TO REMOVE ANDERSON
AS ADMINISTRATOR
Deposed Superintendent County
Infirmary Will Likely Have
to Surrender Trust.

Emmanuel H, Fisher died January g.
1909, aged 80. at the county inflrmary
He left an estate consisting OF savings
deposit OF $3.50. upon which there was
accrued interest amounting to Si2.55. and
In addition there was $40 in his clothes
Under date OF November Is, 1909. the
county commissioners recommended that
c. V. Anderson. then superintendent OF
the infirInary. apply for letters OF ad-
minlstration on this estate on behalf OF
the county. which claimed the moneys
for his maintenance. The court so or
dered and the probate OF the estate has
dragged along and is still unsettled.
C. V. Anderson is no longer the SUI
perintendenI Of the county inflrmary. for
reasons that were SO good and sufficient
that the county commissioners dis
charged him suddenly on November 2S
last. He skipped the country, was ar
rested in Canada, brought back to Salt
Lake, and Is now under bond. The
moneys in the bank have been held
safely in the hands Of JOB Lyon. the
county attorney. The S470 has not been
80 far accounted for and in the inter-
est of the county some action likely will
be taken TO remove Anderson as admin
istrator OF the estate.
