the county was formed the first warden was a fergus man i would suggest that there might be another reason twentyfive years ago the newsrecord carried on a feud with the county council i was the editor at the time and i went after the county council pretty hard investigating its finan ces and other details i claimed they spent more urns playing euchre than they did in the public business i even bought a tiny silver cup and had it inscribed euchre championship county council the late james beartle county clerk at that time re turned it with a nippy note i even claimed that more of the county business was done in hotel rooms at night often over a bottle than in the open sessions there wasnt really any connection but the members got so mad at fergus that they wouldnt have thought of electing a fergus man as warden unless conditions have changed it takes three or four years to get elected warden no body expects it on the first try trom hugh templins mostly gossip column in the
