Lesley:
The main functions of a bailiff in the Western District Court in the 1870s
was: regularly attend court sessions, maintain order in the court, escort
juries, and assist the presiding judge, it seems.
It may be easier to access the short write-up with the key-words: [from
slavery to parker's court].
And the author of this write-up is Juliet Galonska, who is, or was, the
Park Historian at the Fort Smith National Historic Park (Oklahoma?) I am
sure she can provide more info.
