Two men, named II. T. Minter and r..

tice Burroughs yesterday on the charge
of lighting In Atlantic City Ward on
Christmas Day. The men who appear
ed to be about evenly matched had some
difficulty. and instead of resorting to
the law. knives. pistols or razors, they
decided TO settle their trouble according
to marquis of Queensbury'' rules. Be
fore either could knock the other out,
however. an officer OF the law took
n hand In the combat and brought them
both to the station house The evidence
before His Honor yesterday proved
clearly that Holland was the uggressor
and he was fined SIPS. The charge
against Minter was dismissed. Later,
however, he was bound over In the

THE HOUSE.
Thirty-five Bills Introduced In Ten Min
utes-SOme Good Ones.

Thirty-five Bills Introduced In Ten Min
utes-SOme Good Ones.
The house met at 10 o'clock The gal
leries for the first time were almost de-
serted and there was less number in
the Iobbies than usual
MIR. Bucklin of Logan joined the skull
cap brigade this morning and appeared
with that protection which those who
suffer from the absence of the nat
ural head protection, use. The list now
includes Sherman of Shawnee and Brad
ley of HOdgeman, while many shining
heads are still exposed to the drafts Of
fresh air which sometimes sough
through the hall in spite of the superin-
tendent CT ventilation.
When the introduction of bills was
reached the marvellous bill producing
capacity of the present house
was again made manifest. Thirty five
bills we're introduced in about ten min
utes, with members still clamoring for
recognition.
Bills were offered by Mr. Thisler to
prohibit the manufa eture and sale of
oleomargarine; by Mr.. Mccarthy, to reg
ulate fire insurance companies doing
business in Kansas; by Mr. Sheafer, TO
divide the state into two appellate court
districts; by Mr.. Seaton, to provide for
marking by tablets and monuments the
positions of Kansas troops on the battle
| field of Chickamauga: by Mr.. Benefiel,
to regulate the practice of medicine,
with especial reference to certain travel
| ing vendors.
Mr.. Barnett of Ness offered bill pro-
viding for the establishment of a state
normal school at Ness City, He attempted
to advance it to the second reading, but
was overwhelmed by chorus of noes
! from the Republican side
No Commissioner of Elections
Mr.. Veale presented a bill abolishing
the Office Of the commissioner of elections
| in cities of the first class and having his
duties performed by the city clerk
Mr. Street presented bill prohibiting
the cancellation of insurance policies
without due notice being given.
| A bill providing for the treatment of
inebriates was introduced by Mr.. Beck
man of Cowley. The bill gives confirmed
| inebriates upon application to the pro-
bate judge or other proper officers the
| advantage of medical treatment to be
paid for by the state.
The love of sport which characterizes
| Wichita was evidenced by the
Introduction by Mr.. Eckstein of bill
to encourage the breeding of fast horses
and 20 prevent ringing"
Bills amendatory of the prohibitory
law were presented by Col Warner OF
Cherokee and MIR. Hackbusch of Leav-
enworth. Mr.. Hackbusch's bill makes
the offense punishable with fine or i'm
prisonment instead of fine and impris-
onment, making conviction easier it is
| claimed.
Mr.. Cubbison introduced a bill of i'm.
portance in reference to railroads The
first part of it provides that it shall be a
misdemeanor punishable by a fine oil
from $1,000 to $4,000 for the state board
