RELIEF OF ARNOLDs FAMILY.
Mr.. TUTH1LL offered a bill appropriating
5000 to the relief of the family of George Ar.
mold, of the I'd Cavalry, who was ''brutally
murdered at Willoughbys on election day.
Mr.. TAYLOR, of Stearns, moved to amend
dren Of Frederic Duhn, of st. Cloud, who was
killed by Indians last summer In Polk county.
Lost, yeas IA, nays 10. rg - .l
MI. TAYLOR said the family of DUNN were
as deserving as the family of Arnold. The bill
declares that the latter was brutally murdered
whereas al jury had recently declared by &C
quitting the person accused, that such was not
the case. The passage of the bill under such
circumstances would seem partisan.
Mr.. TUTHILL repudiated the charge of
partizanship and spoke of the necessitous and
deserving character of Arnold's family.
Mr.. COLVILLE said there was no doubt
that it was brutal murder. The person re-
| ferred to by Mr.. Taylor as acquitted of the
charge, proved an alibi.
Mr.. GUITEAU defended the Dakota county
people OF any sympathy with the murderers.
| They had spent Large sum in endeavoripg to
apprehend and convict them, and such asper-
| sions las those cast by the gentleman from
| Dodge were totally unjustifed. 80, "ta4a
was referred to the Committee On Ways and
