end of the session, and the house will be up in
the thousands. This is proportional represent

The Fish-r-Matter Case.-It seems that there was an attempt to revive the case at Bisbee against E. r. Fish CT. which occupied SO much time of the Douglas court attracting cOnsidera- ble attention here some three weeks ago. It seems that by agreement the case against Fisher. who had been ar rested on a charge Of assault and bat tcry on Mrs Matter. was dismissed here. Imagine EIr. Fishers surprise when the constable from Bisbee ap- peared a few days ago and served a warrant upon him issued by a justice of the peace. basel on the same charge that had formerly been lodged against him in this city. The hearing of the Bisbee case was to have been today, but yesterday evening Mir. Fisher re- ceiyed a telegram from Judge Wright who is in Tombstone telling him that District Attorney Flannigaa had or dered that the case against him at Bisbee had been ordered dismissed and that Mr. Fisher need not go to Bisbee today.
