lence. Three companies of the state
guard took up their position on the
state house grounds this morning and

without warrant of law, necessity or
Justification" and appointing q COM
mittee headed by Senator Goebel to
enquire into such contempt and
breach of privilege" and to report to
the senate for final action. This was
adopted as a substitute for a resolu-
ton offered by Senator B%ronston, vlo-
lently denouncing Gov. Bradley and
declaring the purpose of the senate
to suspend all legislation while the
military guard remained in possession
of the capitol. The house got into a
tanglc over a number of resolutions
offered by both sides, all Of which
finally withdrawn.

ference with Gov. Bradley in which he

KEPT U OF JAIL.
Authorities Afraid of an Action for
False imprisonment.


False imprisonment.
Madison, Wis, March 12-Whiie on-
victed of misdemeanor, Mark H. Bar
mum has so far been unable to break
into the Richland county jail. News
reached here to-day that he presented
himself there Saturday night to begin
his sentence, but was refused admit
lance because the supreme court has
not certified back the record of the
Richland county circuit court affirming
his sentence, and the Richland county
jailer refuses to receive Barnum as a
guest until he receives an order to do
so. Meanwhile Barnum demands that
he be allowed to begin his sentence,
and to-day the Richland county au-
thorities consulted Madison attorneys
as to whether they can permit such a
step. They are afraid suits for false
imprisonment may follow should they
take Barnum as a prisoner without the
usual formalities.
