depots, about $1S5, 900 more The CON-
any spent 5000 for lots back Of

The measure introduced by MT. Kerwn of Jeffersin providing for the penitentiary sentence for violators of the pistol carrying law has met with much favor among House memb ars. Many members believe that this IS one of the principal occasions for crime, and it is almost certain that even more severe measures than those passed by the last legislature will be adopted The last General Assemb- ly simplified the law against carrying concealed weapons by knocking out the army and navy model" fealura It also appears that MT.
