cocted at Meeting in
Kugels Home.

When told of the charges prepared
against him and Detective Paul Sut-
ton by Chief of Police Dunn, Captain

'I'm satisfied, for it is exactly what

When questioned as to whether he
had Expected proceedings to be
brought, he declared:
81 knew they were gong to job
me, but l did not think it possible
they, would try it on the Chadron
case. | did not know the detectives
were in Chadron until informed by
the reporters that | was accused OF

81 told County Attorney OSullivan

they were going to do it, ! have kept
my Office open at all times since ]

Raising Values on School
Lands, Cuts Desire to Sell
(From a Staff Correspondent)

Lincoln, Neb.,. May 2,-(Special)
1t is known that school lands under
irrigation projects that are watered
or are to be watered by works con-
structed in whole or in part by the
United States, where leases are dated
prior to 1897, are subject to sale privl-
eges. In pursuance of this statute.
there is now pending in the office of
he land commissioner a number OF
pplications to purchase.
Recently Commissioner Shumway
md Secretary of State Pool made a
rip to western Nebraska to review
approximately 5000 acres of these
ands sought to be purchased. The
county commissioners in appraislng
hese lands for purchase had placed
thereon a valuation of about S25,0OO.
After carefully examining the lands
The Board of Educational Lands and
Funds considered this valuation much
:oo low and in its review have raised
The values about $4,000, or around
IS per acre average above the valua-
tions placed upon them by the county
commissioners.
The work of reappraising all lands
for leasing purposes has not yet be-
gun, the board having under con-
temptation an entirely different plan
of valuation. Should this plan be fol-
lwed, the local element will not en-.
tr into reappraisements and the land
,iI be valued at its real worth
A continuation of the work will re-
luce the activities, argument and de-
lire for selling these lands and the
next legislature will have one less
trouble to contend with.
