AS TO GATES JOHNSON
COUNTY ATTORNEY KANE GIVES
HIS OPINION OF THE CASE.

1 he board of county commissioners met
yesterday morning and considered a
number of routine matters County At
torney Kane notified the board of the
decision Of Judge Lewis in the case OF
Gates johnson against the board of coun-
ty commissioners, to compel them to pay
bill for team hire while he was county
surveyor, and stated to the board that

plication Of Sheriff Justus for an extra

The resolution making provision for a
special attorney to collect the delinquent
taxes was killed, the county attorney
reporting that the law made no pro-
vision for a special attorney in collect
ing these taxes.
Some time ago application was made
by John Moak asking that the Chiffon
children and Clarence Culverwell be
provided for at the state school, and stat
ing that the Chiffon children were in dire
distress. Yesterday communication

GENERAL CORSER is IN NO
GREAT HURRY TO
RETIRE

If New Surveyor General Wants to
Assume His Duties Before April,
He Must "ShOw'' Present
Incumbent.

Gen. F.. s. Corser intends to take ad-
vantage Of the law to its fullest extent
as it relates TO him in the position of
surveyor general of logs and lumber at
Minneapolis. The general believes that
he is the lawful incumbent of that DO
sition until the third Monday in April.
and any one who tries to put him out
before that time will have to SHOW
him. since he halls directly from the
Ozarks.
A. B. Robbins, of Minneapolis, it will
Se remembered, has been appointed to
the position by Gov. Van SAINT, but the
law does not seem to be very convincing
In the new mans favor and it appears
that he viii have to bide the time of his
predecessor.
Mr.. Corser says upon the subject:
rs is to the interest of the public to
have the matter tested. If the term of
Office properly expires in January, it
should be determined and I should like
to see it done. The question came I'D
two years ago, and though the attorney
general ruled that 1 could take office
as soon as I was appointed, I had other
~ . authority to the contrary and did
no. Tempt to get possession until April
You may say that L will continue in
office, and will receive the fees. until
the end of the winter season. which is
the statutory end of my term Ii Mr.
Robbins wishes to assume the expense OF
court proceedings to GUST me. well and
good but he will not be able to get a
decision from the supreme court until
after my term of Office has expired. 1
have been to all the expense of sending
out men for the winters work, and I
shall receive the fees until that work is
closed
In assuming this stand, Mr.. Corser is
only pursuing the course of his prede-
cessor, s. S. Brown, who neld the office
until the corresponding date two years
ago.
