ISO FORT LAUDERDALE NEWS, Feb. 4, 1970 llC Illinois Indicts Tampa Man A 'BalV On Country Lane Road Dispute Becomes 'Open And Shut' Case manager prior to my association with Anheuser-Busch." Rust joined Anheuser-Busch In June to manage the Tampa tourist attraction. He resigned from the State Fair the same month. Rust said he would be returning to Springfield, HL, because a grand jury had "returned a number of indictments stemming from the operation of the Illinois State Fair of which I served as TAMPA.

Rust, general manager of Busch Gardens, resigned yesterday citing an expected long absence from his job because of an indictment brought against him by an Illinois grand jury. if iff der He couldn't tell me what for, so we went to the judge."

But residents say the dirt road still is heavily traveled. The two men drove to Craw- "Half the people in the Mil jjj HAS SI .5 tin 3 WAKULLA SPRINGS, Fla. Iff) "He's Mowed his commission." That's what Ed Ball employe Frank Fagan, commissioned a deputy, did when he arrested Sam Smith, according to County Commissioner Sam Smith. It came this week in a small-down tug-of-war over a dirt road. Wakulla County Commissioner Smith claims the old Arran-Wakulla Station Road is a county road heavily traveled by his constituents and he wants it kept open.

Fagan, the area boss for Jacksonville millionaire Ball, claims it is on Ball's property and his boss wants it closed because passersby dump garbage on its shoulder and poach animals on the Ball property which is adjacent to the road. TRIPLE ENCOUNTER In recent days, Fagan has closed a one-mile portion of the seven-mile-long road three times. And Smith has opened it three times. Smith wai following along behind county workers Monday as they bulldozed aside tall pines Pagan's men had chopped dovn across the road. At the end of the road was Fagan, about 50, a short, bull-necked man with a red face, said Smith.

"I drove through behind the county road crew and got out and spoke to him," said Smith. i "He said, 'Sam, you're un I- 5 (AP Wlreptwto) COMMISSIONER SMITH ON DIRT ROAD he opened it Monday, Ball closed it yesterday NAL Strike Talks fordville and met with County Judge George Harper. Wakulla Sheriff W. R. Taff said the judge ordered Smith charged with trespassing by destroying property.

The destroyed property was the fallen trees the county men had bulldozed to the side of the road, according to the warrant. Smith, a tall, lanky peanut farmer, was released by Taff on his own recognizance. No court date was set. The sheriff said the whole thing was embarrassing to him. Fagan was deputized by Taff in 1963 after he complained of needing power to cope with troublemakers around the Ball property, said Taff.

His deputy commission was signed by each of the five commissioners, including Smith. Smith said the commission would be revoked. ALTERNATE ROUTE Fagan is manager of the Wakulla-Silver Springs a Ball-owned firm which holds his property in the area. Ball is a Jacksonville financier, head of the duPont interests in Florida, and one of Florida's largest landowners. He controls the St.

Joe Paper Co. The disputed road once was the only direct route between Arran, a community northwest of Crawfordville, and county use it one time or another," said junkyard operator Charles Joiner, a neighbor of Smith's on the disputed road. "Most of the farmers in these parts, loggers, half the people who work at Wakulla Springs," he said. ROAD RECLOSED Even though it is dirt, the road is one of the main east-west thoroughfares in the sparsely populated county south of Tallahassee, said Joiner. Fagan had nothing more to say yesterday.

He said earlier the road was closed at Ball's specific directions. The portion Fagan closed off extends one mile west from State Road 61. It goes on about six miles beyond that portion to SR 369 on the extreme west. After Fagan arrested Smith, his men undid the work the county crew had accomplished by rolling the logs back across the road. Not to be deterred, Smith, 57, ordered four county workers and a bulldozer into action again yesterday to clear the road.

Fagan indicated he would not retaliate in kind, but instead said without further elaboration "We're taking steps." CEPAC0L Antibacterial Gargle $1.19 14-ox.
