Matt Day, Criminal Cause File No. 1846: State of Texas v. Jack Day. Nicholson had been elected Weimar city marshal in September 1880. For whatever reason, within three months Allen had replaced him. Allen, who had run for Columbus city marshal in 1879 and for Colorado County sheriff in 1880, was elected Weimar's marshal in 1881, and reelected in 1882. He resigned the office and moved to McCulloch County in December 1882. Tooke was elected to replace him later that month (see Colorado Citizen, May 15, 1879, September 23, 1880, November 18, 1880, December 9, 1880, October 13, 1881, September 28, 1882, December 7, 1882, December 21, 1882).
