stated. What followed as a
consequence of that election
contest and the unfair decision
of the county clerk whoheard It,
will be detailed in my next pa
per, but Just now l have some
thing to record Is a kind of
addenda, to the ludicrous circum-
stance OF my falling through the

night of fifty years ago.
It was, | think, about twenty
years afterwards and when the
episode had passed from my

trial of a cause, in our district
court. Ny client was defend

plaintiff. Among the witnesses
for the plaintiff (who was Mr.
Herman Tiehen an extensive
farmer and land owner west of
Salem, and who is yet one of
our most valuable citizens) was
a lady who / learned was Mrs.
Tiehen, but whom [ did not

more kindly treated, and | don't

to relate in connection that fall
in the river which [ will attend
to presently,
We passed an agreeable night
with our friends and after 4
hearty breakfast in the morning
we went over to Spicer precinct
and put in an active day among
the voters, assisted by Mr.. Roth
enberger, Joseph Walton,
and some others from both forks
of the river, Long branch, Easily
Creek and other points, and
when the votes were counted
Falls City had received a very
comfortable majority: and when
the votes of the county were
canvassed Falls City was found
to be not only one Of the four
for the next race, but had re-
ceived the highest number Of
any of them, though short of a
majority Of the whole. T h e
high towns were Falls City, Sa-
lem, Rulo and ST. Stephen, and
about two weeks after another
election was held with those
named as the candidates. In
that election Rulo and st. Ste
phen fell out, and the final tilt
occurred between Salem a n d

We left Falls City the day be

tier and Il strong friend of our
town. Mr. othenbeger lived ON
the north side OF the river at Il
point 4 few miles west of the
present town OF Dawson, and
believe his son of the same
name, John Rothenberger, is
now the owner Of the old home
stead. From Salem We travel
ed between the Nemahas, and
to get to Mr.. Rothenberger's we
had TO cross the river, which we
could not do with the team be
cause the river was hard frozen
and the banks were SO steep as
to make it dangerous to try to
take the horses over.
1t was dark when We reached
the place for crossing and as
there was an old log stable on
the south bank of the river, we
put the horses in it and after
feeding with corn we had in the
wagon for the purpose, prepared
to cross over to Mr.. Rothen-
berger's house, which stood not
far from the river. Crook and
Simpkins, both much larger and
heavier tndn myself, got over
all right, but when | made the
attempt and had reached about
the middle of the stream the
ice broke under me, and went
down.

an end as al terrestrial things
do, shading itself off INTO the
autumn and the autumn into win
ter, and then the snow and the
blizzard, and the storm of Il
heated yes. redhot county seat
fight that lasted for many Il
year after,
As remarked in Il former pa
per, the removal Of the seat of
county government, by act of
the legislature, from Archer to
Salem, was not at all satisfac-
tory to the people, and the de
mand that the legislature pro
vide for the submission of the
question to 4 vote of the peo-
pie, was general throughout the
county. 1t wonl d doubtless
have been attended to by the
preceding Legislature which met
At Omaha in the winter before,
viz, 1857 and 1858, but for the
fact of the split that occurred
in that body, by which II fac
ton moved up to Florence, an
old Mormon town, while the
other remained in Omaha. |
have mentioned this Circum-
stance in a former paper, and it
is sufficient TO say that neither
faction was the legal law-mak-
ing power, and no law was
made. The one, however, that
we elected in August, 80, and
convened in October following,
by proclamation of the COVER
nor, passed an act empowering
the commissioners of the coun-
ty to call an election for the
purpose of choosing a perma-
nent seat OF government, by
vote of the people. The law
provided that at the first cleo
ton, every town in the county
could be a candidate for that
honor, but if no one of them
should receive a majority of all
the votes cast, the commission
ers should call another election,
and only the four towns receiv-
ing the highest number of votes
at the first election, assuming
that there should be more than
four contestants for the place.,
could be voted for at the next,
and if none of them should re-
ceive a majority, then the two
highest was to be selected as
candidates in the third and last
election, which would Of neces-
slty, end the contest. BY the
terms of TIE act, the elections
were TO be called in quick sue
cesSion, and were, in tact, held
in t h t month of December.
There were several candidates,
Rulo, Winnebago, Nancton, St.
Stephens, Archer, Falls City,
Salem, Geneva, Middleburgh,
and may be some other points,
but as only the four highest
could be voted for at the second
election, the others are unim-
portant. The first battle was
to be one of the four, and to
win out must be one of the two
IN the last heat and the highest
III the number of votes, in other
words, the winner must take all
the tricks. 1t was Falls City'S
hour of trial, and though she
took all the tricks aud came out
ahead in the final and last cleo
ton, she was later deprived of
the fruit of her victory by a so
called contest of the election,
which by statute, was heard ana
decided by the county clerk who
proved it to be an unfair or dis
honest official who held against
Falls City, and gave the county
seat to Salem, Notwithstanding
the proofs showed that a clear
majority of the votes had been
cast for Falls City.

The battle had been a hard one,
and though trieked out Of our
success, we were by no means
snbdued, and preparations for Il
renewal of the contest with
greater Vigor than ever, We're
at once set on foot.
There are not many in life to-

dozen people who participated

probably see what | here say
about it, | shall take it as a
favor if they will indicate any
inaccuracy of statement they
may observe in my version of
the facts, and rest assured that
all proper corrections will be
promptly made.
And now let me indulge in
something of retrospectiOn. TO
bring before my mental vision
the times, the scenes and the
principal actors in that long
past struggle for local and pol
itical supremacy, | must bring
back the vacant country, abolish
the court house, the prosperous
towns, the railroads, the splen-
did farms with their comfort
able dwellings,, barns and rural
improvements that mark t h {
intervening years of progress;
think away the fine church
buildings a d school houses,
public roads and bridges of iron
and stone, r%eSurreCt the dead
and re-instate the wild waste
and the wilderness things of a
day that is dead, for in no other
way can | present what | have
in memory, blurred and faded
as they are, by the flight of so
many years: that what | write
may become ineligible to 9th
ers. The conditions were very
pr m a [ i We and the sur
roundings exceedingly poor, but
everybody was full of ener-
gy, vim and hope, and the com.

something looked { or. Falls
City, Il little hamlet of six or
eight novels that looked like
they had ran away from some
where and got lost on the prai-
RE, had some 80 or 60 peo-
pie living IN it that Spring, had
something near $50 when the
fight opened. When it became
known that the act had passed
authorizing the people of the
county to settle the county seat
question in the mode | have
mentioned, 4 council of war was
held, noses counted and our gen
eral resources in the way of
votes taken into account. We
had many friends on the Muddy
and its alluents the McElroy,
Goosby and Sardim branches,
quite good number ON the north
and south forks Of the Nemaha,
and ON Long branch in the
northwest part Of the county.
There was but one voting place
west of Salem. It was ON the
South fork of the Nemaha and
not far from the west boundary
OF the county, at the house of a
Mr.. Spicer. That voting place
has always retained the name
and the country in the southwest
part of the county is now known
rs Spicer township. It was ar
ranged that some of our people
should attend that poll, and as
it had no candidate-and it was
the only subdivision of III e
county that had motive ex-
pected a good vote for Falls
