and failing to pay taxes on the same, the tract was purchased by Mich- ael Herman, who sold it to the railroad company for $500. The town never reached any great size, though was from its foundation an im- portant grain shipping point. Two elevators are located there. Its population is about 150. The town received a set-back in 1892 by a fire which destroyed a number of business places.
CROWELL.
In December, 1883, the town of Crowell was platted by the Elk- horn Land Company, the site chosen being on the railroad three-fourths of a mile west of the old Crowell post-office. The present population of the town is 100. There are two elevators at this place, a lumber yard, a few general stores, and a hotel. The latter was started in ISS4 by Herman Diers, who is still its proprietor.

THE PRESS.
HE first newspaper to be published west of the Missouri River, in the Platte valley, outside of the city of Omaha, was The Fremont Tribune, which was established in the summer of 1868 by J. N. Hayes. Mr. Hayes continued to conduct this paper as a weekly until 1872, when an interest in it was purchased by Frank G. Parcell and the publishing firm continued under the name of J. N. Hayes & Company until the death of Mr. Hayes in 1873. Soon after the death of Mr. Hayes the plant and paper was pur- chased by the Tribune Printing Company, and Mr. Fred Nye became the editor of the paper. In 1877, W. H. Michel purchased a half inter- est in the plant, Mr. Nye becoming the owner of the other half and until May, 1879, the style of the publishing firm was Michel & Nye. At the latter date Messrs. Brown & Hammond purchased the plant and soon after Mr. Brown disposed of his interest and the firm became George Hammond & Son, Mr. Frank Hammond becoming editor of the paper. In 1882, Ross L. Hammond procured a half interest in the plant and paper and the firm became Hammond Brothers, the style of the present publishing firm. May 21st, 1883, The Daily Tribune was issued. In 1895 the weekly edition was changed to tri-weekly and has since then been published as such. Under the management of the Hammond Brothers The Tribune has taken a place among the leading papers of to-day and the plant from its small beginning has grown to be the second largest west of the Missouri River to the Rocky Mountains.

11, 1902, fire destroyed the interior of the Tribune building, causing a loss of nearly $50,000. Not an issue of the paper was missed, and in a few weeks time the building was rebuilt and occupied.
In 1870 The Fremont Weekly Herald was founded by W. G Schaf- fer, who, in 1873, sold it to R. D. Kelly, who commenced the publication of The Daily Herald. In 1876 N. W. Smails purchased the paper and plant and has since been the owner and publisher of both the Weekly and The Daily Herald.
On July 30, 1883, the Platte River Zeitung, the first German paper in the Platte Valley, was issued by Emil Burg. One year later the paper was purchased by its present owner and editor, Charles R. Schaffer.
In March, 1891, the Dodge County Leader was founded by J. W. Sherwood, who after conducting it for ten months sold it to George L. Torray. A few years later, it was acquired by R. D. Kelly, who is still its publisher and editor.
At different times efforts were made to establish other papers in the city of Fremont. One, the Journal, was started along in the 'So's and after a few years was acquired by J. W. Hyatt, who changed its name to the Daily Flail, and, who, with his brother, C. W. Hyatt, who for some years had been publishing a paper at North Bend, conducted the paper for two years, when the Flail Publishing Company was formed, consisting of R. D. Kelly, C. W. Ilyatt and others. In 1892, G. W. Rosa purchased the plant and published the paper for six weeks under the name of The News. Then the paper reverted to its former owners and became known as The Flail, and after a few years ceased to exist.
In January, 1892, the second German Weekly, The Nebraska Democrat, was established at Fremont, and enjoyed a life of a few years.
In 1892, The Eye, a weekly non-partisan paper was started by Hutchinson and James, but died of non-support in its early youth.
The first paper to be published at North Bend was The Independ- ent, founded in 1879 by Dr. Elwood. This paper was succeeded in June, 1882, by The Bulletin, published by H. T. Millard. The Bulletin

was removed to Central City and the same year C. W. Hyatt com - menced the publication of The Flail, which he afterwards removed to Fremont. In 1888 The Protector was established at North Bend by E. J. Sekora, who one year later sold it to E. E. Davis, who changed its name to The Star. After a few years existence, The Star ceased to shine. In April, 1890, The North Bend Argus was started by W. K. and C. S. Fowler, who, after successfully publishing it for a few years, sold it to J. C. Newsom, who changed its name to The North Bend Eagle and still remains its publisher and editor. In 1885 The North Bend Journal was started by A. M. Walton and others, who had organ- ized a stock company for the publishing of a Democratic paper. The Journal at the end of a year, died a lingering death.
In 1885 The Hooper Sentinel was established by W. A. Crandall, who, in 1886, sold it to its present owner and publisher, Mr. E. W. Renkin.
In 1884 The Scribner News was established at Scribner by J. S. Bellinger. About two months after its first issue the paper was sold to Whitehorn and Hasson, and soon afterwards Mr. Whitehorn became its owner and in May, 1885, sold the paper to John Hazlitt, who published it until his death in December, 1888. Upon the death of Mr. Hazlitt, W. K. Fowler, Jr., became the owner and editor of the paper, and in April, 1890, sold it to its present owner, Mr. W. H. Weekes.
In November, 1894, The Rustler was established at Scribner by Joe Camp and on June 1, 1897, was purchased by M. H. Kidder, who has successfully conducted it since then.
In 1887 a paper was established at Dodge under the name of The Advertiser. Soon after The Criterion was started, and soon a consoli- dation of both papers took place, the name "Criterion" being used. The paper passed through a number of hands. Its files and plant burned in 1895, and finally in 1901 was acquired by its present owner and editor, J. J. McFarland.
