I n 1883 he held his first office having been appointed deputy marshal of 'Sprlngvllle. It was not a very lacrative poeition, bat the labor of U was right In line with whit be Is doing now as sheriff, and1 judging tnm his record the paet two yeare, It was certainly conducive of good results, and it was here he began to get experience of the right kind fur a man who was fj become the falnre sheriff and chief detcettve of a county so Important as this, the third In state. In 1891 he was elected Justice of the peace and the following year ha was md supervisor, which position be held until he woe el cleJ marshal of Sprlngvllle city In 189.1.
