Incident to the wedding of Mrs.

Engelkemeier recently, a large num

the week's work had been done, the
celebration was continued along into
the night with a dance in which all
joined and a most pleasant evening
was had. Congratulations and good
wishes were expressed by the happy
assemblage and in departing all voic
ed the further wish for a long and
happy wedded life together.
Library Completed This Week
The Nehawka public library" an
achievement of interest to everyone
in the community, young and old
has now been fully completed and is
ready for the public to use. Its com
pletion fulfills a dream of long stand
ing of some of the women's clubs of
the town and stands as a testimonial
to their untiring efforts along this
line. The one thing that brought suc
cess much more quickly that would
otherwise have been possible was the
advent of CWA in Cas3 county last
winter. The library backers saw in
that an opportunity to move rapidly
ahead with their plans and secured
approval thereof as one of the most
worthy of all CWA projects under
taken in the county. From then on,
the work moved rapidly, although the
curtailment of hours and subsequent
shutting down of, CWA work lefrthe
job still unfinished and a burden on
the hands of the sponsors to get com
pleted. Willing hands took up the

remaining task of manual labor re
quired to complete it, while the ladies
redoubled their efforts at raising the
reauired money for material. How
well they have succeeded may best be
realized by a visit to this new build
ing that will house the reading mat
ter books, magazines and newspap
ers for the people of the community
to read and enjoy.
Constructed of logs, it is a
fitting monument to pioneer life in
the great mid-west and a building
that will serve its purpose for many
years to come.

Tells of Trip
to California
in Gold Rush
Miss Olive Gass Relates Experiences
of Father in the Bush West
in '48 and '49.
In connection with the parade of
the '49ers at our fall festival,
shall give an authentic account of
one of these wagon-trains, as told me
by my father, Mr. Perry P. Gass. At
the time my father joined the wagon-
train, lie was a young, unmarried
man, about 20 years old, and lived in
Ohio.
He and Dr. William Wintersteen
were studying medicine at the same
school. But my father contracted a
"fever" that was incurable, and that
was the "California Gold Fever." He
abandoned the study of medicine,
and joined an overland wagon-train
for California.
There were two principal ways of
travel. One was in ships, around
Cape Horn, and the other was by
wagon-trams drawn by oxen or
horses, by the "overland" route.
This wagon-train left Ohio and
traveled directly to St. Louis. They
crossed the Missouri river at a point
between where Kansas City and St.
Joe now stand. Then they took a
westerly course, and veering a little
to the north, they came up into Ne
braska, and passed the military post
of Ft. Kearney. They then started
on the long journey to Salt Lake
City, through a country inhabited
only by Indians. They rested at Salt
Lake City for a week at which time
they had the privilege of hearing
Brigham Young preach. They then
started on the last lap of their jour
ney to California.
The trip across Xevada proved to
be the hardest of the entire journey.
The rough and sandy deserts of Ne
vada male the trip unbelievably diffi
cult. In traveling down the Hum
boldt valley, hundreds of travelers,
oxen and horses perished.
A remnant of the number who had
started across the plains finally
reached the Sacramento river in
California where gold had been dis
covered. When they arrived, they found
that thousands of young men had
preceded them. In fact, they came
in such numbers that in 1S49, one
year from the time of the discovery
of gold, the people of California set
up a state government, without au
thority from congress.
The members of the wagon-train
to which my father belonged, fol
lowed a tributary of the Sacramento
river up into the very heart of the
Sierras. There they made a camp and
laid 600 feet of flume for hydraulic
mining.
Xot many letters were sent in
those days as postage was so high.
Often the men in California had no
stamps, but the postmaster would
"receipt" you the face of the en
velope for ' the amount of postage
which was sometimes 20c and even
40c on a letter. But my father felt
that he got his money's worth, as he
wrote from 10 to 20 pages to "the
girl he left behind him."
But life was not so dull, although
camps were widely separated, be
cause "troupers" from the east went
from camp to camp giving entertain
ments of song, dance and magic, and
gold was literally thrown at their
feet.
My father's chase for gold was
much like the legendary chase for
the elusive pot of gold at the end
of the rainbow.
In 1852 ha returned to his home
in Ohio, by way of the isthmus of
Panama.
OLIVE GASS.
RETURNS FROM CAMP
James Larson, who has been at
the Civilian Conservation Corps camp
at Lanesboro, Minnesota, returned
home Saturday. Mr. Larson has en
joyed very much the work which
was largely reforestation and erosion
projects in the southeastern part of
Minnesota. Mr. Larson was the first
sergeant of his company and received
the highest commendation for his
work in directing the working ol
the company.

FUNERAL OF MRS. MENDENHALL
The funeral services for Mrs. Wil
liam T. Mendenhall were held on
Sunday afternoon at 2:30 at the
First Presbyterian church and at
tended by a large number of the old
friends and neighbors who came to
pay their last tribute of esteem to
their friend.
Dr. H. G. McClusky, pastor of
the church had charge of the service
and brought to the members of the
family words of consolation and hope
in the reuniting of the lives separated
here on earth, in the glories of to
morrow.
Mrs. J. R. Reeder and Frank A.
Cloidt gave two numbers, "Sometime
We'll Understand," and "BeautifuJ
Isle of Somewhere," Mrs. II. F. Goos
playing the accompaniment.

cemetery, west of the city.
VISIT AT CHICAGO
Miss Mathilde Soennichsen and
Mrs. Frank R. Gobelman departed

ing the trip by auto and will stop at

of Progress. Miss Soennichsen while
at Chicago will visit the markets for

AUEURN WINS GAME
. The Auburn team of the Nemaha
valley league were the winners over
the Plattsmouth Red Sox Sunday at
uburn by the score of 9 to 1. The
game was played in a miniature tor
nado as the wind was high and dust
obscuring the vision of the players
a great deal of the time.
Alex Schliscke scored the lone run
of the Sox in the sixth when he
doubled and scored on Svoboda's cut.
Auburn did all their scoring in
two innings, the second and seventh
when the wind caused several passes
to be given that resulted in runs.
