This company is probably the only lingering instance in this country of the old European guild system The hall was built in 1771 and three years later a conference of committees from all parts of Pennsylvania was held there to assert the rights of the colo nies Later the First Continental con gress met there and King George III then learned for the first time that the revolting colonies were

word In kingly prerogatives If you could but know the his before the days of its occupancy tory of Southwestern Nebraska by the white men we should dis cover doubtless that it was a field upon which many battles were fought between native tribej that asserted the right to hunt along its streams The land which is well watered hy the Re publican and its tributaries was a favorite haunt for game of va rious species The first settlers found buffalo elk deer antelope and wild turkeys in large num bers and for a time hunting wai one of the chief sources of in come to the pioneers This country was the border land for three great Indian na tions The Pawnees claimed the larger part of Nebraska their nange south of the Platte in cluding all of the territory now embraced within the boundaries of the state except the extreme southwestern corner The Sioux asserted ownership of all of west ern Nebraska north of the Platte while the Cheyennes and Arapa hoes occupied the southwestern pjarit of this state and what is now northeastern Colorado but what at one time belonged to Ne braska Bands of these tribes frequented this region during the hunting seasons and the Indian were reluctant to yield posses sion of a country that furnished them not only with food but with shelter and clothing The natives soon learned that the farther they remained from the settlements the freer they would be from molestation and the secured from pursuit and pun ishment for depredations The ex tension of the railway through the Platte river vallev drove them a Way from that stream and many who had theretofore been accustomed to hunt at will over the prairies confined their rov ings to mor restricted and rnoi remote areas After the war of the rebellion when the plains states began to fill with settlers it became neces sary for the government to turn its attention to the Indians The policy of removing them to reser vations as rapidly as the exten sion of civilization required was inaugurated but for a time th task of keeping these wild me within bounds seemed to be be yond the power of the authori ties and despite restrictive meas ures of the severest sort the plains regions were infested by roving bands ot savages who made frequent raids upon the de fenseless settlers stealing horses killing cattle murdering men car rying women and children into captivity The country along the Repub lican was because of its mild climate and the abundance oi game attractive to the Indians and several bands of Sioux and Pawnees established themselves it the valley In 1868 when Spot ted Tail went to the reservation set apart for all of these bands ership of Pawnee Killer The Whistler Tall Bull and Little Wound refused to go They were joined by straggling members oi the Cheyenne tribe which had been driven south in the winter of that year Conditions became so serious that an expedition commanded by Major General E A Carr of the Fifth Cavalry was organized which in June 1869 started in to the Republican valley to clear M 4- 4 1 AT ml - ins- uuuiiLry ui Lite uuliuws Xlltr command consisted of six com panies of regular cavalry and two companies of Pawnee scouts the latter under Major Frank North The troops followed the trail of the Indians over the sand hills f Chase and Dundy coun lies for several days and finally after a pursuit on the last da ol twenty miles made bv the sol diers with their horses at full gal lop overtook the savages on the headwaters of Republican The Indians engaged in the conflict were Sioux and Dog soldiers or renegades from different trib es led by Tall Bull a Cheyenne After a desperate battle that con tinued for several hours the In dians were completely routed and defeated Fifty two of the sav ages including Standing Bull were killed outright Two white women who had been captured by the Indians some time before on the Saline river in Kansas and held by them as prisoners were found by the troops among the Indians One of these was killed by her captors during the progress of the battle The oth er was rescued by the soldiers A large amount of money was found in the camp nearly all of which nine hundred dollars was given to the liberated white woman More than one hundred mules three hundred horses and colts a large quantity of powder and about five tons of dried buf falo meat were taken The mules and horses were distributed among the soldiers and scouts It was believed that this chas tisement would have a salutary effect but subsequent events proved that the contrary was true In fact it seemed to put the Indians in an ugly frame of mind for it was withm a few weeks after this engagement that marauding bands killed the mem bers of the Buck surveying par ty in Red Willow county and at tacked the Daugherty party However this seems to have been the last stand made by the In dians in this part of Nebraska for while both the Sioux and the Pawnees hunted here for three or four years afterwards and the Cheyennes made the famous raid in the fall of 1878 no losses of a serious character other than in the latter year were suffered by the settlers at the hands of the MARION Mr and Mrs S W Stilgebouer were up from Danbury
