This was day of greetings and fare
wells over at the county Jail and in
other offices of the county, as this
morning the new year of the county
officials began. Tt was not much of a
moving day. as the only change
made in the officials of the county was
at the county jail, where Andrew
Stahl moved in as sheriff and DR.. 4. w.
B. Achen moved out and retired to pri-
vate life
There was little activity at the coun-
ty Jail as DR.. and Mrs. Achen had com
pleted their work Of moving on Satur-
day and sheriff Stahl and his wife had
nearly all of their goods in the Jail be-
fore the sheriff formally took charge
at midnight Sunday night. There was
not lot of ceremony in connection
with the transfer. DR.. Achen had his
work all cleaned up and there was only
two prisoners in the jail to be receipted
for.
Retiring Under Sheriff Nicholas Fonk
who has been one of the most faithful
employees ever in the county's service
had gone to his home in Paris on Sun
day afternoon, but after month IS rest
he plans to return TO Kenosha and 60
into business here. Under Sheriff Fonk
was succeeded by e J. Stahl as under
sheriff, and a. w. Fries was in charge
of the desk at the jail this morning as
turnkey.
Sheriff Stahl sent to the clerk of the
court this morning his first list of APP
pointments for deputy sheriffs and the
jewelers. are busy today selling bright
new stars to the men who had been
named as deputies. It was general
clean out at the county jail as not one
of the men who had been active ABOUT
the Jail during the Achen administra-
ton was retained as deputy under
the new sheriff. The new sheriff had
busy day of it as there was the usual
number of people around looking for
an appointment as deputy and it is
probable that the list of aides will be
swelled considerable during the next
few days.
Over at the county building there
was no excitement in connection with
the beginning of the new year. in fact,
there was nothing to show that new
year was starting. County Clerk Jones,
Register of Deeds Torrey, Clerk of the
Circuit Court DeDeimar, County Treas
urer Hartman, Surveyor O'Brien and
Coroner Millager were all reelected at
the last election and when they took
their Offices for the new two year terms
the same deputies who had served them
during the former term were officially
reappointed. The officers were all busy
getting out their final reports for the
old year. However, there were flowers
on some of the desks and cigars were
being passed out to callers to signify
the fact that the officials themselves
recognized the fact that they were
starting new terms. 1t the same time
District Attorney A. L. Drury began
his new year in Office and with it his
second term. The district attorney was
busy getting ready for court work
which starts on January 18th, and he
had no time to consider any celebrating
of the opening of the new term. There
will be no changes in the Office of the
district attorney with the beginning of
the new term.
As all The officers are experienced in
the work of their Offices the beginning
of the new term will make no difference
to the people of the county.
