OMAHA IN CRADLE CLOTHES Thunderings of a Claim Club Half a Century Ago. GRAB GAME IN REAL ESTATE Sewa f the Yeans CUr restart In Rare Ciy at Tbe Nebraaklam," Priated la Onaka, Vehraarr . , 2T, 18S6. An Instructive historical insight into ral estate transactions in .Omaba In the very early days Is furnished by the Ne fur beyond the defense of . legitimate published in Omaha a copy of which has come Into possession of a member of The Bee staff. The files of the Nebrasklan In the Byron Reed collection in the Omaha 1'ublic library are fragmentary, . having very few copies of the Issues of 1855-. The present copy is No. fc Volume II, and is of considerable value . both tor its , rarity and the details of events from which pioneer history is evolved. . Claim clubs are acknowledged to have been the liveliest organisations that rocked the cradle of the infant "Omaha City" or boosted for No. L Organisation was a necessity where squatter right was the sole title to land, but they went far beyond the defense of legitimate claims, and succeeded in annexing by the power of might countless acres to' the holdings of greedy members. Sorenson's and Bell and Savage's histories of Omaha sgree in datingthe organisation of the first claim, club In July, 18D4. These au thorities convey the impression that the parent ciub continued Its activities through the succeeding years until the Jand was thrown open to settlement by the national government in 1857. No men tlon Is made of other claim clubs. The Nebrasklan shows there wag more than one club, probably a new one each year preceding the grant of title by the gov ernment. Nearly a column of the paper Is devoted to the details of the organ! satlon of a claim club at Florence, on Saturday, February 23 1856, In which citizens of Omaha and Florence par ticipated. An extended preamble and a set at resolutions defining the purpose of the club were unanimously adopted and signed by those present "It has been found necessary In all new territories.' says the preamble, "that the settlers should league themselves together for self-protection, so, that their lands shall not be taken .from them by speculators at home or abroad, thus robbing them of the fruits of their sacrifices and hard ships, but also of their hard earned money honestly paid for their claims," and so on, therefore, - In defense of our property and our families and to prevent scenes of strife and bloodshed" the following agreement was solemnly enacted and signed: "We whose 'names are hereto subscribed, claimants upon public land, do hereby agree with each other and bind ourselves upon our honors that we will protect every lawful claimant In the peaceable possession of his claim, and that in case of his claim being jumped we will, when called upon by the 'cap tain of the regulators' turn out and ore- ceed to the claim lumped, and there endeavor to have the matter settled amicably by an arbitration on the soot eaoh party to choose one arbitrator, and it they cannot agree they shall choose a third, but If It cannot be settled, then w will obey the captain In carefully and quietly putting the jumper out of pos Kession. and the claimant in." ! It la worth white to no:e and emphasise here thst the gentle Policy of arbitration proclaimed and what would happen to the jumper If he failed to arbitrate. That method of disposing of disputed claims was the proper one to put on paper and attach thereto the signatures of law abiding citizens. But the real temper of the meeting was expressed In another set of whereases and resolutions unanimously adopted. In these declarations the mem bers assert that "the soli of our beautiful territory has already been saturated and deeply dyed with human gore, in conse quence of which sorrow and desolation have been brought home to the hearts of the widows and orphans, the relatives and friends of those whose lives have been sacrificed at the shrine of the claim jumper; that we look upon claim jumping and those who encourage claim jumping with utter abhorence; that we consider them worse than the highway robber; that they should and of right ought to be dreaded, avoided, treated and dealt with our common enemy, and as the enemy of mankind generally; that they are far more dangerous than the beast of prey or the savage Indian, and that the safety of our, lives and our property requires that they be removed from our midst' There upon each member again pledged himself to "assist In removing any person or per sons out of the territory who shall per sist either in claim jumping or encour aging it peaceably if we can, bi. forcibly if we must" James C. Mitchell, P. C. Chapman, Charles Burdlck, K. S. Bryan and "Will lam Conner constituted the board of.arbl- trators, and Charles Burdlck was elected "captain of the , regulators." The min utes bf the meeting ar Attested by R. W. Steele, president, and ! Henry Springer, secretary. ' r 'V " Same Other Features. The Nebrasklan featured several other Items of historic Interest. On the pre ceding Saturday, February 3, a meeting1 was held for the purpose of "taking pre liminary steps toward organising a lodge jof Ancient Free and Accepted Masons." The officers chosen were: Robert Shields, worthy master; Ellas H. Clark, senior warden; W. W. Maynard. junior warden; William E. Moore, senior deacon; John H. Sherman, Junior deacon; John M. Thayer, treasurer; George Armstrong, secretary; Charles Turner, tyler. The secretary was instructed to forward a petition for a dispensation and raise a fund to procure jewels and regalia. The Council Bluffs A Nebraska Ferry company had concluded the purchase from General Peter A. Sarpy of the staunch steam ferryboat Nebraska, which cost $12,000 In St. Louis. Readers were assured that "this Is the largest, fastest and 1n all respects the best ferryboat on the Missouri river." "The, large and rapidly Increasing amount of travel to this city,". says the Nebrasklan, "together with the anticipated rush of emigrants to this por tion of Nebraska during the coming sea son, rendered the purchase of such a boat indispensable." - At that early day military titles were as easily asquired as today. . John , M. Thayer was dubbed "general" in the announcement that he would devote his entire time to the practice of law. Proceedings of a meeting of the stock holders of the Fort Calhoun, company held in Omaha, February 18, 1858, an nounced that as Fort Calhoun had been made the county seat of "Washington county the stockholders, owners of ' the townstte. would have it surveyed, platted ar-d titles conveyed tn proper form. Tho minutes of the meeting carry the names of Thomas J. Allen, president: William E. Moore, secretary; A. Cochran, E. H. Clark. M. W. Istird. A. Arnold, James A. Taggart, Jesse Estlack and J. P. CassHdy. ' Nearly four columns of the paper are devoted to varying accounts of a fracas nmong claim Jumpers at "Elk Horn City," In which B. C. Tabor of that town shot and .Killed Jeese Winn of Omaha.

Tne Nebrasklan carried a little less than three columns of advertising, most of it from Council Bluffs merchants. Among- the Omaha advertisers whose names are familiar are Lorin Miller, father of Dr. Georpe L. Miller, who' was prepared to do all kinds of surveying "with new and the finest kind of In-H struments in the line of his profession." George M. Mills offered for sale the Douglas hpuse, "the largest and most convenient hotel building in Nebraska or In western Iowa." Richard Kimball con ducted a livery stable "opposite the post office," and was also partner of Charles I.
