BIsMARcK, Oak. Special Telegram. Feb.
3.-The event Of the day in the legislature
was Gov. Pe,ce's veto OF Council Bill No. IS.
changing the name of the village of Ordway
to Independence. The message was brief,
the reason stated by the executive for his dis.
approval of the measure being that protests
had been received from citizens of Ordway.
and that if the name be changed the people
should be granted the privilege of voting on
the question. The veto was evidently q
surprise to many in the council, as the opin.
Ion has been freely expressed that ii the
governor did not approve the bill he would
allow the three days to pass necessary to con-
stitute it a law. Some discussion arose. a mo.
zion being made to table the message. when
IL occurred to the council that the proper
thing to do would be to make an attempt tn
pass the bill over the veto. The roll being
called, the motion was lost by a vote of 10
to ID The vote stood:
Afirmative-Messrs Cameron, Duncan. Far
