ates during the ciyiL war of Col.
Robert "Bob" Ingersoll, America'!
patron saint of atheists, i ' -
The visitor was William Campbell,
a long-time citizen of Auburn, and
one of the real pioneers of Ne
braska and Nemaha county.
Mr. Campbell belongs te a race of
pioneers. .His forbears settled in the
"western wilds of Pennsylvania be
fore the day of the Brafldock mas
sacre. They were among those who
blazed the pathway bf civilization
through West Virginia and Ohio
they wefe among the early .settlers
of central Illinois. r
When he hadjust attained man
hood he was acitizen "of Peoria
county, Illinois,-' and the ', Civil war
was not even. a cloud in th.e horizon
of the national history.' Like other
young men of the period, heivas ad
venturous and he responded to the
lures of gold and joined the "Pikes k x m Ingersoll in Command.

of Omaha, arriving thereJst before

muddy streets, no sidewalks, and the
Indians were almost) as numerous
and unconventional as the whites.

Col. idgersoll commanded the
regiment, which -received its . first

' "After that," said Mr. Campbell,
'tthe regiment was detailed to skir
mish duty almost ail the time.. I
was 'Bob' IngersoU's orderly.And
was witn him the day he , wast cap
tured. This occurred near Lexing
ton, Tenn., between Jacksonville
and the Tennessee river. It ' has
been reported that 'Bob' was cap
tured in a calf pen, but this was not
so. .
"On the day of the capture we
bad had a sharp engagement with the
enemy near Lexington. Wre had ad
vanced our light artillery and the
colonel anfl I were out on a recon
naissance. : We., had approached."a
turn in the road, where the-' angle
was covered with a dense growt
of brush grqwing out from a 'snake
fence' corner. The cannon was just
behind' us and when we f cached the

short distance ah call or me, and cqni'
manded both of us to . sur;tider.
Uob pulled his horse on its
haunches and, he exclaimed: 'Wail!
Wait! Don't shoot! I acknowledge
your damned confederacy. While
he was engaging the attention of
the Johnnie Rebs in his surrender I
took advantage of the occasion and
wheeledvmy horse atid got clean
away without a shot fired at me
: "Bob remained a prisoner of war
with the confederates for a period
of 10 days. Then he suddenly ap
peared in the camp of his regiment
with his pocketbook stuffed wih
Yankee gold and- his saddlebags
padded with over $5)9,000 in con
federate bills.The story was told
arriong'the men of he regiment that
'Bob' had engaged in va series of
poker games with the officers among
his captors and had not only won
of every description which they
possessed.
"While a hostage of, the Confed
erates," said Mr. Campbell, Inger
soll took a fancy to a Texas officer,
sirgeon in' the icbel army, and pre
sented, th latter with his fine horse,
saddle and bridle. The surgeon, ac
cording to the . rules, of war, was
permitted to go between the lines
of the contending armies and helped
to care for the injured on both sides
at . the battle of Parker's Cross
his freedom, but also all the moncy Roads. While thus engaged the of-
fioer was encountered bv General
Sullivan, commander of the federal
forces, who recognized IngersoU's
mount and'equipment and demanded
that, the Texas' doctor surrender
them. This demand nettled the
Texan and he challenged Sullivan to
fight a pistol duel for possession
exclaiming as he did so to Sullivan:
'ingersoll has more brains in his
little fiiigei; than you have in ypur
whole body.' ;
"This tribute to 'Bob,' said Mr,
Campbell, "convinced Sullivan that
the rebel -.officer was the legitimate
owner of tb outfit and he, permitted
him to rettrh' it." i
Mr. Campbell came to Nebraska
with .his .wi.m 18d7, driving across
IllinoisiMid 4owa in a spring wagon
drawn by a single horse, lit had
nothing but his brawn, and Courage
for capital when he armed in Nema

braska and the west. It is an ex

Great American Desert, when I came
years, and knowingjhe possibilities
of our soil, and -our" strategic loca

the "nation, we are only on the
