an Ugly Riot.

Cheyenne. Wyo.-Never before in
the history of Wyoming Legislature
was such a scene enacted as occurred
on the floor of the Senate Saturday af-
ternoon. The reapportionment meas.
ure. increasing the legislative repre-
sentation OF Uinta county. and decreas-
ing the representation of Converse. Ma.
trona, Big Horn, Crook and Weston
counties. had Just been passed. Sena.
tor John Williams of Converse county
arose and made a fiery speech, In
which he asserted that he considered
the members of Laramie and Albany
county delegations in the Senate dis
honest and the delegations dishonora.
BILE. Great excitement followed the
speech. and Senator P. s. Cook of Lar
annie county moved that the sergeant
alarms be instructed to bring Senator
Williams before the bar of the Senate
to apologize for his remarks. The mo.
ton carried and the sergeant-at-arms
advanced upon Williams, whereupon
the senator, raging like a lion, spraE.
to the front of the chamber. and, in
voice of thunder. shouted:
Il will not apologize to this body or
to any body on earth, or to any man on
EARTH" and he glared at Cook, who did
not respond. Senator Schwoob has
tily moved that the Senate go into re-
cess for fifteen minutes and the motion
was carried. During the interval an
EFFORT to make Williams apologize was
made. but he became more violent.
When the Senate reconvened Senator
Sullivan of Natrona county arose and
Endorsed the remarks of Williams.
Cook then withdrew his motion, had
.the record of the proceedings ex
plunged and so the matter rested. h.,
the Senate insisted upon an apology
from Williams 1t is entirely probable
that disastrous rough house would
have been the result.
