MORE FRAUD.
Hlssssr's "Sacre1 SShssI Fusd" Squan.
dsFsd by Rascally 0fheIaIs.

ST. LOUIS. December l6.-The State
board of education have made q report,
In which they give a detailed statement
OF enormous frauds prseticed in the dis
position of the swamp lands dOnsted for
school purposes. It - stated that If the
sales Of these lands bad been honorably
como ucted, the State would now have 6
county school endowment Of fl2 ,O00. GOO,
which, added TO the present fund, would
make not less than So, 900 600. Over one
and a half millions of acres have been
squandered. The responsibility of this is
charged upon the county courts.
The report says many counties have
drawn upon the school fund to erect court
houses, jsils, bridges, railroads, and ex-
caveting rivers, etc. In one county one
hundred and fifty thousand acres were
subscribed for q railroad, one hundred
and seven thousand sold on execution 70
satisfy Judgment sgsinst the county,
and sfserward fifty thousand acres of the
land sold wss given 20 an attorney TO get
the land back. This is but one of many
similar cases.
The board recommends that the county
courts be requiredlto levy q special tax 70
replace the school funds illegally used ,
ans asks thSt the school board attorneys
be authorized 70 institute proceedings 10
recover the funds and lands Equsndered
by countless thousand OF acn-s; and when
necessary TO gsdBdGnns the county S0urts
to levy taxes.
