FREMONT, Neb., April 9-To the Editor
Of The Bee: The story told by Rev. Mr.
Caldwell is libelous Of this day forty years
ago. I landed in Omaha forty years ago
March Is; came up the river on the old War
Eagle; the river at that time was as clear
Of ice as 1t is today. We were landed on
sandbar a little above the Union Pacific
bridge before noon, and owing to the large
number Of idle men just discharged from
work on the line of the Union Pacific I
started TO walk to the Bluffs. When I got
to the river the fellow who was running
the ferryboat took part Of my So cents,
that was the exact amount Of my capital.
Had it been SIS these lines would never
have been written, for my longing desire
just then was for the hills Of Ohio. My
first months work was out doors for a
Mr.. Fox, back on the hill not far from
Benson. There was not over two or three
inches OF snow that spring after my ar
