 is not putting it strong enough. They have been ''mOnkeying" They have
 been playing horse" They are hay ing Q heap of fun, but the clerks who record their dOings have sci2tica and writer's cTamp, and it requires 50 min utes time to read the minutes of a session where three bills were intro duced and read by title, and an act concerning bOunties on coyote scalps was referred to the committee on fed eral relations. They had fun all day yesterday. God bless their merry hearts, and they adjourned convul.ed with laughter.

 Mir Bunch ably defended Ir. ! Wright MT. Wright then defended | himself and closed by moving that the l entire council except MT. Hunt and ] himself, were in contempt. MT Hunt | seconded the motion. Mir. Bunch with | drew his remarks in defense Of MT | Wright, and MT. Wrights motion was ! put and lost When the gentlemen | tired of the sport. the question was put ! as to Mir.

 The spirit of fun that so fills the body cropped out in the serious part . of the proceedings.
