SLOW IN GETTING MONEY.
State Warrant Issued in 1895 Just
Presented for Payment.

"A warrant for 81, 200 issued by State
Auditor Cole in 1895 found it's way to
the state treasury today for the first
time since it was countersigned by
Treasurer AthertOn.
The warrant was worn and tattered.
It had evidently been carried in a
pocket for a long time as the name of
the auditor had been almost obliterated
and some of the writing on the face of
the warrant was unintelligible. 1t was
made in favor of A. c. Gallagher who
was mine inspector under Governor
Morrill, but the warrant does not state
for what purpose. The records show
that the item was included in the mis-
ceIlaneous appropriation bill and As
sistant Treasurer Williams found the
warrant to be all right and it was paid.
