J. S. BEARD.
J. S. Beard is a native of Northumberland county, Pennsylvania, and the eldest son of a family of five sons and three daughters. His father, James Beard, was born in Clark county, Ohio, and his mother,- Susan M. Gehrig,-in Berks county, Pennsylvania. His boyhood days were passed amid the scenes and busy life of the beautiful valley of the Susquehanna. He received the education afforded by the common schools and private academies of that locality. In 1853 he became a member of a corps of civil engi- neers, and for about two years was employed, under Hon. Kimber Clever, on the survey and construction of the Shamokin Valley railroad. He quit this employment to accept a deputyship under his father, who then held the office of prothonotary of North- umberland county. During the time he was em- ployed in this office he studied law, and was admit- ted to the bar in April, 1857. For a short time he practiced law in his native county and adjoining districts, then bade adieu to kindred, friends, and home, and started westward. Once on the wing, he did not find a permanent resting place until the shores of the Pacific were reached. He arrived in California in 1859, and, being then young, hopeful and ambitious at once sought the fortune which he supposed awaited him. Failing to secure a satisfac- tory business in the practice of law, he shelved his books and went to work as "an honest miner." After much tramping, toil, and disappointment, he abandoned mining for other pursuits. In 1864 Mr. Beard re-engaged in the practice of his profession, at Yreka, and for a year was associated in business with L. M. Ketcham, now deceased. The business of this place was not sufficient to support the army of attorneys then engaged in practice, hence the subject of our sketch again quit the law, and became
connected with our common schools as teacher, and thereafter taught school in the Humbug, Hawkins- ville, Union, and Etna districts. In 1872 he opened a law office in Etna, where he is now permanently located, and well established in business. July 12, 1874, he married Miss Annie Webster Ackley, eldest daughter of Hosea and Nancy Ackley, who came to Scott valley in 1864, from East Rumford, Maine. The issue of this marriage has been four children, two boys and two girls, three of whom, Annie Ack- ley, John Augustus, and James Gehrig, are now liv- ing. In early manhood he espoused the principles of the Democratic party, but in 1864, becoming dissat- isfied with the course and policy of that party, went over to the ranks of the Republicans, and took the stump in advocacy of the election of their nominee for the presidency. And since then he has with his voice and pen supported and advocated Republican principles. For many years he has been identified with, and labored for the advancement of the public schools of the county, and is now president of the County Board of Education. In 1857 he was initi- ated into the mysteries and beauties of Odd Fellow- ship, and is one of the charter members of Etna Lodge, No. 184, Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He is also a charter member of Etna Lodge No. 177, Ancient Order of United Workmen. He is most public spirited, and every movement made in the interest of the people, or to benefit the masses, receives his hearty support. He has been identified with every enterprise of a public, or quasi public character undertaken or accomplished in Etna and vicinity since he has made that place his home. He loves the quiet of home life, and finds delight in the society and companionship of his family and friends, and as a lawyer, a man, and a citizen, com- mands the confidence and respect of all classes.

HISTORY OF SISKIYOU COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
a dozen gentlemen occupied the- position. The duties of this court at first were chiefly to adminis- ter the affairs of the county, a function now dis- charged by a board of supervisors. In 1851 a radi- cal change was made in the powers of this court by conferring upon it the criminal jurisdiction previ- ously exercised by the District Court. It hal the power to inquire into all criminal offenses by means of a grand jury, and to try all indictments found by that body, save those for murder, manslaughter, and arson, which were certified to the District Court. In 1855 the Legislature created boards of supervisors in the various counties, leaving to the Court of Ses- sions only its criminal jurisdiction. In 1863 the court was abolished and its powers were conferred upon the County Court.
The following transcripts from the record of this court show its beginning and end :-

Martin, Henry Bowman, Hugh Slieer, George E. Briggs and W. S. Mendenhall. There were twenty- four gentlemen summoned, but John F. Farmer was excused, there being one too many. Two indict- ments for grand larceny were presented by this body.
SUPERIOR COURT.
By the new constitution the powers of the District, County and Probate Courts were combined and vested in one tribunal, called the Superior Court. There are twelve judges of the Superior Court in the city and county of San Francisco, two in each of the counties of Sacramento, San Joaquin, Los Angeles, Sonoma, Santa Clara and Alameda, one in the counties of Yuba and Sutter combined, and one in each of the other counties in the State. The term of office is six years. There are no set times for holding terms of court, but the judge is compelled to attend from day to day, the court being always open for legal business during the day. A number of other pro- visions intended to facilitate the transaction of busi- ness are in the constitution, one of which is that a judge cannot receive his salary if there remains a case undecided that has been submitted to him for ninety days.
At the election in September, 1879, Hon. Elijah Steele was chosen judge of the Superior Court, and opened his court on the fifth of January, 1830, the following being the record :-

JUSTICE COURT.
A Justice Court is an inferior local tribunal for the adjudication of minor causes and the preservation of the peace. By the law of 1850 the term of office of a justice of the peace was fixed at one year. Two justices were allowed to each township, also two constables, the officers who serve the processes of the court. The jmisdiction of a justice extended to the limits of the township for which he was elected. He had cognizance of actions on contract, for damages, and to recover specifie property, when the amount or value did not exceed $200. In 1851 his powers were considerably increased. He had jurisdiction of actions to recover money, for damages to personal property, for fines, penalties and forfeit- ures, actions on bonds, enforcement of lien on personal property, actions to recover personal property and judgment by confession, where the amount in all these cases did not exceed $500, and on a bond taken by him if the amount did exceed that sum, cases of forcible entry and detainer, and the trial of the right of mining claims. The criminal jurisdiction embraced vagraney, disorder, petty larceny, assault and battery, breaches of the peace, and all mixde- meanors punishable by a fine of not more than $500 and not more than one year's imprisonment. In 1863 forcible entry and detainer cases were trans- ferred to the County Court, and the civil jurisdiction was reduced to amounts not exceeding $300. In 1870 the jurisdiction of cases of misdemeanor was extended to fines of $1,000 and imprisonment for one year, but in 1874 it was reduced to fines of $500 and six months' imprisonment. In 1863 the term of office of justices and constables was in- creased to two years.
The justices of the peace and constables who have held office in the various townships of the county are given below, together with the date of qualifying. The location and extent of the town- ships can be ascertained in the chapter entitled "Siskiyou County as a Political Body."
