MI I'honee 1 Dr. French, 241 When You and I Were Young — Indian Burial Alarms New Settlers Along Niobrara (Excerpts from The Frontier Filos) (September 1, 1887) « 60 Yean Ago Last Tuesday night at a late hour parties arrived in At kinson from the Niobrara ri ver with the information that the reservation Indians had broken out and were raising merry hades up in that vicin ity, and that the settlers were fleeing to Dustin and other points for saftey. It turns out that some of Uncle Sam’s red children got into a racket at the Rosebud agency Sun day or Monday and one of them got sent to the happy hunting grounds. The friends of the defunct warrior brought the remains to their settle ment near Niobrara, in the vicinity of Dustin, and pro ceeded to hold the customary aftermath. Anyone who has seen or heard an Indian fun eral will at once undei stand how inexperienced settlers could be scared into a duck fit if within hearing. A foot race has been arran ged between Martin Kelly, of Shamrock, and Jimmie Mc Manus, of this place, for $100 a side. The race will take place in O’Neill September 8.

In passing through the car the bullet was broken somewhat, apparently only pieces of the steel jacket entering her back. She was brought to town where Dr. Finley made an examination and was then tak en to a hospital in Sioux City. In the car with Miss Ford were Miss Theressa Harring ton, Miss Eva Harmon, and three gentlemen friends, of Norfolk. The accident occur ed on the road near the cem etery early Sunday morning. Sherrif Duffy received word that evening that a Buick car with bumpers and bearing a Brown county license number had been taken from the streets at Ainsworth and was headed toward O’Neill so he located at the cemetery cor ner with a rifle for the pur pose of stopping the stolen car providing it came this way. In the dark it was dif ficult to detect the difference in the appearance of the Cad illac and the Buick wanted. The Cadillac carried a Madi son number plate. Miss Ford was not seriously injured. 10 Years Ago (August 31, 1937) Another of those lucky ac cidents occured about one half mile north of the fair grounds Saturday evening be BRING OUT THE BEST!
