the judges appointed and the places Of
election established, and then theclerk
of the board concludes his minutes
with:
The Meeting now adjourned to Oct
9th. I certify the above to be a true
record OF the proceedings in said meet
ing.
At the first meeting in November
record is made Of the returns being
received from the election but there is
no mention of the names of those who
were elected. The judges and clerks
Of election we're allowed their fees and
none of them received more than 50.
Chas. Hansing received $40 for
carrying the election returns from
| Redwood to New Ulm and Edward
Hunter was given $3.50 for like service
from Yellow Medicine.
With the beginning of the year 1857
There seems to have been change in
the officer Of the county and the record
of the meeting reads:
present: Albert futile and Jacob
Brust. A letter from Anton Klaus was
read by the clerk, containing the resig-
nation of said Klaus to the Office of
commissioner. The case was consia-
cred and the two commissioners pres
ent concluded to supply the vacancy
by a special election After order
| ing the election and providing for the
notification Of the original judges Of
| election, the board adjourned until the
|.23d day Of February because the
board was not yet organized Henry
Behnke, Clerk.
The members Of the board met on the
23d as specified and it is recorded that
all members we're present. At this
meeting it is recorded that ga petition
/ OF many residents Of the county of
Brown was presented, praying the
| board of commissioners to make any
provision, in order to destroy the
black birds"
commissioner futile replied to said
petition that he thought the board had
not the authority to pass such an act
without the consent of the whole popu-
lation of Brown county and the proper
way would be to notify the people, if
anyone was against said act Unani-
mously adopted and the clerk ordered
to make out those notices and have
them posted up by the sheriff. T"
/ At the meeting in April it is recor-
ded that "Francis Baasen presented a
writ concerning ferry license for a
ferry across the Minnesota river,
praying the board not to grant ferry
license to anybody else, because he
would present petition for the above
/ license issued in the name Of the Ger
man Land Association, and all neces.
sary afidavits. It was read and
4 adopted.
'sThe petition concerning the poi.
soning of blackbirds was reconsidered
and whereas VIM. Pfaender had prom
! ised to furnish the poison, the board
concluded to use the poison three time
in this season: From the 10th to the
18th of May, second in the wheat har.
vest and third in the month of Octo.

the question of roads and at the meet
ing in July we find that, "W. Shard

I New Ulm and Mankato road to inter-
i sect the New Ulm and Cottonwood
road. The said w. Shard and n.
Meyerding were appointed examiners

J, they could not examine said road, be-
Icause they had found mistake in the

: corrected without altering anything
else on the petition because all per-
