period of several weeks the assembly
finally ordered to engrossment yester
day morning the Hughes bill including
quack or twitch grass among the nox
ious weeds which farmers are direct
ed to destroy.
AS on previous occasions when the
bill has been before the house a spir
tied debate ensued over the bill. AS
semblymen Hughes, Bichler, Kull
Reynolds, Daub and Mains participat
ing in the discussion. The vote by
which the bill was advanced was eX
ceedingly close, the results, however
not being announced.
Mr.. Ingram objected to cOnsidera
ton of the Stack bill prohibiting tres
passing on railroad property. In its
present form, he said, the bill makes
it an offense for a man to step upon
a right of way for the purpose OF
boarding a train after he has pur
chased a ticket. Mr.. Stack submitted
an amendment modifying the bill and
the measure was then rereferred to
the committee on judiciary for further
consideration.
Without opposition the assembly
concurred in the senate bill appropri-
ating $500 to defray the last ex-
penses of the joint senatorial inves-
LEGATION, which failed to pass Thurs
day owing to the small attendance.
