a little on his own account, being assisted by another. He found, first, that the law required all plaintiffs in district court, having jury trials, to deposit with the clerk of court $3; second, that the clerk of court is required, by statute, to "forthwith" pay over the same to the county treasurer; third, upon inquiry of the county treasurer and the county auditor, that no such fees had been paid into the county treasury for years.
These findings Mr. Keeley presented to the county commissioners and the county attorney at the late session. All of the commissioners, save one, were astonished; that commissioner, it is said, at first argued that the officer was all right. After considerable discussion by members of the board, the clerk of the court appeared before them, invited them into a back room, confirmed Commissioner Keeley's statement, and agreed to restore every cent as soon as he could borrow the money.
The commissioners then appointed the county attorney and the county auditor to investigate the books of the clerk of court and ascertain the amount of money withheld from the county, and to report at the next meeting of the board.
We are informed that the amount collected by the clerk during the past eight years and not paid over amounts to over $500.
Subsequent investigations by the state authorities confirmed Mr. Keeley's findings, but the attorney general of the state held that since all this stealing had been done prior to the commence- ment of the clerk's term of office, Jan. 1, 1905, he could not be removed unless he should be indicted and convicted by the courts. The grand jury of the county, at the Mareh term of court, failed to indict the clerk, and Mr. Henry Reynolds con- tinues as one branch of the court which, theoretically, is ex- pected to have clean hands.

595

1859. The first to occupy this office in Waseca county was Spencer J. Willis, who entered upon his duties January 1, 1860, and held the position for three years. Colonel John C. Ide, of Wilton, was his successor, being appointed such in January, 1863, upon the resignation of Mr. Willis. Colonel Ide held this office until the fall of 1866, when he died suddenly of heart disease. Captain C. C. Comee, then of Vivian, was appointed by the county commissioners to fill the vacancy for the unexpired term. At the election following in November, 1866, he was elected to the office and was re-elected biennially, holding the office until 1870, when he resigned. Captain Comee was succeeded by Hon. Warren Smith, who was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Comee's resignation. At the fall election of 1870, Edgar Cronk- hite, Esq., of Freedom, was elected auditor, and entered upon the duties of the office March 1, 1871. He was re-elected in 1873, 1875, 1877, and 1879, thus holding the office for ten years most acceptably to the people of the county. Mr. C. E. Crane, of Free- dom, was the next to fill the office of auditor, being elected in the fall of 1880. He was re-elected in the fall of 1882, and thus served the people of the county for four years. He was followed in the office by Mr. S. Swenson, of Waseca, who was elected No- vember 4, 1884, and re-elected in the falls of 1886 and 1888, thus holding the position for six years. Mr. A. J. Lohren, of Waseca, was elected auditor in 1890, and again in 1892 and 1894. He was succeeded by P. J. McLoone, of Waseca, who held the office from January 1, 1897, to January 1, 1901. C. H. Bailer, the present auditor, was elected to this office in 1900, 1902, and 1904. At the last election MIr. Bailer had no opponent.
REGISTER OF DEEDS.
At the time of the organization of the county of Waseca, Gov- ernor Gorman appointed Mr. Tarrant Putnam register of deeds. He entered upon his duties in March, 1857, and held the office until the election in June following, when he was succeeded by Mr. J. W. Crawford, then of Janesville, who had been elected to the position. At the general election in the fall of 1857, Major E. A. Rice, then of Wilton, was elected to this office, and held the position for two years. At the fall election of 1860, Mr. Tar- rant Putnam, of the same place, was elected to succeed Major

Rice. In the fall of 1862, Mr Putnam was re-elected, thus hold- ing the office four years in all. Mr. H. P. Norton, then of Wil- ton, now of Waseca, was elected to succeed Mr. Putnam in the fall of 1863, and held the office for two years. The next incum- bent of this office was Mr. Hiram A. Mosher, an ex-soldier, who had lost an arm in the service. He was elected in 1865, and re- elected term after term, holding the office until January 1, 1880. Then he gave way to his successor, Mr. Charles San Galli, of Wa- seca, who was elected register of deeds in 1879. Mr. San Galli served in all four years, when Mr. H. A. Mosher was again elected to this office in the fall of 1883, and served until November 13, 1884, when he suddenly died of heart disease. On the death of Mr. Mosher, the county board appointed Mr. A. F. Kruger, of Janesville to fill the vacancy. In the fall of 1886 Mr. Kruger was elected to the office and held the position for four years. John M. Wollschlaeger, of Waseca, was elected to succeed Mr. Kruger in the fall of 1890. He has been re-elected each succeed- ing two years by increased majorities and is our present register of deeds.
TREASURER.
The first man to hold the position of treasurer in Waseca coun- ty was Mr. W. S. Baker, of Otiseo, who was appointed to that position at the first meeting of the board of county commission- ers, which was held on the 16th of March, 1857. His duties were not ardnous, as there was no money in the treasury. He held the office until the close of the year, when Jesse I. Stewart, who was elected in the fall of 1857, succeeded him. Mr. Stewart held the office for two years, when he was succeeded by Mr. J. S. Rice, then of New Richland, who held the office for two years. In the fall of 1861, Hon. George T. White (afterwards Captain White), then of St. Mary, was elected to sueceed Mr. Rice as eounty treas- urer. Although he enlisted in the month of August in 1862. he continued to hold the office by deputy during the term for which he had been elected. Hon. P. C. Bailey, of Wilton, was elected in 1863 to succeed Mr. White. Mr. Bailey held the office for two years, when he was succeeded by Mr. George R. Buckman, then of St. Mary, who held the office by re-election until January 1, 1874. At the election of 1871, the official returns showed that
597
CHILD'S HISTORY OF WASECA COUNTY.
Dr. R. O. Craig, of Janesville, received a majority of three votes, but on contesting the matter the court decided that Mr. Buck- man was duly elected to the office of treasurer. Mr. Buckman was succeeded in 1874 by Hon. Warren Smith, of Waseca, who held the office by re-election for six years. In 1879, Charles Mc- Kenna was elected to succeed Mr. Smith. He was re-elected in 1881 and again in 1883 and 1885. He held the office until the month of September, 1888, when he was found to be a defaulter in the sum of $6,694. It is safe to say that Mr. McKenna, dur- ing his residence in Waseca county, did more to sow the seeds of bribery and corruption than any other politician that ever flour- ished here. The Democratic county convention, which met on the 22d of September, 1888, broke up in a row, one faction claim- ing the nomination of H. C. Chase, of Janesville, and the other claiming the nomination of Charles McKenna. Immediately after the convention, and clandestinely, McKenna disposed of all his property, and on the following Tuesday, under pretense of taking his wife to Faribault on a visit, he made his escape to Canada. As before stated, it was discovered that he was short of county funds $6,694, which his bondsmen were required to make good. H. C. Chase, of Janesville, was appointed to the vacancy, and Mr. Emil Dieudonne was elected in the fall to succeed Mr. McKenna. Mr. Dieudonne held the office for one term and Mr. August C. Krassin was elected in the fall of 1900 to take his place. Mr. Krassin held the office until August of 1891, when he died. Mr. Emil Dieudonne was appointed to fill out the term. In the fall of 1892, Captain Walter Child was elected treasurer and held the office for four years. He was succeeded by W. H. Roesler, of Waseca, who also filled the office for four years. In the fall of 1900, Mr. Joseph T. Dunn, of Waseca, was elected treasurer. His death occurring April 18, 1901, Hon. D. J. Dodge, of Janesville, was appointed by the county commissioners to fill out Mr. Dunn's unexpired term. Mr. C. A. Wagner, of New Richland, was the next to fill the position, and Fred W. Roesler, of Waseca, was chosen at the election in 1904, and entered upon the duties of the office January 1, 1905.
CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT.

territorial form of government in 1857, and Thomas L. Page held the office by appointment. He soon resigned the office, and H. P. Norton, now of Waseca, was appointed to fill out his term.

Hayden, of Alton, who held the place by re-election from Jan. 1, 1872, to Jan. 1, 1880. M. B. Keeley, of Waseca, was chosen in the fall of 1879 to succeed Mr. Hayden. Mr. Keeley held the office by re-election until Jan. 1, 1892, when he was succeeded by John M. Byron, then of St. Mary, who held the office until Jan. 1, 1897. At the fall election of 1896, Henry Reynolds was elected to the position, and was re-elected in 1900 and in 1904. For a time Mr. Reynolds was suspended from of- fice by Governor John A. Johnson for having embezzled jury fees paid into court for several years, but was reinstated as elsewhere detailed in this work.
SHERIFF.
The first sheriff of Waseca county was Nathaniel Garland, who was appointed to that office by the governor of the territory at the time of the organization of the county by legislative act. He was then elected to succeed himself at the special election held in June, 1857. He filled the office until the close of the year 1859. At the fall election in 1859, D. L.
