RECOVERS ON SUIT
Friday in the county court was
heard before Judge A. II. Duxbury,
Prom Tuesday's Dally
Last evening the general public of
' the community was given the oppor
tunity of seeing and hearing Chief
Caupolican, noted Indian baritone
! singer and entertainer whose work
on the grand opera and vaudeville
stage has received world wide recog
I nition.
It was very pleasing that as large
;an audience of the music lovers of the
'city were present to partake of the
musical treat that the singer and his
charming and gifted accompanist,
"Mile. Jeanne Renard offered during
the course of the evening program.
I The chief does not offer any of the
modern day adaptions of the jazz typej
and his selections are usually of the
popular standard numbers intersperc
, ed with a few of the more classic
' numbers as they are called
i The beauty of many of the num
bers were enhanced in that they were
given in the tongue in which they
, were written, the Italian and French
selections offered last evening being
given with all of their beauty pre
served and enhanced by the wid
range of the rich and powerful voice
of the singer.
Here as in manw of the cities
where he has appeared Chief Caupol-
ican's most enthusiastically received
numbers were in the group of the
Indian melodies that have become a
part of the music of the American
people and which carries with it the
charm and haunting melodies that
the composers have woven around the
Indian songs. The group of Indian
selections were very heartily received
last evening by the large audience
and were splendidly given.
The rendition of several of the
operatic selections offered the singer
a wide range of voice and which
gave the audience the opportunity of
fully appreciating the full charm and
beauty of the rich baritone notes of
Chief Caupolican.
During the recital Mile. Jeanne
Renard, whose exceptionally artis
tic work as accompanist added to the
interest of the recital, gave several
piano numbers that were very artisti
cally presented and well chosen.
The chief was also heard In a
group of the best known and always

years whose sweetness and charm has

G. W. Holdrege,
Pioneer Railroad
Builder, is Dead
Heart Attack Carries Away leader
. Who Started Work Here and
Was Friend of City.
George W. Holdrege, 79, former
general manager of the Burlington!
lines west, and Nebraska builder, ;
died at 1 o'clock this morning at
his home. Fifty-first street and Un-(
derwood avenue, Omaha.
Heart trouble was the immediate
cause of death. He had been ill
since Sunday. A slight cold was the'
first intimation that he was not in
his usual health. j
Mr. Holdrege was at his office Sat-!
urday.
Mr. Holdrege had given the Bur
lington fifty-one years' continuous
service. He began as a clerk in the
paymaster's office and rose steadily,
until he became a powerful figure in
railroad circlesr -
He was born in New York City
March 26, 1847. .
Mr. Holdrege was ever a friend of
Plattsmouth and this city and its
people feel the passing of this giant
of the railroad age as a read per
sonal loss as his life had been more
or less istimately woven around this
city.
Tribute From Holden.
When President Hale Holden of the
Burlington railroad visited Oraha in
January, 1925, and was the guest of'
the Omaha Chamber of Commerce at
luncheon, he caused Mr, Holdrege, an
other guest to stand up, and, while
the audience rose and cheered the
happily smiling man, Mr. Holden
said:
"This is the man whol built the,
railroad west of the Missouri river, j
He has been an. honor to his state j
and to the company to which he has
given the best year's of his life."
To George Ward Holdrege's faith
in the middle west, his confidence
that its soil could be made to pro
duce crops and fatten livestock for
food for millions, and his unswerv
ing conviction that it could be made
the prosperous homestead of hundreds
of thousands of people, are attribut
ed the extension ,pf the Burlington
lines throughout Nebraska and Into
South Dakota, Wloming, Montana
and Colorado.
An Empire Builder.
This railroad building proceded
and made possible the settlement of
the' vast farm acreage of the west,
led to the founding of sources of
villages that grew to important
towns and cifies, and aided the de
velopment of the oil and mineral re
sources of the Rocky mountain re
gion.
Because of his vision in . the first
place, and his insistence, as general
manager of the Burlington lines west
of the Missouri that the rails be laid,
in the second place, was Mr. Hold
rege hailed as one of the most im
portant of the "empire builders" of
middle America.
Schooled at Irvington-one-the-Hud-
son, near New York City, then a
student of Harvard and a member
of the crew of 1867 and 1868, Mr.
Holdrege was graduated, with the
degree of bachelor of arts in 1S69.
By birth and easterner, he was by
instinct a pioneer, and the end of
the summer foiind him at Pacific
Junction, la., beyond the end of the
railroad, boarding a ferry to cross
the Missouri river at Plattsmouth.
He reached that town September 17,
1869, and became a clerk there for
the Burlington.
Brakeman and Conductor.
He saw Its tracks pushed to the
Missouri river, and then into Nebras
ka, with the building of the bridge.
After a few years service in Iowa, first
as a brakeman, then as passenger con
ductor. Within a decade he had become
trainmaster and then assistantt super
intendent. In 1882 he was made as
sistant general manager, with offices

From Wednesdays Daily
This morning a culvert on the
Cedar Creek road running west from
the Oak Hill cemetery, was reported
out of service and making necessary
the re-routing of travel from this
city west on the Louisville road to
the north road and thence north to
the Platte bottom road for connec
tion with the Omaha road. The cul
vert will be repaired as quickly as
possible but will make some little de
lay in the use of the road. The wash
out of the culvert was occasioned by
the Very heavy rain last night.
