H. Sigler soon after this hung out his sign as a general practicing attorney, and S. P. DeLatour and E. D. Hamilton opened offices for the practice of their profession in the early nineties. Following them came next in order Jacob Keifer and George McAllister, who was afterwards state representative several times, and county attorney a number of years. He became a leader in the legal profession and gained a high reputation for his ability. The firm of Lee & Lee appeared in Chappell for a time as members of the legal profession, then they left not to be heard of again. E. D. Hamilton was a qualified attorney but he did not practice law long as his talents ran to finance, a field in which he met with great success. E. E. Jones, better known as "Double E." Jones, opened an office as a lawyer but so far as is known never tried a case. W. A. Burnett also appeared in the list of attorneys at one time but like many of the otbers is gone. At the present time there are but three qualified attorneys in Deuel county and all are holding office : H. R. Busse, is county judge; Isaac Woolf, is special acting county judge in a number of cases wherein Judge Busse has been an attorney : L. O. Pfeiffer is county attorney, a position he has held for fourteen years and still has another term ahead of him, which shows in what esteem he is held by the people of Deuel county. Isaac Woolf has served Deuel county as judge for twenty-eight years and his duties as special judge will extend the period for a year or more. A remarkable record for one man to hold.
