THE LEGISLATURE.
The House Keeps Up the Good Old
Fashioned Lick.
THE FIRST BILL Is PASSED.
And Goes to the Governor for His
Consideration.

Col. Harrington filled the Chai
! this morning to the satisfaction o
all.
:. Speaker Smiths hoarseness is i'm
proving and by Monday he will b.
able to fill the Chair. ,
1t is expected that the differen
! committees will form a number o
l bills ready for final passage on Mon
day.
The supporters of H B 81 are de
termined to get the same passed il
+ possible. This morning they haC
the same reconsidered and referred
to the judiciary committee. The
Objectionable part of the bill seems
to be that part which reads "any
one stealing dog or enticing it
, away from it's rightful owner shall
be fined accordingly" The gentle
men supporting this bill claim that
it is impossible for sheep men to
get along without their "herd dogs"
and consider them more valuable
than a good horse. Some of the
number did not want to vote for it
in that shape, as a man might have
to pay for stealinga worthless dog"
One gentleman claimed that a man
should be fined "twice as much for
stealing a worthless dog as for
stealing a valuable dog.
