CONGRESSMAN PRICE of Wisconsin has
introduced a bill which provides for the
appointment of seven commissioners by
the President who shall serve for two
years and make thorough investigation

days is not, What are the effects of the
use of intoXicants: but, How can the traf-
tic be most effectually controlled or sup.

Perry Tomlinson, Constable Moore called
him up and had read the warrant when Per-
~ noticed Bridges standing outside the

then turned back int the house, got his
double barreled shotgun, went out the back
door and came around the house, and with
out word having bean spoken by John
Bridges or myself he fired at Bridges. shoot

upon him and twisted the gun from his
hsnd, when the Constable. with my assist
aDce, put him under arrest
Yesterday afternoon the Superintendent
CT Police and Surgeon Hodges visited the
woDn ded man, and found him terribly in.
jured. The entire load OF shot took effect in
the facs and neck, tearing sway part of
the face and several teeth. Tomlinscn was
committed to Jail yesterday in default OF
