BIRD AND SARNIGHAUSEN CONTEST.
Mr. NEFF, from the Committee on Claims, returned the claim of John Sarnighausen of $191 for expenses incurred in the contest of his seat last session.
Mr. BROWN moved to add a provision allowing the same amount to the contesteem Ochmig Bird.
Mr. NEFF said there was no claim filed by Senator Bird. The committee simply allowed the actual cash outlay to Senator Sarnighausen. If Mr. Bird's expenses were the same Mr. N. would not object.
Mr. BROWN knew Mr. Bird's expenses to be more than the sum named. He modified his motion, so that the report may be recommitted with instructions to include an appropriation in favor of Mr. Bird, which motion was agreed to.
