Local City Leadership Shifts and Cattle Showdowns 1880s

Amid records of city governance, Frank Krenz rises as chief engineer at 100 dollars salary while lists reveal mayors, clerks, treasurers and aldermen across 1885 to 1889. Cows run counts reveal 185 to 164 in one vote, 156 to 214 in another, and a prominent artesian well sunk on Public Square reaching 1856 feet with 820 gallons per minute. Night watchmen and appointive posts recur, with repeated mayoral and clerk appointments and contest alderman elections shaping the period.
