Mrs. MacMurphy's statement that the mother of Chief Joseph La Flesche was a Pawnee appears to be erroneous: she was of the Omaha tribe. (See Twenty-seventh Annual Report of the Bureau. of American Ethnology, page 631.) The Christian name of Mr. Allis was Samuel, not William as printed in the newspaper clipping.
THE INDIAN FIGHT ON THE LITTLE BLUE.
Some more details of the running fight with the Indians on the Little Blue are given by John Gilbert, overland stage driver, who with Robert Emery occupied the box on the stage that day- August 7, 1864. To refresh the memory of the reader it is well to say that the stage had left the Constable wagon train in the rear and was pressing on toward Oak Grove station when the Indians were encoun- tered. At about the same time the station was under siege. The story of the race is told at length in volume XIX of the Society's publications. Mr. Gilbert writes from Red Cloud about the experience of his party on the stage coach:
"We all saw the Indians about the same time. They were not ahead of us; they were south of us and we were going west. They were behind a short bend in the spring branch which was south of us about 200 yards.
"I think somebody asked what we would do, and I proposed that we go back to Constable's train. It was then suggested by one of the passengers that a vote be taken and everybody voted to go back. The driver, Robert Emery, then turned the team around. The In- dians had not seen us until we started back on the trot when they heard the coach rattle. The Indians were looking for the coach to come down into the bottom on the traveled road, and when they saw it they gave an unearthly yell. They started to cut us off from the traveled track but missed it, as the horses were running downhill. After we got back into the traveled road some of them to the south of us were not over 50 yards off.
"There was a place, it was what we called a draw, where he would have had to check up if we had crossed it where the travel did.

But as the passengers were shooting out of the doors, as were some of us from the top of the coach, I directed Emery to cross the draw farther north as there was an old track that went straight across the draw where it was not deep. Where the travel crossed the draw it went stra ght east and turned south in the bottom of the draw and then turned east again to get out. To make the turns, going as we were, would have tipped us over, and if we had checked our speed the Indians would have caught up with us. There were only about eight or ten Indians that could go as fast as we were going.
"The three men in the coach were armed with pistols. They did considerable shooting at times. The only effect from the shooting that I could see was that it made the Indians swing farther away.
"I think the Indians all had bows and arrows. Those that came close to the coach had pisto's or guns and carried lances. That was the only bunch that had lances that I noticed. When we first saw them. before we turned around to go back, they looked awful naked sitting on their ponies, their lances glistening in the sun.
"The Indians followed the coach road within about a quarter of a mile from the wagon train where they pulled off south to the timber of the Little Blue.
"Mr. Constable and I had a little trouble of our own in regard to letting the coach go by. His train had stopped at the first sight of the Indians chasing the coach. The train had stopped as they were going from low bottom to high bottom or bench land. Now as I had bossed the movements of the coach on all that trip, I naturally wanted to continue to control the movements of the coach. So just as soon as the horses got their wind I commanded the front driver to crowd his team, six yoke, over so the coach could go by. He was looking at the Indians and did not answer me. I spoke louder so everybody heard it. Mr. Constable was there sitting on his horse and so were all of the wagon bosses and extra hands in the four or five trains. Instead of asking me what was wanted he spoke very important and said he was running that train, and a few words passed between us. By that time the women and passengers all understood what was going on and ob- jected to leaving the train. My intention was to go on down the road, which I still think would have been all right, as the Indians did not go as far east as Kiowa that day, but followed the train west. After the Indians left, the train drove up the Blue River to Little Blue Station and stopped for dinner at about 2 p. m. The cattle were turned across the river to graze. There were twenty wagons loaded with liquor, four mules to a wagon. The mules were turned out on the north side of the river close by. The stagecoach followed the train up to Little Blue Station with the passengers and everybody that was on or in the coach. Speaking about this, right in the old History of Nebraska, the women on the coach never got out of the coach when we got back to Constable's train. They objected awful strong against leaving the train."
FIRST SETTLEMENTS IN THE REPUBLICAN VALLEY.
Dear Editor :- In the April-May issue reference is made to the establishing by Royal Buck of the first colony in Red Willow county, in 1872. He was the president of the Republican Valley Land Co., or- ganized in Nebraska City in the fall of 1871, and with a party of ten men was sent to the Republican valley, and arrived at what is now Red Willow county on November 20, 1871. The party was there about a week, locating a town site and claims, and returned to Ne- brakka City, arriving on December 9, 1871.
The land on which the town site and claims were located had just been surveyed, and the plats had not been made in the surveyor gen- eral's office. So there was a special plat made for the party, which was taken to Beatrice, and filings were made. This was about Janu- ary 1, 1872.
I was one of the party, and can see no reason why the initial set- tlement was not made in November, 1871. There were some partisan county seat feelings which might have something to do with the dates of that period.
John Longnecker, Indianola, Nebr.
In Royal Buck's diary of the expedition it appears that there were nine persons in the party; that on the night of November 20 it camped on the west bank of Medicine Creek some distance east of the boundary between the counties of Furnas and Red Willow which was established about a year later; that they reached Red Willow Creek on the 22d; chose the site for the proposed town of Red Willow on the 25th; and started homeward on the 29th. A comprehensive account of "The Be- ginning of Red Willow County" is printed in volume XIX of the publi- cations of the Historical Society, which will soon be issued.
REORGANIZATION OF THE NEWSPAPER DEPARTMENT.
About the year 1891 the Historical Society began a systematic col- lection of Nebraska newspapers and other periodicals. This collec- tion has been increased from year to year, and it now comprises about five hundred distinct periodicals, which are preserved and bound each year. This library of Nebraska history long ago outgrew the original space provided for it and the plan for classifying and indexing. Sev- eral thousand volumes of these files have been placed in the Society's store room at Sixteenth and H strects. They were so crowded in the space spared for them at the rooms of the Society that it was very difficult conveniently to find particular volumes as they were called for. A complete rearrangement of these files has been made lately by Mr. E. E. Blackman and Miss Martha M. Turner of the Society's staff. Each volume has been labeled and placed in alphabetical order, and a list of all newspapers and other periodicals in the collection and a diagram of the shelves have been made.
There are now over ten thousand bound volumes in the collection. Before long a pamphlet list of the files will be published and distributed to the public. Letters asking for information contained in old news- papers are frequently received. The Historical Society affords the safcst and most useful depository for early Nebraska newspapers, and it desircs to procure all that are available.
A NOTABLE COLLECTION FROM FT. CALHOUN.
E. E. Blackman, curator of the Nebraska State Historical Society, has just returned from a visit to Ft. Calhoun. He packed three large boxes of material gathered by W. H. Woods from the site of the old fort, and this, in connection with the material already in the museum, will form a complete museum study of this early military post.
This is the most valuable collection added to the museum this year and when properly mounted, labeled and displayed, will be well worth a careful study.
Some years ago, Mr. Woods came to live in the village of Ft. Calhoun and being historically inclined he began to investigate the past history of his locality. He has continued the good worrk, until today the life and death story of this interesting spot is well authenti- cated.
Mr. Woods has not only searched the records of Ft. Calhoun, but he has searched the site of the old fort and gathered many relics from the historic ground. From time to time Mr. Woods has sent curios to the Nebraska State Historical Society from this fort, but he also retained many of the interesting things found there, until his home became quite a museum where visitors enjoyed his hospitality and interesting stories about the old fort.
THE FRENCH IN NEBRASKA.
The earliest white explorers of "The Nebraska Country" were Frenchmen who first came about the year 1700, via the Missouri River. They intermarried with Nebraska Indians and many of the descend- ants from these marriages are still living. The pioneer Frenchmen gave their names to many streams and trading posts, and they served as guides to the first American expeditions, under Lewis and Clark, Fremont and others. There are five or six, and perhaps more, French settlements in the state at the present time which deserve special at- tenlion. The French element in the population of Nebraska is not large-5,178 by the census of 1910. These citizens of French origin are intensely loyal to American institutions, and just now, when every- thing about France is of special interest, the story of the French in Nebraska will doubtless be read with pleasure and profit. This sub- ject will receive further attention in future publications of the Histori- cal Society.
OREGON PROMISES NEBRASKA REMINISCENCES.
George H. Himes, assistant secretary of the Oregon Historical Society, writes:
"Nos. 3-4, April-May, 1918, of 'Nebraska History and Record of Pioneer Days,' received, but badly mutilated in the mails. This is much regretted because the useful publication deserves permanent fil- ing. Therefore, if agreeable to you, I would like another copy.
"I came through what is now Nebraska before there was a house in Omaha. I remember very well, indeed, when I had to rustle 'right smai;t' to get 'buffalo chips' for fuel.
"By and by, possibly, I might drop you a few reminiscences, if you think it worth while. I crossed the plains from I'linois in 1853."
Gen. J. H. Culver writes from Milford that he hopes soon to be ab'e to furnish a brief history of Troop A, N. N. G., and Troop K, Third U. S. Vol. Cavalry in the Spanish-American war. He says that this is the only military organization from Seward county that has served in any war and about three hundred young men of Seward county served in this organization during its existence. Gen. Culver says a'so that Troop A marched over a thousand miles, participated in twelve state encampments, and represented in its membership nearly every part of Seward county, notably Beaver Crossing, Pleasant Dale, Tamora, Utica, Staplehurst, Goehner, Milford, besides a small squad from Seward.
A breezy letter is received from R. S. Schofield of Shickley, who thinks the story of early days at Aspinwall might be made more com- plete if the old settlers would tell all they know. One of the inci- dents in the career of the town that he recalls is that there was a ferry cable stretched across the river, and a government boat ran into it, knocked the cabin off and killed the pilot. If the stories could all be told, the early towns would furnish histories of many tragedies and romances.
Writing about the dedication of the monument at Oak Grove, Mrs. Eva M. Follmer, of Oak, Nebr., says that the interest and enjoy- ment of the occasion would have been completq if Mr. Follmer could have lived to be there. He had done so much work in promoting the establishment of the monument and in preserving the history of the early events of that locality, that it was the uppermost thought in his mind during the last two years of his life.
J. M. Burress, of Nemaha county, in sending remittance for mem- bership dues, writes an interesting letter about historical affairs of his county. He settled in the county April 1, 1856, and has prepared some articles relating to freighting days and the early settlement of Nemaha county. He is now president of the Nemaha County His- torical Society.
The Boone County Old Settlers Association held its annual meet- ing and picnic at the Boone county fair grounds, Albion. August 15. Congressman Sloan was the principal speaker. The call for the meet- ing was made by Garrett Van Camp, vice president, and F. M. Weitzel, secretary.
S. E. Pearson, cashier of the Bank of Monroe, in sending remit- tance, writes that he is "glad to have the opportunity to become one of the members of the Nebraska State Historical Society."
William A. Wolfe writes from Beatrice: "A wonderful lot of good reading in the April and May issue. Extravagantly rich is the least I can comment on the good stories."
Writing from Omaha, Mrs. Harriet S. MacMurphy says: "Very much interested in your magazine, and glad to have a little share."
