with ibis moans of locomotion completed the
journey to the Missouri. They were
lerricd ever the river ut Bellevue , and the
old gentleman very graphically describes
Iho coublernulion of the party on being wel
comed by u band of"UU Indians on the Ne
braska side of the river. At that time
Omaha boasted of a dozen shanllo * and two
nsignillcant brick buildings. Near tbo ferry
was a lit'.le saloon und the Ulolcks bought
out the proprietor who paid " no license
nonoy und no ground rent. The ostaulish-

bought cotton wood lumber from Salisbury's
sawmill , Omahu's Ilr.-t manufacturing insti
