Pionen History of Polk County before tho Pioneer Society at Rick-, real I, June 23, 18U0, I get a descrip tion of tiie boundaries of the county: “At tiie legislative session of Decem ber, 1845, Polk county was created, described as being south of Yam hill, comprising all the territory be tween tho Wilamettc river and the Pacific ocean and extending from tiie southern boundary of Yatnhiil county, which line extended due west of George Gay’s house, to the northern boundary of California.’’ J. D. LEE. Max Goldman Deals in (Polk County Observer.) To the Editor: Tho contribution of data by Mrs. Joseph E. Sibley rel ative to Polk county’s first court house is certainly valuable and in teresting. It starts me to thinking. I remember well the shocking mur HIDES der of Cyrenius C. Hooker by Win. PELTS Everman; also of seeing the funeral train of conveyances tliut bore his WOOL remains to their burial place. The FURS incident most vivid in my mind was MOHAIR the baptism of Everman in the old CASCARA BASK courthouse by Bov. M. Goodell. n VEAL Presbyterian minister. Just as.the usual church service PORK was being concluded, as I supposed, BEEF i heard a strange clanking sound POULTRY J and looking round snw a man in BUTTER iron shackles accompanied by the sheriff.

A few months later it was rcpnlred FURNISHINGS for the execution of A. Wimple, who DRY GOODS had murdered his wife in Cooper Hollow. My recollection diilers from Mrs. CASH OR TRADE Sibley's narrative, for it seems to me that those executions were in 1852 instead of 1851. My impression is SW OPE & SW OPE that the best part o f the old court LAW YERS house was sold to W C. Brown, the pioneer merchant, who utilized it I. 0. 0. F. Building for his farm house.
