pense. l am sorry that l have not
been taken into their confidence
enough to be able to state to the gen.
tleman from Lincoln the contents Of
the proposed bill.

some two or three members of the
mounted police force are now and
have always been in the outlying por-
tons of this territory, and have
brought and are bringing criminals
to justice. however, the expense is
too great for the small good done by
these members and faithful officers,
who are so much in the minority"
Mr.. Mullins spoke favoring the
maintaining of the force.

the bill was then put and the bill
passed, the vote being 13 ayes and 10
