The State Land Office MIDDLE

1t appears that Col. Lanier's pee
ulations in the land Office will fall on
applicants for. public lands, neither
the State nor his bondsmen are res
ponsible for his actions in the premi-
ses. Under the law the Register is
not supposed to touch q cent OF the
money paid in for State lands, which
must be paid to the State Treasurer
and. on his receipt the Register acts.
Ignorant Of this, about 800 applicants
have sent their money, amounting to
$22, 900, direct to Col. Lanier, who
they thus made their agent (aside
from his official capacity a matter
which does not-involye the State, and
exempts his bondsmen, who are only
responsible for his official acts. He
was also agent of the A~tchafalaya
Levee Board and has sold lands be-
longing to that district valued at
$13, 500 for which be has not account
ed,
Since his recent death 1t has been
discovered that Col. John S. Lanier,
late Register OF the State Land Office,
was short fully 5000 in his official
accounts, and his sudden death at
Baton Rouge, July 18th, was the re-
suit of suicide and not from natural
causes, as first announced, nreferring
to meet death to dishonor, realizing
that the appointment OF his successor
in Office would soon disclose bis pecu-
~lations to the world. It appears that
for q considerable period before his
death he had received numbers of let
tiers from persons desiring to purchase
State lands and after taking the money
from the letters he threw them aside
without making any record of them,
the applicants put off with some ex'
cuse when they inquired about the
delay.-Bienville Bell.
