Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Jun. 15, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted Jun. 15, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News June 15, 1915 ARANT'S EFFORTS TO OUST STEEL END IN FAILURE W.F. Arant's efforts to oust Will G. Steel as superintendent of Crater Lake park and reinstate himself have resulted in failure. Arant, who was former superintendent, was removed for cause by Secretary Franklin K. Lane two years ago, and refused to vacate the office. It took the United States marshal and a score of deputies to eject him. Arant claimed that his office came under civil service rules, and since then has regularly demanded his pay as superintendent and brought suit for reinstatement and pay back. Justice Stafford, of the district of Colombia supreme court, Saturday passed upon the case. The court finds that Arant was not within the classified Civil Service, not having been appointed after examination, but being a personal appointee of the Secretary of the Interior, and therefore subject to removal at the will of the secretary. Justice Stafford, who ruled against Arant, is the same judge before whom Binger Hermann was tried on the charge of destroying his letter books when retiring from office of Land Commissioner, and H.P. Gately, Arant's attorney, is Hermann's son-in-law. Gately gave notice of appeal. Arant Camp in the Crater Lake National Park, named after former Superintndent Arant of Klamath Falls, has been officially changed by the department of the interior to Anne Springs, and will be so designated. This is the last link that connected the Klamath Falls man. MRS. PIERCE ASKS $2,500 FOR INJURY Mrs. C.H. Pierce, who sustained a broken leg last spring when she fell over the raise in THE sidewalk in front of the Nichols & Ashpole meat market, will file a claim for $2,500 against the city at the regular meeting of the council tonight. O.C. Boggs is acting as attorney for Mrs. Pierce. The only action taken this evening will be the formal filing of the claim, with a statement of facts. The walk has since been repaired.
