"The people 1 of this country have
been wonderfully kind to me since I
have been on the bench," Judge Gatens
said. There are many friends I wish
could thank personally, but there is
not time for that, and I must thank
them all in this -way. I am aware of
the great honor which has been con
ferred upon me several times when I
was reelected even though a member
of a minority party. ; The' strain of
these last two years has been terrific,
and it is with a feeling of some relief
that I return to private life, although,
let me say, I. am. leaving the! bench
with no Tegreia. ; - ' '

always he open Just asfaas been -the
door to my chambers here, I will al
ways welcome any visitors. As a cir
cuit Judge, then. I say farewell to all
supplicants, this is scene five, act five.

Woman Died
Walla. Walla, Wash Dec "20. Fur
ther Investigation by Coroner Joe
Chamberlain of the ruins of the home
of Mrs. Magdalene Walsh, which was
destroyed by fire Saturday night, re
sulted in the discovery of $500 In gold
in a partly burned dress in" a clothes
closet. This accounts for: 95 of "the
$2000 which was , said to ., have . been
kept by Mrs. Walsh on her premises.
Mrs. Ed Brown of Seattle, -daughter
of Mrs. Yalzk. believes that there was
no foul play connected with the burn
ing of the house. The theory which
officers have developed Is that : Mrs.
Walsh went to sleep while sitting near
her stove In which she had built a hot
fire, that the house caught fire as a
result of the overheated stove and that
Mrs. Walsh - was overcome by the
smoke , In endeavoring-.. to get to the
door near which she was found by the
firemen.'. - r
