THIS FoRENooN's SESSION.
Upon the conclusion of the reading of
the journal Mr.. Carr rose to Il question
of personal privilege. He said that yes
terday being st. Valentines day he had
not been forgotten. He continued that
among others that had been placed upon
his desk Yesterday one was as
vile, foul and indecent carica-
ture in pen ard ink as was
ever placed upon the desk Of leg
islator. Upon the heading of the sheet
were the words, with the compliments
of the employees of the 3lst assembly,
He said that he could not allow so unde-
served an insult to pass in silence. He
thought that while this communication
came apparently as the act of all the en-
ployes there we're at least some of them
who had nothing to do with the matter
He declared that the employees had no
better friend in either house than himself
and explained fully that his position was
in favor of their compensation to date,
with reduction of their members there
after to reasonable figures.
Mr.. Hlnkle stated, at the request of the
employees, that the communication to Mr.
a body and that they regretted that any
one of their number had taken so i'm
proper step.
Mr.. Christy said that it was not certain
that the communication had come ever
from an employe. He thought, however
that the employees should find out who
sent the insulting valentine so that the
offender might be discharged from thu
house. If any member of the house hat
been guilty of the offense he should b,
brought before the bar of the house ant
summarily dealt with.
Mr.. Miguel Martinez was convinced
that no employe had been guilty of tn
offense complained of and thought it hat
been done by an outsider rs a means o
! injury to the cause of the employees.
A motion was made to adjourn by MI
/ Martin but was lost by vote of 10 to IL
petition was presented from the man
/ ayers of the Albuquerque children's HON
asking that it be made territorial insti
tuition.
Mr.. Armijo did not desire the petitio
received as he thought it would pave tn
way to further draught upon the treas
/, ury.
The house, however, decided by vot
: of Is to to receive the petition and
!, was sent to the committee on finance.
2 H. B. No. SO, Mr.. Galegos' bill, relatin
to the pasturing of sheep and goats nea
o towns and cities, was next considered.

9 This motion was lost by vote of 1
: to 10.
The bill was then read in full. 1t pre-
d hibits the pasturing of sheep and goat
e ''within two miles from the side of an
9 town containing over seventy-fve head
2 of families" This prohibition is not t
apply to number under 100 head in
y tended for home use.
y Mr.. Carr offered an amendment NAL
8 ing the distance 1000 yards instead {
t two miles, and moved the adoption q
o this amendment.
!. Mr.. Gutierrez thought that the amend
d ment would make the bill little if an
l. better than the existing law.
r, Mr.. Sanchez desired the amendmer
tabled indefinitely.
i Mr.. Carr thought that the bill as
j. whole was bad, but that his amendmer
s would 60 long ways toward remedyin
l. the intended wrong of the original bill
IS He did not see why sheep and goa
should be legislated against when burre
% and other animals we're allowed to pu
l. sue the even tenor of their ways.
% Mr.. Miguel Martinez wanted the bi
le tabled indefinitely and argued forcibly
favor of his motion to that effect, citin
le the condition of things in Mora count
10 as an example.

would protect the interests of the pc,
y and asked that the bill be recommitte
re 80 that it might be perfected.
