JAMES D. BYERS was the second sheriff of Plumas county. He came from the state of Ohio, and early engaged in quartz-mining at Jamison creek, being one of the company known as the Washington or Seventy-six. He was elected, in the fall of 1855, to fill the vacancy caused by the absconding of Sheriff Sharpe, and in 1856 he was again a candidate for the office, and defeated R. C. Chambers, running on the know-nothing ticket. Byers served until the fall of 1858, when he was succeeded by R. C. Chambers, the democratic candidate. Mr. Byers made a very active and efficient officer. He has always been a dealer in cattle, and has become quite wealthy in the business. Most of the property he had acquired during his sojourn at Quincy was destroyed in the fire of 1861. He has resided in Lassen county many years, and is a rich old bachelor.
ROBERT CRAIG CHAMBERS, the third sheriff of Plumas county, is a native of Ohio, and came to California in the year 1850. His first mining in Plumas was on the east branch at Rich bar. He then tried ranching in American valley, and was afterwards in the service of Clark, Shannon, & Co., at Meadow valley. Mr. Chambers was the democratic candidate in the fall of 1856 for sheriff against J. D. Byers, the know-nothing candidate, and S. J. Clark, the first republican candidate in Plumas. Chambers and Clark were both defeated. Our subject again appeared in the field in 1858, and obtained the shrievalty over his opponent, L. C. Charles. He was re-elected in 1859, but was succeeded in 1861 by Elisha H. Pierce. He then resided in Meadow valley, being the assignee of the bankrupt firm of Clark, Shannon, & Co., and afterwards superintended the Plumas or Whitney quartz-mine until it proved a failure. He subsequently became identified with the Oroville and Virginia City Railroad Company, and remained in the state until it collapsed, and then went to Utah, where he now resides.
ELISHA H. PIERCE .- Pierce is a native of New York. In the summer of 1852 he kept a liquor stand on Rich bar, but in the fall left the river and went to the American valley. He served as deputy sheriff under George W. Sharpe, and when James D. Byers was elected sheriff held the same position under him. Having served out the term, he, with J. H. Houck, opened a saloon in Quincy, which had a very large custom. In 1861 Pierce was elected sheriff, defeating John W. Mc Williams. In 1865 he again appeared before the republican convention, but failed to get the nomination, S. J. Clark being selected as the nominee. During the campaign he worked in the interest of Yeates, and in 1867, when Clark was again pitted against Yeates, Pierce took an active part in securing his defeat. He then left the county, removing to Santa Barbara. Pierce had golden opportunities during his shrievalty for making a fortune. His percentage alone for collect-
187
ing the foreign miners' tax was $18,814, after paying all the expenses of collection. On one occasion he visited Sierra valley, to serve tax summons, and his fees amounted to $1,400. He did not make many friends while in office. His conduct at the time Ross and Williams were taken by a mob and hung has received severe censure, because of his alleged negligence to offer protection to the unfortunate men. He was accused of aiding and abetting the outrage; though further than an apparent fear of interfering with the infuriated mob, there can probably be no definite charge laid at his door.
JAMES HUGHES YEATES was born in Washington county, Virginia, December 15, 1815. His parents were John and Hannah (Hughes) Yeates, both natives of Virginia. When quite young, James emigrated to Kentucky, where he learned the trade of stone-cutting. Here he remained for three years, and then removed to Iowa, where he still followed this profession until 1850, when he crossed the plains to California. In February, 1851, he came to Plumas county, and settled on the farm he now owns, in November, 1862. In 1865 he became candidate for sheriff against S. J. Clark, and had a contest for the office, which was decided in favor of Mr. Clark. [See paragraph below.] In 1867 he defeated Mr. Clark for the same office, and was twice re-elected, giving way in 1874 to I. C. Boring. He was again elected in 1877 for one term. He now resides on his farm in the American valley, and enjoys the confidence and respect of his fellow-citizens. Mr. Yeates was married in Indiana, January 17, 1843, to Miss Nancy T. Reed, daughter of Hon. John Reed of that state. He has reared a family of eight children.
YEATES-CLARK CONTEST .- At the election in September, 1865, Stephen J. Clark and James H. Yeates ran for the office of sheriff. When the votes were canvassed, the supervisors declared Yeates elected by a majority of five. He qualified, and entered upon the discharge of the duties of the office. The majority was so small that William H. Knowles, a warm personal friend of Clark, commenced action for the office in the county court before Judge A. P. Moore. Peter Van Clief and H. L. Gear represented Clark, while John R. Buckbee and John D. Goodwin conducted the case for the defendant. The decision was in favor of Yeates, and Knowles appealed to the supreme court. Creed Haymond represented Yeates in the higher court, and secured a decision sustaining the decree of Judge Moore. This was not the end. A petition for rehearing was granted, and in October, 1866, the supreme court reversed its former judgment, and declared Clark the rightful possessor of the office upon a majority over Yeates of two votes. Yeates lost $1,500 in fees that the supervisors gave to Clark, on the ground that Yeates had not been in lawful posses- sion of the office. The case created intense excitement in the county, and party feeling ran high ; and in the following year, when Clark and Yeates were again pitted against each other for the same office, Clark was defeated, and Yeates held the office for several successive terms.
STEPHEN J. CLARK came from New York, and settled at Elizabethtown, where he engaged in mining. He was not successful, however, and turning his attention to politics, he sought and obtained the republican nomination for county treasurer in 1861, and was elected over C. T. Kaul- back and W. S. Ingersoll : the former unconditional union, and the latter democratic. Clark was perhaps the best political organizer the county ever had, and no politician ever had more devoted friends or more inveterate enemies. The fusion between the two wings of the union party was ruptured at the union convention in Quincy in the summer of 1865, when Clark became the nominee for sheriff, defeating Elisha H. Pierce, who led the other wing. The result was a bolt, with another ticket, on which L. F. Cate's name appeared for sheriff. Clark was defeated by Yeates, the democratic nominee, through a sell-out by others on the ticket. [See the paragraph preceding this.] Clark was again pitted against Yeates in the fall of 1867, and was defeated
188
through the action of Overton, candidate for county clerk, who traded him off a second time. Soon after his retirement from office, Clark went to San Francisco, but returned in the campaign of 1869 to defeat Overton's deputy, who was running for clerk, which he accomplished by hard work. He then went back to San Francisco, and obtained a position in the custom-house, where he remained several years. He is still residing in the city. Clark was as true to his friends as the needle to the pole, and the fidelity of his friends to him has never been excelled in the history of parties.
ISAAC C. BORING was a native of Albany, Kentucky. He came to California and settled in Camptonville, Yuba county, and from there went to La Porte, where he engaged in mining. In March, 1870, he was appointed under-sheriff by Sheriff Yeates, and served in that capacity until March, 1874, when, having been elected sheriff, he assumed the duties of that office. He was re-elected in the fall of 1875, and served a second term. In 1878 he retired from public life, and on the twenty-third of November of that year died at Quincy, at the age of 46 years, leaving a wife and two children.
PETER LANE HALLSTED was born at Fayetteville, Brown county, Ohio, April 27, 1834. He was the son of A. A. and Jane B. Hallsted. He came to California, via Nicaragua, in 1854, and first engaged in mining at Stringtown in Butte county. In March, 1855, he came to Plumas county, and mined at 12-mile bar. He followed mining for a number of years. In 1864 he was employed by T. C. Kaulback as clerk and book-keeper. In 1874 he was elected county assessor, and served four years. In the fall of 1879 he was elected to the office of sheriff of Plumas county, which position he now holds. He was married in November, 1865, to Elizabeth Bishop of Cincinnati. Mr. Hallsted is a member of Plumas Lodge No. 88, I. O. O. F., and of the Quincy Lodge No. 129, A. O. U. W.
DANIEL ROGERS CATE, the first treasurer of Plumas county, was born at Northfield, Merrimack county, New Hampshire, November 24, 1832, and is the son of Simon and Lydia (Durgin) Cate, both natives of New Hampshire. When fifteen years old his father died, and Daniel went to work the following year in a country store. At nineteen he went to Boston and clerked most of the time until October, 1849, when he came, via Panama, to California, arriving at the port of San Francisco on the first of December. In a few days he went to Stockton, and had the misfortune to lose by fire everything he possessed except the clothes he wore. He accepted the first job that offered, boating goods from Stockton to the French camp, receiving an ounce a day for his services. The winter of 1850-51 he spent in Central America, and upon his return in the spring he went to Downieville. Here he engaged in all kinds of mining, from fluming the Yuba to working a drift- ยท claim on Durgan flat for one year; and then, with his partners, E. W. Judkins and Joseph S. Boyn- ton, came to his present home in American valley. Soon after settlement, he with others built a saw-mill on Mill creek. Mr. Boynton retiring, Mr. Judkins and Mr. Cate afterwards built the Plumas flour and saw mills. The first store and blacksmith-shop in American valley were kept at their ranch in the fall of 1852, by Judkins & Cate. In the spring of 1853 Mr. Cate began packing merchandise from Marysville to the store in American valley, and continued it until 1856, since which time he has devoted most of his attention to his farm. While engaged in packing, he once became snow-blind, from which his eyes never fully recovered. Mr. Cate was elected county treasurer of Plumas county in April, 1854, being the first to hold that position, He was married November 5, 1863, to Miss Hannah A. Loring, daughter of John H. and Ann B. (Trafter) Loring, a native of Somerset county, Maine, where she was born January 18, 1844. They have had five children, as follows: Alice Lydia, born November 26, 1864; Mary Louise, October 9, 1869 ; Henry Loring, May 21, 1871 ; Lafayette, June 29, 1875; Daniel Rogers, November 17, 1880.

WILSON SEAMAN DEAN, the second county treasurer of Plumas county, was elected in the fall of 1854. He was one of the early emigrants, and settled in Plumas, then a part of Butte county, in May, 1851. He bought what now constitutes the Meadow Valley ranch, and opened a store at that place. In the fall of 1852 he encountered a rival in the firm of Clark, Wagner, & Co., who opened a store near by him. The trade was thus divided ; and in the fall of 1854 Mr. Dean moved to Quincy, where he has since lived. In the fall of 1855 he visited his home in Illinois, leaving the treasury affairs in the hands of his deputy, Arron Bradbury. Bradbury at that time was surrounded by vicious associates, who led him into " ways that were dark," the result being that when Dean returned he found a considerable shortage waiting him, which taxed him sorely to make good. However, he left a square record as treasurer. Mr. Dean was deputy sheriff under I. C. Boring until 1880. He was one of the three commissioners to organize the county in 1854.
T. J. MINER. See article on Finances.
WILLIAM S. INGERSOLL .- " Old man Ingersoll" came from the state of Ohio, and his advent into Plumas occurred somewhere about 1858. He was mining in Eagle gulch in 1859, when the democracy presented him to the people as a proper man to take care of the county's cash. He was successful at the election. Ingersoll was an ignorant man ; and but for the presence and ability of John G. Corey, he would have been sadly at sea. He did not attempt to keep accounts with the various funds in the treasury, but had separate purses; and when inquiry was made of him as to the condition of a certain fund, he would count out the money in its purse, and report accordingly. The firm of Clark, Shannon, & Co., at Meadow valley, induced Ingersoll to deposit the county funds with them for safe keeping; and when they failed, in the fall of 1861, it was found that the public moneys had failed also. The shortage was made good, however. Ingersoll was defeated in the fall of 1861 by S. J. Clark. No stain of dishonesty attaches to his character. Upon his defeat he moved to Butte county, and from there to Ohio.
S. J. CLARK. See a few paragraphs above.
WILLIAM S. PRICE .- Mr. Price is a native of Maryland, and a wagon-maker by trade. His political record dates from the year 1865, when at the union convention he received the nomi- nation for county treasurer. His political opponents were R. S. Flournoy, a democrat, and Oscar D. Peck, a union bolter, both of whom he defeated. He served only one term-two years-and was succeeded by James C. Gentry. He belongs to that class of southern men who were known as union men. He depended largely upon his assistants to do his figuring and balancing up; but his integrity was never questioned, and he left a good record as an honest and faithful official. Price is now 68 years old, and is engaged in business in Taylorville.
J. C. GENTRY, son of Rodes and Allie (Moore) Gentry, was born May 23, 1829, in Madison county, Kentucky. His parents removed to Missouri when he was three years of age. Both his parents died before he had reached the age of fourteen, but he remained there until eighteen, and then went to the mining regions of Wisconsin. In March, 1850, he came overland to California, arriving at Coloma, July 18, 1850, where he mined six months. He afterwards spent several months in Calaveras and Butte counties, and in 1851 was engaged in butchering at Natchez, in the latter county. In six months he sold out and mined for some time. Then he went into the stock business, and alternated between mining and stock-raising for two years or more. In March, 1854, Mr. Gentry came to Plumas county and opened a meat market on Hopkins creek. Shortly after, with a Mr. Blanks, he started a hotel, which they ran for three years, and then Gentry bought out his partner, and continued alone one year. In 1858 he mined between Hopkins and Poorman's creeks. On the sixteenth of February a snow-slide carried the log cabin, occupied by himself and

family and three men, half a mile down the canon, crushing and instantly killing William Gentry, his infant son, and injuring one of his partners, John Wilson, so badly that he died. All of them were more or loss hurt, and were nearly suffocated before they could extricate themselves. It was a night of horror, and Mr. Gentry's trip to Hopkins for aid in his night-clothes makes a thrilling narrative of suffering. In 1858 he went into the dairy business, and a year after began farming, which he followed three years, and then sold out and mined for five years. In 1867 he was elected county treasurer on the republican ticket, and after his retirement from office bought a ranch in American valley, on which he lived six years, and then bought part of the Jobe Taylor ranch, near Taylorville, where he now resides. He was married July 4, 1854, to Miss S. Turner, by whom he has had six children, four of whom are living.
JOHN C. CHAPMAN is a native of Ohio. He learned the trade of smelting, and was engaged in smelting copper near Iron Mountain, Missouri, in 1852, when he started overland to California. On their arrival he and his brothers settled on a ranch in American valley, but John did not suc- ceed, and moved to Indian valley. Here he tried farming, but though a very industrious and tem- perate man, he failed to make his husbandry pay. He then built a furnace for the smelting and manufacture of copper, in Genesee valley, and this enterprise failed for the want of ore. In 1869 he was put in nomination by the democratic convention for county treasurer, and defeated James C. Gentry by a large majority. He was re eleeted in 1871, again in 1873, also in 1875, and was put in for a fifth term in 1877. Late in the year 1878 he resigned the office because of a defi- ciency in his accounts [see article on Finances], and retired to private life. His successor was Dr. L. F. Cate, who was appointed in January, 1879, t.> fill the unexpired term.
THOMAS L. HAGGARD is a native of Roane county, Tennessee. He was born September 30, 1831, and came to California in 1852, at the age of twenty-one, crossing the plains. Mr. Haggard settled in the Plumas portion of Butte county, and engaged in mining on Spanish creek, above Spanish Ranch. The winter of 1852-53 was spent at Bidwell's bar, which was then the most important place in Butte county. In the spring of 1853 he returned to the Plumas portion, and settled at Rich bar, where he mined for many years, and lived until the summer of 1871. He then settled at Spanish Ranch, and remained until the summer of 1876. He kept the Buckeye House from that time till 1879, when he sold out and removed to Quincy, having been elected county treasurer. Mr. Haggard makes an efficient county officer, and is esteemed by a large circle of friends.
JOHN R. BUCKBEE, first county assessor. See Bench and Bar.
JOHN J. L. PEEL, a Tennesseean by birth, emigrated to California in 1850, and settled at Nevada City, where he was occupied in mining. In January, 1851, he arrived at Nelson Point, and until 1856 followed mining there on Poorman's creek and Hopkins, when he was elected county assessor, serving one term. He was elected justice of the peace of Indian township in 1861, and three years later he was appointed county surveyor. His principal avocation during the latter portion of his residence in the county was keeping books for persons engaged in mining and other kinds of business. He removed to Truckee, California, in September, 1868, where he was agent for Wells, Fargo, & Co., until June 1, 1881. He is now superintendent of a mercantile and wood contracting firm at Truckee.
CHARLES W. HENDEL was born in Saxony, July 21, 1831. He was educated at Dresden, and graduated from the Zchocko Technic Institute in 1850. Two years later he came to the United States, living in New Jersey and Connecticut until the spring of 1853, when he came to California. After mining for a time on the American river, he went to St. Louis, Sierra county, and engaged
191
in mining till 1860, when he was elected county surveyor of Sierra county, which office he held two terms. Since that time he has been engaged in his profession as a surveyor, though largely inter- ested in a number of mining enterprises. In 1871 he was appointed deputy U. S. surveyor, a position he still retains. He moved to La Porte, Plumas county, the same year, and in 1879 was elected county surveyor of that county, which office he now holds, residing in La Porte. Among other mining ventures, he was interested with two others in the Sears Ravine flume, which cost them over $80,000, and from which they realized nothing, though it has since proved to be good property. He now owns a three-fourths interest in the Alturas tailing mine on Slate creek, five miles long; also seven-eighths of the claims on Port Wine ridge, known as the Lucky Hill Consol- idated Drift Mine, containing 800 acres, in which a 2,000-foot tunnel is being run to tap the channel. . IIe has done much to advance the mining interests of both Plumas and Sierra counties. One evening in 1856, just after the fire in St. Louis, he had a miraculous escape from death at the bottom of a shaft fifty-four feet deep, down which he plunged headlong. His injuries confined him to his bed but two weeks.
