A Disastrous Runaway.

North Marshall street was the scene of
most disastrous runaway, on Tuesday
evening. Mrs. c. NJ Noble was out
driving the two thoroughbred colts in
the family carriage, which contained her
aged mother, Mrs Patton, her baby,
Master Carl and Mrs R. B. Simmonds,
in addition to herself The horses
started to run, without any apparent
cause, in the northwestern part of the
city, toward home.
Just after rounding the corner at G. E
Jennings dwelling the left rear wheel of
the carriage collapsed, and the occu-
pants of the carriage were thrown to the
ground with great violence, and three of
them severely injured, Mrs. Simmonds
and Master Carl escaping with but slight
hurts. The injured were removed to
neighboring residences. and Drs. Kay
and Gage summoned, the injuries of the
wounded dressed, after which all were
carefully carried home and made as
comfortable as the nature Of their in
juries would permit.
Mrs. Noble has two fractured ribs, a
fractured shoulder blade and displaced
thumb to remind her of the disaster
Mrs. Patton was severely cut and bruised
about the face, head and body Baby
Noble was badly bruised about the head
and his injuries were at first regarded as
serious.
But We are delighted to state that all
are getting along very favorably and
encouraginglv.
The horses were secured near the home
barn practically uninjured. The carriage
was considerably damaged.
1t was an appalling sight to behold,
and an almost miraculous escape for the
participants.

If you are interested to know what the
Russian thistle can accomplish in short
time notice the field just south of the old
Cliff place, west of the city. This field
of but few acres is practically over
grown by the thistle. 1t is our opinion
that in year or two at most many peo-
pie in Red Willow county will regret
that they did not take energetic meas
ures promptly to eradicate the Russian
thistle. 1t is dangerous weed.

Little Matters of interest.

Everything in any way connected with
the early days is of interest to old set
tiers, and SO many different versions and
accounts Of incidents and places are
given one is sometimes al a loss to know
what to take as fact. The real first
| settler" has been so completely set aside
| by la'er claimants that it is with special
gratihcation that we can give acknowl-
edged authority for statements made
as, for instance, the location of Camp
Alexis and the time of the celebrated
hunt. When, in the June Cosmopolitan.
an article came out from the pen Of
Buffalo Bill, it was read with eager
ness. 1t could be seen how mistakes
occur. even by the soldiers who claimed
to have been in the escort;-they plainly
confounded one hunting party with an
other. But in the article by Mr.. Cody
there was an error as to time, and a
letter was sent to him asking for infor-
nation in regard to the actual site of
Camp Alexis and calling attention to
the wrong date. The following is the
reply, which corroborates what was
known in the early years, except the
| distance from the mouth of the creel,
was forty miles instead Of TWENTY-FIVE
a mistake easily made when there was
nothing by which to tell distance.
AMBROSE PARK, S. BROOKLYN, NY,
June II, 1894.
| In reply to yours OF the 9th inst ask
ing whereabouts on the Red Willow
Camp Alexis was located, will try TO tell
you: Do you know where the old gov
ernment road running from Fort Nc
Pherson to the Republican crossed the
Red Willow, some twenty-five miles
above the mouth OF the Red Willow?
Well, it was about one mile above where
the road crossed the creek on the east
side of the creek. Alexis camped there
several days in January, 1872 The
article says '73 but it was a mistake Of
the printer. AS 1 am going to visit the
Old camping ground some day, if YOU
will let me know where you live I would
be pleased to call on you and l would
like to know how you like the country,
etc Very truly yours,
w r. CODY.
One of the original first settlers. L. K.
Sitter, removed from Red Willow in
| about 1874 to a claim at this old gov
ernment crossing" and it was so we'll
known as the site Of Camp Alexis, that
when this postofice was to be establish
ed, it was question which it should be
| called, Alexis or Carrico, the maiden
name of Mrs Sit1er;-Carrico was de-
cided upon.
Recently was indirectly corrected in
my pronunciation Of ''Wauneta. It
seems now to be ''Waunetta." Perhaps
little unwritten history of that name
! will be Of interest twenty-five OF three
years ago the sentimental song of
"Juanita" was popular. Mr.. and Mrs.
Rowley were early settlers of Red Viii
low and had the-at that tirne-onIy
piano in any part Of the country Mrs.
Rowley sung the song and was fond Of
it and when after some years they re-
moved to the Frenchman, she decided
to give this name to their postofice. L
asked Ter how she expected US common
people to spell it correctly. co." she
said, "we'n spell it as pronounced
W-a-u-n-e-t-a," and as such it was
established

Next to the devil, the oppressor is most
to be hated. Tyranny and arrogance
have no proper place in our economy,
and unyielding opposition to them
should be items of religious1y observed
practice. He alone is free who asserts
and maintains his freedom. He is most
slave who yields without struggle.
