OF 014) NEBRASKA Several years ago an article de scribing pioneering on the Niobrara near Meadville appeared in Ne braska History. It tells about the life of a family who went up on the Niobrara in Keya Paha county north of Ainsworth in 18SJ. and de tribes that family's activities and experiences near-Nebraska's north ern liorder. It has a great deal of interest to Nebraskans in describ ing a comparatively little know a and interesting part of Nebraska that alonn the Niobrara valley. I The Mosul family, like many settlers, were much taken by the [ aspect of the country they found on the Niobrara. As they said, they had hem looking for a wood *‘d river valley and had found it. But the Niobrara was also rough country. After their first look they found that they would have to lower their wagon ,by ropes and lead the livestock down the bluff one at a time to reach the valley where they wanted to set tle. Mead's daughter found a number of rugged canyons in the area. One of the canyons was so narrow and so steep that the sun shone into it only a few minutes right at noon. A person in the bottom of the canyon could see the stars in the sky above him in broad day light so the canyon was named Starlit Can yon. Cattle rustlers were a problem in this area and vigilante organiza tions operated to halt eatlle steal ing From 1883 to 1888 the country was settled rapidly, and the new settlers found the vigilantes trou blesome They executed at least four settlers without trial in the summer of 1885, making the lot of the settlers Uith difficult and dan gerous The Mead place wav on the ri ver hank, and early had a road and a crossing by either boat or ferry. As a result It be came a natural gathering place for people. It developed into a tavern and a hotel. Also, Mead applied tor and got a post office, Meadsville. In several ways this settlement on the Niobrara was different. Mead made a govni living the first few years from his ferry across the river. The ferry operated be fore the first bridge was built and for intervals between bridges.as two bridges were destroyed by the river. Fishermen could always find fish in the river, and in hard times the fish were an important source I HI. SAT. JULY 81. AUG.
