On the Trail

Sheep Camp, lay In the bed Of the
drifted canyon between two beetins
mountains The camp struggled along
the canyons bed for two miles, q
tangled mass Of canvas tents, varied
near the trail by a few buildings, hall

Unusual commotion stirred the place
this morning. 1t centered near the
upper end of the camp. On an open
space, a bare, wind-beaten knoll, a
crowd had gathered. AS the sun
mounted higher, it grew. Evidently
something of moment had drawn this
throng, for the men who passed In the
long procession Of toilers on the trail
cast curious glances at its edges OF
tried by gaining vantage points to look
over the heads of those on its outer
fringe.
AS time went on the general ex
pectancy became impatience. In
spots this found vent in mutterings
Now and then voice cried:
Here they GOMEZ"
At such times all eyes centered on
the door of one Of the cabins.
After several of these premature
alarms, the door opened and three
men came forth. And every eye was
on the middle man of the three.
He walked with his bullet head bent
forward. His hands were bound with
ropes behind his back. His face was
leaden-white. His figure was we'll
knit, every line showing power oi
muscle, just as every lineament OF his
face showed brutal strength and craft
born of animal instinct. His lips were
drawn back in a sort of snarl. The
expression was q horrible mingling OF
impotent hatred and fright. He sham
bled as he passed among the crowd.
When his conductors reached the
center Of the crowd, the highest poin,
on the knoll, they stopped beside a
tramway stanchion. One Of them un
bound the prisoners wrists.

The man slowly removed his clothes
until he was bare to the waist
The two custodians tied the prisoner &
hands to one of the stanchion poles.
One of the two who had conducted
the prisoner into their midst addressed
the gathering, telling what had hap
pened. Though every one OF them
knew it all they hung breathless on his
words.
This man, who stood lashed to the
stanchion, he said, was thief. He
and another had been captured the
previous day. For weeks they had
systematically pillaged caches. They

THE LIME LIGHT GET STATE MONEY
Funds Due the Minnesota Public
Institutions
ALL ARE SNUG SUMS
State Auditor Makes Distribution
Among Different State Estab-
liShmentS

State Auditor S. G.. lverson has
credited 10 the various state insti-
tutions the amounts due them under
an act of the legislature passed last
year which wipes out the state insti-
tutions' fund and the state institu-
tions interest" fund, transferring the
amounts in those funds to the SWAMP
land and swamp land interest
funds, respectively, and provides fol-
an annual distribution of one-half of
the amount in the latter fund to the
various state institutions, the other
half going to the general school fund
In 1865 the legislature passed an act
setting aside certain number of
acres Of swamp lands for the state
institutions then in existence. In
1881 a constitutional amendment was
adopted providing that all swamp
lands owned by the state were to be
apportioned, one-half to the common
school fund and one-half to the edu-
cational and charitable institutions OF
the state. The principal of the funds
derived from the sale of such swamp
lands was to be forever preserved in
violate and undiminished.
No swamp lands were selected un-
der the act CT 1865 until several years
after the adoption of the constitution
al amendment in 1881, which operat-
ed to repeal the act of 1865, but not
withstanding this amendment certain
swamp lands had been selected for
the state institutions and the proceeds
from the sale thereof had been kept
intact and no division of either prin-
cipal or interest had been made.
The principal of this fund had on
July 81, 1906, reached the sum of
$7SO,556.25 and the accrued interest
thereon $57,341.O1. Believing that ii
was the manifest intention of the
people, in adopting the constitutional
amendment, that the proceeds from
the sale of those lands should be
equally divided between the school
fund and the state institutions in the
relative ratio of the cost of support
of such institutions, the legislature
passed the law which puts the pro-
ceeds of these sales in the swamp
land fund and the interest derived
from the investment of that fund in
the swamp land interest fund, and
providing for the annual distribution
of one-half of this interest fund to
the various state institutions, the
other half to go to the general school
fund
Under this law the state auditor
has now distributed to the various
state institutions their share of the
SCI, ,14472 credited to the revenue
fund out of the swamp land interest
fund for this year as follows: Uni

From page 1

gentlemen are daring enough to
tackle the real, live questions of the
hour, making to them an application
OF the political principles in which
they each respectively believe. Now
this is a dangerous thing to do. The
people, whom the astute politician
o.. the old school very much fears
when they are awake, are very apt
to sit up and take notice. Far SAT-
e.. it is for the republican leader
to deal generously in glittering plati-
tudes relative to the bright record
made by the G. O. P. in the far
away war which threatened the dis
solution of the states; or the demo-
cratic orator to swell with pride over
the philosophy of Thomas Jefferson
and the deeds of the founders of
the government.
The venomous hate displayed to-
ward Mr.. Bryan, and the source from
which it springs, ought to, and does
make him the beloved of the COM
mon people. For twelve years he
has been the target of every undemo-
cratic force in and out of his party.
His foes have not been dullards,
thev have embraced some of the
shrewdest intellects in the country.
That there are so few dents in his
armor speaks volumes for Bryan. He
will go to Denver already virtually
nominated by the rank and file OF
his party, and it is hardly probable
that the willy work of the cunning
politicians, who are always much in
evidence in every great convention,
will be able to unset him.

And tonight come the cool breezes

Do not carry away any false idea
from this that the breaking OF the
hot wave means any hurry call for
the winter blankets. Nay, and then
some. This cool swell that Is rolling
our way from the moose country Is
just about an eight-degree drop. but
that means a lot Of saving In laundry
bills on collars.
With the mercury gayly frolicking
around the 80 mark, the best We can
get Is an assurance that 1t will be
down to 80 by riday's sun-up, and
may be a little lower. From out of
the big forests to the northwest, this
ocean OF cooler air is gently waiting
our way. u Is central right now over
the northwest, but Is advancing. to
cover the central valleys and lake re.
gion.
For three days we shall have only
fair summer weather. And then? The
weather prophet gets to be pesimist.
In the language of the charts, there
is a big barometric disturbance on the
way with rain on the side. and rising
temperatures, which is due to follow
the cool wave. Prepare to tend one
of those heat thirsts again. when that
disturbance gets started. until about
Aug s, when the cool fan will be turn
ed on again and we will all be happy
