between the Indians and the whites
In the neighborhood. According to
this express understanding, the In.
dians have been hunting in wyom

Hole region. This hunting has been
carried on contrary to the laws Of
the State of Wyoming, which, how
ever, seem not to be very we'll
observed by the white Inhabitants OF
the state. The settlers have envied
the Indians the privilege granted
them, and lately murdered several
OF the Bannocks. Naturally the
Indians retaliated, and quite a num-

The board of county commissioners
Of Franklin county, Kansas, has
refused to make a special levy for
the university appropriation. When
the state legislature made an appro-
priation of 500, 900 for state univer-
sity purposes, and adjourned without
providing for the levying of a state
tax therefor, matters began to
assume a chaotic condition around
the state house, and there was much
casting about for a way OFT of the
predicament. Finally Attorney
General Dawes came to the relief of
the unhappy regents of the institu-
ton with an opinion to the effect
that the various counties should levy
tax for this purpose.
In due time the auditor of state
sent to County Clerk J. X. Bailey,
Of Franklin county, the tax levy for
state purposes, including that for the
University fund, amounting to
$1,501.24. This entitled the levying
Of a $40 of a mill tax. County
Attorney Welsh was asked for an
opinion, and promptly informed the
board that 1t was not authorized by
law to make any such levy, that this
can only be done by the legislature /;
otherwise it would be in contraven-
ton to the state constitution. The
board thereupon declined to make
the special levy.

went to Thomasville, Ga, where II
was hoped the mild and yet bracing

him little good, and, after time, he
was brought home. At his old home

slightly until he went to Washington
to sit in the second hearing Of the

strength rapidly. Nevertheless So

saw that the end was near, and his
death was not unexpected.
