Johnson, of Winter creek precinct; all as justices; and Theodore Harshman, of Tabor, as assessor; and Dwight H. Hawley, of Wrinter creek as constable. These bonds were first filed with the parent county of Cheyenne. The county was organized in January, 1889, with the following officers : J. M. King, county judge : Frank Beers, treasurer; T. J. Fanning, sheriff; J. L. Gilmore, surveyor; B. F. Gentry, clerk with D. D. Davis deputy ; C. T. Johnson, superintenden ; W. J Richardson, attorney ; J. A. Burton, coroner.

S. R. Spear, L. L. Christian, and T. D. Deutsch, commissioners. Jahile Keefer was deputy sheriff. It had been a three cornered race and the candidates were elected in the most part by pluralities. L. L. Feltham and Jahile Keefer had divided the opposition to

King for judge. Peter McFarlane and F. A. Garlock had split the opposition to Gentry for clerk. Beers for treasurer had two opponents, Ed. Thornton and Ed. Markland. For sheriff Fanning had Chas. W. Ford and Geo. W. Davis as opponents. B. F. Knapp alone matched steel with C. T. Johnson ; A. B. Wood and J. B. Towne appeared on the ballot in opposition to Burton for coroner; Bruce McCoskey was candidate against Gilmore; C. M. Woodard and M. L. Bishop were candidates against Richardson for county attorney; and there were six candidates contending against the successful three for commissioners in the names of Ellis Lowry, D. D. Johnson, F. J. Irvine, Charles Bouton, Bennett Chapman and Samuel J. Clarke. The tickets were represented as democratic, republican and peoples. The peoples indorsed C. T. Johnson, the democratic candidate for superintendent, and J. L. Gilmore the republican candidate for surveyor, easily electing both. Of the candidates elected King and Richardson were on the peoples ticket ; Gentry, Richardson and Spear were republicans ; and Beers, Fanning.
