Helena, March 1.-The Fifteenth
Legislative assembly will end its
session tonight. Chances are that
there will be the usual horseplay
on the part Of members, who, more
or less dignified at ordinary times,
relax as the session closes. At
least there will be less for the two
houses to do while waiting for the
enrolment OF belated bills. A
great amount of legislation has
fallen by the way because of the
