land Sth, however, all but the extremd
west portion of the state was visited
by n storm of rain, turning to snow
with high northerly winds which stop

The moisture from the rain and snow
will, however, be very beneficial to the
soil, as over large areas the ground wa.
none too moist before, and with sea-
'sonable warmth the outlook for prompt
termination of the seed sown is very
favorable.
The snow storm, with temperature
below freezing, was severe on live stocl

RECOVER STATE LANDS
Attorney General of Nebraska Start,
Action to Gust squatters From
Boyd County Land.

Lincoln. Neb., April 14-Attorney
General Prout has secured leave from
the state supreme court to file a suit
in ejectment before that tribunal, the
object being to dispossess the alleged
squatters on lands in Boyd county
land, which the state claims right
fully belongs to the permanent school
fund of the state. The lands com
prise $500 acres, valued at $4,000. Here
tofore the attorney general has openly
sympathized with the squatters and
resisted the effort of State Land Com
missioner Follmer to retain the land as
state property.
The last legislature enacted law
deciding the property to the squatters,
but Follmer refused to sign the deeds.
declaring the ownership of the school
fund was fixed by the constitution, and
the legislature could not deed it way.
Proufs change of front is attributed
to influence of Governor Mickey,
who, although. previously upllolding the
attorney general, has become fearful
that the controversy might be made a
political issue in his campaign for re-
election.

ILLEGAL FISHING.
Most Active Campaign of Game Wardet
Is Against Fishermen.

Deadwood. S. d., April 14.-M. B.
Ocumpaugh has been reappointed fish
and game warden for Lawrence county.
the appointment being made by the
county commissioners at the instance
of the Lawrence County Fish and
Game Protective association. The sail
ary is SIS Il month and he has the au-
thority to appoint deputy wardens as
they may be required. Mr.. Ocumpaugh
served as warden in Lawrence county
last year and waged an active cam
paign against persons violating fish and
game laws of the state. There We're a
number of prosecutions and although
the only convictions obtained were in
minor cases, the work resulted in al
most a total suppression of the Of
;fenses. The greatest offense against
the fish and game laws has been the
use of dynamite for killing fish in the
streams. This has threatened the total
determination of the game fish. and al
though no convictions have been OBJ
tained owing to the difficulty of get
ting positive information, Mr.. Ocum-
paugh's work seems to have driven the
dynamiters from the field and no new
evidences have been reported.
