Close Fight Looked for Does Not
Develop, Although the De-
bate Is Warm.

The House Of Representatives by
vote of 1856 to 81 to-day unseated
Representatives Macarthur Of Wheel
er. and Browning, Of Bleckley.
The two were named in special
elections to represent their two newly
created counties. A special commit
tee declared they were unCOnstitu-
tionally elected, and could not be seat
ed without endangering the entire
proceedings Of the General Assembly.
The members under FIRE made brave
night TO hold on to their seats and for
a time it looked as II there was a
fair chance that the House might re-
tain them.
The acts creating Wheeler and
Bleckley ran the total membership OF
the House to 1856. The Constitution
says II must not exceed 1874. This
together with the Illegal manner OF
MCArthur's and Browning's elections
turned the scale against them.

Browning was the first big fireworks

began to shoot. So excited was he
that the first shot went into the
ceiling. The second made a hole IN
the wall back of Mattox, and the third
went through a law book on the
table under which Mattox, by this
! time, was hiding. Deputy Woodward
and others grabbed Green and pre-
vented his firing other snots. They
hurried him to Jail.
