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.

25 Years Ago
(August 31, 1922)
A poorly displayed license
number on the front of the
car and the similarity of cars
caused Sheriff Peter Duffy to
fire several shots at the tires
and the gas tank of a Cadillac
touring car that refused to
halt at his command Saturday
night, one bullet penetrating
the rear of the car and strik
ing Miss Beatrice Ford, of
Sioux City, in the back. 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.

► tween eight and nine o’clock,
when a Ford car driven by
Lew Morris, accompanied by
his wife and Be nard Bay,
ran into a horse and buggy
owned by Mr. Morrow, who
resides three miles northeast
of town. In the buggy were

The boys jumped from the
