HISTORY OF SAUK COUNTY
It was then ordered that Sauk Prairie Election Precinct consist of road districts Nos. 1, 2 and 3, and Baraboo election precinct of Nos. 4 and 5. The judges and places of election were also named. Three asses- sors were moreover appointed for the different road districts-Jonathan Hatch, Harris Searle and Luther Peck.
SEALS OF THE COUNTY BOARDS
Another item of interest: The clerk of the board was directed to procure a seal from Milwaukee, or elsewhere, for the use of the con- missioners, "the design of which shall be an engraving of a breaking- team, with one or more yoke of oxen and plow in the foreground, with the words surrounding the margin 'Scal of the Board of County Com- missioners, Sauk County, Wisconsin Territory.' " Upon the introduc- tion of the township system in 1849 the seal was remodeled so as to conform to the size of a silver dollar and bearing a sheaf of wheat, a plow and a grain rake, the design being surrounded by the words, "Board of Supervisors of Sauk County, Wisconsin."
Lyman Crossman, Cyrus Leland and Daniel B. Crocker entered into bonds, with accepted sureties, to erect a two-story frame court house, 20 by 30 feet in dimensions, on the public square at Prairie du Sac. A jail was ordered built at a later date, but, with the loss of the county seat, the latter enterprise was never carried out.

THIRD ELECTION PRECINCT CREATED
Until Wisconsin was about to enter the union of states, Sauk County continued to be divided into two election precinets-Sauk Prairie and Baraboo-but on April 5, 1848, a third was created called Bluff Precinct. It was bounded as follows: Beginning at the town line between towns 10 and 11, running south two miles; thence commencing with the county line and running west to the west line of towns 10 and 11; thence north five miles and cast to the easterly line of Sauk County. The County of Adams was also elected into an election precinet.
FINAL ORGANIZATION UNDER TOWNSHIP GOVERNMENT
On the 10th of January, 1849, under the new state government, Sauk County was divided into the six towns of Honey Creek, Prairie du Sac, Kingston, Eagle, Brooklyn and Baraboo. The accompanying outline map indicates their boundaries more definitely, to the average reader, than any word description conld convey. Elections were ordered to be held in each township on the 3d of April following.
The house of Jonathan W. Harris was designated as the place for holding the first election in the town of Honey Creek, which resulted in the choice of the following: Supervisors, James Cass (chairman), Dewitt Tionghton and Joseph Davis; clerk, II. B. Stames; treasurer, J. A. Taylor; assessor, Henry Keifer; school superintendent, J. N. Cassel. . The Upper Town was designated as the place for holding the election in Prairie du Sac.

The election for the Town of Eagle resulted: Supervisors, James Christie (chairman), J. W. Henthom and Reuben Ward; clerk, L. B. Swallow; treasurer, Hiram Hubbard; school superintendent, Josiah Hunter; assessor, George Randall.
It was ordered by the commissioners that the first election for the town of Brooklyn be held in the court house in the village of Adams (Baraboo). The choice of the electors fell upon John B. Crawford (chairman of the Board of Supervisors), Solomon Soule and Lyman Clark, members; D. K. Noyes, town clerk; William Griffiths, treasurer ; A. A. Noyes, assessor, and Harvey Canfield, school superintendent.
The house of D. C. Reed was designated as the place for holding the election for officers of the Town of Baraboo, and resulted in the selection of the following : Supervisors, D. C. Reed (chairman), William Adams and Lewis Butterfield; elerk, William MeClung; assessor, Don Carlos Barry; treasurer, Thompson Shepard; school superintendent, Patrick Hickey.
Under the new system of civil organization, the chairman of the town boards of supervisors became members of the county board. The following, its first members, met in special session on the 13th of August, 1849: James Christie, John B. Crawford, James Cass, James J. Water- bury, Nathaniel Perkins and David C. Reed. On the 13th of November an election took place for county officers resulting in the choice of Alexander Ostrander for district attorney, Charles Halasz for treasurer, George Cargel for clerk of the board, and W. H. Canfield for surveyor. At this election twenty-six votes were east in favor of equal suffrage for colored people and eighty-one against.
JUNEAU COUNTY ATTACHMENTS
At the session of the Legislature of 1849, all of township 15 and the south half of township 14, extending from the west line of the present Connty of Juneau, east to the Wisconsin River, were attached to the County of Sauk, and so remained until the session of 1853. This nine- mile strip in width, north and south, included nearly all the settlements at that time in the Lemonweir Valley. The first election of officers in that district was held at Delton, Sauk County, in 1851, when Chauncey B. Strong was elected justice of the peace-and was probably the first justice to serve either in that valley, or what was afterward Juneau County.
In the year 1852 an election precinet was established at Necedah (now Juneau County), by order of the board of supervisors of Sauk

County, to which Adams and Juneau were then attached. An election for state and county officers was held the same fall. At this election Sauk County polled quite a heavy democratie majority, but Adams County, thinking best to act a little independent in political matters, cast nearly a unanimous vote for the whig candidates for county officers, electing the latter by a fair majority. This result, not proving satisfac- tory to the democratic politicians of Sauk County, hastened the organiza- tion of Adams as an independent county.
CREATION OF OTHER TOWNS
On the 8th of January, 1850, were created the new towns of New Buffalo and Flora, irregular divisions in the northeastern part of the county. Several sections were also taken away from Brooklyn and added to Eagle. In November, Honey Creek received an addition, after which it was divided by the erection of Spring Green, and Dellona was set off from Baraboo; in the following month Reedsburg was created from parts of Baraboo and Eagle, the Town of Freedom erected and Eagle blotted from the map.
The year 1851 was also prolific in township changes. Lemonweir was set off from territory in what is now Juneau County; what is now the Town of Woodland was annexed to the Town of Reedsburg; Marston was formed out of what are now Woodland, La Valle, Ironton and Wash- ington; what is now the southeast seetion of Delton was taken from Flora and annexed to New Buffalo; Dells was organized from territory in the Juneau County of today, and the boundaries of Lemonweir also underwent a change.
In 1852 the Town of Greenfield was organized from Brooklyn, and Jackson and Quincy were formed in what is now Juneau County; other changes were made in Dells and Lemonweir, of that county; the present Town of Winfield was set off; Dells was changed to the Town of Kildare; Freedom was increased by two sections; an effort to divide the Town of Prairie du Sae was defeated. In December of this year three sections belonging to the Town of New Buffalo were annexed to the Town of Flora ; Hillsdale, which was taken from Lemonweir, then embraced the north half of the towns of La Valle and Woodland. At the same session of the board of supervisors the name of Brooklyn was changed to Baraboo, and the southern division of the Town of Prairie dn Sae was christened Lower Prairie du Sac.
The name of the Town of Flora was changed to Fairfield in Decent- ber, 1853.
Reedsburg was divided in November, 1854, and Westfield created; Kingston gave place to Merrimack; which had been set off from Reeds- burg. and Franklin was set off from Honey Creek.
In December, 1855, Washington was separated from Marston, then

embracing the two southern tiers of sections in the present Town of Ironton.
Woodland was set off from Marston in January, 1857, and in Deeem- ber of the same year Troy was organized from Honey Creek and Spring Green and Excelsior from Dellona and Freedom; Baraboo also drew six sections from Freedom at about the same time.
In November, 1859, the Town of Ironton was created from parts of Marston and Washington, and in November, 1861, the name of the Town of Kingston was changed to that of Sumpter.
From time to time there have been other slight changes in the boun- daries of the towns, but no new ones have been created since 1861, the number remaining at twenty-two.
