TRUTH TRIUMPHS
McCook Citizens Testify for the Pub
lic Benefit
A truthful statement of a McCook
citizen given in his own -words should
convince the most skeptical about the
merits of Doans Kidney Pills If you
suffer from backache nervousness
sleeplessness urinary disorders or
any form of kidney ills the cure is
at hand Read this
Charles Weintz of McCook
says My back ached constantly ar
if I lifted or stooped I had sharp
pains in my loins The secretions
from my kidneys often contained sedi
ment and the passage were irregular
and painful A tired feeling v as in
evidence when I got up in the morn
ing convincing me that my kidneys
-were at fault After trying a number
-of remedies without being helped to
any extent I procured Doans Kid
ney Pills at McConnells drug store
and they entirely removed my trouble
I have since advised other kidney suf
ferers to take this preparation and in
every instance it had done good work
Several years ago I publicly endorsed
Doans Kidney Pills and at this time
I gladly do so again

THE WRONG NUMBER
You didnt look in the Directory before you called a num
ber the wrong bell was rung and an innocent subscriber was
disturbed You said Central gave me the wrong number
Of course she did You called the wrong number why
shouldnt you get it
Another time you thoughtlessly called a wrong number The
next moment you remembered that it was not the one you
wanted You quickly signaled Central and asked for the
right number
Meanwhile the party of the number you first called answer
ed when his bell rang He got no reply He angrily ex
claimed My bell rang He did not know you called him
and then decided you wanted another number after Central
had rung his line
The Telephone Company received the blame for your care

The Buck Surveying Party
Sometime during the month of July
or August 1869 a surveying party
under the direction of Nelson Buck
of Pontiac Illinois consisting of
eleven or twelve men disappeared
on the plains of Southwestern Nebras
ka While nothing was seen of the
party after it left the vicinity of Fort
Kearney investigations made in the
fall of 1S69 leave no room for doubt
that the party was killed by the In
dians The event is of especial in
terest to residents of Red Willow
county because it has been definite
ly determined that the massacre oc
curred in this county probably on
Beaver creek a short distance west
of where the town of Marion now is
Mr H B MacG regor who was or
iginally one of the party but who
was sent back to the Fort after they
had gone into the field is so far as
is known the only survivor The
following account of his adventures
written by himself was recently re
ceived
In the spring of 1SC9 six of us
were enlisted by Mr Buck to accom
pany him on a government survey
ing expedition into Nebraska then a
newly created state They were Ly
curgus Perry John Nettleton James
Sager David McFarland H B Mac
Gregor and Frank McCulloch Ly
curgus Perry finally declined to go
but the rest of us started on the
day set in charge of Mr iBuck We
were all young men all under age
and without the faintest ideas of the
service we were undertaking but
looked upon it as a sort of a pro
longed picnic We traveled by rail
to Chicago and from there to Coun
cil Bluffs Iowa Then we followed
the river down until opposite Platts
mouth Nebraska Here I came upoa
the first Indians I saw camped in
the brush I was told they were
Omahas and harmless Certainly
they paid no attention to us
We crossed over to Plattsmouth on
a ferry boat by pulling a rope I do
not know what they charged but it
was consideiable for an outfit like
ours Arriving in Plattsmouth we
I romped out and were there for some
time Mr Buck renewed his supplies
thLie gathered information and re
cniited six other young fellows and
a teaniitfr I regret 1 cannot after
this lapse of time recall any of their
names although I can still rerali
their faces equipment etc except
the teamster who was a tough look
ing green eyed curly headed Polish
Jev by the name of Levy Mieroslow
ski We were still in Plattsmouth
July 4th I remember the celebration
there on that day and the driving
of the first spike in the construction
of the Burlington railroad which I
witnessed on that day
We were in Plattsmouth possibly
two weeks but in due time started
west over what was called the old
government trail passing what was
then Grand Island on the south side
of the Platte a collection of half a
dozen or more sod houses I recall
the people there were very bitter
toward all Indians One old lady
where I bought a little milk boasted
that she Jiad finished seven of the
red devils by putting arsenic in the
sugar and letting them steal it while
she was absent and their equip
ments were on the walls too to
prove her story
The trip from Lincoln to Fort
Kearney reservation was uneventful
except for the fact that Mr Buck
could not locate a parallel which an
other crew had run and from which
we were supposed to start For that
reason and to renew supplies and to
make requisition for arms and an
escort we camped at the reservation
I do not recall just how long we
remained but I know Major Pollock
who was in command of the post and
ether officers and even enlisted men
insisted if we went on without an
escort and poorly armed as we were
we would all be massacred The days
went by but with no escort no arms
and no news Finally we started as
we were After about three days
travel we pitched camp near the Re
publican in what as near as I can
tell is now Red Willow county and
prepared to run a parallel Mr Buck
called Nettleton and myself to his
tent and told us he was afraid there
was considerable danger and he
wanted us to return to Fort Kearney
reservation and await the requisition
for arms and an escort and come
back with them to this camp We
found our way back to the fort read
ily enough and reported to the com
manding officer Nettleton had no
money and I only three dollars
half of which I gave him He hired
out that same day to the man who
was running an ox ferry across the
Platte from Kearney City to Fort
Kearney getting three dollars for
each trip Nettleton agreed to come
down to the bank of the Platte the
next morning and talk across with
me but he did not and I never saw
him again
1 received every attention from
the commanding officer of the post
and in a day or so he told me I
could get a job from the post trader
if I wanted it hauling -wood into the
J1
post by ox team from Plum Creek
crossing two trips a week I had
never driven oxen but claimed I
had and got the job I did not know
how to yoke them up but the morn
ing we were to start I told the young
man who was goiug with me the
truth about it and told him if he
would show me how this one morning
I could do it and could drive all
right I was sure This de did be
ing a gccil ellow I lis name I re
gret to say has es nnrd Pie but we
got aiong all right for a number of
trips 1 learned long afterwards that
it was a most dangerous job the
Sioiix using that crossing and killing
nearly every wood hauler who had
tried it We did not see an Indian
though we heard them often at
night as we laid hid near the cross
ing
Evans Brothers of St Louis came
along there soon and as I heard
nothing from my companions and
nothing as to an escort or arms and
they were going west I hired to
Evans as a rider at one dollar a day
and found This was a large and
well equipped outfit There were a
number of well known western men
with this crew as scouts I remain
ed with this cattle outfit until they
reached the foothills when I quit
them and started back alone and on
foot for home I had no serious trou
ble I slept at night on the islands
in the Platte and traveled days I
often heard Indians and gun shots
but did not see one nor was I seen
by them on this trip fi
When opposite North Platte lla
-warn over to the north side and id
there found some parties with three F3
