MICKEY AND EATON Clash.
Governor Wants Records Of School
Land Deeds More Complete.

Lincoln, Feb. 5.-Between Governor
Mickey and Land Commissioner Eaton
there is something doing. At an x
utive session of the board OF educa.
tional lands and funds the two became
so excited over a proposition that Mr..
Eaton left the meeting in q huff, after
holly exclaiming to the governor:
We'll, you had better come over
and run my Office yourself"
The proposition Vas whether a rec
ord should be made when the board
had decided that a person was en-
titled to a deed to school lands. Here
tofore it has been customary for the
land commissioner to make out he
deed and take 1t to the governor to
sign. The latter has always signed
without looking up the record, OF
course leaving that entirely in the
hands of the land commissioner. The
governor suggested that 1t would be
a good idea for the board to meet and
decide who were entitled to deeds
and make a record Of the boards &C.
ton. Then the deeds would be made
out n properly signed. s
This, of course. would add much to
the work in the land commissioners
office, which is just now being per-
formed by a force not at all too large,
and Eaton objected to the new duties.
The board probably will decide to
have the record made of the pur-
chaser's right to the deed, SO In case
a mistake should be made in the deed
the board could fall back on its rec
ord.
