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 court 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: Hon. Asahel W. Hubbard, judge; O. Howe, district attorney; J. W. Moore, clerk; and O. Benschoter, sheriff.
Immediately upon the assembling of the court 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 Heckart, Thomas Robin- son and Alexander Davidson, who retired for deliberation.
The first case that came up before the court was one entitled H. A. Henderson vs. Albert Mckinney, and was a suit on attachment. The record states that
"whereas this case having been compro- mised and settled out of court, and it being shown that the costs in the same have been paid," the case was dismissed.
Lewis H. Smith, presenting himself then, before the court, and asking to be admitted to practice at the bar of that court, the petition was granted and Mr. Smith enrolled among the legal frater- nity.
Hon. A. W. Hubbard, the judge who presided over this court, was a resident of Sioux City, and afterwards was elected member of Congress from this district, and is noted at more length under that head in the chapter on "National, State and County Representation."
The next judge, Isaac Pendleton, was elected in 1862, and presided for the first time in Kossuth county at the May term in 1863. He was a good judge and deeply read in the law, and oconpied the bench for one full term of four years.
At the May term of court, 1863, while Judge Pendleton' was on the bench, the first jury trials came off and the first petit jury was impaneled. It consisted of the following well-known citizens: Kinsey Carlon, foreman; Francis Harrison, Rob- ert Braden, David Haggarty, Charles Hubbard, W. P. Keyes, W. P. Winter,

John Wallace, G. O. Austin, Abel Woos- ter, Charles Strubel and J. E. Blackford.
The cases seem to have been some trifling misdemeanor committed by three parties, but the jury in every case brought in a verdict of acquittal, and the prisoners were discharged by the court.
The succeeding judge, who donned the ermine in this, the 4th district, was Hen- ry Ford, who was elected in 1866, and held his first term of court, in Kossuth county, in May, 1867. He was considered a fair, impartial judge, courteous to all who labored at the bar, and of fair legal ability. Orson Rice was the district attorney of this court. In 1870 Judge Ford was re-elected and served, in all, eight years upon the bench of this dis- trict. At the time of his re-election, C. HI. Lewis was chosen to fill the position of district attorney.
