new anti Polygamy bill in the Sen
ate, which provides that the wife Of

the attendance of witnesses without
personal service of a subpoena, and
deprives offenders of the benefit of
the statute of limitation.

of that village that unless they obeyed

resisted payment of interest on the

to sell property levied on under the

the Marshal began the sale the drums
were beaten and the fits blown so
loudly that no bids could be heard
After endeAvOring for an hour to pro

Of this ring and carry it in triumph to
a spot selected a few yards of. The
rings were numbered from l to IS, and
the man who captured number l was
to be the chief. The strife was very
lively and incessant, as fresh bomb
would be fired off before the ring from
the preceding bomb had been taken in.
The rings, whose numbers were I'M
known to the contestants Candidates.,
were taken and given over to council
