Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1901-02-16

two districts each with one senator and
two representatives to the district,
and Packard tried to suspend the rules
to amend the report, but the minority
was ''skeery' and hung out against the
proposition, with three long hours of

would be rushed through to third read
ing.
1t was the greatest fight of the session
and some bitterness was engendered.
The details are given below.

report to make it conform to the bill as
it came from the senate respecting
Barnes, Cavalier and Traill counties, and
moved a suspension of the rules to get at
the report for that purpose. Cassell be-
came spokesman for the minority and
