Judge Doane's.
The official court stenographers are
Bird G. Wakeiy, Cal G. Valentine, 7.

young men and rapid-that is as far as
writing short hand is concerned.
Upon the same floor, in front, is the
Office of Sheriff William Coburn, who
before his election to his present office,
was q clerk at the quartermaster's
depot. 1t is he who, every. morning at
$50 raises his voice in the district court
room in the refrain, Hear ye! hear ye!
The honorable district court is now
open pursuant to adjournment" Around
the sheriff's office can generally be
found his deputies, Dorsey b. Houck,
Frank Bandhauer and George Stryker.
At the southern end of the building,
will be found Frank Moores, clerk of
the district court. He is the military
looking gentleman, who reads the jour
nal in the district court room every
morning. Before he was elected to
Office last year upon the republican
ticket, he was connected with the

his deputy, and in an adjoining
room are at least dozen clerks. Many
men and maidens, the same who
may always be seen tripping up the
stairs as the clock Is on the point of
striking nine. Not always strictly
attentive to duty are these latter. The
mischievous youngsters will chew gum,
talk little and fiirt little, but, on the
whole, they are sufficiently attentive to
duty and accomplish the tasks set be-
fore them. In addition to clerks regu-
larly employed in the office, there are
others sent there by abstractors to make
transcripts of the records.
Across the hall is the office Of the
county treasurer, Henry Bolln, who is

republican officials in the buildings.
Associated with him in performing the
duties of tho Office are John
| Groves, his deputy, and Will
