at Calhoun, Nebraska, whereby one man
was instantly killed and three others serious
ly wounded. 1t occurred Us most Of the Dor
der troubles do among settlers, by an effort
on the part of the first claimant to eject by
force, anintruder 1t seems that q party
had taken possession of the site of old Fort
Calhoun and laid out town: They had a
cabin on the site Of the town in which were
some cooking utensils "A man by the name OF
Davis moved into the cabin jumping the claim
of the Company and taking possession of the
embrio city, streets, allies, lots, and all. The
company mustered from Council Bluffs and
Omaha City force of some twenty men,
and went to drive Davis from the premises.
He having notice of their intentions mustered
an equal force from De Soto and gave battle.
Mr. Serman Gross of Council Bluffs was kill
ed and Messrs Yeoman, Purple, and Thomp-
son seriously wounded, all Of the attacking
party. fsz
