houses plundered, their cattle stolen,
and their crops destroyed by the In
dians. Even for miles around the
border property was not safe from the
thieving propensities of these misera-
BILE savages. This was the first great
draw back to the prosperity OF Blue
Earth county. The second came in
the shape Of hard times. The great
panic of 1857 soon made itself felt in
Minnesota. The fever of speculation,
incident upon the great immigration
of previous years Lad carried the price
of land far above its real value, ana
had covered the country with paper
towns. The cessation of business caus-
ed by the panic, and the almost entire
stuppage of immigration caused as
sudden and complete depreciation in
values of real estate. The pendulum
having swung to one extremity OF its
arc rapidly fell back to the opposite
extreme. The country, filled with
of nom producing inhabi-
tants, found itself in want of the COM
mon necessaries of life, and without
money to purchase them. The farms
were all new, and the crops were not
sufficient to feed even the farmers who
raised them. They found themselves
in the condition of people who ex-
ported nothing, imported everything,
and were destitute of either money or
credit to pay for their imports.
People must live, however, and the
citizens of Blue Earth county by
reason of pluck and energy and dog
ged persistence, managed to weather
the storm. Many disheartened ones
fed, it is true, as it was best for the

The state courts finally deciding that
no occupancy of lots which did not date
prior to March 6, 1866, the date on
which application was made for the
entry of the townsi.e, should be con-
sidered as giving the occupants any
claim to the ground.
In 1855 the Winnebago Indians were
removed to this vicinity, and tract
thirteen miles wide and twenty five
long was set apart as reservation for
them. This tract unfortunately, en-
braced six and half townships in
Blue Earth county, including what
are now known as the towns of Nc
Pherson, Decoria, Rapidan, Lyra,
Beauford, Medo, and portions of LIE
Ray, Mankato and South Bend. With
in this reservation were nearly all the
valuable water powers of the county,

had settled on lands included within

The first sawmill was built by George
W. Lay in 1866. The first hotel was
a small shanty located on what is now
Mankato city. The Mankato House
on the corner of Front and Hickory
streets was opened by Henry Shaubut
in 1854. The first church was the
Catholic, built on the corner of Main
and Fifth streets, under the super
vision of Father Somereisen, an ener-
getic and faithful priest, to whom the
Catholic church in Mankato is largely
indebted for its prosperity. The first
brick building was built of Mankato
brick, on the corner of Second and
Rock streets.
In 1854 and 1866 the settlers received
large accession to their number.
Prominent among the now arrivals
were Rev. James Thomson, first min
lister of the Presbyterian church,
Theron Parsons, George A. Clarke,
Lewis Branson, Stephen and Leo.

At the first election in 1868 there
were only % votes polled in the
county. In 1856 the number increased
to Sc, and in 1866 to 216. 1857 was
the great year of immigration, and the
town grew rapidly. Two stone build
ings were erected on Front street, one
by Samuel Leach, the other by White
and Marks Claim hunters pervaded
the whole country. Land officers were
kept busy registering pre-emptions.
Farms were opened in all directions
around. New towns were laid out,
and this year found prosperous vii
lagos growing up at South Bend, Jud-
son, Garden City. Mapleton, Shelby
Vile and Vernon.
Meanwhile an opinion had gained
ground in Mankato, that the title OF
the old townsite company was defec-
tive, in consequence of their having
settled on the land. and made their
surveys before the Indian title was ex-
tinguished. A new company was
formed, which Immediately re-survey-
ed and made claim to the townsite.
In the conflict which ensued between
the two companies the settlers con-
ceived the idea that the occupants OF
the lots were the true owners, and they
to whom the title should come from
the government. So fever OF jump
ing lots broke out, and ragged till every
lot was claimed, and the townsite Gov
cred with mushroom growth OF
board shanties. From the ground the
contest was carried to the courts,
where it was waged for several years.

Warren and George E. Van Brunt set

which farms have now become War
ren's and Van Brunt's additions.
Our pioneers were not exempt from
the hardships and privations which
usually accompany pioneer life Even
the most common articles of food and
clothing had to be brought from a
great distance. In the spring and sum-
mer the occasional arrival of steam
boat was the only sensation the town
afforded, and in the winter the route
to civilization lay through wilder
ness where the only track was an In
dian trail. In the midst of this wild
erness lay the little town with its
dozen or so of log houses, standing
where the feet of LIE Sueur and his
companions a century and half be-
fore had SO often passed in their fruit

Minnesota.

There was. however, this great
difference between the pioneers of 1909
and those of 1869. The former came
searching for the riches of the soil and
the spoils of the savage inhabitants,
to bear them away to their native
land the latter to found homes for
themselves and their descendants, and
give to the wilderness which had
waited their coming SO long, the
priceless gift of civilization. The
former commenced by building fort,
which in TWO years they had aban-
doned the latter commenced by build
ing dwellings and school houses, the
results of which we see today. The
former enterprise was failure-the
latter success. The pioneers of 1902
built for the present only, and their
ephemeral works have passed away
forever from mortal sight. The
pioneers of 1862 built not for the pres
ent but for the future, and they have
reared monument on the bank of
the sky tinted Minnesota, more endur-
ing than marble or brass.
The progress of the new settlement
was now rapid. A board of county
commissioners was elected, consisting
of John s. Hinckley, James Hanna
and J. w. Babcock, who met il Man
kato August 6, 1868. and organized the
county of Blue Earth. The first records
of this board still exist in little book
which had previously been used as a
record of pre-emption claims, and as
an account book, by one of the early
traders. The first school was taught
by Miss Sarah J. Hanna. P. K.
johnson was the first post master.
