Story of the Vim, Grit and Energy of a Town to
Maintain a Passage Way Over Nebraska's
Greatest River The Platte.
The following story of the Louis
ville bridge will no doubt be read
with considerable Interest' by every
patron of the Journal, who has kept
tab on the ups and downs of the bus
iness men of Louisville, who have
used their utmost endeavors to main
tain a passage way over the Platte
river at that place. After repeated
t-fforts to convince the commissioners
of both Sarpy and Cass counties that
It was their duty to erect the struc
ture, they have at last given up In
disgust and will build it themselves.
The following history of the bridge
la told in the Lincoln State Journal of
of last Sunday, which fully demon
strates the vim, grit and energy of
which the business men of Louisville
are possessed:
The Bridge s Planned.
The bridge as planned is to bo lo
cated just north of. Louisville and a
few rods east of the Missouri Pacific
railroad bridge at that place. It Is
to be a four pillar affair, built almost
entirely of oak and will stand between
eight and ten feet above the water
line. It Is to be provided with spans
every thirty feet, and three turn
outs will be put In for the passing of
vehicles. The new bridge, which Is
to have thirty-foot spans will have
the advantage over the former
bridges built across the Platte, In
that the passage of the Ice will be
made possible without serious gorg
ing, a thing hardly possible with the
twenty foot spans used In the earlier
bridges. The bridge which Is to be
put In at this time Is a much more
expensive structure than the one
erected in 1890, for that bridge cost
the builders only approximately
$9,000 while the bridge to be built
by the present company will cost not
less than $15,000 when completed.
Te work on the structure Is to begin
at once, the machinery Is on the
scene of building, and It is thought
by Jas. Stander, secretary of the or
ganization, that travel across the
bridge will be possible as early as
April 1, and earlier if the weather
permits the workmen to continue
their work steadily.
Before the Bridge Whs Built.
Prior to the year 1890, although
there was no bridge across the great
Nebraska stream at Louisville, tin-re
was at times in the year great traf
fic across the stream, especially
when the waters were low and ford
ing was possible, and In the winter
when the Ice was thick enough to
bear up the weight of heavy freight
wagons. It was eighteen years ago
that the first bridge was built but
for many years previous to this time
the early pioneers who lived across
the river from Louisville, which was
then a flourishing little quarry town,
tame across the river to do their
trading in skiffs and flat boats, which
were built for the purpose. As the
town grew in slz and population and
the traffic from Omaha and west
ward Increased the need of a bridge
was relt and many times was me
bridge proposed, before it finally be
came a reality.
The simple need of a bridge to
accommodate the traffic would have
perhaps never urged the early busi
ness men of Louisville to the build
ing of. a bridge, but when the Mis
souri Pacific railroad was built
through from Omaha in 1881 and
little towns began to spring up along
the line and business competition
was felt through the building up of

TO
such places as Springllcld and other
nearby towns the business men,
wishing to facilitate the manner of
reaching Louisville, began the agita
tion for a bridge and gradually their
agitating for voting bonds was
brought Into favor by the citizens
and the matter of a bridge across
the river at the place where It was
later built was finally taken up with
serious Intentions.
The First Bridge is Built.
When the agitation was taken up
with tile view of building, and the
people found to favor such a course,
a petition was circulated among the
citizens of Louisville and vicinity
which asked that the commissioners
of Cass county hold a special bond
election at which $10,000 bonds
might bo voted to secure money for
building a wagon bridge across the
river at Louisville. The petition was
granted and the election held; the
bond proposition carried by a major
ity which showed the Louisville peo
ple wanted a bridge. The commission
ers issued the bonds, selling them for
$9,666. Bids were received on
the building of the bridge and the
contract was finally let to v.. 1). Dun
das & Son, bridge contractors then
operating in Nebraska, for a con
sideration of about $9,000. This left
a slight fund to be spent on extras
and for paying an Inspector. Early
In May the work on the bridge was
begun. The bridge was to be a four
pans and covered with a floor of
oak plank. The work of the bridge
progressed without Interruption and
on the 24th day of September, 1890,
when the last nail was driven and
the bridge was ready for crossing,
according to extensive advertising
done through Cass county and the
counties adjoining, a grand barbacue
was held in honor of the opening of
the bridge.
The Bai-lM-cue u (irent Kvcnt.
As the Louisville bridge was one
of the first bridges built in that part
of the country Its completion was
considered no small event, and as a
consequence many well known men
were secured to address the great
crowds which gathered to eat roast
ox sandwitches and stroll through
the pretty grove which line the banks
of the liver on the south side. Tin
sandwiches were free ami were ever
forthcoming, many oxen having been
killed for the occasion. Among the
speakers who addressed the ussem
bled people din ing the day were Wil
liam Jennings Bryan, then well liked
but not famous; L. I). Richards, of
Fremont, at the time a candidate for
governor on the republican ticket
and James IS. Boyd, democratic can
didate for the same office, who was
elected in the fall. Tom Majors then
a candidate for lieutenant governor
on the republican ticket was also a
speaker as were several others who
were tliaii or have since been prom
incut in Nebraska and national poli
tics. The business men of the city
organized a procession of floats rep
seating their wares and paraded the
streets of the little river city finally
stopping at the park by the river side
where the speaking was to be held
people gathered from all the adjoin
ing country and as a result a cele
bration was held on this occasion the
like of which jas not been seen in
Louisville since, for this was more
than a local affair, the building of
a bridge In those days being con

Effects of the Barbecue.
The news of the opening of tin1
highway across the river at Units-
ville spread rapidly and in a short
time the main line of travel from tin
north to the south from Omaha to
Lincoln was by the way of the
Louisville bridge. The residents In
Sarpy county who had in I he earll
days crossed the river in skirrs or
had waited for the low water or the
ico to meet a crossing, now came
in wagons and brought considerable
produce and live stock to the Louis
ville market. The skiffs and nt
tempts at ferry boats were ahan
doned and the bridge put Into use
until many other bridges which had
been erected along the Platte the
Louisville bridge was open t o traffic
and no charge was made for crossing

Serving the traveling public for
twelve years without much repair
and never being out of commission In
all this time, the bridge was still In
use In the spring of 1903. This winter
the Ice was heavy, freezing several
thicknesses. The warm weather of
the spring opened early and by the
first of February the ice In the river
west of Loufsvxillo lull begun to
break up. (iorges began to form
which chetked the free flow of Ice.
Late in the month the warm weather

miles west of Louisville and nil along

terward the blldge watchmen found
that the entire north end of the
bridge had been swept away. Much

:u ross (he river at this point for
thirteen years could not be content
to return to the old custom of i ross-
ing the stream In skin's and they at
once raised a fend hp subscription
amounting to i2.0ii which sum was
to be used in aiding In tlie repairs
of the damaged sect ions. The Cass
county commissioners at once set to
work repairing the bridge and after
it had been replaced with a new floor,
tlie cost was fou mi to have reached
000. This was paid. fL'.aOil being
paid by the cili.ens of Louisville and
tlie remainder by tlie county through
its commissioners. Cass county then
sued Sarpy for half the amount ex
pended In repairing tlie bridge and
the suit, yet unsettled, Is In the
courts today. As tlie bridge had
made traffic possible between Louis
ville and the Sarpy county farmers,
the small villages In Sarpy county
preferred seeing the bridge left un
repaired as It ' then gave them an
increased trade. Afltr the bridge
had been repaired it was constantly
in use until February, HIOTi, when an
other period of high water and Ice
gorging terminated in washing out
much of the new section and a great
deal of the old portion which had
stood the wear and tear of time and
flood for sixteen years. A second
time the people of Louisville were
willing to, assist In replacing the
bridge fipt the commissioners were
not in favor of such an action and
would at first, not consider the mat
ter of building. Finally tin1 call for
bids was made and the contractors
who replied made their bids so high
that no contract was let. The prices
asked by most of them were suffi
cient to build two bridges such as
Louisville desired. Dining tlie month
of May, this year, while the Cass
county commissioners and the Louis
ville business men were sparring over
what should be done with tlie bridge
question a cyclone which tore up
most of tlie property of tlie place
passed along and crossed the bridge
and carried away a great deal of the
portion still standing.
Mandamus Proceedings Arise.
For some time Louisville cltl.ens
have been provoked by tlie attitude
of the Cass county commissioners on
the bridge question ami as a last re
sort, mandamus proceedings wore in
stituted by James P. Kills, w ho repre
sented the business Interests of Ixiu
lsvllle against tin county commis
sioners, especially Leonard D. Swit.er
of Weeping Water who was elected
from thx?" commissioner district In
which Louisville Is located. All
sorts of dilatory measures were re
sorted to and the case was brought
to tlie supreme court where It yet
remains undecided.
Tlie bridge matter has played if
important part in tlie politics oi ii,,- J

publican candidate for commissioner j
in the district which is normally re

ple. In the last election Mr. Swit.er
was badly scratched on lint rcpuhll-

for Cam Seybert, the democratic
andldatc, because it was believed he
would favor the perpetuation of the
wagon bridge at Louisville.
