H. A. Chilcott and wife, of near
Union, were in the city Thursday;
and while here were callers at the
journal on ice. where they spent a
short time very pleasantly.
There are few people living in this
city have known or realized what a
part in the romance of the great west
the old Fricke residence property at
fith and Vine street has played, and
I which is now being torn down to
make way for the new oil station of
the Collins Oil company.
This houe has stood for over a
half century on the present site and
years before was erected by that
strange charac ter in the pioneer west,
Peter A. Sarpy. Frenchman, and one
of the earliest white settlers in the
Nebraska country. We know more or
less of the life of Sarpy from reading I
the histories of the early days on the
plains but there are still a few in this
portion of the state that can recol
lent this dashing figure of the prac-!
tical ruler of this section for many
years and whose life was interwoven
with the early settlements from Om
aha as far south as this city.
Peter A. Sarpy, a man of French
descent, came from St. Louis to the
region near where Bellevue now
stands about the year 1S23 and his
life was spent practically in this lo-
eality. He married into the Indian!
tribes that lived here then and prac-i
t ieallv 'became the undisputed ruler
of the Platte valley country and the
early outfitting points in this terri
tory. He was a trapper and trader
and gradually grew in wealth and
did much toward developing the
country and incidentally had more or
less business connection with the lit
tle frontier post of Plattsmouth in an
earlv day.
The activity of Sarpy was
$5,214 Damages for Injury Re
ceived in July 5, 1921.
From Saturday's Dally.
George H. South of this city was
awarded damages in the sum of $5,
214 in the V. S. district court at Lin
coln yesterday against the Missouri
Pacific railroad.
This action has been pending for
some time and the trial of the case
occupied all this week, the interest
of Mr. South being looked after by
Attorney W. G. Kieck of this city.
The case against the Missouri Pa
cific was occasioned by the accident
that befell Mr. South on July 5;
1!21. when in company with his
wife he was motoring along the high
way north of Union and was pass
ing under a viaduct when a train of
the defendant company passed over
the tracks on top of the viaduct and
as the tender passed a lrcrge chunk
of coal fell and struck Mr. South on
the head, inflicting injuries from
which he has failed to recover and
still suffers from the effect of the in
jury. The outcome of the case is very
pleasing to Mr. South and to Mr.
Kieck who has devoted much effort
to the case and has had full charge
of the trial.

alone confined to the Nebraska ter
ritory but his influence was felt in
the little settlement of St. Mary's on
the Iowa side of the Missouri river,
almost opposite Bellevue and it was
here that the old house we have men
tioned was first erected, and where
the pioneer trader become involved
in the history of Plattsmouth.
There was in the company of those
who served Peter A. Sarpy a Captain
Kuhl. former Prussian army captain
and upon whom the pioneer depend
ed a great deal and so much that he
was Invested with the position of
private secretary to the pioneer and
located at Plattsmouth where Sarpy
in the early sixties operated a grist
mill near where the present Burling
ton shops now stand. It was while
Captain Kuhl was lure looking after
the interests of Sarpy that the pat
ron decided the captain should have
a home more suited to him and ac
cordingly the house that had been
built at St. Mary's was torn down,
each timber hewn in the rude lumber
mills of the frontier being numbered
and loaded on a ferry boat and brot
to this city. This was in the year
1S6S and the lumber for the house
was landed at the old steamboat
landing at the foot of Main street.
and where Walter J. and A. W. White
then you ii: men. were given the con
tract for hauling the material to the
site at 6 th and Vine street where it
was unloaded and the house erected
to be occupied by Mr. Kuhl. When re
built there was a layer of brick plac
ed in the walls of the house to make
it warmer and more solid to with
stand the elements.
There are very few houses older
than this one in the community and
in fact about the only one that can
really excell it in years is the frame
house just east of the Propst garage
building. This house was built in
1S59 by F. S. White, then a new
comer to Plattsmouth and there the
family spent a number of year3 be
fore building a more elegant home,
and when in the course of the prog
ress of events this building is forced
to move the last of the pioneer homes

thing that were.

the country on Monday evening when
