From the Winfield Courier, February 6, 1874,

"A bill has also been introduced to create the county of Elk, out of the north half of Howard. It is waiting the action of the House."

This bill failed and no further action was taken that year.

The bill language called for the retention of Howard County in the south.
"If one of the many corrupt...county-seat contests must be taken by way of illustration, the choice of Howard County, Kansas, is ideal." Dr. Everett Dick, The Sod-House Frontier, 1854-1890.
"One of the most expensive county-seat wars in terms of time and money lost..." Dr. Homer E Socolofsky, KSU
