Bismarck, Feb. 14.-After one Of the
busiest days Of the session the house and
senate adjourned for a week and the ma
jority OF members have gone home. There
was plenty of excitement and debate in
both houses. The most interesting mat

injury bill. which is being lobbted for by
railroad employees Of the state. The bill
came up in general orders in the house.
BUTTE, Of Ransom, sought to have con-

in the bill, providing that no suit for dam
ages could: be brought by any, employees
whose negligence had contributed to the
