CATHCART THROWS DOWN
GAUGE.
A communication from the County
Attorney was read, notifying the
Board that he had appointed Fred w
Milverton as his deputy.
Lest there be any misunderstand-
ing l wish to inform the Board that
since the first day of January 1 have
refused to recognize Mr. Olson as my
deputy" said Cathcart, after once
stating that he did not wish to say
anything.
well, Mr.. Cathcart, the Board has
already taken up this matter and re-
fuses to recognize your dismissal of
Mr. Olson. He is still the deputy"
said Hustace.
Il only wanted to say that 1 do not
recognize Mr.. Olson, that is all Your
opinion of law and mine I know are
different. 1 don't want to have any
argument about it," Cathcart thought
this would settle the matter and it
did for a few minutes until Harvey
read the law on the subject and want
ed to know what the Board was going
to do about it.
Hustace explained that the matter
was settled by Mr.. OIsons retention in
office. This Board has refused to
recognize the new deputy, therefore
Mr.. MilvertOn does not exist
Cathcart objected to any reference
-
was a regular resignation. He review
ed his connection with Olson, whose
connection with Holmes & Stanley did
not permit of his. appearance in court.
Now he wanted a court man to assist
in the prosecution of cases in the Cir
cult Court, work Olson could not now
do. He could now secure Milverton's
services, an experienced man. Only
pleasant relations existed between him
and Olson, who had voluntarily re-
signed. He was surprised that Olson
had not stated all the circumstances
to the Board. He wanted man who
could devote the majority of his time
to county work. He appealed to Olson
to substantiate what he had said.
Olson failed to substantiate all of
it, however, and gave his side of the
case, repeating that his resignation
had been requested, "other circUm-
stances" than that of court work be-
ing referred to as reasons why the
resignation had been asked for.
Cathcart then appealed to Olson "as
a lawyer" and a few points of law
We're discussed.
Hustace stated that the Attorney
General would soon assist in the pros
ecution of penal cases.
Both lawyers thene told how very
hard they were working for their
salaries, while Cathcart repeated that
he wanted a deputy who would be in
his own office, thinking that he was
entitled to it. He limited at a court
trial of the matter if this be denied
him.
Hustace thought that as Cathcart
had got along with Olson for a year
and was now to get assistance as well
from the Attorney General there was
no good reason for upsetting the
plans of the Board LAS a matter of
fact We have great confidence in Mr.
Olson and want to keep him as our
adviser"
well, I have no objection if you
want to retain him as special legal
adviser" said CathcaTt, and the mat
ter dropped there for the present.
SOME PILIKIA AT EVA.
Hustace called to the attention of
the Board the fact that there was
trouble of some kind with the road
Iaborers at Eva. He named Dwight
and Archer as a committee to fnvesti-
gate and go to the bottom of the mat
ter.
If there is anything wrong let US
find it out and put it right. We don't
want to have any monkey business in |
any of the departments" he con-
Guided.
