Back in 1 863, while Nebraska's two regiments were doing valiant service for the I'n on the folks at home be came alarmed by the bellgerency of hostile Indians. It was at Brownsville that the raid was expected and set tlers gathered from everywhere to repel the invasion. An old howitzer, the property of the United States government was dls patched to Brownsville. Whether It was the fear of the cannon or not, the Indian raid did not take place but the old cannon Is still at Browns vllle. but Is soon to be removed to be used in the Semi Centennial Celebra tion parade. The story comes from Colonel Tom I Majors of Peru who Is the chairman of the Civil War Veterans Commit tee. It Is Interesting to know that Colonel Is one of Nebraska's oldest settlers and served In the Civil War as s member of the First Nebraska. This old cannon is still the property of Uncle Sam and In checking up his stock of artillery some time ago he discovered that he owned a piece of artillery that bad never been returned from Brownsville. About the only use the old howitzer can have in these days of five-point-nines Is for parade purposes or a dummy. It might be used to test the bravery of recruits It would surely take a brave man to fire it. Farm LOANS Ranoh NEBRASKA' Nebraska, O Nebraska, Thee we obey!
