NO RECORDS FOR TEN YEARS
Naturalization Books in Gage County
Are Non Est for One
Decade.

District Clerk John r. Quien OF Gage
county, writes the United States circuit
court clerk that the naturalization record
OF Gage county, from the year 1878 to
1884 Is a blank" there being no record Of
naturaiizations there for ten years.
The letter came In response TO an inquiry
from e. w. Spencer, q citizen of Denver,
who had sent to the United States circuit
court here for the naturalization record OF
his father. who was naturalized in Gage
county in the year 1884 Deputy Circuit
Court Clerk Nicholson wrote to Gage
county for the requisite information.
The admission OF Clerk Quien of Gage
county that there is no record of this kind
for ten years is likely to cause an endless
amount Of trouble to the heirs Of parties
naturalized in Gage county during those
ten years, 1t was during the period
from 1873 to 1884 that the big Mennonite
colony was established in Gage and Clay
counties and the descendants Of these
oolonists are now among the wealthiest
and most prosperous citizens in that section
of the state. and they comprise a very
considerable portion Of the population OF
