LIBRARY CHATTER
By Miss Bernadette Brennan
Have you visited your publ:c
library lately? Do you know
that among the 3,500 books on
hand there are many which will
answer your questions, many
more to give you that pleasant,
out-of-this-world feeling which
comes from a thoroughly inter
esting story?
From the “paybook” section of
the adult books you may select
from most of the “best sellers”
the best in fiction. Read from
these the current books at the
very low cost of two cents a
day. From the regular adult
section two books may be taken
on one card and kept two weeks.
Through the cooperation of
our two schools, the young mod
erns have been introduced to
that very enjoyable habit of be
coming lost in an entrancing
story with the knowledge that
it will make a perfect book re
port for English class. To this
end the junior section has been
thoughtfully built. Dickens,
London and Tarkington vie with
Newberry prize-winners, top
writers of today, who prove to
’teenagers that their lives can
be worthwhile, full of adventure
and pleasure.
Youngest Not Slighted
The youngest groups of read
ers have not been slighted.
Books for children from pre
school age up to and including
those grown-up eighth graders.
Books overflowing with true and
imaginative stories, beautifully
illustrated by talented artists.
While the author carries the
young mind on journeys to far
off lands—through thrilling mys
teries, through animal and ca
reer stories, the artist is at work
helping develop an appreciation
of good art in the mind at its
most receptive and retentive
stage.
The Grattan township public
library is open for book circu
lation on Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday afternoons
from 2 to 5:30 p.m.; on Thursday
and Friday evenings from 7 to 9.
Card fee for residents of Grat
tan township and children at
tending local schools is 10 cents
—cards to be renewed the first
of each year. Nonresident card
fee is $1 per year.
Two books may be checked
out on each card and kept for
two weeks.
You are very welcome. Do
stop in before too long.
Miss Mary Jean Murphy,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James
Murphy, returned last Thursday
from a five-weeks’ visit in the

Out of Old Nebraska —
Spanish Bid for Territory
Ends in Massacre at Columbus
By Janies C. Cher
One of the almost legendary
figures in the story of old Ne
braska is Lt. Col. Don Pedro
de Villazur, the doughty Span
ish soldier who in the summer
of 1720 led an ill-fated expe
dition from Santa Fe to the
River Jesus San Maria, ths ri
ver which we know mere pro
saically as the Platte.
The Spaniards, by virtue of
Coronado’s expedition into the
Nebraska country almost two
centuries earlier, claimed all of
the upper great plains for
their own. This claim, how
ever, was actively disputed by
the French — who, moreover,
were doing something about it.
Adventuresome and cunning
French furtraders were push
ing up the far reaches of the
Missouri, the Platte, and other
western streams to trade with
the Indians and win their al
legiance to the crown of
France.
It was in order to reassert
the Spanish claim that Lt. Col.
Villazur was sent northeast
from Santa Fe in the summer
of 1720. (A year earlier, the
governor in Santa Fe had
started on such a trip, but as
he got to thinking about the
dreaded Pawnee Indians to the
north, he suddenly changed his
mind someplace in western
Kansas and scurried back to
Santa Fe.)
Objective Uncertain
We cannot be absolutely
sure just what Col. Villazur
was to accomplish when he
reached his destination, but his
certainly was no mere scouting
party. Among other things,
so the ancient record has it.
his equipment on that long
and arduous journey included
farming implements, construc
tion tools, domestic animals,
and goods to be traded for
furs.
During the first week in Au
gust, the expedition arrived at
the valley of the Platte. The
exact location is not known,
but it may have been in the
vicinity of the present city of
Columbus. They made first
one atempt and then another
to council with the Pawnees.
The Pawnees, however, prob
ably under impetus from the
French, were hostile, and de
termined on war.
Col. Villazur then exercised
what appears to have been
very unsound military judg
ment. Failing to get a council
with the Pawnees, he moved
his command and camped in
the tall grass of the Platte val
ley near the river’s edge. Here
th Indians, in a predawn at
tack, wiped out the entire
company, except four or five
who were able to escape, and
who ultimately found their
weary way back to Santa Fe.
