Legislature therefor il called in special
session viii be to pass a general law un-
der which Wills lodged in foreign coun-
tries can be proved here.

eating this plan that enough members Of

gother 20 assure Governor Lea that If the
session Is called no other business but
that in regard TO proving wills filed In
foreign countries will be transacted. This
would preclude an attempt to nn the ex-
isting United States Senatorial vacancy
and no vote thereon would be taken.
SESSION WOULD BE BRIEF.
To transact this business IL would not
take more than two or three hours. AL
though the expense would probably be
from $500 to $500. It would not be borne by
the State.
The expenses It Is understood viii be
arranged for by those who are proposing

But Releases Them on
Payment of Claim

Constable Thomas II. Buckley had a
lively time at Fifth and Pine streets

serious. He had previously levied on

ed to find that the attached goods were
being moved by men from Chester in
two large furniture vans. one wagon
was loaded and the other was load
ing.
Two men were on the first van and
were about TO drive of when the con-
stable commanded them to stop. They
refused and started up the horses. The
officer then called some bystanders to
mis- assistance and in short time a
crowd of twenty-five had collected
about the teamsters, who We're then
placed under arrest by Buckley on a
charge of attempting 10 take attached
goods out of the STATE. The owner of
the furniture arrived about this time,
however. and paid the constable 5
claim and the latter then released the
men he had taken in custody.
The officer also stood treat for the
crowd and the bill came 20 S1.20.
