I I I - BITS OF EARLY NEBRASKA HISTORY FROM LINCOLN EVENING NEWS Z 44B4p444 tXft flBeB4B9 B 4B4B flit Red Willow county is situated in the valley of the Republican river In extent it is twenty four miles from north to south and thirty miles from east to west As to boundary lines it has Frontier on the north Furnas on the east Hitchcock on the west and the Kansas state line on the south The Republican river flows through the county from west to cast and on its north side the principal tributaries are Red Willow Coon and Dry creeks On the south side of the river are Drift wood Ash Buffalo Berger School and Silver creeks The only other stream of importance is Beaver creek in the southern portion In the fall of 1871 a company was formed in Nebraska City lor the purpose of making settlement somewhere in the Republican valley Two wagons were loaded with provisions sufficient to last shirty days and placed in charge of J M Davis and L K Sittler who were to proceed to Sutton where they were joined by the re mainder of the party and on November 1 1 they started across the country to the mouth of Red Willow creek where they selected a town site on the west of the creek After they had returned to Ne braska City and reported the company at once took measures to induce settlement John Roberts was employed at a salary of one hundred dollars per month to serve as superintendent Proceed ing upon his duties a town site was at once laid out modeled after the city of Lincoln Nebraska The town site was large the streets as planned were very wide The first real settler in the county was John S King who lo cated in the eastern part in 1871 In May 1873 an election was called for the organization of Red Willow county The two settlements the one on Red Willow creek and the other on Coon creek were antagonistic as each wished to secure the county seat The election resulted in a victory for the Coon creek or Indianola ticket and the Red Willow party immediately began a contest of the election The case was taken oefore a justice of the peace who summoned both parties to appear before him The Indianola party with one exception refused to recognize his authority and did not appear He therefore declared me election illegal and decided against the Indianola ticket Not ieing able to gain possession by any other means the Red Willow party went to Indianola and took the records by force and carried ihem away The county officers tried to recover them but they hid and could not be found There were several bitter fights between these towns for the possession of the county seat and for a number of ears it remained in possession of Indianola In later years it was removed to McCpok a town which was laid out in 1 882 and designated by the Burlington railroad as the division point be tween the Missouri river and Denver R W McBRAYER Electrical Contractor House and Store Wiring a specialty Complete line of Fixtures Shades and- Supplies of

living etc are being for gotten by the 31- OOOtfiJii Mans in this country in the anticipiiiini of again witnessing the great battles on the diamonds which begin on April 14 This is the date set for the start of the 1110 of the big leagues ami everything points to the most successful season in the history of the game its dev otees being greater in numbers than ever and assurances coming from every quarter that again the sport is to be cleanly and honestly conducted with new rules to prevent rowdyism and unfairness Of course the dyed in the wool fan while as loyai to the old time stars as ever is keenly interested in the new finds that are to be seen on the diamond this season and there are to be some big surprises in this direction according to the report from the training camps in the south where for some weeks the league play ers have been getting into condition for the coming contests Six young sters have been added to the New lork Nationals They are Lush Spencer and Zacher and Pitchers Ev j aus Dickinson and Parsons and they have astonished even the old players by their ability on the diamond Quite frequently a teams new material is described by the correspondents as burning up the grounds with their marvelous fielding batting and pitch ing stunts and then explode when called upon to duplicate their work in the regular games but in this case it is said that McGraws new players have shown major league caliber and will furnish some sensations for the fans Another new player of whom much is expected is Russell Clackburue al ready being called another Waguer and while he costs the Chicago Amer icans the tidy sum of 10000 he is said to be worth every penny of that amount His play in the practice camps has shown that he can be de pended upon to render good assistance in the work of capturing the pennant The Brooklyn team too has two finds whose work stamps them as star players and the Superbas be lieve that they have a splendid chance this spason for the pennant The new men are Zach Wheat and Jake Dau bert and their fielding and batting have attracted considerable attention and won much praise from Dahlen The Pittsburgs and many other teams have also added new material to be used shortly after the season opens and in young Bill Ileudrick Manager McAleer of the Washington Americans has a pitcher who he de clares will open the eyes of the spec tators At any rate his practice work in the south has been eminently satis factory Kiusella the young twirler captured by the St Louis Americans last year has also shown remarkable form recently and should give a good account of himself this season As to the older and more inexperi euced players without whom baseball f - X Ei -Sty f wM jt MGRAW CLARKE CHANCE THREE GREAT MANAGERS would lose much of its interest and excitement they are to stay in the game and as heretofore put up the fight of their lives to bring home the honors Mnthewson Clarke Leach Wagner Chance Evers and Brown of the Nationals and Cobb Crawford Donovan Collins Speaker Lajoie Young and Chase of the Americans and other famoiis stars of both leagues will continue to do business at the old stand It is too early of course to predict the outcome of the seasons play but the Pittsburgs are confident that like last year they will capture both the National league pennant and the worlds championship series This must not even be mentioned to the Detroits however who have already figured It out how they will turn the Outlook For The Season tables completely An Interesting fact in this connection is that should the Tigers laud again this year they will equal the record of the Boston club under Harry Wright which won four straights This was lu 1S72 IS73 1S74 and 1S73 That record was also dupli cated by the St Louis Browns in 1SS5 18SG 18S7 and 1S88 Supporters of the Philadelphia Ath letics and the Boston Red Sox have of late freely expressed the opinion that those teams Vill fight it out this season for the American league pen nant They base this largely on the belief that four straight is an im possibility in the big leagues as the teams are now made up This does not Influence the adherents to the Ti gers in the least They figure that the Detroit team is now no weaker that it was last season The club has ample batting strength fields well and has speed all of which are hard to beat when backed up by ood pitching The same may be sld of the Pitts burg and a number of other teams Probably few of the millions who shout themselves hoarse at the base ball game and who go away elated over a well earned victory or crest- n r J aSs U mm 1 I 7 8 1 - I COBB COLIiINS LAJOFE THREE STAR SWATTERS fallen over an unlucky defeat give a thought to the business end of the sport To them it is pleasure and ex citement but to the man behind it is a cold business proposition His mon ey and time are invested not for glory or pennants or worlds championships but for the returns the business will bring And he must be something of a genius in his line born to it as it were The returns of course are enormous but out of them high sal aries must be paid while the other ex penses are also very great As to sal aries one player alone Hans Wagner collects wages for his work that amount to 12000 a year while many other stars are almost as well paid In fact some of these men fix their own salaries and whether it will be profitable to re engage them for an other season is only one of the vexed problems that the managers have to decide About 7000000 people witness the contests on the diamond every season in the big leagues an opening game in a big city bringing to the grounds 30 000 or 40000 people This gives one some idea of the interest taken in the sport Let a great statesman draw 10000 persons to hear him speak and he goes back home and swells out his chest until his shirt studs fly out But the attendance story of the big league is only a fraction of the attendance story itself Counting those who see the games played by the many minor leagues the total baseball attendance of the country In a single season is es timated at 31000000 Women as well as men are taking a keener interest in baseball than ever before and are to be seen in large num bers in the grand stands and can also be heard when the home team mates a good play In fact in Detroit Pittsburg and a few other cities some of the preparations fair sex will not take a summer vaca tion so anxious are they to see the games As to the sterner sex from the office boy up to the nations chief executive there is intense interest in the con tests Last season in Chicago Presi dent Taft witnessed the game played on Sept 1G and although a special box had been provided for him he went down to sit among the fans and was one of the most interested spectators on the grounds It was the first time the executive head of a na tion had accepted a special invitation to be present at one of the historic contests which have made baseball famous After the game which was between the Chicago and New York teams Anson the hero of battles for years on the diamond was introduced to the president who shook him warm ly by the hand It was a great day for baseball a great tribute to the fans among whom he preferred to sit and aptly shows the true democracy of the man and the game - A PINLESS HAT Comes From Paris and Is to Baffla Theater Men Too Can you beat a woman No sooner do we have agitation over stlletto Hke hatpins in Chicago street cars than along conies a woman with a hut which doesnt need a pin at all And not only that but to get around those neniiKidernte theater managers who insist that the women remove their niillliiery creations no matter how pretty or new or costly this same wo man has a hat which wouldnt at tract the attention of the most zeal ous head usher Its the samo hat too This young woman is Miss Mary Glenn of Evanston III The hat she brought along with several others from Paris Miss Glenn recently re turned home after a sLx months tour of Europe not the least important stop of which was the millinery mart of the French capital No hatpins and they just cant require me to remove It In the the ater said Miss Glenn as she donned her treasure She placed it upon her head without the aid of n mirror and demonstrated the absurdity of any theater manager requiring the removal of such a minute thing Yes I purchased It In Paris It Is called a theater hat and as you see It Is made of gold cord with an aigret and fits closely to the head I never thought It would cause so much comment and I never will visit Europe again if I know that my re turn will cause so much comment Before I left the steamer In New York some photographer had taken my picture for although the hat Is to be worn at the pa3 I just couldnt wait and had to wear it while we landed Miss Glenn related how another wo man objected to her wearing it in a New lork theater She objected said the owner but I was not required to remove it PRAISE FOR MISS MORGAN A Boss Buster Say Kansas Gov ernor of Financiers Daughter She Is a boss buster square dealer and insurgent all three combined She is pretty attractive and very sensible This is the way Governor Stubbs of Kansas characterized Miss Anne Mor gan daughter of J Pierpont Morgan upon his return to Topeka Kan the other day from Emporia where he met her at William Allen Whites dinner the night before That girl is sure to do a power of good in this world the governor said MISS ANE MORGAN She surprised me by her line of thought She is big enough to look clear over her fathers pile of gold and silver and see the common people She wants to do godd for the people and while she did not outline her plan of work to me I am sure she will do something that will make every Amer ican swell with pride She is not look ing for one of those foreign critters with a title She wants to do some thing worth while for humanity and she will do it because of the spirit that is in her APRIL 1 IN CONGRESS Tawney Calls Up Mr Train Joko on Adamson Representative Jim Tawney of Min nesota chairman of the appropriations committee frowningly stalked into his office
