* William E. Baird was appointed County Treasurer in the place of Christian Keill, on account of his being rendered unfit to discharge the duties of his office, by what afterwards proved to be temporary insanity. But in the suit which Keill brought after his recovery, for his salary as . County Treasurer while the office was occupied by Baird, the Supreme Conrt decided that the office was illegally held by Baird, because Kiell had not been declared insane by the proper tribunal. But at the time of the appointment of Baird, the interests of the county would have greatly suffered by the office being left vacant.

THOSE TO WHOM WE ARE UNDER OBLIGATIONS FOR ASSISTANCE.
THE greater part of the information concerning the "History of the Boone's Lick Country" south of the Mis- souri river, was obtained from Capt. Samuel Cole, who, with the exception of his sister, Mrs. Jennie Davis is the only living witness of the events which transpired from the first settlement of the county to the year 1815. They, at the age of nine years, came to the county with their mother, and have resided within the same ever since.
The information concerning that part of the country lying north of said river, was mostly obtained from Col. N. G. Elliott, who is now living in Howard county. His history, which is no doubt reliable, was obtained from the first settlers when living.
We also acknowledge assistance from the "Annals of the West," "Campbell's Gazetteer of Missouri," and other able histories.
The next living witness is William Gibson, who emi- grated to this county in the year 1815. In ISI6 we have Mr. Jesse McFarland, who was in IS19, Deputy United States Surveyor of Cooper county, Judge John S. McFar- land and Mrs. Margaret Stephens; in 1817, Joseph Steph- ens, son of Joseph Stephens, Sr. ; in 1818, Mr. and Mrs. John Kelly, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Homan, Jonathan and Miss Mary Reavis, all of Boonville. Also at later dates, Messrs. William L. Scott, N. T. Allison, Sr., Peter H. Ferrel, Judge Bennett, C. Clark, and Dr. Waid Howard.
Those who rendered assistance in compiling the history of the different townships of the county. were Messrs. Thomas J. Starke, William G. Pendleton, David Schilb,

POPULATION OF COOPER COUNTY.
Dr. T. H. Winterbower, William Lamm, and Rev. N. T. Allison, Jr. Those who assisted us in the war history of the county, were Col. Joseph A. Eppstein, David Schilb, Marcus Williams, Capt. Joseph L. Stephens, and some few others, to all of whom we return our sincere acknowl- edgments.
We are also under many obligations to Mr. John W. Pattison, Clerk in the department of the Secretary of State at Jefferson City, from whom we obtained much valuable information, and who was untiring in attending to our sim- plest requests.
Also Col. H. A. Hutchison, Circuit Clerk, and Jackson Monroe, County Clerk of Cooper county, for their kindness extended during our examinations for record history in their respective offices.

The reason of the seemingly small increase in popula- tion between the dates of the taking of the census for the first few times, is explained by the fact that every few years some new county was cut off from Cooper, thus taking some part of its territory and population. In taking the census of 1870, twelve square miles of the county were left out by mistake, so that, had the census for that year been taken correctly, the population would have been found to have been several thousand more.
