The county was divided into four voting precincts only, and the clerk was instructed to have ballots prepared and the election was called for November fourth. The precincts named were : War Bonnet, with the polling place at S. E. ranch ; Bowen precinct, with polling place in the building owned by T- G. Morris; White river, with the polling place at the residence of C. H. Rigdon, and Running Water, with the polling place at the Robert Neece ranch.

Charles H. Andrews & Company furnished the rooms for the clerk and treasurer at a rental of ten dollars a month. E. D. Satterlee and Company furnished the rooms for the judge and sheriff for seven dollars per mouth, which goes to show that the profiteering landlord had not at that time reached the seal of county government in Sioux county. The county clerk was instructed to request C. L. Tubbs to make an estimate of the costs of necessary county furniture and to immediately provide six plain chairs for his own office, and two chairs for the judge's office and one high stool.

At the election of November fourth the following officials were elected: Judge, C. E. Verity; clerk, Charles C. Jameson; treasurer, Edmund C. Lockwood ; attorney, Edward D. Satterlee ; superintendent, Benjamin F. Thomas; sheriff, J. F. Pfost; surveyor, William M. Pennington; coroner, Charles H. Andrews, and commissioners. J. G. Morris, A. M. McGinley and Daniel Klein. The county seat was located at Harrison.

On November twenty-fourth the county official paper was named for the first time -- the Sioux County Herald. At the commissioners' meeting of that date, the necessary furniture for the new county was ordered of C. L. Tubbs.
