Interview with
Globe Trotter-Frontiersman
Capt. Jack Lloyd Relates Thrilling
Story Now on His Way to
the West Coast.
Captain Jack Lloyd, 69 year old
soldier of fortune adventurer, veter
an of many wars and revolutions, in
ternational headline hunter, who is
hailed the world over as "Burning
Daylight" was a visitor in Platts
mouth over Monday night. While
in the city the veteran called on the
editorial staff of the Journal, giving
us the highlights of his eolorful life,
then showed us his more than a thou
sand clippings gleaned from the lead
ing papers of the country, then an
nounced that he was heading fcr the
"west coast" where he hopes to spend
the summer months before returning
to Florida where he has spent his
winters for the past 20 years.
Captain Lloyd arriving here Sun
day paid a visit to the Flower Show
and was delighted with the beauty
and charm that he found there. He
was given a trip over the city and
states that from a natural beauty and
.the wonderful views from the hills,
that this section has it on all com
munities that he visited on his way
north.
According to Lloyd, booms the
world over have been his "meat" and
he tells you that he has never missed
a good boom in any section of the
world for the past 55 years. He adds
that while chasing the cry of new
oil, gold, silver and diamond fields,
he has visited in 57 countries and
has written copy for more than C000
newspapers. In America the Captain
i3 still pounding out copy, and is
considered front page "copy" when
ever he hits the metropolitan ten
ters. In Diamond Rush
When the "little bits of glass"
were found on the Veldts of the
Kimberly he was one of the first Am
ericans that made the rush to the
South African section of the world,
then he tells you that after getting
a few rocks, he returned to America,
where he wrote many interesting
articles about the world's greatest
diamond rush.
It was during the days of the great
rush to the Alaskan country when the
cry of gold was heard round the
world from the Yukon and Klondyke
that he broke into the limelight, for
it was after his colorful life there
that the late Jack London wrote the.
famous story of Burning Daylight, a
story of the north country that will
never be forgotten as long as a
sourdough lives to tell the daring
deeds and adventures of Daylight.
Recalls Old West
All of the greatest gold and silver
camps cf the "Old West" knew Lloyd,
and he recalls the best of them as he
keeps telling you his yarn. In Mon
tana he was at Butte when the Mil
lion Dollar Kill was at its height,
in Idaho he made the Couer d'Alene
rush, down In Colorado lie was at
Cripple Creek, Learville, Victor.
Colorado City, Silverton. Boulder.
Longmont Ouray and many of the
smaller camps of that famous min
eral state. Over in Nevada he tells
you of the days that be spent in and
around Goldfield, Carson City, Tono
pah, Ely, Death Valley anc rrany
other hectic camps. In Arizona he
was at Tombstone, then adds that he
took in several more camps in the
rest of the western states that never
"made page one."
Starting out in the West he tells
you that he first remembers being in
Dodge City, Kansas, when the slogan
of the day was . . . "No Sunday west
of Kansas City. No law west of Fort
Smith and Hell west of Dodge City."
Is Wide Traveler
He knew and met the best of the
old western characters, and he re
calls a few of them for us here. He
hobnobed with Tex Rickard, Jack
London, Rex Beach, Wild Bill
Hickok, Calamity Jane. Foker Alice.
The Virgin, Doc McCall. Captain Bill
McDonald, Tom Mix, Will Rogers,
and many others.
Like all good soldiers of fortune,
he did his hitch in the French For
eign Legion, knows what it means to
be sent to the Last outpost. Down
below the Rio Grande he was with
Pancho Villa for 3 years; in Nica
ragua he was with Sandino; in Cuba
he was fighting for McCadoo; over
in China he did a bit for Wing Fu
Chau; in Russia he joined the Le
gion of death; in South Africa he
fought with Lord Robinson in the
Boer war; when "Teddy" organized
his Rough Riders he joined that out
fit. In the World war he was with
the British Intelligence Department,
then add3 that he served in so many
small affairs that he can't remember
them all at once.
Nebraska Is Bright Spot
The veteran has been in a dozen
states since leaving Florida, and he
tells you that since he entered the
state at Omaha that he has noticed a
vast difference in the conditions. He
found the stores crowded in many
towns, farmers are active, farm ma
chinery is moving, and he adds that
in most of the sections that he has

traveled through the small grain is
really in fine shape. Many of the
farmers tell him that in some places
the stand at this time is better than
it has been since back in 1914. The
conditions in the industrial centers
are not good, says the Captain, and he
also points out the fact that the
greatest point of interest he sees, is
that there are very few idle men on
the streets in any of the Nebraska
towns that he has visited.
While in Iowa the veteran appear
ed over the Henry Field radio station
in Shenandoah. Regarding our own
little city, he told us that the activity
was more than he had seen in towns
down in the deep south several times
larger, then as he closed his inter
view, said that he had never visited
so many modern metropolitan small
town newspaper offices as he had
visited here in the famous "white
spot."
APPEALS FOR FUNDS FOR CHINA
Word received May 23 by Cass
county chairman American Red Cross
from National Chairman Norman H.
Davis appealing to the 3700 chapters
for contribution to the Red Cross in
China.
The following resolution, unani
mously i.dopted at the recent national
convention in San Francisco placing
a responsibility on us all:
"Whereas our chairman has
brought most vividly to the chapter
delegates assembled at the 1938 con
vention of the American Red Cross
the indescribable suffering of mil
lions of civilians in China who, thru
no fault of their own have been de
prived of their homes, are threatened
with starvation, and are suffering
from disease; and
"Whereas, the president of the
United States last January made pub
lic appeal for a fund of at least f 1,
000,000 for relief of these sufferers,
nd the American Red Cross has been
requested to receive and transmit to
China all subscriptions to this fund;
and
"Whereas, only $170,000 has been
received from the public for this pur
pose to which the American Red
Cross has appropriated $200,000 from
the national treasury, now therefore
"Be it resolved that the conven
tion fervently express the hope that
all Red Cross chapters will urgently
obtain further contributions for the
relief and suffering people of China.
"Be it further resolved that the
delegates hereby pledge themselves
to do their utmost to accomplish this
result before June 15, 1938.."
NORMAN H. THOMAS,
Chairman.
The Cass county quota is $40. If
all communities will help it will not
be a burden on any one.
China is at most a poor country
and a dollar of American money will
go far in China. The Chinese have
and are doing all they can for their
own people. In Shanghai alone, a
total of $1,42S,000 has been raised
for the Red Cross relief -up to March
20.
One million dollars is the goal set
for sending as soon as possible. This
money will be distributed to exist
ing agencies functioning on the
scene by a committee of American
business men appointed by Nelson T.
Johnson, American ambassador to
China. The money will be used Tor
food, milk, medicine, hospital sup
plies and bedding and shelter because
of the rain and cold. Because of
lower living costs in China, $1.00
will feed, clothe and house one
refugee for a month.
Forty dollars is a small amount
for the 16 towns and rural commun
ities which make up the Cass county
chapter, to contribute. Give a dime if
no more. I appeal to you to help re
lieve such suffering.
Give your offering to your own
local Red Cross representative who
will forward it to the chapter treas
urer, Mr. Henry A. Tool at Murdock,
Nebraska.
