Norfolk Man Purchased by Govern
ment
There Is h man living in Norfolk,
who is the properly of the United
States Government. At least, he wan
once bought and paid for in actual
r.aBh by the American government.
He is an old pionvr und the incident
of his purchase if unique among the
many unusual adventures that befell
the early settlers of Nebraska. Pet
er Campbell, living ut lOOfi South
Tnird street, with his twin brother,
.Daniel, and two sisters, was captured
fifty years a no by a band of Ogallala
S.oux Indians while living in l'latte
Valley near the site of Fort Kearney
And held in the main camp of the
Indians for three months for a rail
win. They were finally released
when the government paid the price
finked for them.
"I can recall the time as tho It were
but yesterday," said Mr. Campbell.
"To begin with, I was born in Scot
Jtcjid. Our fumily had heard of Am
erica and her wonderful opportuni
ties and so we emigrated here. Our
family consisted of father, mother,
four sisters and my two brothers. We
journeyed by boat and rail to St. Joe
und came by the old river boat up
line Missouri. We were met by my
Aether's brother who lived in the wes
tern part of the state and iwth an ox
team finally reached the Tlatte val
ky near the old site of Fort Kearn
ey. The fort contained about ten
noldlers. not nearly enough to even
ake showing had the Indians cared
to make a raid on us.
"My mother died the next year,
1186, and my father took an old wag
n box and const ructed a rude cof
tbrmtin. She now lies buried on the
old farm In the valley. My cousin
now lives on the farm.
"In the spring of 1867 my father
Journeyed to Nebraska City where
the government land otlice was sta
tioned and here he took out naturali
sation papers and registered for a
homestead.
"July came and with it the harv
est. On July 24 the harvest was b.--Mun
on a farm six miles from home
und all the available hands were
ueeded to follow the new reaper thai
ne of the farmers owned. This reap
er cut the grain the men coming be
hind and binding it Into bundles by
hand. The man who owned such a
wonderful machine could have all bis
grain put up just for cutting the
grain of his neighbors. My oldest
brother, John, and my father we.u
awey to help, leaving us children un
der the care of my oldest sisters.
"We were playing, us I rem-.Muher,
in the afternoon ami suddenly the In
diana were upon us. Four of us were
picked up or dragged along with the
party of eight. One of my sisters,
about nine years old. had presence of
mind enough to run ami hide wh"ii
she saw the redmen coming and for
tunately they did not find her. We
were hurried along on foot for some
distance up into some small hills
where another Indian was wait inn
with some ponies. We were tied up
on these and then began a long. long,
ride.
"We traveled all the afternoon and
all the night, stopping only for :i
chort time at creeks in order that the
Indians might water their horses.
Morning came and still we did not
pause, going on and on southwest all
the day. x At night we paused for a
few hours, but soon resumed our
journey, finally coming Into the main
camp of the Siuox late in the after
noon of the following day. Here we
were sent to different families to live
in the camp. They would not let us
be together for fear we might, some
how, I don't know how, escape. Yes,
probably, one of us went to the may
or, the other to one of the councilmen
and maybe they sent me to live with
the city treasurer. We were allowed
to play together In the daytime, that
is, my twin brother, Dr.niel, and I
were, but we seldom saw our sisters
and when we did. an old Fquaw was
always near to keep us from talking
confidentially. My brother and I had
great times playing with the little
bucks. They were crack nhots with
the bow and arrow and 1 have sieen
them shoot and kill aid they were
little fellows, too blackbirds, high
up in trees. Then they would give
us the bow and arrow and ask us to
shoot. We tried and I remember I

"The Indians were fairly good to
us. The big buck or father of the
family with whom I stayed whipped
me twich with n regular willow stick
because I took something his little
daughter was playing with away from
her. I was always careful after that
not to bother her or anyone else.
"We lived with the Indians about
three months. Finally one day about
twenty-five soldiers came riding In
to camp and after some quarreling
and bickering money was exchanged
and my brother and sinters and my
self became virtually the property of!

VALIANT RED MAN
HAD ANOTHER AFFAIR
Volt and llrciinati I'inel $IOO and
$."0 and CoMw by .lodge Tash
for Attack on Indian
I,
The ways of the white man are still
pedplexing and disturbing to Igna
cio Kibberro, the Indian who claims
to have been beat up and robbed of
$100 here last week. Bays the Bridge
port News-Blade in commenting on
that fact. Kibberro lives in Banner
county, near ilackberry grove . A
few years ago Ignacio gathered up a
maiden in true Indian fashion and
started for Bridgeport where he ex
pected to have tho irtes performed
to make her his squaw forever. The
maiden happened to be a white girl,
aged sixteen or seventeen years, and
her parents inconsiderately objected
to her becoming the mother of a race
of warriors at that age. The parents
took undue advantage of Igncio by
using the telephone, the mystic prop
erties of which Igncio stood in ignor
ance, and when the Indian lover and
his would-be bride reached the city
limits of Bridgeport, tliey were re
ceived with open arms by the officers
of the law and the amorous desires of
the young Indian were diTeatod-so
the olllcers think.
In telling of Ignacio's visit to Alli
ance the News-Blade before telling
the story of the- supposed light and
robbery says: Now, a few days ago.
Ignacio made a pilgrimage to Alli
ance, and whip there he journeyed
up and down the great white way on
Box Butte avenue, stopping frequent
ly to pay due homage at the shrines
of Bacchus, Budweiser, et al., when
things began to happen to hi in.
j One Case DImiiUsimI
' The state cases against W. II. Voit,
Ed Brennan, Clarence Morgan and Kd
Dillon, charging them with robbery
of Ignacio Kibberro, tho Indian, here
last week were dismissed and were
not brought to trial owing to insuf
ficient evidence. The hearings were
' to have been held Friday morning
before Judge Ira K. Taah in county
court. However, Voit and Brennan
were charged with assault and bat
tery in the same affair and were
brought before Judge Tash Friday
morning for preliminary hearing.
i They promptly plead guilty and Judg
Tash lost no time in pronouncing sen
tence. Volt was fined $100, being
the leader of the fight, and Brennan
I $ 50, the cost of $15.30 to be paid by
the two defendents.
Judge Tash stated, when about to
name the penalty, that be felt it was
not necessary to give his reasons for
assessing the fines as be was about to
do. He said the man on the street
knew about as much about the case
as the court and tho court probably
knew about as much about it as the
man on the street. Judge Tash gave
Voit tho Btiffer fine, saying there was
no doubt in his mind but what Voit
was the leader of tho gang.
In commenting on this and other
cases, Judge Tash said to a Herald re
porter. "I'm going to break up this
lawlessness or I'll breag Box Butte
county." In view of the fact that tho
county is ahead about $300 on tics aa
sossed by Judge Tash, it looks like
his plan of action will have a two-fold
effect. The money collected in fines
goes to the school fund.

slapped him and where he threatened
to knock her through the window;

ing, and that he asked her what she
wanted of the money; that she told

to the springs for treatment; that he
caught her by the throat and wrist
and said, "When I get through with
you, you won't need to go to the
Springs;" that he pushed her back,
and that she thought he was going to
