HISTORY OF KOSSUTH COUNTY.
CHAPTER VI.
JUDICIAL.
For some reason Kossuth county for several years after its organization was not honored by the presence of the dis- trict court, all the legal business being transacted at the bar of the county court. However, in 1858, Kossuth county was placed in the 4th judicial district, but no cases being on file, no term of the conrt was held until in 1860.
The first regular term of the district court in Kossuth county was held in May, 1860, and convened for the first time on the 21st of that month at Algona. There were present the following members: IIon. Asahel W. Hubbard, judge; O. Howe, district attorney; J. W. Moore, clerk; and O. Benschoter, sheriff.
Immediately upon the assembling of the conrt the following gentlemen were impaneled and sworn in as the grand jury: S. P. Martin, Luther Bullis, G. W. Blottenberger, Henry Kellogg, John Hutchinson, Frederick P. Schaad, Wil- liam H. Ingham, W. B. Carey, Malichi Clark, Andrew L. Seeley, Asa C. Call, Albe Fife, John Ileckart, Thomas Robin- son and Alexander Davidson, who retired for deliberation.
