Road Ranch a Necessity to Emigrant By James C. Olson The roaa ranch, that Insti tution which grew up along the overland trails in Nebra ska, might well be described as the covered wagon tourist camp. It served the same pupose for the emigrant mak ing his weary way westward as does its modern counterpart for tourists speeding across the state In a few hours. Although they hardly could have advertised innerspring mattresses (or any mattresses at all for that matter) or hot and cold running water, these early road ranches did fill a definite need in the lives of the early western travelers. They were spaced 12 to 15 mites apart — a ‘good day’s journey by ox team — and provided facilities for taking care of both the emigrants and their stock. In addition to providing accomodations the road ranches also offered a cert&in amount of protection from the Indians, Wild Bill Launches Career They usually consisted of a large log or underground sta ble, a ranch house where tra velers might spend the night, possibly a store or two, blacksmith shop and several saloons. The smaller ones were little more than private dwellings which occasionally accomodated travelers and ser ved them meals. Many of the larger ranches also served as stations for the overland stage. And some of them along the route of the pony express also served that institution during its brief existence. One of these early establish ments which later became most famous of all was the Rock creek stage station lo cated in Jefferson county near the present city of Fairbury. It was here that Wild Bill Hic kok started his notorious car eer by killing David McCanles, proprietor of the station. Maintains uwn Brewery Another station which be came well known was the Boyd ranch located on the Utah- California- Oregon trail in Buffalo county. James E. Boyd, the owner and proprie tor of this ranch, later became the governor of Nebraska. The fame of the Boyd ranch was widespread. It maintained its own brewery and had an ice house. Another well-known estab lishment was Cheese creek ranch, located in the western part of Lancaster county on the old Nebraska City—Kear ney trail. It got its name be cause the people who operated it specialized in the making of cheese which they sold to the freighters and others who stopped at the ranch.__ DANCELAND — O’NEILL — Saturday, June 21 DUFFY BELORAD i and His Orchestra Adm. & Dance: $1 I ..........-j R H SHRINER °°H^ Renif "• "• JilllinLn pllt, Gh„, Liability GENERAL INSURANCE Live Slock REAL ESTATE.
