good many others. The same body pro-
vIded for the election, by joint ballot, for
each county in the Territory, of Pro-
bate Judge, two County Commissioners
and Sheriff. These were to held their
odfces taII the general election OF 1851. for
members Of lie legislature. The Probate
fudge was chairman Of the board OF COM
imIssioners, and had power to appoint .
clerk, treasurer, coroner, justices OF the
peace and constables. Under this act the
legislature of the Territory on the 25th
of August, 1855, elected 4. s. Huffaker.
now Of Council Grove, Probate Judge,
Hartman b. Elliotts who lived near the
junction, and Charles a. Wilmington, Of
Allen, commissioners, and John b. Fore
man, sheriff. These were the first officers
for the territory now composing Lyon
county. We do not know whether the
board ever appointed the other officers or
not. but probably did not, Sc the people
refused TO recognize the Missouri bogus
statutes. We are Of opinion there were
no taxes paid until 1853. The bogus stat

brother Enterprise, that this county was
first organized in August, 1859. AS soon

Author, Mrs. T. B. 81. Stenho use, was for

describes every phase Of Mormon life, its
evil and its good, its Industry and tts in
