On the other side of the oxen and just in front of the building stood Swet- land with the ballot box under his arm, calling on them to desist or he would again leave for California. Another individual whose name we disremember, but who, it appears, met with some mishap, either at home or abroad while in California, is in great earnest, swearing that "the drones in Cedar beat California bad." There were others, too, with ropes attached to the building making them fast to stumps and other places, offering at the same time to compromise by giving Rochester the jail, but not the court house.
The caricature is a good one and will answer for similar occasions elsewhere, by changing a few names. 322
There is a query in the mind of every newcomer and perhaps in the minds of others who stop to consider the matter as to why the courthouse stands on the side of the square instead of in the center. From the records it must have been due to the insistence of one in authority who could not be persuaded to view the matter any other way. "Petition and protest were unavailing. The affair was duly satirized by a poet of the time showing the peril to the town from the tipping over of the square."
The election of 1841 was undoubtedly the most exciting one that ever occurred in the county. One candidate represented Tipton, and the other one Rochester, and either one was voted for regardless of political preferences or prejudices. The county seat question, like the rod of the ancient Jewish leader, swallowed up all others, and the interest manifested on the election day was so great that every legal vote in the county was polled. It was even intimated that some who were not legal voters had exercised the right of franchise. The result was not long in doubt. Higginson, having some thirty majority in Cedar, was elected as the votes of Jones and Linn, the one for and the other against, were about equally divided.323
In 1846 the county seat contest was practically ended and politics, it is now said, took up its usual or customary routine. Parties lined up with few excep- tions as they were in older settled states. Before this time it did not make so much difference as to party-Whig or Democrat-as it did whether the candidate was for Rochester or Tipton and this fact is mentioned more fully in the refer- ences in another chapter on county affairs.

HISTORY OF CEDAR COUNTY
At the election for county officers for the year 1846, as just mentioned, the principal contest was for sheriff, the candidate on the Democratic ticket being Patterson Fleming, and on the Whig, Joseph Denson.
The county was thoroughly canvassed, and the result was considered ex- tremely doubtful, as although the Democrats had a considerable majority, there was quite a number who would not support the sheriff as a candidate and it was confidently asserted that Culbertson, Swetland and Finch, and other leading Democrats, would openly support Denson.
The election of that fall was an exciting one, according to the authority, and all kinds of inducements were offered to secure votes. Among other means, there being no Good Templars at that time, James W. Wall was supplied with funds and with this means secured a barrel of whiskey for the polls at Tipton and Archibald Scott was similarly employed at Rochester. Both parties were accustomed to use such persuasion at elections and after a keen contest in votes and spirits, the votes resulted in a small majority for Mr. Fleming. A few days before the election the old campaign argument made much of in the county seat contest-the song ridiculing the opposing candidate was sung through the county. The same names occur as in former contests indicating that a few controlled the destinies of the county even at the time.
When the agitation of the doctrines of the Republican party extended westward the call came for organization in this county and the names signed to that first call are on record. This was in 1855, the first candidates for national officers being nominated the following year. The list of signers to that first document appear below: N. C. Swank, J. W. Cattell, Wells Spicer, Robt. Gower, Nelson Rathbun, Geo. Smith, Joe Kent, Andrew Ford, C. McAllough, E. A. Gray, Thomas James, John Boydston, Merrill Willey, R. C. Knott, Wm. Green, W. A. Rigby, O. C. Jack, Samuel Dewell.
LEGEND OF THE WAPSIPINICON RIVER.
There is a picturesque story of the naming of the Wapsipinicon which should not be without interest to young and old. The foundation for the sketch comes from one of the story tellers of the land, a man deeply versed in the lore of woodland, water and savage people, and his tale is merely legendary.
Once upon a time, long ago, when the red man still roamed the prairies of this country, hunted, trapped, and fished along its streams, gathered themselves into primitive villages, there grew upon the shores of the great "Father of Waters," near a city of the present day, a little hamlet occupied by the bravest warriors of the Blackhawk tribe. About two days' ride toward the setting sun was another Indian village, similar in some respects to the first, but belonging to another people. Beyond the hills that bordered the great stream lay the rolling prairies for miles away.
Knasqueton was a little Sioux village, seemingly dropped from the clouds into this very spot, for it was miles before another could be found, the one of the Blackhawk people being the nearest. The scenery did not modify the revenge- ful spirit of the stern old warriors, for they were still full of enmity. But the women of the hamlet seemed to a degree to understand and appreciate the scenery.
512
HISTORY OF CEDAR COUNTY
Among the most interesting admirers of the village was "Wapsie," daughter of Chief "Good Heart." Her mother had long since answered to the call of the "Great Spirit" and been laid to rest, but little "Wapsie" had never known her loss, for Chief "Good Heart," however stern in other directions, treated her ten- derly. She was trained in all the arts of wood craft, to row, to swim, to run with the strongest, owned the lightest canoe, the daintiest bow and arrows, and wore the softest moccasins and brightest beads-and received the homage from the whole village accordingly. But all this could not affect her generous and loving disposition. She had lovers by the score, brave young fellows who dared everything for her. For a long time the tomahawk had been buried, and peace had reigned among the tribes by the stream, but one day a Blackhawk warrior was missing from his tribe, and search being made his body was found pierced with arrows, which were recognized as belonging to the Crows. An alliance of Sioux with the Blackhawk people was formed to avenge this death, and thus it came about that "Pinicon," the son of Black Feather, met the daughter of "Good Heart," the beautiful "Wapsie." Jealous suitors were in abundance, but her preference for "Pinicon" becoming known only one, "Fleet Foot," continued his suit. He determined upon a wicked plan to treacherously follow the favor- ite. On the evening of the wedding day the lovers decided to row upon the river. "Fleet Foot" knew of this plan and went thither. Mayhap cruel fortune favored him for while a crazy warrior was plunging through the forest a boat was leisurely making its way up stream. They did not land but conversed while seated in their canoe. At some expression uttered by "Pinicon," "Wapsie" raised her hand to his lips. This caress was too much for the jealous one con- cealed nearby and he shot an arrow into the heart of "Pinicon." Wapsie sprang to him and in so doing overturned the canoe. They sank together. "Wapsie- Pinicon."324
