THE FLIGHT OF THE REPUBLI-
CANS.
Considerable discussion was caused
by the claim of Sheriff Mcqueen for
apprehending the Republicans on the
memorial hegira of January IL. The
committee on claims furnished ma
jolity report rejecting the claim.
Seaman, in a minority report, asked
that 1t be granted Seaman said the
claim was a proper one and should be
allowed.
Hart also quoted authority to prove
that the claim was proper one.
Taylor, Eldredge and Booth, of Salt
Lake, opposed the claim as Illegal
Booth. of Provo, wished to have the
statement that the sheriff was employ
ed in searching for him stricken from
the claim. he mad been excused on
that occasion, and there was no reason
for such search. He had met the sher-
If and that officer showed no DISPOSE
ton TO arrest him.
williams said that attaches of the
Council had been pressed into the ser
vice and had taken an oath to faith
fully discharge their temporary du-
ties but had very soon shown utter
faithiessness or utter incompetency,
and the sheriff, chief of police, and
United States marshal and assistants
were called in to aid The sergeant at
arms who, he had no doubt, tried to
do his duty but was alone and failed.
There was nothing in the claims Of IL
legality No attempt had been made
to prove that service mad not been ren-
dered by the sheriff. The fugitive
members should not shirk a just claim
brought on by their misconduct. They
had obliterated the record CT their dis
grace from the journal. That should
be sufficient.
Booth, OF Salt Lake, made long
and would-be -pathetic protest against
granting The claim. The burden of his
piaint was first, the great necessity of
the passage of the lead memorial, sec
ond. that the appearance Of an officer
of the law at his home had caused

not Lame either side for its stand on
the memorable occasion Had The sit
nations been reversed ne believed the
same state of things would have re-

tured raillery Of the minority and fin
ally said he hoped this resume of past
affairs would occasion no i'll feeling.
The vote stood 5 for and S against
the allowance of the claim
The claims of Steele, Chambers and
Waldemar, were referred to the COM
mittee on appropriations.

mended that the claims cf Lewis KEEL
