L. P. Williams; recorder, C. A. Root; assessor, Ed. J. Kay; super- intendent of schools, Mrs. Minnie R. O'Neil; treasurer, M. J. Curtis; district attorney, E. S. Wachhorst; coroner, W. F.

County Clerk Hamilton died in the spring of 1911, and the board of supervisors elected Ed. F. Pfund, who had for many years been his deputy and was thoroughly conversant with the affairs of the office, to fill out the unexpired term. The appointment of Mr. Pfund gave universal satisfaction, both to the bar and the people, as his perennial courtesy and painstaking performance of his duties had gained him a host of friends.
No man in the county was more universally liked and respected than "Billy" Hamilton, as he was always called. Genial and affable, he was the friend of all, and all were his friends. As was once said of him, "Billy Hamilton is the same man the week after election that he was a week before he was elected." An ardent hunter and fisherman, he had a fund of sporting and other anecdotes, and was so happy in his methods as a raconteur that the most astounding ex- periences issuing from his lips took on the appearance of verity. His death was mourned by a host of friends. It was said of him that he never forgot a face, and could call every resident of the county by name,-a most valuable accomplishment for a politician. Peace to his manes. "We ne'er shall look upon his like again."
