Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1877-01-09

II 10 THE prevalent opinion OF mem
bers and correspondents that the present
Legislature will have 3 dull session. az
no great matters of importance have YET
been foresbsdowed. The usual number
Of LOBBYISTS and other interested parties
are present, but as yet no very great
amount of work has been done. There
will occur deal of local legislation IL
regard to different projects in different
psrts of the State; but few bills will be
presented which will affect the interests
Of the community at large. II not 90,
at least the bills are in embryo. and are
scrupulously concealed by their Eespec-
tive originstors.

LAST evening the Hughes and Pad

Two things we're offered BY the manage

port of the destitute families of the two
murdered men, and the second was an
entertainment fully commensurate with
the money expended. Little Nell and
others volunteered their services, aud
the receipts were in accordance with
what had been expected.
