A Visit to the ‘Big Muddy9
By ROMAINE SAUNDERS. Special Correspondent
The writer accompanied 1
Messrs. Gillespie, McManus and
Nolan on a recent visit to the
charming grounds of Niobrara
state park, lying in shad d
tranquility between the Mis
souri and Niobrara rivers near
the town from which the park
derives the name.
Niobrara, once the gateway
to north Nebraska, when set
tlers crossed the Missouri at
Running Water, Dakota Terri
tory where homesteaders went
to wager $14 with the U. S.
land office that they could hold
down a quarter section of vir
gin prairie; where such nota
bles as Ed Fry, Lament, A. B
Charde and Col. Towle had cast
anchor, is now a well-appoint
ed town compared to the wild
west aspect when first I saw it
in the early ’80s.
We went to the ferry landing
two miles from town. The mud
dy Missouri rolls on to the Mis
sissippi as it has since the an
cestors of Sitting Bull paddled
their canoes from shore-to
shore and fur traders worked !
> their way to the headwaters
Wind blew off of the dreary
bluffs on the Dakota side, sand
rolled in clouds on the farther
shore, the troubled waters were
grey and forbidding as we
awaited the oncoming ferry'
boat from Running Water as it
made its slow and even w_y
against the current. Five auto
mobiles, with the passengers,
rolled onto Nebraska soil when
the ferry cast anchor.
At the park, Senator Butler
and Congressman Stefan greet
ed us cordially. Mr. Stefan has
to do with the federal under
taking at Ft. Randall.
The over-all picture in Ante
lope, Knox, Boyd and Holt
counties is good. A few spots
wtre hailed out and some dam
i ged by drought. Evidence of
poor farming as the car moved
over the highway inspired the
Irish wit of our party to re
mark: “A d— Irishman liv s
there.”
