Des MONIES. July 10.-Attorney Gener
al Mullan has handed down an opinion
TO Governor Shaw respecting the right
OF this state to recover interest on the
funds furnished by it in equipping

be determined upon investigation of the
whole question. Attorney General Null

employ an agent TO recover this money,
but that that work must be done by the

Sioux City, out of large commission,
rs it was he who raised the question and
offered to recover the money for the
