H. ]. r. %, authorizing the Gov

was read.
Judge Jacobs said he saw O ne.
cessity for the resolution. Certain
claims had resulted from the Indian
wars. The Territory would not be
compelled to pay anything but five
per cent. commission for collection.
Unless the Territory had an agent to
prosecute the claims and receive the
money, it would probably never be
paid.

suspension of the rules, the vote
being unanimous.

to vote for measure TO send money
