NOT GUILTY.
Joseph Snyder And Chas. Parker Innocent
of Charge of Illegal Shooting.


A jury of five men, Messrs. John Bell
Jr., Dominick Reiland, J. F. Moore,
G. W. Davis and Geo. T. Rowland
after listening to the evidence brought
out by the attorneys on both sides in
the case of alleged illegal deer shooting
by Messrs Parker and Snyder gave it
as their verdict thai the defendants
were not 6 lilty. This settles the
matter. Of course it is difficult
thing to obtain evidence to convict any
hunters who violate the law, for it is
absolutely necessary to be able to say
that they saw them shoot the game or
else Identify the game in their pos
session. In this case the jury appears
to have not been satisfied with the
identity of tie game in these hunters
possession. 1t may have been venison
but it was not made clear enough to
the satisfaction of the jury.
r. T. Hamilton, an assistant in the
Attorney Generals Office, Madison,
was in charge Of the prosecution and
handled it well, while j. W. Cochran
represented the defendants.

KANSAS SCHOOL LANDS.
Superintendent Nelson Makes a Statement
in Reply to Inquiries.

Ii heply 10 inquiries
State Superintendent Nelson is re-
ceiving many inquiries regarding the
school lands of this state. Many peo-
pie do not seem to understand the
legal status of such lands. The fol-
lowing statement by Superintendent
Nelson will tend to clear matters and
prove of interest to persons living on
school lands:
I'm 1895 law was passed withdraw
ing all unoccupied school lands west
of the 9Sth meridian from sale and
settlement for a period. At the ex
pira ton of that period the lands were
again placed on sale, but not made
subject to settlement. The lands
were to be sold to the highest bidder
''At the last session of the legisla-
ture a law was enacted repeating this
law and again making the lands sub
ject to settlement. Settlers upon
school lands are required to file with
the county clerk, within ten days af-
ter settling upon such lands, an affida-
Wit of settlement. But the disturb
ing feature of the law is that it pro-
vides that all persons who have resid-
ed on the land for a period of one
year, and who have neglected or re
fused to purchase the same within
said time, shall forfeit all rights,
title and interest to the land.
The law requires that the petition
signed by ten householders of the
township shall be presented to the
county superintendent before the
land can be appraised and offered for
sale. In case the party had lived on
the land for year and could not Sc
cure such petition, the law would
seem to work forfeiture of his
rights. On this point the Attorney
General holds that the settlers right
would not be forfeited unless the land
shall have been appraised and offered
for sale for one year. and the settler
has failed to make aontract of pGr-
chase within that time. He holds that
to secure such appraisement, although
he may do so at any time within six
months after his settlement.
1.-The law also provides for the leas-
ing of all unoccupied school land at a
minimum rental Of S25 per section.
Sheritfs of counties are required to
make inspection of all lands not To-
Gated for settlement nor leased and
collect the minimum rental from par
ties using the land without having so
entered for settlement or having
leased the same. For this purpose he
is authorized to levy upon any stock
found grazing upon the lands Cap
