BY Comins, Senate Joint Resolution
No. 4-Relative to the construction of

Summerfield moved to amend by
adding paragraph censuring Sen
ator Stewart for his action in Con-

Martin hoped the motion would not
prevail. 1t looked like an endeavor
to intrude too much partisan effect
and place too much blame.
Comins spoke strongly against the
motion. Jones would also have to be
similarly censured, and at any rate
such an amendment was out of place
and not in good taste.
Summerfeld sustained and Gig
noun strongly opposed it and the mo-
ton was lost.
The reso,ntion finally passed by the
following vote: Ayes-12; Skaggs, no:

horse Bosak traded was a good n and
Hansen guaranteed his to be equally as
good. In the trade he gave Bosak $25.
When Bosak wen to the barn the
next day his new horse was unable to
rise and in a few days was dead. Bosak
was angry and determined to get his
horse back. He vent to Hansen's barn
and took the horse. Then 1t was Han
ms turn to act and he had a search
warrant sworn out. He also took a con-
stable to arrest Bosak.
aettting the horse did not prove to be
an easy thing by any means. Con-
stable Bates had with him a boy and a
man and getting his forces together ad-
vanced upon the enemy. The horse was
got out and the boy started off with 1t,
