Harned's service was for twenty.six years
continuously, while that of Mr.. Duncan
was for thirty-six. He said that during
his term OF service the largest number oil

one time was twenty.six The legal
number was twenty four, but at one time
they made new district out OF a part oil
TIE Custer district and elected two mag.
istrates from it which run the number Ia
twenty-six in the county. However,
these two magistrates only held for a
half term and there were still twenty
four magistrates on the bench until the
