Jected, but while this is true, the evidence

and grateful recognition by the country. /; !

OMAHA. Neb., Nov. 5-The elopement of
Mrs. Laura SOper, of Beatrice, Neb.,
with James Vance, butcher, brings
TO mind an interesting bit Oh from
tier history. Mrs. Soper,s maiden name
was Laura Roper, she being the
daughter of Hon. Joseph 81. Roper, of Gage
county. In 1862 Laura was beautiful gTl
of 10, and was engaged to young train-boss
named Kelly. AT that time there were no
settlements west of the Big Sandy, in Thayer
county, except at the military posts ana
ranches along Uncle Sam's highway. These
ranches usually consisted of rude log house,
surrounded with stockade, and were from
forty to fifty miles apart, Kelly started an
establishment of this kind at Oak Grove, on
the Little Blue, i'll what is now Nuckolls
county. On the day of the fearful Indian
massacre, in August, 1864, Laura was going
from Spring ranch TO Oak Grove by stage.
The Indians on that day made general at
tack on the whites all along the tray-
eled road, from Julesburg clear east
to the Big Sandy, nearly zoe
miles, bands of savages springing on the lit
tie settlements simultaneously. The stage
in which Laura was riding was riddled with
bullets, and the driver ana otnef passengers
killed, the girl being carried off prisoner
She was taken to Oak Grove, where the
Indians decoyed her lover into converse
tiou with the chiefs, and then killed him
before her eyes. From Kelly's ranch the red
fiends went to the home of the Ubanks
family, where they shot ten people, sparinG
