Inspector needs no aSHistant because
e greater number of boilers nnd ulevatois
re Insrwcted by experts In the employ of
jsualty Insurance companies, who are by
dlnance assistants to the city inspector,
bile the plumbing Inspti'lor has nu such
udstants. On the other hand, friends uf

ust also file a bond tor the faithful psr
