Other white peo ple had been here before, but not to scttla, and July 11 found the Snowden family th? total resident population of Omaha. In diana thera were a plenty, with the Omaha swarmed at Salem Grove, near Fort Crook, and the Pawnees near Fremt-nt.

It waa of logs, but the owner waa a brick moulder, and It waa a brickyard that he proposed to launch aa an Initial bualness enterprise, bearding the hands who worked for him. Three daya after the house waa completed the first apude waa stuck Into the clay at a point which la now Fourteenth and Leav enworth atreets, but which then became the firat brickyard In Nebraska. The clay waa for the brick that should ha the foun dation of the first territorial capitol, then to be built on the west side of Ninth street between Douglaa and Famam etreeta, and facing Douglas. It was not until two years later that the erection of the more preten tious state house was undertaken on the present site of the high school. Seven Yrara of Peace.

KRUG PARK MAY TURN ARID Benson City Council Conaldera Quest tlon of RraeiTlng I.lqnor Li cense nt Heaort. There may be no liquor sold at Krug park thla summer. The Benson city coun cil is considering the question of a re newal of a license at the park and wrestled with the problem for several hours Friday night. No decision waa reached, although all the evidence is In on both sides, and the council voted to meet In special session Monday evening and render a verdict. The ease hinges In part as to whether Rudolph Timmlor, applicant for the license, Is acting for himself or for the Krug Brewing company. The opposition charges that Tlmmler Is only a flgure-hoad and has been put up by tho Krugs, the West ern Amusement company and W. W. Cole, manager of the Western Amusement cor poration. Timmlor himself took the stand and stated that his agreement with the amuse ment company was a bona fide leasing of the concession, for which he had agreed to pay t50 a diy. The $l)u which he put up for the license, he declared, he had borrowed on his note from the Castle Realty company. That company Elnn-r Thomas, appearing for the Civic league and the Women's Christian Temperance union of Benson, declared to bo myth. Tlmmler and Rev. Mr. Campbell, pastor of the Baptist church of Benson, contra dicted one another as to a conversation held between them. Campbell affirming and Timmler denying that the latter had ad mitted to the former that ho was simply a dummy in the matter.
