Yet Cowboys Are Rarely Killed or Injured in Accidents. Now, after the day’s work was prac tloally over, we had our first accident, nays a writer In Outing Magazine. The horse ridden by a young fellow from Dos Cabesas slipped, fell and roll' d quite over bis rider. At otice the an imal lunged to his feet, only to b»‘ im mediately seized by the nearest rider. Hut the Dos Cabesas man lay still, bis arms and legs spread abioud. his head doubled sideways In a nordblv suggestive manner. We hopped off. Two men straightened him out, while two more looked carefully ovr the in dications on the ground. "All right." sang out one of these, ' the horn didn't catch him.” lie pointed to the indentation left by the pommel. Indeed, five minim s brought the man to his senses, lie complained of a very twisted bark Homer sent one of the men in after the bed-wagon, by means of which the sufferer was shortly transported to camp. Ry the end of the week he was agnin in the saddle How iien escape from this common accident with Injuries so slight has always puz zled me. The horse rolls completely over his rider, and yet it seems to be the rarest thing In the world for the latter to be ei’iter killed or permanent ly injured. Practical.

V\\ Va . Peb. S More 1 ban a w-Jek of the extra session lias passed and while tlie legislature has not been idle fe ,v of the impor'ant measures have been talon up on the floor. la the important m asures, Hindi as the county salary bills and the mining hills the respective com mittees have had their share of work. The public have Utile idea of * he amount of work committees have when they are handed a dozen or more different bills on the same subject and from them endeavor to Ret a measure that will stand the test on the floor of either branch. This condition is true of both of these subjects, and in addition is a demand from many representative authorities on mining that the state in*1 ds little or no additional mining legislation; that our present law is broader in its scope than the laws of any other state of the Union or that of any foreign country, and point to tin* fact that the mining de partment of West Virginia ran close a mine whenever it is found to b«* operated in violation of law, and that llie mine cannot he again operated until a court ha sdecided that it enu resume operation. This has rere— eiice to section 1G of Ui I p.V»gent minin glaws. lip to the present time neither branch has discussed tlieso matters on the floor and it may l,e some days before tills opportunity is offer d. The constitutional amendment to submit to the people the right to vote of the liquor question is on Us journey and lias already overcome the first barrier, having passed tit * house by n vote of 07 to 12, a much larger majority than had been pre dicted iby most observers. It required a two-thirds of the house to pass, but the senate lias yet to deal with the matter, and in that branch those opposed to state wide prohibition ex pect to see the resolution defeated. It will be necessary to muster elev en senators against the resolution to defeat it. that being sufficient to pre vent a two-thirds of the upper house being for it. It is freely conceded that in the event the constitutional amendment is submitted to the peo ple at the next .general election it will carry. The county salary bill is another question that is going to find bitter foes on the floor o fboth branches. Probably all of the larger counties are against the proposed bill to put th • sheriff and clerks of the county and circuit courts on a salary basis, where it is held that the salary will not be large enough to ensure the election of competent men, or rather would prevent men competent to handle such offices from becoming candidates and that the same effi ciency in service will not bo had un der a salary system. Arms full of bills have been bamb-d the commit tees on fbis subject alone and up to the present time the committees have not been able to com • to any agreement as to what kind of a bill they will report to the respective bodies. De'egate Nugent, who, until h" took his seat in the house at the last regular session, was president of the United Mine Workers* in this state, is opposed to a lot of amendments to the present mining laws and points to the present laws, with a very few slight amendments, as the best in ex istence at this time in any state of th** Union. He believes that a rigid enforcement of tin* laws will bring about the result the public is clam oring for and invites those who may not think so to read the laws care fully. especially section 16. The attache bill In the senate, which is supposed to have been writ ten by Clerk John T. Harris, has not received the easy sledding many bad predicted and when it earn > up In the senate and the senators got busy the original bill was soon torn into threads and amendment after amendment and in less than an hour there was practically nothing except the title and number to show that it was the bill as originally drafted by the senate's clerk Politics had something to do with It and if was not altogether party politics. The Bona'" is still dealing with the sub Ject and If if ever leaves tin* hefiate the house will send It to the scrap heap In a hurry.
