London, Aug. IA strange story of
impersonation, with a tragic sequel,
has just been unfolded in the law
courts of Rome. Count Adriance Ben
iculli. an eccentric nobleman, charges
his valet, Antonoro Paolo. with having
caused the death of Countess BENZ
cull. Taking advantage of the extra
ordinary resemblance between him
self and the valet, the count employed
his valet to impersonate him at vari-
GUS social functions in Rome and else
where, while he himself devoted his
time to his hobby n collecting and re-
pairing ancient locks. tzi
Paolo, provldeu with money and
good clothes, moved in the best soci-
ETY. and was everywhere received as
the count. Meeting the Countess Ben.
iculli at ball the valet paid her as
siduous attention. The countess was
pleased, but greatly surprised, as her
husband, for whom she mistook Paolo
had neglected her for many years, not
living with her or seeing her.
A few days after the supposed rec
onciliation the countess and Paolo
drove to Rimini. They were walking
toward some caves, to visit which was
the object of the drive, when a peas
ant woman rushed up to them and ac
cused Paolo of deserving her, at the
same time addressing opprobrious in
suits to the countess. The latter then
discovered she had been deceived

School Land Law Suit.

State Land Commissioner e. w.
Ross is a party to a bitterly com
tested case now pending in the SUI
prere court of this state which in
wolves an exceedingly important if
not to say interesting question con-
corning the state school lands. For a
five year lease upon piece of school
land upon which no lease has yet been
signed or issued the state land COM
missioner has two bids-one for 5000,
I price agreed upon with the commits
sioner and the other for $4,000, put
in before the deal had been closed up.
He insists upon accepting the smaller
bid. and has been temporarily en-
Joined. The defense which the com
missioner presents to the supreme
court, is that the matter is one solely
between the state and the chosen bid.
der, and that the larger bidder has nc
legal rights in the matter and that
the acceptance of the one bid over an
other is entirely optional with the com
missioner. The largest bidder main
tains that he has a right to interpose
and that the discretion which the com
missioner has must be exercised by
the same rules as would guide a man
in the management of his own bust
ness, or such as would be required OF
trustee or receiver by a court in the
administration of the affairs of any
other trust estate. OF course, If the
commissioner is right and he has {
light to thus let the school lands il
private and without competition, Il
,ould result in an immense loss an
lually to the school fund. In this one
ase alone it amounts to over five
thousand dollars. Hon. e. B. Palmer
state senator and chairman of the re
publican state central committee. man
aged the case before the commissions
and argued the case in the supreme
court for the 5000 bidder; Mr.. E.
Hughes of Seattle. and Hon. Thos. M
Vance, ex-assistant attorney general

for the opposite side.
