FAILS TO COLLECT SALARY
Red Wing Jurist Leaves $4,000 In
States keepinu.

The Minnesota state treasury is
considered safe place to keep money
by Judge w. G.. Williston of Red
Wing, district Judge for the First ju-
dicial district
Judge Williston's salary is $4,000,
but he has drawn no money from the
state since early in 1905. The state
auditors books show $14,035O6 now
to his credit and it is growing at the
rate of $3.50 a month. The Judge is
well along in years and in good shape
financially and seems willing to make
the state treasury savings bank,
though it pays him no interest.
State officials generally draw their
salaries once or twice month and
there are few exceptions to that rule.

DEPOT DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Flames Consume Union Station IN
Louisville, Ky.

Louisville, KY, March 1S.-By
the destruction here tonight at a loss
of $4,000 900 of the union depot, the
local terminal for five Of the coun-
try's leading railroads, Louisville
will probably benefit by a new union
station.
Crossed wires in the attic OF the
big structuer, which was erected by
the Illinois Central in 1890, caused
the blaze, which made an empty
shell of the depot before the entire
fire department of the city, which
was called, had arrived. W. 6.
Roach, chief clerk to Superintendent
Egan of the Illinois Central, fell
through a skylight. All other oc-
cupants escaped unframed.
Using the depot were the ILLINOIS
Central, the Big Four, the Southern
the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern
and the Chesapeake & Ohio.
The rescue of a woman telephone
operator from the fifth story by hre-
men and the great height to winch
the flames rose made the fire unusu-
ally spectacular.

flowing freely. Other jurors furi-

Besides himself, he produced more

. The evidence against him consist
ed chiefly Of his acquaintance with
Mrs. Thompson, when she was a serv-
ant in his fathers house, the fact
that he wore a cap similar to the
one which Mrs. Hamilton, keeper Of
the rooming house, said was worn
by the man who accompanied Mrs.
