and lawlessness. Mostly they
lived in dugouts and soddies.
There were few cattle and
horses.
"A horse thief was worse
than a murderer," said Mr,
Donohoe. "Finally the rigi
lantes put an end to horse
stealing.
“I remember one fellow they
took to a judge, who had been
afraid to do anything. He took
one look at the vigilantes and
asked the thief one question:
‘Did you steal that horse?’ The
thief nodded and the judge gave
him 20 years right there.”
One of the colonists, Owen F.
Biglin, became mayor of the
town.
“There were just a few shacks
here for a town when we got
here,” Mr. Donohoe said.
One of the Pennsylvanians.
John ^IcCann, drowned while
crossing a swollen stream in a
buggy, he recalled.
Mrs. Marsh, nee Kate Menish,
said she remembers relatives
and friends gave them a sendoff
at the Scranton railroad station.
“It was just like leaving for
the unknown,” she said.
The dugouts and soddies, she
said, were surprisingly snug.
Mrs. Marsh’s mother, nearing
100, died in a blizzard in Decem
ber, 1948, when she wandered
from her house,
Ed Early, son of the late Mr.
and Mrs. James Early, still lives
in the Eagle creek country
where he came with his parents.
One of the early O’Neill resi
dents, Romaine Saunders, of Lin
coln, said the Earlys took an a
bandoned claim and started to
move into a log-sod dwelling. A
6-foot bullsnake crawled from
between the logs. They holed up
with the nearest neighbor until
they got a house.
The town was named in hon
or of the general only after a
dispute. Many colonists felt be
trayed.
The fiery Irishman, who had
commanded a regiment of Negro
troops during the war and then
commanded Fenian troops re
cruited for an unsuccessful cam
paign against Canada, died in
1887 and was buried at Omaha.
A move to bury him at O’Neill
and erect a memorial did not
succeed.
“Some of the Irish here said
they wouldn’t give a dime.” said
Mr. Donohoe.
