The Bench and Bar

Sioux count)' has never had the distinction of naming a district judge of her own citizenship. But she has participated in the naming of distinguished and excellent judges who have presided over her courts. Back in the beginning, Judge Gaslin used to handle without gloves any of Sioux county citizens who appeared in his court at Sidney. From the fifth district, the tenth district next included Sioux county. Samuel L. Savage of Kearney was appointed, then Francis G. Hamer was elected. The twelfth district was created in eighteen eighty-seven, and M. P. Kinkaid was appointed judge, being elected later. In eighteen ninety-one the fifteenth district came into existence. A. W. Crites was appointed to divide the work of the district. Alfred Bartow of Chadron succeeded Crites, and in eighteen ninety-six W. H. Wrestover became judge in the place of Bartow. J. J. Harrington took the place of Kinkaid in nineteen hundred. The sixteenth judicial district was created in nineteen twelve, including Sioux county, and Judge Westover still presides when district court is held in this county.
