"'The state officers for 1896 were: William J. McConnell, governor; Vincent Bierbower, lieutenant governor...'""John Bixler established a prominent legal practice in North Platte, and Vic Bierbower moved to Idaho, where he held a high state office. Judge William Gaslin, who represented the Fifth Judicial District for eight years, spoke highly of the men who served as prosecuting attorneys in his district and commended them for their part in establishing law and order. Gaslin wrote that Vic Bierbower, who served as a district attorney from 1880 to 1882, “acquitted himself with credit” during his tenure as prosecutor.59 During his first two years as a district attorney in western Nebraska, Bierbower gained convictions in forty-two of the forty-five cases he prosecuted.”
