HI INDIAN MAR
A a tor Arms from Lusk and Dong
Ias---MiIItIa Liable TO BE Called Out.

Governor Barber received kilograms
from Douglas aud Lusk yesterday asking
that arms and ammunition be sent to the
citizens, in order that an adequate defense
may be made should any wandering bands
of Indians stray in the vicinity. The fact
thst these requests were made gave rise to
the rumor that the militia would be called
out today.
1t is not improbable that the Rock
Springs and Cheyenne companies will be
called out before the close of the week to
protect Newcastle or Sundance. The
Rock Springs company has not received
arms, but if set out will be furnished with
the old-style SrringheIds now on hand
here. A company has been organized at
Douglas, and Maj. Sitter will go to that
place on Thursday TO muster the members
into service. Co. B is ready for service and
can take the field at an hours notice.
Company B Is the best drilled and dis
ciplined company in tho state and will
not be found wanting if called upon to do
active service on the field. The only hes
ltancy about going to the front expressed
by the boys is through the fear that some
of them now holding important positions
may lose them by being absent from bust
ness and that their employers may fill
their places permanently with other per
sons should they go out with the com-
pany. Such fears should be groundless,
as no employer should be SO unpatriotic
as to dispense with the service of any em-
ploYe WIS is riskine his life aud giving
valuable time to aid in protecting the
citizens of the state.

A VETO,
The following message was received
from the governor: l have the honor to
return herewith, without my appro cal,
senate enrolled Act No. IA. entitled, "An
act to protect ~proprietors of hotels, inns,
boarding houses and lodging houses"
This is az act which will be admins
tered by the courts of justices OF the
peace, officers who, as a general rule, en-
ter upon their official duties without any
previous preparation by study of the
laws; hence the very great importance
that the law should be definite, certain
unequivocal in terms.
The object of this act appears to be to
afford a certain class of business men,
therein named, a special remedy against
delinquent debtors in addition to the spe-
cial remedies generally accorded under
the present laws. by permitting the attach
ment Of wages due the debtor for the re-
covery of debts for board or lodging, or
both, regardless Of the general exemp-
tons accorded the debtor by the statutes.
The objection to this act is in its am
biguity. The amount which may be at
tached cannot be determined with certain
ty from its terms. 1t may be construed
to mean four weeks wages due the board
er, which may be a considerable amount;
or 1t may be construed TO mean the
amount of four weeks board or lodging,
or both, due the attaching creditor. which
may be a small amount. The act is 9th
erwise ambiguous, and instead of point
ing out clearly the rights and remedies Of
the creditor, is uncertain as to both.
