CHAPTER XIV.
LEGISLATIVE, JUDICIAL AND CONGRESSIONAL HISTORY.
For the following accurate history of Crawford county in its various func- tions as a member of different legislative, judicial and congressional districts, we are indebted to the careful research made by Mr. Wm. H. Fleming, of Des Moines. A man whom we consider the best informed as to the history of Iowa of any man in the state. Mr. Fleming has carefully gone over the records of the state in reference to Crawford county and the following are the results of his investigations.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY.
The legislature that created Crawford a county put it in an extensive represen- tative district, comprising about all the Missouri slope, including the counties of Ringgold, Union, Adair, Audubon, Carroll, Sac, Buena Vista, Clay, Dickin- son, and those to the westward. Its representative in the Fourth General As- sembly was Joseph L. Sharp. Crawford did not take part in this election.
Fifth General Assembly .- The county was in a much smaller district in area, the counties of Audubon, Pottawattamie, Cass, Adair and those to the Southward having been detached, the remaining counties now constituting the 42d district, which was represented by Thomas N. Neely.
Sixth General Assembly .- Crawford had now gotten into a senatorial dis- trict : that is, along with twenty other counties, including all in the 42d district above, and those of Calhoun, Pocahontas, Palo Alto, and Emmet besides, it was hitched on to the 12th Senate district, which in the previous session, consisted entirely of the county of Pottawattamie, which county had in 1854 elected James D. Test, of Council Bluffs to the senate. Thus, these counties were rep- resented in the senate by a man with whose election they had nothing to do. It is true, however, that there were few if any electors within their limits. The representative district, which was now the 16th and composed of the same counties as the 12th senatorial, excepting Pottawattamie, was represented by N. G. Wyatt.
Seventh General Assembly .- The twelfth district, unchanged, had for sena- tor, William H. M. Pusey, of Council Bluffs. The fourteenth representative district, now composed of Pottawattamie, Shelby, Crawford, Ida, Cherokee,

HISTORY OF CRAWFORD COUNTY
O'Brien, Osceola, and the counties to the westward, was represented by Sam- uel H. Casady of Council Bluffs.
Eighth General Assembly .- The counties of Greene, Webster, Humboldt, Kossuth, and those to the westward, composed of the 32d senate district, which was represented by John F. Duncombe, of Fort Dodge. This time, Crawford was represented by two senators, it having taken part in the election of Mr. Pusey, who now was in the second half of his senatorial term. The represen- tative district-the 45th-was composed of Crawford, Monona, Carroll and Greene, and was represented by J. W. Denison, the county now having one of its own citizens in the general assembly. From this time, the number of or- ganized counties in a representative district was limited to four at the most. Under the constitution as amended in due form a few years ago, every county has at least one.
