demic or danger of one, for which a
quarantine should be maintained. A
strong fight was made against the bill
in which Cristoval Sanchez was leader,
and the entire morning was spent in
flibustering. Mr.. Sanchez first moved
that the substitute be ordered printed
and r~e-referred to the judiciary com
mittee. Mr.. Dalies asked that the bill
he read in full. The request was
granted and the bill read. 1t amends
sections 1877 and 200 of the compiled
laws of 1897. Mr.. Sanchez then ex.
planned that his motion was made as
a demand for time to consider the sub
stitute. Mr.. Pollard protested and said
the bill had been introduced at the re-
quest of the cattle sanitary board and
was approved by that body and the
governor. He stated that 1t provides
for the emergency that has arisen of
| danger to the cattle industry from
Texas fever and prompt action is need
ed. 1t was a general measure affecting
the whole territory and he urged its

Mr.. Pollard was interrupted by a
/ message from the council announcing
the passage of council bill No. 20, the
! coal oil repeal bill. and amended coun-
Gil bill No. 6. relating to the burial of
INDECENT soldiers.
Mr.. Pollard resumed his remarks
and at some length spoke strongly in
favor of the bill and pointed out the
wisdom o. the measure.
Mr.. Elewellyn. as chairman of the
judiciary committee, said the commit.

as an amendment to suspend the rules
and Pedro Sanchez went into the his
tory of Texas and New Mexico at great
length. He said formerly Texas sem

and now it sends a fever. He believed
in every nan taking care of his own
and did not think the bill should be
passed without full investigation and
consideration. He favored printing
the bill an re-referring it and asked
that time be given the members tc
know what they are doing. Mr.. Turner
favored the amendment of Mr.. Bowie
Cristoval Sanchez moved to table the
amendments, but the motion was lost
