1t is seldom that state warrant remains
unpaid for any length of time, says the Sa-
lem Statesman. and the appearance at the |
office of the state treasurer yesterday of one |
which had been issued ten years ago, when |
Hon. Edw. Hrrsch was treasurer and the |
late Rocky P. Earhart occupied the office of |
secretary of state, was something unusual |
When the administrator of the estate of the |
late Judge c. N. Thornhury. of The Dalles,
was looking over some of the Judges private
papers he discovered warrant for $ll.75, |
bearing date of September. 1888, and i'm
wrote here to learn if it was good
;or that amount of cash. 1t was. and the
sll.75 is now en- route to The Dalles. An
,ther warrant issued In favor of E. l..
Smith about the same time, has been found
Ince among Judge Thornbury's effects and
