White of Kentucky, after the passage
of the bill, moved to amend the title, and
launched into constitutional argument,
when he was called to order by Budd for

"Oh," said White, "You are not post
ing bills! You are young member, and
don't know the rules" [Laughter.]
Budd-I may be young, but l am not
going to have my brains kicked out by
a mule.
White-Of course not You would have

terday noon as Timothy OConnor and
his brother Mike were driving along the
road to Luby creek, twelve miles from
here, they were warned by Earnest AL
len and others not to cross certain piece
of land belonging to the school district
Not needing the warning, an attempt
was made to stop them, which did not
succeed, and they passed on. When re-
turning later in the day, the O'Connors
found wire stretched across the school
district land to prevent their passage and
five men-two named Allen and three
named Breen-stationed there with shot
guns and revolvers. Mike O'Connor cut
the wire, when Earnest Allen shot and
killed Tim OConnor. Mike then rushed
at one Of the Breens with an axe and
chopped his head, inf1icting a fatal
wound. The party then closed IN on
Mike and broke a shotgun over his head,
him. All parties were arrested
and jailed. The affair grew out of an
old feud between the Breens and the
O'Connors.
