strong, who was made defendant on
the 18th of last August In n $4,000
damage suit. brought by ex-Deputy
Sheriff Ed Davies. filed an answer In
the Third district court today. denying
each and every allegation of Davies's
complaint, and making charges OF in
competency on the part of the ex-oiii-
Ger.
Davies, 1t win be remembered, was
appointed deputy under Sheriff Lewis,
when the present county administra-
ton took hold, and last July was dis
missed from service by the board OF
county commissioners. Later he nied
a suit against Commissioner Arm
strong demanding damages In the sum
of $4,000. alleging that his reputation
and standing in the community haa
been injured by reason of defendants
talking about him to various persons
and alleging to them that he was
lacking in the qualifications to perform
his duties.
Mr.. Armstrong in his answer denies
each and every allegation OF the conf
plant and further answering alleges
that as a member OF the boaIu VI eoun
~ commissioners II was his duty 10
supervise and watch over the per
Torrance OF the duties of the deputy
sheriffs, From observation ana m
formation, Mr.. Armstrong says, he be-
lieyed that Davies was not competent

persons had given notice that they did
not want Davies to perform the duties
of a deputy sheriff. Mr.. Armstrong
further says that he communicates
these facts to the rest of the board with
the result that a majority of 1t decided
to dispense with Davies's services.
