PLUMAS TOWNSHIP .- Commencing at the south-west corner of Indian township, where the east line of Rich Bar township crosses the east branch of the north fork of Feather river, and running thence easterly up the said east branch and the summit of the divide between Indian and Spanish creeks, along the south boundary of Indian township, to the north boundary of Quartz township; thence south-westerly along the summit of the divide between the middle and north forks of Feather river to the government range line between ranges 10 and 11 east ; thence south on said range line to the north-east corner of Goodwin township in the middle fork of Feather river; thence westerly down the middle fork of Feather river and north boundary of Goodwin township to the government range line between ranges 8 and 9 east; thence north on said range line to the place of beginning.
The above are the boundary lines as they exist to-day, with slight variations made by the board subsequently. On the seventh of August, 1877, the boundary line between Indian and Seneca town-
-
166
ships was moved westward about two miles : " commencing at the summit of Mt. Dyer on the east boundary of Seneca township, and running thence southerly on the dividing ridge between the north fork of Feather river and the waters of Indian and Rush creeks, to the north line of Rich Bar township ; thence east on said north boundary to the west line of Indian township; thenee south- easterly, northerly, and westerly on the line of Indian township already established to Mt. Dyer, the place of beginning." On the seventh of February, 1879, a strip from the north side of Goodwin township and a small piece from the north-west corner of Quartz township were added to Plumas township by changing the boundary of Plumas: "beginning on the divide between north and middle forks, on a line between sections 33 and 34, T. 24 N., R. 11 E., and running south to the seetion point corner sections 3 and 4 on the north line of T. 23 N., R. 11 E .; thence south on seetion lines four miles ; thence west to middle fork of Feather on south line of Plumas township." On the same day Rich Bar and Mineral townships were united in one under the name of Mineral township, the outside boundaries remaining as before defined.
On the seventh of September, 1880, the board apportioned the townships to the three super- visor districts, as follows : District No. 1, Beckwourth, Quartz, and Goodwin; No. 2, Plumas and Mineral; No. 3, Indian and Seneca. These districts are now respectively represented on the board by George S. McLear, William Wagner, and E. D. Hosselkus.
THE COURTS AND JUDICIARY.
About the courts of a country cling some of its most interesting reminiscences, and by their acts are formed many of its most important historical pages. These will be found scattered through the volume in many places ; while in the pages immediately following will be given a history of the organization of the various courts, and the changes in their composition. This will be followed by a list of the justiees of the peaee who have qualified and served sinee the organiza- tion of the county. Also will be given a list of the judges and members of the bar, with biographies of those gentlemen of the most prominence.
DISTRICT COURT.
Section 12 of the Aet of March 18, 1854, organizing Plumas county, provided that "the county of Plumas shall be and remain a portion of the Ninth Judicial District. The District Judge of the said district shall hold at least three terms of his court annually in Plumas county, and shall, as soon as practicable after this Act takes effect, notify the people of the said county of the time of holding said terms." It was also provided by the Act of May 6, 1854, that all indictments in the county of Butte for offenses committed in the territory set off to Plumas should be certified to the proper court of Plumas county.
The ninth distriet was then composed of the counties of Shasta, Butte, Colusa, and Plumas, and the judge was Joseph W. MeCorkle, who had been appointed in 1853 by Governor Bigler to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge George Adams Smith. In accordance with the provisions of the statute, Judge McCorkle appointed the nineteenth day of June, 1854, for opening the first term of the district court in Plumas county, meeting at the American valley, the temporary county seat designated by the statute. P. H. Harris, of Butte county, R. I. Barnett, a miner living on Nelson creek, and Tom Cox, a miner residing on Grub flat, were present to greet the judge and aid
167
in inaugurating the first term of the district court held in Plumas county. The following is a transcript of the proceedings :

J. W. MCCORKLE, Dist. Judge.
In the fall of 1854 Hon. William R. Daingerfield was elected to fill the unexpired term of Judge Smith, and held court in Quincy the following summer. By the Act of April 16, 1855, Plumas was annexed to the fourteenth district, with Sierra and Nevada counties, of which Hon. Niles Searles, of Nevada City, was the judge. Court was held here by Judge Searles at the stated terms till October, 1857, when Hon. C. E. Williams succeeded him, the Act of March 31, 1857, having placed Plumas in the fifteenth district, with Butte, Colusa, and Tehama counties.
168
That fall a hard-fought struggle occurred between Warren T. Sexton and J. E. N. Lewis for the position of judge of the fifteenth district. They were both Democrats, and upon Mr. Sexton becoming successful in receiving the nomination, the friends of Mr. Lewis "bolted," and that gen- tleman ran independently. It is said that $15,000 were spent in conducting this exciting contest, which resulted in the election of Judge Sexton. He held court here until this county was taken from his district by the Act of January 27, 1859, and with Sierra county erected into a new district, the seventeenth. Hon. Peter Van Clief, of Downieville, was appointed judge of the new district by Govenor Weller. He was succeeded the same fall by Hon. Robert H. Taylor, elected by the people. Judge Taylor presided till 1862, when he went to Nevada, and Hon. L. E. Pratt succeeded him. After the creation of the county of Lassen, the Act of April 4, 1864, combined Butte, Tehama, Plumas, and Lassen counties in the second judicial district, of which Hon. Warren T. Sexton was judge, and so remained till he was succeeded by Hon. Charles F. Lott, in January, 1870. The Act of February 15, 1876, created the twenty-first district, embracing the counties of Plumas, Lassen, and Modoc, and Governor Irwin appointed Hon. John D. Goodwin to preside until after the judicial election in 1877. At that time the Hon. G. G. Clough was elected, and held the position until the court was abolished by the new constitution January 1, 1880.
By the provisions of the new state constitution which took effect on the first of January, 1880, the district court was abolished, and all its powers were conferred upon the new superior court. On the twenty-ninth day of December, 1879, the district court convened in Quincy for the last time, Hon. G. G. Clough presiding. There were also present, as members of the bar, Judge John D. Goodwin, Judge E. T. Hogan, William W. Kellogg, and District Attorney R. H. F. Variel. No business was transacted, but speeches were made by the members of the bar in commendation of the course pursued by Judge Clough while presiding the past two years. He responded in a happy manner, and then the following order was spread upon the record :
It is hereby ordered that all books, papers, and proceedings in this court, or belonging thereto, be transferred on the first day of January, A. D. 1880, to the superior court of the county of Plumas.
Ordered that this court do now adjourn sine die.
G. G. CLOUGH, Dist. Judge.
COUNTY COURT.
By the organic Act of the county, the salary of the county judge was fixed at one thousand dollars per annum. Hon. William T. Ward was chosen to the position at the first county election, and by virtue of his office held also the probate court, and presided in the court of sessions. By the Act of March 25, 1857, the salary was doubled, and that fall Hon. E. T. Hogan was elected judge, and in 1861 was again chosen to the same position. In 1863, by reason of the constitutional amendments, a new election was held, and Israel Jones was chosen, but died before assuming the office. By appointment of the governor, Hon. A. P. Moore filled the position till the fall of 1865, when Judge Hogan was again elected. In 1869 Hon. A. P. Moore was elected, and in 1873 Judge Hogan was again chosen to the office. The election of 1877 resulted in the choice of Hon. William A. Cheney, who held the position till the court was terminated by the adoption of the new consti- tution. The last record of this court made on the last day of December, 1879, is as follows :

JOHN HARBISON, Clerk.
The court at this time was composed of County Judge William T. Ward, a farmer residing in Indian valley, Henry M. Gazley, a miner at Smith's bar, and Thomas D. Bonner, a gentleman of elegant leisure residing at Onion valley, and referred to elsewhere as the peregrinating justice. The first grand jury assembled at this time, and was composed of Asa C. Pierce (foreman), E. Fiteli, Orrin Rice, A. G. Clark, John W. McCorkle, James W. Kirlin, John K. Lovejoy, Orlando Fuller, D. J. Gloyd, E. P. Grubbs, F. B. Whiting, W. Elsworth, W. C. Kingsbury, Samuel A. Knight, John L. Davis, John B. Overton, G. W. Robinson, James W. Hayes, Peter Day, H. J. Bradley, Robert W. Neil, John S. Thompson, William V. Kingsbury. . Mr. Whiting says he has a vivid recollection of being one of said grand jurors, and of the perplexities suffered on that occasion in consequence of the inebriated condition of the district attorney, whose counsel was needed so much in the per- formance of their duties. The jury was cribbed in one of the hotel rooms (Bradley's American ranch), closely guarded by the sheriff, and maintained a masterly inactivity for three days, when suddenly the district attorney made his appearance in a very mellowed condition, and thus addressed the jury : "Hell's bells and turtle shells! Gentlemen of the grand jury, what are you doing all this time?" The foreman responded, that, owing to ignorance of the law, they felt unable to pro- ceed in the line of duty. "Know ye not the law ?" said the district attorney. "Know ye not that John Doe and Richard Roe, and a thousand others throughout the broad commonwealth of Plumas, are selling groceries et al. without license? They must all be indicted." The result was, that in two hours the jury came into court and presented thirty-four indictments against sundry dealers in beef, whisky, etc. The defendants all pleaded not guilty, and their cases were argued and sub- mitted to the judge, who fined each of the defendants one cent and costs, and adjourned the court.
