PROVISION is MANDATORY.
Contingent Fund Must Be Provided
for County Attorneys.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Attorney General L. /. Young has Civ
en- an opinion that the provision of the
law authorizing contingent funds for the
use Of county attorneys i'll the investiga-
ton ana trial OF criminal cases, is a
mandatory provision and not directory.
The opinion was given at the request
of \. +. Glover, county attorney of Cot
tonwood county. The county commits
sioners had failed to provide contin-
cent fund for the county attorney. The
attorney general holds that the legis-
Ilature deemed it wise for a county to ex-
|ncnd money! in the investigation and
|nrepalation Of criminal cases rather than
TO have justice miscarry Or to have I'M
iiistifiabIe eases in court. The law, the
attorney general says, is mandatory in
It's provisions and the county eommis-
sioners of Cottonwood county should
have set aside not less than 800, nor
more tl.an $1,000, as q contingent fund
for the prosecuting attorney. The law
construed is chapter 2o., General Laws
|of 1903

HAS MORE SALARY COMING
Attorney General Renders an Opinion
Regarding Auditors Salary.


Regarding Auditors Salary.
From Thursdays Daily.
Several county auditors of Minnesota
have not drawn from the county treas
ury all the salary due them during The
last three years, according to an opinion
given yesterday by Attorney General
i. Z. Young on application of II. Z. Bull
lis, county attorney OF lsaribault coan-
ty.
Counties which are not governed by
special laws pay The county auditor a
salary based upon mill tax levy on
every dollar Of taxable property The
law was PASSED in 1901 and question
arose over the Interpretation Of the term
'.tazable property"
County auditors were IN doubt
whether salaries should be based on the
value of the property as fixed BY The
state board Of equalization or upon the
salfe of the taxable property in a coun-
t. less The legal exemptions,
The attorney general held Yesterday
that the salaries Of county auditors reg
ulatcd in this manner should be based
upon The value OF the property as fixed
by Tie state board Of equalization. The
exemptions cut down the tax rolls to 4
great extent and the ruling makes a
considerable Increase in the salary Of
the county auditors.
The attorney general has been inform
Cd that counties are employing both
methods in computing the salary of au-
ditors. Some are basing them Gu tic
amount of taxable property as returned
b. the state board, and others on the
returns of the state board minus The
exemptions.
The county auditor Of Faribault coun-
ty, in whose behalf the request for al
opinion was made, Will receive an IN.
crease Of $1,000 IN his yearly salary
Under the opinion there gre many coun.
~ auditors in the state who can collect
thousands of dollars OF back pay from
their counties Some county auditors
viii undoubtedly sue for back pay ant

IRE IN ST. CLOUD NORMAL.
Building Quilted and Loss to the State
Is Considerable.

from Tuesdays daily.
Fire which broke out in Lawrence
hall, the girls dormitory at the st.
glcud normal school, Saturday after
noon, completely destroyed the building
lndrendered 10 young women students
of the school homeless The building Is
entirely Quilted and the fire department
could do nothing against the flames.
which, famed by stiff wind, threatened
for a time the entire normal school.
John Donken, a member OF the volun-
teer fire department, broke leg in
jumping from the roof of the porch to
escape the falling cornice. He and three
companions were holding hose on the
roof when without warning fifty feet of
metal cornicework crashed down upon
them. When Donken jumped his three
companions threw themselves face down
burning cornice, but escaped serious in
jury.
The fire broke out about 4:3O, and
NEST cf the girls were in their rooms
,etting ready fer supper. The fire
started in the aetic, caused probably by
defective electric wiring, as there was
net heavy fire in the heating plant.
The loss on the building is about $685.
Ga9. and the insurance is $4,000, with
s2, 900 on the contents. The loss on con-
tents is about $1,000. A new heating
plant was recently installed at cost
lof $4,000 Nest Of the girls lost every
thing they had IN their rooms. A few
managed to save their clothing, and on
the campus were little groups Of young
women around trunks, bureau drawers
and piles OF clothing. The girls room and
board in Lawrence hall and are practical
IL homeless. Most of them are from out
Of the city, and the people of St Cloud
opened their homes and took them in.
All are well cared for.
Despite tie fact that there were
probably LOO girls in the building at
the time the fire broke out not one was
injured, which is considered marvellous.
st. Cloud, Jan. l5.-Not one of the l50
girls of Lawrence Hall of the ST. Cloud
3
normal school, which was destroyed by
fire Saturday evening, was injured in the
slightest degree, and all have been To-
eatel in the best homes of the city,
which were thrown open with character
istic hospitality.
81 will be provided with good board
ing places and the school viii open Mon
day morning as usual and the work viii
not be interrupted. There is no occas-
len for alarm or apprehension by Iar-
cnts or friends of the girls.
\ meeting of business men will be
held Monday morning to provide ways
and means to make good as far as pos
sible the losses sustained by the young
women. While approaching the offer OF
ncighboring towns to assist st. Cloud
will render all necessary and immediate
assistance.
