Sheriff Elect Names Men Who Will
Be Associated With Him Next
Year at the County Jail
vElTcH FOR UNDER SHERIFF
Deputies Are Named From All Parts of
the County With Large Mum
Der From the City-Many
Former Deputies Named

Sheriff Elect William H. Gunter of
Bristol, who will begin the duties of
his new Office on the first Monday in
January today made public his list of
appointments for the coming year and
today the men who will serve in the
various capacities under the new sheriff
are being notified of their appointment.
The list of the appointments follows:
For Under-sheriff- J. H. Veitch
For Turnkey-Ward Shields of Bris-
toll.
Deputies from Kenosha-Fred Palm
green, Fred Becker, Fred Reinold, Fred
Hanks, Henry H. Timme, Jacob Eifer,
Charles Turnock, Edward @. Alleman,
Frank Willems and William Schmitz
Deputies from the county-John G.
Dowse, of Pleasant Prairie; Herman
Sceloske of Salem, James Nielsen of
Somers; Charles L. Marsh of Bristol,
and Nicholas J. Fonk of Paris.
No appointment has been made for
the towns of Brighton, Randall or
Wheatland and the sheriff elect stated
that he thought that the other depu-
ties would be able to take care of these
towns.
The list of deputies contains many
new names and it will be noticed that
many men both in the city and county
who have been pretty we'll known as
deputy sheriffs in other years are not
included in the list. It is possible that
the sheriff elect will follow the usual
custom and name Retiring Sheriff
Pfennig as deputy when his term ex-
pires in January.
The naming of former sheriff DR.. j.
I'll. Veitch as under sheriff came as a
surprise to many of the politicians, but
DR.. Veitch was most active for Gunter
both in the primary campaign and in
the final campaign ond the coming
sheriff has taken good care Of all Of his
political friends Ward Shields who is
now in charge of the county Jail as
turnkey, has been re-oppointed and this
appointment will give general satisfac-
tion. While a young man Mr.. Shields
has shown that he is entirely capable
Of handling the office He was named
by Sheriff Pfennig a little over a month
ago and his work was largely respon-
sible for his being retained in Office by
the new sheriff.
1t is supposed that the usual number
of ornamental" appointments of
deputies will be made later or after
the sheriff goes into office as many of
the men who have sought the privilege
of wearing star in the past are out
looking for an appointment. The Office
Of deputy carries no salary and the
pay Of The men is entirely dependent
on the generosity of the sheriff. How
ever, there are always a lot Of men
looking for the places and the sheriff
is usually able to settle his campaign
debts by these appointments.
The other county officials have not
as yet named their assistants for the
coming year, but it is not thought that
there will be any great changes among
the men at the county building as these
men have been working together for
a number of gears. County Treasurer
Frank Marx will name a deputy this
year and it is thought that the choice
will fall upon John Zens who served
as secretary Of the Republican County
Committee during the past campaign.
