rad Lassen, Richard Goehring, J. M. Weldon, Edward Williams, with Weldon as chairman. On November 10, 1908, beginning with Supervisor's Record 8, the proceedings of the board were written on loose sheets and bound into a permanent book, and the work then and thereafter done by typewriter.

In 1909 the newly elected members were Edward Williams, Conrad Lassen, Fred Phillips and J. R. Jewett, and the hold-overs Goehring, Miller and Henne. Williams was chosen as chairman.

In 1910 the hold-over members, Williams, Lassen, Phillips and Jewett, were joined by three new members, Gus Sievers, Wm. Stoeger and W. H. McDowell. Lassen was elected chairman.

In 1911 the newly elected members of the

board .were John Jewett, Arthur Schuster, S. Y. Bryson and Henry Henne. Gustav Sievers was chosen chairman, and these five with Stoeger and McDowell constituted the board. Excess fees turned in by county officers for year 1911 were: Clerk of District Court Langman, $1,011.20; County Judge Mullin, $413.50; Register Buenz, $281.84; County Treasurer Nuemann, $596.28; Sheriff Dunkel, fees for 1911, $874.55.

On January 3, 1912, Sievers retired from the board, and at the same time resolutions were sent to Supervisor Henne upon the death of his wife.

The membership remained the same for 1912 except Sievers was succeeded by M. L. Dolan. Stoeger was chosen chairman.

The board in 1913 consisted of Arthur A. Schuster, S. Y. Bryson, Fred J. Miller and Theo. P. Boehm as newly elected members, with Messrs. McDowell, Stoeger and Dolan as hold-overs. Supervisor Dolan was elected as chairman. In 1914 Messrs . McDowell. Stoeger and Dolan were seated for another term and the board remained the same in membership, with Mr. Bryson for chairman.

On January 12, 1915, the board organized with S. Y. Bryson, Wm. Stoeger, Fred J. Miller, M. L. Dolan, W. H. McDowell, L. T. Geer and John Sass as members, and Miller as chairman. Chairman Miller was reelected in 1916 and the membership of the board re- mained the same.

On January 9, 1917, Wm. Stoeger and W. H. McDowell were seated for new terms and H. J. Voss succeeded Mr. Dolan. Miller. Bryson, Geer and Sass remained on the board and Sass was selected chairman. There was no change in the membership in 1918 but Bryson became chairman.

During the year 1918 considerable improve- ment was made in the road building ma- chinery of the county and at the beginning of 1919 the county has two new sets of power road building machinery. The "influenza" epidemic late in 1918 called upon the board to exercise powers as a board of health for the county; and at the November election the board submitted the proposal for the

county to buy the property of the Central Nebraska Agricultural Society and conduct a county fair under the state county fair law. This received a very close favorable majority, and after some negotiations back and forth, early in 1919 the board submitted the matter to a special election called for March 18, 1919, at which time the proposal was over- whelmingly defeated. The only change in the board in January, 1919, ,was that Conrad Lassen returned after several years absence, Mr. Bryson re tiring, Messrs. Conrad Lassen, Fred J. Miller, L. T. Geer and John Sass being the members returned and Wm. Stoeger, W. H. McDowell and H. J. Voss the hold- over members. Early in 1918 the county board . acted upon a petition of the Hall County Farm Bureau and employed a county agricultural agent, J. R. White, but in 1919 the board demurred to the granting of an appropriation to continue the work for another year after May 1, 1919, and left the matter unsettled, and this controversy i sstill pending in the courts in October, 1919.

COUNTY CLERKS

The first clerk bore the title of recorder and was Theo. F. Nagel, appointed in 1858. He was elected in 1859. The next clerk shown on records was Fred Evans who was holding the office in 1867. His successor was John Wallichs, who was serving as county clerk, recorder and also as clerk of district court in 1868 when the first district court proceedings were held, and he served until his successor Charles Rief was elected in 1879. In 1881 Frank Sears was elected county clerk and clerk of the district court, and two years later the office of clerk of the district court became a separate office and Sears served only as county clerk and re- corder. In 1885 David Ackerman became clerk, and he served five terms. In 1895 he was succeeded by his deputy, Z. B. Part- ridge, who held the office for two terms. C. H. Menck served four years and was succeeded by J. L. Schaupp who was elected in 1901. Geo. H. Poehl took office as county clerk in January, 1906, and served two terms

with A. H. Held as his first deputy and Art Williamson as deputy in his later term. Poehl was elected to a third term, but on May 4, 1910, he resigned and was succeeded by Rich- ard Buenz, who held office until January, 1911, when he took over the newly created office of register of deeds, which he still holds in 1919.

Gus E. Neumann was elected clerk in November, 1910, and held office for three terms, with J. E. Lyle as his deputy. In January, 1917, J. E. Lyle became clerk and he was reelected in November, 1918, for the first four year term from 1919 to 1923, under the new law. His deputy has been R. A. Odum, who has been reappointed for the new term.

CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT

When the separation of this office from that of county clerk was made, John Allan became clerk of the district court and held the office sixteen years, when in 1899 his deputy and brother, Henry Allan, was elected clerk, and held the office for eight years. R. L. Garrett was deputy clerk during the last years of Mr. Allan's administration. Fred C. Langman was elected in 1907 and served nine years, when he was succeeded by his last deputy clerk, Walter H. Rauert, who is the present clerk of the district court. Herman Buckow was deputy under Clerk Rauert the first term, and Miss Bessie Barbee is the present deputy.

elected in 1917 and reelected for term from 1919-1923,

The volume of business attained by the various county offices can be readily grasped by an examination of the amount of work falling upon the county attorney's office and the volume of taxes to be collected by the county treasurer's office.

More criminal cases are handled by the prosecuting attorney of Hall County, William Suhr, than through the prosecutor's office in any other county of the state except Douglas where Omaha is situated, and Lancaster where Lincoln is. More money is collected in fines by the Hall County prosecutor than by the county attorney of any other county in Nebraska outside Lancaster and Douglas counties.

These facts are gleaned from Mr. Suhr's report for the first two years he has been in office.

Mr. Suhr's report is compared with reports obtained from the offices of the county at- torneys in all other counties that equal or approach Hall County in population.

The report declares that the salary of the office in this county is lower than in any county where the business is anywhere near the dimensions of that locality,

The report of Mr. Suhr gives the popula- tion of Hall County as 24,000. The salary of the office in Hall County is $1,400. A com- parison of the business done in this county, with that in a number of other counties is given below.

During the two years Suhr has been in office he has prosecuted forty-five felonies in district court, obtaining thirty-two convictions. One case was dismissed, the defendant being committed to a state hospital for the insane. Eight cases are pending, two defendants have been paroled, two cases have been dismissed because the defendants .were in the military service or entered military service and one defendant was discharged before trial after having served 110 days. The fines collected totalled $1,050. Misdemeanors prosecuted in district court numbered seventeen and eight convictions were obtained. Eight cases are pending. One defendant was paroled. Fines

collected totalled $700. Fourteen cases of a miscellaneous nature were handled in dis- trict court. In police court 175 misdemeanors were handled resulting in 145 convictions. Fines and costs collected amounted to $7,900. Twenty jail sentences were issued. Two ap- peals are pending. Three defendants were acquitted. Thirty-five search warrants were issued. In county court 40 misdemeanors were taken up with 27 convictions resulting. Twelve cases were dismissed and settled. One defendant was acquitted. Fines collected amounted to $925. Three jail sentences were meted out. Twenty-two juvenile cases were prosecuted. Two habeas corpus matters came up. Miscellaneous items include 46 prelimi- naries in police and county court.

The total fines collected under Suhr were $10,575 exclusive of court costs.

In Dodge County of which Fremont is the county seat, with a population of 28,000 or 4,000 more than Hall County, the salary paid is the same as here, $1,400. Yet the number of felonies collected . on felony charges amounted to $451. Misdemeanors handled were 232. The total fines, costs and penalties collected was $4,620 or less than half the fines alone collected in Hall County.

In Custer County, with a population of 30,000 or 6,000 more than this county, only 18 felonies were taken up. One fine was collected, that being for $100. Fifty-four misdemeanors were prosecuted and 22 de- fendants fined. On the face of these facts the business done in Custer County was by far less than in Hall County yet the salary is greater, being $1,800.

Adams County, with a population of 25,000 had only 11 felonies and eight misdemeanors in district court.

In Dawson County only $775 in fines were collected in two years.

THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY

It is impossible to chronicle in a narrative of the space that can be accorded to a de- tailed history of the entire county, an account of the numerous celebrations held year by year in the various communities. But when Hall County celebrated the fiftieth annivers-e

Hall County has played no small part in the matter of furnishing men and support for the government of the commonwealth of Nebraska, and able servants for the func- tions assigned by the federal government to this part of the state.

In the territorial government Hall County played no very important part. During Governor Burt's administration, Hal County was not yet settled by white pioneers. It was during the administration of the territory's second governor that the original colony of 1857 arrived at Grand Island. The third governor, William A. Richardson, resigned December 5, 1858, and but a few days later Secretary J. Sterling Morton, acting as gov- ernor, signed the papers giving legal form to the organization of Hall County. Hall County had no representation, of course, in the first five territorial legislatures, convened in the years 1855, 1857, and extra session (fifth session) in 1858.

The fourth territorial auditor of Nebraska was Robert C. Jordon, whose term of office began August 2, 1858, and that of his suc- cessor, William E. Harvey, began October 8, 1861. Hall County lays no claim to having furnished Nebraska her fourth territorial auditor. In fact it was not until July, 1870,

that the arrival of Robert C. Jordon brought him into the history of Hall County as a part of its development. But Hall County can lay some claim to the man who was the Master of the first Masonic lodge in Hall County, first Senior Warden of the Episcopal church, manager of the famous O. K. store for some years and in every activity a factor such that his name is sprinkled through the various chapters of this history.

Hall County had not been organized very long before it began to take some part in the political affairs of the state. The first ter- ritorial Democratic ticket put forth to the voters of Nebraska was nominated by a con- vention held at Plattsmouth August 18, 1859. Hall and Monroe counties were represented in this convention by Dr. Charles A. Henry.

The chief interest in the convention cen- tered in the nomination of a candidate for delegate for Congress. Dr. George L. Miller of Douglas, of fame in Nebraska as a builder of the Omaha World-Herald, and chief orator of the day upon the occasion when Hall County celebrated her fiftieth anniversary in 1907, started out on the first formal ballot with 22 ballots. But he lost this lead on the fifth ballot and on the tenth ballot General Experience Estabrook won. Dr. Henry was

placed on the territorial central committee formed by this convention to represent Mon- roe and Hall counties. This convention re- nominated Robert C. Jordon for state auditor.

The first Republican territorial convention met in the school house at Bellvue on August 24, 1859. This convention on its tenth ballot nominated Samuel G. Daily for delegate to Congress. But one of its candidates is also interesting to Hall County, in the retrospec- tive. John M. Thayer, afterwards elected governor of the state as a resident of Hall County, started out in second place, on the fourth ballot was within one vote of Daily and wouud up in second place.

The territorial board of canvassers of the election consisted of Governor Black, Chief Justice Hall and U. S. Attorney Leavitt L. Brown. Before this election was settled a controversy arose in which Hall County be- came a very important factor. Estabrook appeared to have the first advantage of the court. Daily later demanded a certificate of election on the ground that the 292 votes of Buffalo County, all returned for Estabrook, were invalid because that county had never been organized. The committee in Congress which acted upon the controversy eventually found that Buffalo County had not been or- ganized and that the election was therefore invalid; that 238 of the 292 votes returned were cast, if at all, at Kearney City, situated on the south side of the Platte River, which stream was the southern boundary of the county as defined by the act of the legislature authorizing its organization, and that "the proof is that there are not over eight houses and not exceeding fifteen residents at Kearn- ney City." Votes from various other counties also figured in the matter and finally Daily won the seat in Congress as the fifth repre- sentative from the territory of Nebraska.
