LINCOLN. FEB. ESPECIAL THE diff |
ference between Governor Mickey and Land |
Commissioner Eaton over making out deeds !
for school lands is ended. The board will |
meet and make record of who is entitled
TO the land when the last payment is made |
Mr.. Eaton has consented to the suggestion
of the governor and will not buck the
proposition further, even though he did
fly up last Saturday
The law the question is plain" said
Mr.. Eaton. land Governor Mickey has in
terpreted the law correctly. The reason l
objected was because the practice has been
for twenty-six years to have the land COM
missioner make out the deed when the
receipt Of final payment was received from
the county treasurer. The deed was then
written up in this office and taken to the
governor and the secretary of state to sign.
The record of this board is kept in this
office and. besides that. to follow the law
in the matter as the governor desires to
do will mean that people who have made
last payment on their land will have to
wait a fun month before they get their
deeds. This board meets once a month
and there is no way a special meeting can
be called. OF course can adjourn from
day to day and keep record. but that is
whole lot Of trouble as the members of
the board are not all here when a meeting
IS desired.
However. have no objections to com
plying with the law. the governor sug-
Ecsted 7 shall do the work In this office.
as We have always done. and tho board
will meet and make record Of those who
are entitled 10 deeds"

Warden Beemer received bill this morn

Tertiary for $50. claiming the amount is
owed by the state of Nebraska because
the warden out there turned over to War
den Beemer Fred Pearson upon the latter S
release from the Montana institution Pear
son had escaped from the Nebraska prison
in 1901. The state offers a reward of SO
\ for every escaped convict who is returned

warden of apother prison has claimed the
reward. The Nebraska prison, said Warden
Beemcr. makes no charge for notifying
other penitentaries OF the release of a
man wanted elsewhere. and neither has
ANY other prison except the Montana insti-
TUITION demanded the money. The warden
does not intend to pay the bill Pearson
