A bill was defeated in the House
yesterday which required all appli

The bill proposing the abolition of
capital punishment was defeated Wed

The State-wide |{ame bill has been
defeated, this time for good, so fa'
as this sesiiioii of the legislature is
concerned. It seemed to be the feel
ing of many legislators that it was a
"sportsman's" bill, one that would
{five them a good opportunity to hun'

small tax. Under the bill it was u»
lawful to kill bear except at certain
convenient seasons for sportsmen. The
farmer would not be permitted to shoot
even though the bear was carrying
