Fergus county won out handiiy to-
day, the bill to take part of the coun-
ty and attach il to Yellowstone. be.
ing summarily killed in the senate.
To the surprise of many the bill had
passed the house by practically a
unanimous vote but when il came ID
the senate today, Senator Waite nos
ed that the further consideration Of
the bill be indefinitely postponed.
Senator Yegen of Yellowstone moved
to lay that motion On the table and
on a vote only three senators Tete
with the Yellowstone member while
twenty members voted with Sen.
ator Waite. and without division the
original motion prevailed the the bill
was dead. Senator Waite has had
the bill well in hand for some time
and while well satisfied that he could
defeat the measure. was much pleas

him when the vote was taken.
The surprise of the day. however,
was the house. mat body adopting tie
bill repeating the present ~anti-gambl.
ing law and enacting in its stead a
high license measure. From the de-
bate il appeared that a majority was
well satisfied that the gamblers were
really paying a high license eor
protection of their games, but that
the money was going into the peck.

attorneys, instead OF into the state
treasury. Speaker White and others
did their utmost to defeat the bill.
denouncing it as a disgrace upon the
house TO pass such a bill, but they
were voted down by nearly two to
one. Its passage will undoubtedly
awaken the opponents of gambling
and a pretty fight will be made in the
senate. But even should that body
pass the bill ii is almost certain that
Governor Toole will veto II. as he did
a similar measure two years ago.
The senate spent the entire day
listening to reports of committees
and in committee of the whole. The
initiative and referendum bill was
f~avorably reported. every Democrat
voting for II and every Republican
against it. The commissioners road
law was also favorably recommended.
The house held two long sessions.

in the committee of the whole. Be
sides fayorably considering the gam
bling bill. the new bounty law (pub-
lished by the Argus last week.. and
a substitute for the Miller bill TO regu.
late the taking OF prisoners to the
state penitentiary were among those
favorably considered, But one
amendment to the bounty faw was
permitted by its friends, this proyid-
ing that only the lower jaw instead
of the whole head should he cut off
for identification. johnson again
tried to kill the bill by amendments
but he was voted down.
The committee substitute for the
Miller bill is taken from the Idaho
statutes and provides that after con
viction and sentence of a criminal
the ~penitentiary officials shall he no.
titled and a sufficient guard, n OF
more as necessity demands, shall be
sent to bring the criminal TO Deer
Lodge. II is claimed that such a law
will cut out the graft which has
prevailed 80 long and will result in
great saving, the guards being regu
larly employed at a salary and en-
titled to no extra compensation fol
such service, the only cost being for
