county treasurer, under section 1867, Cob
bey's Annotated Statutes, 1907, to collect
the taxes due and return the money to the
proper county, and If he wilfully fails and
neglects to perform his duties in matters
of this kind, he ~forfeits his right to office
and may be removed therefrom. He is
further of the opinion that a county treas
urer who wilfully fails to execute such war;
rant would be liable to the county ag-
grieved upon his official bond for any dam
ages that such county might sustain. There
are at least two remedies for his failure to
act. First, this being a duty enforced upon
him by law, 1t may be enforced by a man
damus in a proper case. Second, the only
endorsement upon the distress warrant that
J~ustifies a county treasurer in returning 1t
without collection Is the one that shows no
property could be found belonging to the
delinquent wherein to levy and collect the
same. If this return is made when the de-
linquent really has property 1t would be
equivalent to making a false return, which,
under section 1864 makes the officer liable
for double the amount of taxes, with inter-
est and costs, to be recovered in the name
of the county.

SHARP SAFE BEHIND BARS
Prophet Says Lord Was Not with Him
or Was Taking a Va
cation.

KANSAS CITY, MO, Dec. 1.-THE Lord
was either not with us or was on a vaca-
ton. Now, 1 know my faith was wrong,
that 1 was Mistaken
That is the statement of James Sharp,
better known as adam God" who was
captured in Kansas late yesterday. It was
Sharp who last Tuesday led his followers
into a battle with the police that has al
ready resulted in five deaths. A. ]. Scissor,
aged 70, an innocent b~ystander, wounded
by a stray bullet, is the last of the VIC
Tins to die. Scissor died at the hospital at
midnight last night.
1t is a penitent and humble prophet that
sits in his cell in the police station here
with the responsibility OF five deaths upon
him, but he insists he was misguided and
acted in good faith.
Honestly. captain" he said to officer
Whitsett, II believed that we were doing
right and that 1t was Gods will. When the
bullets m to hit me then 1 had a
revelation. 1 am glad to be back and want
to stand for anything that God Wills. Oh,
1t is terrible.
II had a nice farm in Oklahoma and was
doing we'll when 1 believed 1 was called"
he continued. Now I nav no money, my
children nave left me and we have muir
dered innocent men.
I'm up a stump, brother. But IL was
all the fault of the faith. I saw 1t all as
soon as the bullet hit me.
II expect to be killed." added Sharp in
answer TO a question. II don't care how
quickly it comes. 1 only want time to

ney, already a member of the board, Is
anxious to be reappointed, but his time
does not expire until next year. BY then
Governor-elect Shallenberger will be at the
head of the state and Gregg does not de-
sire to trust himself to the consideration
of the democratic executive.
SO he has proposed to Governor Sheldon
that he will resign. Then, instead of APP
pointing Delzell for a five-year term, the
governor can appoint him to the full term
and appoint Delzell to fill out the Gregg
term of one year. This would put 1t up to
Delzell to take his chances with the incom-
ing executive.
It is reported on the most reliable au-
thority that Gregg has made his proposition
to Governor Sheldon, but that the governor
has as yet not decided to do in the
matter.
Delzell, It is reported, win make no OBJ
jections to the proposition If the governor
decides to permit Gregg to resign and APP
point him for the five-year term.
Failing to make this proposition work 1t
is said Gregg is in favor of the selection
Of X. ]. Barr. principal of the schools at
Grand Island, to- succeed Delzell, and the
latter also favors this IL he cannot get the
job himself.
In the meantime the name of Hon, Peter
Mortensen has been prominently mentioned
for the place. Mr.. Mortensen has served
as a member OF the board when state
treasurer and is familiar with the needs
of the two normal schools.
Fight for speakerahip.
The speakership fight has reached the
slow dog-trot stage and already some OF
the aspirants are almost winded.
At this stage of the game Henry of Holt
county has the lead and there Is no doubt
about that. Dividing the old members with
Henry, is Graft of Cunning, between whom
there is no illfeeling. The western coun-
ties, so the card reads, are about equally
divided between Taylor of Custer and
Bowman of Nuckolls.
Then comes Pool Of Johnson and CLARK

state School Funds.
BY the passage OF senate file No. SS OF
the last legislature, providing for the pay
ment of warrants by the state treasurer
and the investment of same in the school
fund when sufficient money Is on hand In
such fund, thereby taking these warrants
from the hands OF spectators who lesire
to carry them as an Investment, the rec
ords of this office are placed In such shape
that our book shows the total amount OF
state indebtedness by the daily balance of
such registered warrants, and no general
fund warrants have been registered for the
holder of same since April 8, 1907, so that
the school fund has the benefit Of the In
terest accrued on all warrants owed by the
general fund of the state.
The money received from Investments In

an average yearly investment of over
s~1,oC0.00O. I believe the various county and
school district bonds which will be offered
for sale will be inadequate to consume this
sum OF money available for Investment,
and this will require the buying of other
state securities, as has been done In the
past. The records Of this department show

An Important Case.

One of the most important
cases at this term of court is that
of M. F. Cummins as admins
traitor of the estate of VIM. R.
Jarman, deceased, VS. Chas. r.
Jarman and others. This case
occupied the attention of the
court Wednesday and Thursday.
The plaintiff brings suit to quiet
title to six quarter sections of
land near Wilmot valued at about
$40, 900. The land belonged to
the deceased in his life time to-
gether with another section of
land. A deed of separation was
executed between Jarman and
wife on Dee. 7, 1907. 1t is
claimed by the plaintiff that in
accordance Herewith Jarman
and his wife joined in a deed of
ten quarter sections to the son
Charles E. Jarman, the defend
ant, who agreed to deed one sec
ton Of land to his mother and to
hold the other six quarter sec
tions in trust for his father to
facilitate q conveyance in case
the elder Jarman should find a
purchaser for it. The defendant
executed d deed conveying a
section of land to his mother.
Afterwards and on Dec. %, 1907,
i VIM. r. Jarman committed
suicide. 1t is claimed by the
plaintiff that young Jarman re-
cognized the fact that he simply
held the land in trust for the
reason that he leased a portion
of it from the administrator dur
ing 1908. 1t seems, however,
that about the time the crops
were ripe on the land that young
Jarman asserted ownership to
the six quarter sections and
claimed the GRO IS on the same,
asserting that he became the alb
solute owner under the deed
issued to him by his father A
great many Witnesses are pre-
sent from WilInot and the case
is exciting a great deal of in
tcrest, AS there are ten children
who participate as heirs in this
estate it will readily be seen that

heirs.
