A REAL OLD
TIME RESIDENT
OF THIS CITY
A. W. WHITE OBSERVING SIXTY -SEVENTH
ANNIVERSARY OF
ARRIVAL HERE TODAY.
FAMILY CAME HERE IN FIFTIES
Fleeing From Utah and the Perils of
the Mormon Regime They Brave
the Indians on the Plains.
The date of June 17th is one that
is firmly fixed in the frri'l of Al
fred W. White one of the pioneer
residents of Plattsmouth as it was
on June 17. 1857 that the White
family came to this city and stopping
here for a short time as they first
expected, later becanie permanent
residents and are now among the
oldest families of the community.
It was in 1855 that Frank S.
White and his little famiiy depart- j
ed from the home in' England, sail- ;
ing in March of that year for the
new world and with a party of
English people who were headed for
tlu far western plains and moun
tains of America in charge of a
party of Mormon missionaries. On
ti.eir arrival in the Uniteu States
the party proceeded to the then
frontier of civilization at St. Joseph.
Missouri. and Atchison. Kansas,
where the preparations were made
for the journey westward, the oxen
for the teams and stocks and sup
plies purchased with which they ex
pected to go on their journey west
ward. While going to Utah they
stopped at Fort Laramie. Wyoming,
where they found 1C000 Indians
camped and who had mistaken the
wagon train of which the White
family were a part for the govern
ment train that was to bring their
supplies under the treaty with the
government and in their dtssapjoint
nwnt they became quite hostile and
threatened the post as well as ttu
wagon trains that were sheltered
there and it was not until several
days later that the government
train arrived with the supplies that
the acute condition with the Indians
subsided and the emigrants made
their way on toward the promised
land. They also stopped at Fort
Bridger Utah, where the famous
scout and hunter made his home,
and in connection with this Mr.
White recalls the story of the visit
of the Mormon scouts to that coun
ry in the late forties and their re
quest of Bridger to lead them to
the Salt Lake Valley and his refusal
to do so which was followed by the
meeting with Brigham Young and
the ultimatum tliat Bridger would
either lead the way into the valley
or that the Mormons would put him
out of commission and a( eorflingly
he led them through Echo canyon
into the vicinity of what now is Ojj
den and where spread before the
followers of the nt w religious faith
the great valley that was the prom
ised land of the new cult.
The party of which the White fam
ily was a part arrived months after
leaving the bank;; of the Missouri at
Salt Lake and round that the con
ditions there and the practical teachr
ings of the Mormons were far from
their expectations and after resid
ing there for almost two years they
desired once more to retrace their
way across the plains to the more
settled portions of the United States
and while the journey was one filled
with unknown peril they feared less
the dangers of the Indians and the
privations of the trip thiin the dom
ination of the nractical dictatorshiii
of thi Mormon elders and their dar- !
ing and brilliant leader. Brigham
Young.
It was in March 1S57 that a wagon
train of eleven wagons left Salt
i,;ii;f City for the east, making their
way out by stealth from the capital
,of the Mormons and it was a jour
ney that was filled with dangers
from several sources The perils of
the long trip over the plains, the
Indians and the Destroying Angels
that were sent out by the Mormons
to pre-ent the escape of their follow
ers. The trip was made out through
Echo canyon and the experiences
that were underwent by the travel
ers are still strikingly remembered
by Mr. White. Along the Bear riv
er canyon the train had their first
tragedy as one of the families had
a small child in their wagon and the
mother had made up a large ba'ch
of dough and left is standing near
the pioneer crib in the wagon and
the child falling from the crib dur
ing the rough journey fell into the
dough and was smothered. The
train was stopped in the mountain
Uistnsss and the little one laid to
rest among the rocks and the trait,
moved on. the ruthless demands of
the safety of the train preventing
unnecessary delay. At the fording
over the Green river with water up
to the wagon box and from there
the party journeyed on through the
southern part of Wyoming and into
' i raao and made the Platte river
rrncuitii. , T 1 w. V. . . , ii!
it, o.v -uT-nuuit,. mr. wmie
states that at that time there was
west of Plattsmouth and the fee for
only one bridge over the Platte and
this was at a point some TOO miles
crossing the bridge was $2.00.
While the train was moving east
through the mountain fastnesses of
Wyoming they met with a party of
the destroying angels who were re
turning to Salt Lake and fortunately
they did not slop the White train
j but allowed them to pass on toward
the east.
I The party forded the Salt Creek
near Ashland and came on toward
Plattsmouth one of the important
shipping points of the Missouri riv-
er and on the evening of June 16th
1857 they camped on the hanks of
the Four Mile Creek west of this city
and at 10 o'clock on the morning
the White family with their ox
team came on to Plattsmouth the
road then running past the Isaac
Wiles farm over toward the north
east uid through that section of the
city known as Gospel Hill and
thence down to the main part of
town which was then confined to
about a dozen houses located along
First and Second streets near where
the present Burlington station now
stands. It was just after reaching
here that Mr. White was taken sick
and this was the reason that the
family stopped here for that time
and which grew into years and in a
short time the attachments had made
this city their permanent home. At
the time the family arrived here
Walter White was 14 years of age.
Alfred W.. 12 years of age. Frank E.
ten vears and Arthur eight and
Rose, later Mrs. V. V. Leonard, sll
years ol age.
The life of Mr. White has been
largely part of the pioneer of the
west and his many friends here are
pleased to have enjoyed his friend
ship through the years and trust thai
it may cover many more years.

DEFENDANTS WIN
STULL SUIT TO COL
LECT DONATION
Jury in Omaha Court Finds for De
fendants in Case that Dates
Back to War Times.
From Thursday's Dally
Since Monday morning there has
been on trial in the district court at
Omaha, before Judge Troup, an
action that is an echo of the war
time activities in Cass county, when
the blood and money of the nation
was being diverted to the winning
of the world war. The case was
one in which C. Lawreuce Stull was
the plaintiff, and William Rummell.
John F. Wehrbein. Ralph J. Haynie
and Dr. O. Sandin of this city, and
Joe Johnson, of Omaha, were the
defendants. In the original suit,
the Plattsmouth State Bank was al
so made a defendant, but was later,
on motion, dismissed from the case
by the court.
The interests of Mr. Stull were
represented by L G. Dunn, the well
known Omaha attorney, while those
of the defendants were cared for by
William A. Robertson of this city,
and Hird Stryker, former command
er of the Omaha American Legion
post.
The suit was for the recovery of
$1,000 representing the contribution
made by Mr. Stull to the American
Red Cross on June 9, 11S. which
the plaintiff contended was obtained
under duress and threats on the part
of the defendants and others, who
Mr. Stull charged were part of the
delegation that visited his farm and
i secured the donation. The defend
ants were charged with being the
ringleaders in the committee seeking
the donation.
The residents of this city who
were here at the time will recall the
intense feeling that prevailed in the
war drives against any apparent
'laying down'" and the incidents
connected with the raisins of funds
;that were to be distributed anionp
the war fund activities of the Red
Cross and similar organizations and
at the time the securing of the do
nation was a matter of the greatest
interest.
I The defendants in the case con-
ituura liiui uic iimiuuuu, ini. oiun
nad given the money voluntarily to
the committee and placed in their
nullum i ii i n ii v v rv o no vuc v '
fr L!bert,y ,bos' the quta
that was assigned by the committee
to the plaintiff
The testimony of the defendants
was that Mr. Stull had agreed and
did pay over the check to them and
! which wars placed to the credit of
' the American Red Cross in the
Plattsmouth State Bank.
The Rd Cross accepted only $70
of the funds at the time, it was
claimed, and the remainder was later
turned into the Red Cross fund of
Plattsmouth precinct and used with
other funds in war time activities
a"d luld into thue. Sfner,al fund of
Red Cross in this locality.
The matter was dormant Irom the
time of the issuance of the check in
June. 1918. until June 3. 1922. when
an action was filed in court here as
well as in Omaha, where the de
fendant Johnson resided, asking the

The outcome of the case has been
very pleasing to the defendants and
to their legal advisors, Messrs. Rob
ertson and Stryker. who have con
ducted the case, and has attracted
! much interest over the state as a
, showing of the outcome of the war
Itime work of the various committees
that were engaged in gathering the
contributions for various activities.

RECOVERING FROM ILLNESS
From Thursday's laiiy
Mrs. Herman Fields, of Council
Bluffs, Iowa, is here now on her
eighth week at the home of her sis
ter, Mrs. Herman Gartleman and
with her mother. Mrs. L. Kinnanion.
Mrs. Gartleman has been suffering

town and then she m;:de the jour
ney in a carriage as she is still Quite
weak and has the marks of her sick

ARE GETTING TOO
NUMEROUS HERE
Rad Paper Cashed in Omaha with
Supposed Signatures of Platts
mouth People on Them
From Thursday's Daily:
A number of the Plattsmouth cit
izens and business men have in the
last few days been receiving checks
sent in here from Omaha, which
someone has attached their names to
and which apparently is the result of
the wholesale issuance of bad paper
by some parties in Omaha, who are
familiar with this city and its people
and accordingly able to issue the
I hecks on the different banks that
might carry funds of the Platts
mouth men.
There are several cases of these
checks reported, which were cashed
by some person at the leading retail
stores in Omaha and which in the
course of business reached this city
for exchange, only to be turned down
as they were quickly detected as ap
parent forgeries.
The uttering of no fund checks is
in itself a serious offense, but where
parties add to the crime by placing
false signatures of some one else on
their paper, they only lay themselves
open to a very hard jolt from the
strong arm of the law, and which
will probably be the result in the
present instance.
The issuance of the checks is be
ing investigated by the authorities
in Omaha, where they were passed
at the retail stores and if the parties
issuing them are caught, they will
undoubtedly receive a very severe
sentence for their work.

GREENWOOD DE
SIRES TO HAVE
ROAD GRAVELED
Booster Meeting Held at That Place
to Consider Ways and Means
of Securing Funds
A good roads booster meeting to
'onider ways and means of secur
ing necessary funds to gravel that
part of the D. L D. in Cass county,
arch field Tuesday in Greenwood.
Tbeic were about 100 at the meet
ing, including C. H. Roper, presi
dent of the D. L. D.. State Engineer
Roy Cochran and Messrs. Gorder.
Farley and Harris, county commis
sioners of Cass county.
The Ashland Chamber of Com
merce was asked to send over a dele
gation and C. N. Walton. M L.
Mean. L. G. Yochum. C. H. Pa::zer
and Oscar Reece drove over to at
tend the meeting
This project has $19,000 in sight,
but this is not sufficient to cover
their stretch of road the required
width with four inches of gravel.
With this condition existing. two
plans of procedure were discussed,
namely that of putting on a two inch
coating of gravel on at the prsent
time or having the township vote
about $8,000 more to complete the
work.
The meeting was full of life and
interest from start to finish and it
begins to look as though the D. L.
D. will be gravelled or paved before
fall. A delegation of farmers along
this right of way nad good road
boosters from Greenwood will ap
pear before the county commission
ers at Plattsmouth within a few days
to see if the graveling of this stretch
of road can be taken care of official
ly and the work be started as soon
as possible.
Considering the amount of traffic
and what the counties on either side
of Greenwood have done to take care
of their roads, no great amount of
argument should be necessary to
convince the commissioners of Cass
county that it is imperitive that this
graveling project be taken care of
at once. Ashland Gazette.

Last evening the angel of death
knocked at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Byron Babbitt in the south part of

parents of the little son a deep grief
at the passing of the child who had
been given to them and taken again
to the bosom of the Father, who had
