Wagon Axel
C. Abbott of Nebraska City Lo
cates Belie in Possession of Wil
son Family at Elmwood.
The old "steam wagon," which on
August 2, 1862, started from Ne
braska City on what was to have
been a triumphant journey across the
Dlains to Denver, broke down just a
short distance west of Nebraska City,
The Dast week N. C. Abott. who is
one of the leaders of the state his
toric society made the discovery in a
garage near Elmwood that a part of
the old wagon was in the possession
of the Wilson family of Elmwood.
The steam wagon after its trial
trip had been hauled back to Arbor
Lodge and there gradually rusted
away save for one part of the cylin
der that Avas saved by Ed Gregg of
Nebraska City.
Mr. Abbott was on his way home
to Nebraska City when he stopped at
a garage on the "O" street road just
eaBt of Elmwood and in conversa
tion with Mr. Herman Wilson, the
owner of the garage, the topic drift
ed to that of the old steam wagon
and Mr. Abbott was informed that a
part of the ill fated wagon was in
the posession of the Wilson family.
Mr. Abbott later returned to Elm
wood and proceeded to the drug store
of L. A. Tyson where the relic was
kept. It was dug out of a storeroom
and found to be part of the axel.
The old piece of metal, a little less
than a yard long and weighing per
haps 40 pounds, has been in posses
sion of the Wilson family for many
years. Their father, Thomas Wilson,
was an early well-digger in Otoe
county .He desired a piece of metal.
correctly shaped and heavy enough
to break strata of rock that cropped
out in wells he dug. So he found
the axle of the old Steam Wagon,
took it to Bob Hawke in Nebraska
City, who had it cut in two, a ring
fashioned in one end into which the
rope from the windlas3 could be fast
ened, and handed it back to Wilson,
who. no doubt, used the metal for
the purpose he intended it for many
years.
The piece of Iron is scarred where
it was dropped on layers of rock deep
in wells Mr. Wilson aug. Yet the
surface -on which one of the, wheels
of the ' Steam Wagon operated still
is plainly visible. That end is small
er in appearance to the axle of an
ordinary farm wagon. Robert Kre-
gel. who had studied early photo
graph of the Steam Wagon and has
made a model of the old vehicle, view
ed the piece of iron and said it could
be nothing else than part of an axle.
The three sons, owners of the axle,
live in Cass county. They are Her-
jman, in tue garage on the highway;
jDan, in an Eagle. Neb., garage, and
I George F., in the restaurant business
in Elmwood.

SOCIAL WORKERS MEET
The Social Workers of the Meth
odist church, met on Tuesday after
noon at the church in a very pleas
ant business and social session. The
business meetine was presided over
by Mrs. K. H. Anderson, president.
The hostesses of the afternoon
were Mrs. C. C. Cotner and Mrs. Mar
tin Peterson, who had prepared a
very delightful program for the after
noon, embracing numbers by local
young people.
Two gongs were given by Jean and
Billy Knorr, well known juvenile
entertainers and who were accom
panied by Mrs. Knorr on the piano.
Ruth Westover was heard in two
clever songs and Janet Westover gave
two of her always pleasing readings.
Donald Cotner was also presented on
the program in two piano numbers.
At a suitable hour the hostesses
served dainty and delicious refresh
ments which were much enjoyed by
all of the large crowd present.
A most harmonious school election
of District 50 (Murray) was held on
Monday evening. June 13th, by the
electors cr the district. 1 here were
seine 90 voters present. Such interest
in the school is indeed commendable..
Mr. Glen Boedeker was re-elected
treasurer.
As given in the treasurer's report,
District T6 received $636 as tuition
from outside districts last year. There
were 16 students in the High school
last year and 54 in the grades.
The treasurer's report further
showed that District T6 has on hand
$1,375 in the bank, $213 as state ap
portionment and $4,S95 credit with
the county treasurer, or a total of ap
proximately $6,4 83, with $320 still
due as delinquent taxes. It has been
recommended by the county treasurer
that a balance of two-thirds the an
nual budget be carried in reserve.
With the present budget, this would
be about $3,000.
It was recommended and approved
by the voters present, that the school
levy for next year be made ,for
$2,500 and the rest of the school ex
pense be paid from this surplus.
This big reduction in taxes will be
xnucu appreciated hy property own
ers. It was pointed out that ex
penses must be further cut, as using
up the surplus is but temporary re
lief. The estimated budget of $4,600
is a nice reduction, but because of the
drop in values a limit levy of 8 mills
would raise only $4,500 next year.
