GRANT COUNTY CASE BY STATE OFFICIAL Attorney General Would Quash Mandamus Proceedings Brought By Martell Briefs have been filed by Attorney General James Morris for the state in Burleigh county district court in ‘the mandamus proceedings brought by Theodore Martell, Grant county agent, to collect back salary from the extension division of the state agri- cultural college. + He seeks to collect $500 which he alleges is due him for services from August to December, 1930. The state asks the mandamus pro- ceedings be quashed on the ground the application for the writ did not set forth sufficient facts to consti- tute grounds for a writ of mandamus. A show cause order was issued by Judge Fred Jansonius, and following arguments in the action further briefs were filed. Judge Jansonius has taken the case under advisement. The state contends that in July, 1931, the extension division of the agricultural college and the Grant county board of commissioners held a, hearing to consider charges of mis- conduct, negligence and inefficiency against Martell. The state alleges that the county commissioners con- curred in the action of the extension. division, which ordered the removal of the county agent. The county commissioners, however, continued to pay Martell the county's share of his salary. The state claims Martell “has never been reinstated or reemployed as) county agent by the joint action of the board of county commissioners and the extension division.” C. Liebert Crum, state's attorney of Grant county, representing Martell, states in his brief that no joint ac- tion was taken to dismiss Martell, and that no evidence was presented as to the alleged misconduct, inef- ficiency or negligence of the coun- ty agent. No opportunity, he con- tends, was given Martell to controv- ert such charges, Seed Loan Groups In McLean Chosen Washburn, N. D., March 7.—Seed.
