ANNIVERSARY OF
GREAT BLIZZARD
Fifty Yea" Ago Sunday Great Storm
j Was Dying Caused Loss of
Property and Life.
On April 13, 14 and 15, 1873, the
famous "Easter storm" swept Ne-
braska. The entire western country
waited V a distu
ff -ed to have its path of greatest
intensity across this state. The wind
blew with terrific force for three
days, causing an immense amount of
loss to live stock and property and
the destruction of considerable num
ber of human lives.
The state was in its early pioneer
period. Most of the houses were
light, shell like affairs or sod houses.
, dugouts or log cabins. The snow was
i driven with great force into these i
I poorly constructed buildings and
' caused more suffering than a similar
storm could at the present time.
All communication was interrupt
ed for several days. The Union Pa
cific railroad company lost fifty miles !
of telegraph line in a solid block west
Wood River. It was some time be-
il could be estimated,
small structures were
and many
destroyed,
Nearly all of the residents of the
au-iTnis is therefore the fiftieth anni -
m rt tin rrn .
The Literary department of the.Rhould ho rione with the nroceeds of
Plattsmouth Woman's club enjoyed;

Plattsmouth attorney. The suit has ber of notes in the settlement of an man was called to his final reward.
JMarie tsrazeai. iormeriy airs, ira
Bates, as plaintiff, and Lemon Bates
and others as defendants.
Ordinarily quieting title suits are
not of general interest, but this one
possesses some features which make
it one of the best known real estate
law suits in years, if it is carried
through court, as seems to be the in
tention of the parties at this time.
The suit, according to the petition
filed, runs against land which is own
ed by Mike Bauer and the heirs of
the lata Adam Kloos, of Nebraska
City, although others are also named
in the papers just filed. Messrs. Kloos
and Bauer bought a part of the is
land in 18S1 from one Eugenius Wil
helra who, the record shows got title
from D. J. Hinterleister who, in turn
received his deed from the United
States government in 1858.
For years Mr. Bauer cut wood off
the tract, which is about two miles
southeast of the city, and sold it in
Nebraska City. Several hundred acres
of the island, too, have been cultivat
ed for more than forty years, and the
remainder consists of sand bar and
land overgrown by brush and small
trees. j
One Ira Bates, Mrs. Brazeal's form-i
er husband, maintained a home on
the land for several years. After his:
death his wife remarried and it is in
Jior name and for her minor children
that the suit has been started, it is
raid.
B. D. Tait and the Sand estate also
owned a portion of the island at one
lime, but until the records are check
ed carefully it is difficult to deter
mine just what title they have, as
the rSver has torn away here and
. ato?'ye nnUI
the original holdings have been
changed with the years.
There is some dispute too among
attorneys as to the exact location of
the land. One attorney said yester-
day he believes the land is in Iowa
intead of being a part of Nebraska.
The Otoe county records, however,
would indicate that it is Nebraska
roil or at least has been so by "ad
verse possession" for a half century
or more.
"7 , k ! i

not seem to be inhabited.

CITY MAKES IT
HARD FOR THOSE
EVADING TAX
Chief of Police and City Clerk Bound
Up Parties Who Have Failed
to Pay License Fees.
From Tuesday's Daily.
Yesterday afternoon was a hectic
time in the office of City Clerk A. H.
Duxbury, when the clerk and Chief
of Police Jones were busy rounding
uo the visitine lunk dealers and
making them come across and in this
they were assisted by Judge Weber.
In the morning two junk men
from the state metropolis to our
north arrived here and paid over to
the city clerk the sum of $25 requir
ed for license to operate in buying
the aforesaid junk, and to the clerk
in conversation the two men impart -
ed the information that there w;ere
four other men engaged in the same
line of work in the city and as they
had failed to pay a license the chief
of police at once started out and in
a short time had the men lined up.
The scene of action was transferred
to the court of Judge Weber where
for violating the city ordinance the
four men were assessed $10 and costs
and compelled to either pay the li
cense or cease doing business.
The activity of the police and clerk
in the last few days has resulted In
the paying over to the city treasury
of many iron men in return for the
privileges of doing business in our
peaceful little city.
