RICHARDSON COUNTY MEN BATTLE MISSOURI BANDITS.
August J. Falksken, at one time county clerk of this county and later an inmate of the National Military Soldier's Home at Leavenworth, Kan- sas, was the author of the following interesting letter which appeared in a number of the Pioncer Record, published at Verdon in August, 1894:
Frederick William Falsken was born in Prussia, June 2. IS41. He immigrated with the family to the United States in 1852. Arrived at Buffalo, N. Y., August 29, 1852, and stayed there until the family moved to Nebraska in April, 1859. They settled on a farm in Richardson county and Frederick William worked for his parents until the war broke out, when he enlisted together with myself, on the 13th day of March, 1862, in Rockport. Mo., where was raised a company of volunteers in the Missouri service. We marched to St. Joseph, Mo., where the regiment was organized. We came in as Company C, 5th Regiment Cavalry, Missouri State Mititia. We were obliged to furnish our own horses, and received $25.00 per month. We were stationed some time in Clay county (Mo.), then in Lafayette county at Lexington. We reached the latter place after Mulligan surren- dered to Price. We pursued Price and had many skirmishes. After we had driven him out of the state we were stationed for a while at Independence, Jacksou county, Mis- souri, and also at Kansas City, Mo. The main object of our movements was to capture

Quantrell, the bushwhacker colonel. The Younger and James brothers were the leading officers in this outlaw's command. We bad numerous skirmishes and fights with these guerrillas at Lone Jack, Harrisonville, and Liberty, as history shows. As our company of about eighty were on the scouting party for several days we were attacked by the enemy with Jesse James and Cole Younger in command, with, it was reported, 250 men. For the first time we were compelled to retreat and F. W. Falsken was killed near Blue Springs, Jackson county, Mo., about twelve miles from camp. The battle was ealled "the Blue Cut Fight" and was early in the spring of 1863. I think on March 17th. When reinforcements arrived we gathered our dead together. Others from Richardson county, killed in that fight, were Milton Ewing, and a man by the name of Vandeventer. We lost in all thirteen of that scout. They were all put in good eoffins and buried at Inde- pendenee. Missouri.
BODIES BROUGHT HOME FOR BURIAL.
In 1863, M. H. Van Deventer, of Stella, this county, brought from Independence, Missouri, where Pennick's regiment was quartered, the bodies of three boys who were killed by the guerrillas; Jonas Van Deventer, Gus Randall and Deb Ewing. The dreary journey homeward of five days was made by steamboat up the Missouri river, there being at that time no other means of transportation. The landing was made at Aspinwall, in Nemaha county, where the sorrowing friends met and cared for their dead, whose lives were lost in the "Blue Cut Fight."

RICHARDSON COUNTY IN THE WORLD WAR.
In February, 1917, E. W. Simpson, H. A. Pence, Ed D. Fisher, Dr. O. F. Lang, Jacob Reed, O. O. Marsh, William Uhlig and C. A. Beaver met at the city council rooms in Falls City for the purpose of organizing the Falls City Rifle Club. Dr. O. F. Lang was elected president ; Jacob Reed, vice-president ; C. A. Beaver, secretary, and William Uhlig, treasurer. The organization grew to seventy-five members and a great deal of practice shoot- ing was done on the indoor range provided in the basement of the Simpson undertaking parlors.
Shortly after the rifle club was organized there was some talk of trying to get a company of the Nebraska National Guard located at Falls City. because of the advantages for obtaining ammunition. Mr. Beaver made inquiries of Adjutant P. L. Hall, at Lincoln, in March and was informed that there were no vacancies in either the Fourth or the Fifth Regiments.
When there was some talk of organizing the Sixth Nebraska Regi- ment after war had been declared against Germany in April, 1917, Mr. Beaver again made inquiries of Adjutant Hall as to the feasibility of or- ganizing a company in Richardson county and was informed that such
495
RICHARDSON COUNTY, NEBRASKA.
an undertaking would receive every encouragement from the adjutant's office. Some bills were printed advertising a meeting to be held at the county court house for a Saturday in June, and inviting all to attend wlio were interested. At this meeting some six or eight young men signified their willingness to join such a company, but eighty were needed and the then prospects of securing that number looked more than discouraging. Adjutant-General Hall suggested sending a regular recruiting officer to Falls City and the offer was gladly accepted. First Lieut. Jean Cobbey of the Fifth Nebraska Infantry was sent to Falls City on the following Monday and from that date a real recruiting campaign was started.
The company was organized with C. A. Beaver as captain; Jean B. Cain, first lieutenant, and Ed. D. Fisher, as second lieutenant. Seventy- five recruits were secured by Saturday night and the organization of the company was thus assured, the same being designated Company E. James Jacquet, Oliver, Cole, Harry Mosiman, Ed. D. Fisher and C. A. Beaver, assisted by Lieutenant Cobbey, made the active campaign for the company during the first week. Recruiting continued slowly for a month, so that when the company was ordered to mobilize, August 3, 1917, there were one hundred and five members. These men were given the federal examination, vaccinated, inoculated against typhoid fever, and mustered into the federal service to date August 5. 1917. Jacob Miller, Arthur D. Chesley, Guy S. Lewis and William McDonald were rejected for physical disability and Ed. D. Fisher, who was to have been second lieutenant, was rejected by the war department because of being over the age limit prescribed for second lieuten- ants, so that with these rejections the company membership was reduced to one hundred and one enlisted men and two officers. Robert B. Waring, of Geneva, Nebraska, attending the training school camp at Ft. Snelling, Minnesota, was appointed as second lieutenant, but never reported because of a ruling that no training-camp officers should be assigned with the National Guard.
The company camped at the city park and used the city auditorium as quarters for a week, then moved into tents furnished by various citizens for another week, during which time the chautauqua was held in the audi- torium. After the chautauqua was over the soldiers moved back into the auditorium for the remainder of their stay. After mobilization, recruiting was more brisk and when the company had been in camp a month the number had grown to one hundred and forty-six.
Charles Stanton and James Jacquet started a subscription for the com- pany mess fund and by August I this fund had grown from various sources
496

to one thousand one hundred dollars. The people of Humboldt and vicinity came down in autos and took the company to Humboldt for a chicken dinner. They had also invited Company D. of the Fifth Regiment, down from Auburn ( Nemaha county), to help entertain the boys. Dinner was served in the city park or public square. While there both companies put on an exhibition drill. One week later the citizens of Shubert likewise enter- tained the members of the company to a chicken dinner. The Humboldt band was there to help with the entertainment. It rained slightly, so that the dinner was served in a hall secured by the ladies. The company put on an exhibition drill at this place.
The membership of the local lodges of the Daughters of Rebekah and of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of Falls City, entertained the company at a banquet given at the Christian church at a later date. Before their departure the company was also entertained by the ladies of Falls City and vicinity and also by the members of the Falls City post of the Grand Army of the Republic and the Woman's Relief Corps.
LOCAL PRIDE TAKEN IN COMPANY E.
Those engaged in the work were given the use of the court room at the court house, where they received recruits who came from every precinct of the county. It was a busy time of year, as the farming season was on and every man desiring employment found his time engaged, as did those of the towns.
Richardson county takes especial pride in the fact that the member- ship of Company E is made up of the finest young men of the county. They came from all walks of life, many of them leaving the plow; while others were engaged in farming on their own account and were sure, in a financial way, to be losers. The same may be said of others who gave up well-established business enterprises and good paying positions to answer their country's call to the colors.
Prof. C. A. Beaver who had been employed in the city schools at Falls City for a number of years as an instructor, was honored with a commis- sion from Gov. Keith Neville, as captain of the company, and Jean B. Cain, who had lately been the recipient of an appointment as acting county judge of the county and who, until that time, had been enjoying a very lucrative law practice, and was, besides, a married man with a wife and one child, hastened to put aside all other calls and joined the company in the very early days of its organization. He was honored also with a com-

mission from the governor as first lieutenant. Mr. Ed. D. Fisher, to whose initiative the company owes much for its organization, was given the place of second lieutenant, and it is with regret that it becomes necessary to here record the fact that upon the final muster of the company into federal service he was found to be barred by age from holding his place so richly deserved. He was forty-two years of age; forty being the limit, hence he was barred. It is said that this disability might have been overcome had the matter been taken up at the proper time. However, undaunted, Mr. Fisher is at the present time busily engaged in the organization of another company which will become a part of the Seventh Nebraska Regiment, for which a number of companies have already been enlisted.
ROSTER OF COMPANY E.
Immediately after the company had been mustered into service the men were mobilized at Falls City and given quarters at the city park, where they occupied the city auditorium, a frame structure of large size used for public gatherings and admirably suited for the present purpose. The names of the members of Company E, Sixth Regiment, Nebraska National Guard, follow :
