struck was as lark, and possessing
all the liberty that the constitution of
the union guarantees any one, but this
evening he has a sentence of from
one to ten years in the penitentiary

Edgar has team, and feed is high
in price, so he thought that he would

brother and stepfather, Albert Caster,
was helping himself when discovered

SHUMWAY ENTERS
LAND RULE PROTEST
Land Commissioner Takes Oc-
casion to Dissent from Su-
preme Court Opinion.
ASKS RECONSIDERATION

Lincoln, May s. - Especially
State Land Commissioner Shumway
has dissented from the opinion OF the
supreme court in the case recently
rendered in which the state loses
eighty acres of land in Furnas county
because it failed TO assert its rights
for long period Of time. Mr.. Shum-
way protests against such decision,
because it will lose the state many
acres of land. He said in addition
I protest also, for the reason that II In
terferes with the handling Of this execu-
tive department and reflects upon the integ-
rty of the officials since II was organized.
Why should the court assume that the
state has not asserted Its right many times
through the ordinary channels OF corro-
spondence between this office and the IN
dividuals or the county treasurers, with
out searching the flies and the proceed
ings Of the Board of Public Lands and
Buildings and the Board OF Educational
Lands and Funds since the beginning of the
state? The fact that It has not been prev
iously called to the attention OF the court
does not Justify the assumption that the
state has been negligent in claiming its
own.
Furthermore, this state has 10000 forty
acre farms besides innumerable smaller
tracts scattered through cighty-nine coun-
ties and 1t is utterly impossible, with the
appropriations that have been granted, to
know IL an occasional tract OF these lands
Is not occupied. used or claimed by an In
dividual other than the state.
In the interest Of fairness, I urge re-
consideration of the Decree because 1t lays a
foundation for absorbing extensive acreage
