PLATTSMOUTH 7-3tc Ota NEB SKA h IAHSS C OLfOXt Sprtkniu Af Blf TOUCH lOCIITf Bock County The area that is now Rock county was part of several coun ties before the present county was created. It was the Eastern most part of the vast reaches of Northwestern Nebraska th at were first organized as Sioux county, and administered from Cheyenne county in the 1870's. A ittle later the area now em bracing Rock county was attach ed to Holt county for adminis trative purposes, Holt county having been organized in 1876. The. next step was the organiza tion of Brown county in 1883. The Brown county of 1883 was a great deal arger than the Brown county of today includ ing present Brown, Keya Paha and Rok counties. The Niobrara river was a considerable barrier to communication at this time, and in little more than a year the people North of the river petitioned for and were granted the right to vote on dividing the ounty .with the river as the div iding line. This division separat ed Keya Paha from Brown coun ty. Within two years the citizens of Eastern Brown county were asking to divide the ounty again. Petitions were presented to the County Commissioners in both 1886 and 1887 to create a new county to be named Ek horn from the Eastern part of Brown county. In 1888 another petition for the same purpose, but naming the hew county Rock was presented and the proposal came to a Vote. The vote for division was successful and so Rock county came into exis tence. Rock county and its parent had an acrimonious time in di vision There was a great deal of controversy over dividing the county property, f ro m county records to the coal and wood supplies that were on hand to keep the county offices warm through the coming winter to county land and buildings in Ainsworth, the Brown county seat. Al disputed points were settled in 1890 except for a claim by Rock county to part owner ship in the Court House site in Ainsworth. This was finally car ried to the Supreme Court where the claim of Rock county to a proportionate share of this site, which had been given to Brown county while what was to be come Rock county was still part of it, was upheld. Rok county naa comparative ly little trouble in locating its county seat. A vote in 1888 gave Bassett 315 votes to 179 for New port ; and 273 votes scattered among Thurman, Tracy and Rock Centr. An absoute major ity was needed to win the coun ty seat, but the county board named Bassett as temporary county seat, and in a special eection in January of 1889, only 36 days after the previous elec tion, Bassett was made the per manent ' county seat. Before the area that became Rock county was officialy or ganized it had some wild and exiting time with the "Pony Boys" or, as much of the state called them, horse thieves. The most famous of these was Doc Middleton but they are tied most specifically to Rock county by the lynching of one of Middle ton's Lieutenants, Kid Wade, at Bassett. Middleton was arrenst ed and given a five year term in the Nebraska State Penitenti ary in 1879, but Wade continued his activities. He was arrested in Iowa in January, 1884, and brought back to Nebraska. Aft er threats of vigilante ation and lynching, and after several transfers of the prisoner, th e Holt county sheriff gained cus tody of Wade in Long Pine and started for O'Neill with him. The sheriff and his prisoner stopped over night in . Bassett on Feb ruary 7th. Wade was taken from the sheriff and his deputies by vigiantes and hung on a whistle post about a mile East of Bas sett shortly after midnight. One Minute Sports Quiz 1.

Cass County's Greatest Newspaper The Plattsmouth Journal THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAl Monday, December 17, 1956 PAGE SEVJ& Counties, Urban Areas In Spot Of Losing Federal Aid On Roads BY OWEN J. BOYLES, Highway Commission Secretary j Under the present division of our highway users revenue there are only sufficient reven ues available to our highway department to match primary and state secondary funds, there being a deficiency in the match ing of interstate monies. The counties and the urban areas of the state have not. in the past taken full advantage of the federal secondary and urban funds and the past, year the highway, department was fortunate to have had monies to match these , funds or, other wise we, the people of Nebras ka, would have lost sufficient revenues under those allo cations. Now with the acceler ated program under the new federal act, the counties and ur ban areas must find some way to take advantage of their al locations or such funds will r vert to the federal government. In Drevious comments I have attempted to set forth the sour ces of state revenues to the highway agencies of -'our state. At this time ' would "like to quote - to you, the figures on federal revenues which are a vailable to Nebraska under the federal highway act of 1956. During the period of July 1, 1956, to June 30, 1959, federal The Journal welcomes letters from readers for this column on any subject Your name must be signed to . all articles intended for publication, however, by re quest, it can be omitted from the letter appearing in print. (Contents do not necessarily express the opinions of this newspaper.) Editor, Plattsmouth Journal I was deeply touched by your paper's kind words about my father-in-law, George Conis. I'm accutely aware 'of his de votion to family, community and country. So it is gratifying to see him receive a tribute in the community to which he has contributed so much of his en ergies. Please convey my con gratulations to the person or persons who prepared the ar ticle in your December 13 issue. J Even if I did not have a close personal relationship with Mr. Conis, I would feel a need to commend the Journal for pointing out to readers the deep measure of allegiance and ser vice an immigrat develops for his adopted land. I believe such articles make the complacent among us more cognizant of our responsibilities and shortcom ings as American citizens. Most sincerely, Lyle Copmann Omaha World Herald Editor's Note: The article on Mr. Conis was written by Frank Smith, for many years editor of the Platts mouth JournaL, with the picture work done by Earl S. Dapp, also' of the Journal , staff. Both felt Mr. Conis' niche in the community de served recognition and are extremely gratified others also give endorsement. MORE FEMALES - In its latest estimate the Cen sus Bureau reports that females now outnumber males in the United States by about 1,381, 000. The greatest disparity is in the 25 and older age groups. The sex ratio, switch is said to be due to two factors: The ; mortality rate is higher for men. about 200,000 more deaths oc curred among males than fe males for each of the last six years, and immigration has de clinedonly about two-fifths of persons coming to live in this country now are males. Prior to 1930, about two-thirds of the immigrants were males. 1 rTwith ra! nmmr my liLnUI'lilm GUARANTEED money iack Schreiner Rexall Drug LETTER BOX ull MB Gifts Galore at Schreiner's V. funds allocated during this per iod for our primary system to-. - tal $17,900,000, to our second- -ary road fund. $17,700,000, to JTT- the interstate system, $72,200,- -000. Of the above amounts state revenues must be provided by, our state highway department ; on a ratio of 50-50 basis on the primary and secondary monies. -Of the interstate federal aid they . must be matched with state funds on a 90 per cent federal, " 10 per cent state basis. In addition to the foregoing monies there is also made a-, , , vailable under the act the f ol lowing allocation to counties of federal aid secondary funds in ... . the amount of $8,700,000 and to the cities under federal aid ur-.'" ban funds in the amount of $4,- 900,000 which monies must be matched by the counties and cities on a 50-50 basis. Again I say, there is an ur, .... gent need at the present time to find a way in which these , monies may be matched by the counties and cities. For if they are not then as I stated before, we, the people of Nebraska, will forfeit these funds not matched to some other state and this we surely cannot afford to : let happen. . Of our present state highway system I believe we must strive and make it our goal to dust less surface all our highways and bring them up to present day standards and in so doing will ultimately accomplish the following: ' : r "i: . . Reduce our traffic deaths due to the hazards now encoun tered on our present dirt and gravel roads. 2. Reduce maintenance cost which in turn will make more monies available for more con struction and improvement. 3. And for the economic val- " ues and your convenience and driving comfort. " ' Today it is my belief that we " are on the threshold of some impressive doings in the high way field. Each year, with the exceptions of war years, the pressure has built up for a real istic program to correct the ever mounting deficiencies on our streets and roads. - Since World War II the better road movement has been great ly stimulated by the unprecent ed growth in the automobile and more vehicles! , have been crowding our "horse and buggy" roads and our narrow and high ly inadequate city streets, the result being a great loss of hu man lives and an economic loss which runs into the' billions of dollars.
