Years morning. There was dance
at the town hall in the evening and at
midnight all the young Beau Brum-
mels repaired TO the land office to
see Uncle Sans soldier become the
first homesteader. The papers already
had been made up and were signed
Just after twelve o'clock. Freeman
started at once for St. Louis and was
able to visit the land but twice dur
ing the next three years, the law max
ing special provision for soldiers.
In 1865 Freeman laid down his arms
and took up the peaceful pursuit Of
agriculture on his claim. He built a
log cabin as the first structure on the
farm. On an adjoining claim lived a
young woman with whom Freeman
had become acquainted during his pre-
vious visits, and when the cabin was
completed they were married and
moved into the new home. Freeman
was energetic. and from an open prai
rie homestead the quarter section was
developed into the finest farm in Gage
county. Additional land was pur-
chased and Freeman became wealthy

Daniel Freeman was pioneer In,

the result Of bullets from the Indians'
rifles. One of his peculiarities was
his free thinking doctrine. He always
maintained that the Bible was made

that they had no right to force II upon
persons who did not want It, Taking
this stand. he brought the famous law
suit to force the Bible out Of Nebras-
ka schools The suit was brought
against the school board of his home
district and he won out. His conten.
ton was that no religion could be le-
gally taught In the pubic schools and
that teachers could not lawfully read

court sustained his contention and the
Holy Writ disappeared from the

George II. Beattie, jeweler in the

of the News, have Jointly and several

Beattie estate and came along at full

Sound asleep, but dreaming of I'm

his cot toward the north, and Beattie
from his cot toward the south. The
runaway horses dashed between the
sleepers, oversetting everything in the
way, but missing Beattie and Ralston
by margins too narrow to be meas

slept in his town house and Beattie
has found shelter under the ample
roof of his house on his big planta-

FILED FIRST CLAIM
Daniel Freeman Got Homestead
Number One.
As a Soldier In Nebraska In 1862 He
Took Advantage Of the Law I'm
medlately After It Went
Into Effect.

Lincoln, Neb.-When Daniel Free
man filed on the first free home pro-
vided for free men, at one minute past
twelve o'clock on the morning of Jan
uary l, 1868, he inaugurated the his
tory of homestead entries, which have
since developed the western prairies
into the heart of American agricul-
ture. The Freeman home Is at Brown
vile, Neb., on the quarter-section of
land for which the first patent was is
sued. He always regarded this old
patent as one of the most interesting
and valuable relics of American his
tory. Its face indicates that Freeman
made entry No. /, his proof of resi-.
dence was No. /, his patent is No. /.
recorded on page No. of book No. /,
In the United States land office.
Freeman's name is linked with that
Of Galusha A. Grow of Pennsylvania,
once speaker of the lower house of
congress, and whose maiden speech In
the house was on the subject of
Mans Right to the Soil" That speech
was made in 1852, but 1t was not until
ten years later that he was able to see
his measure, the homestead law, re.
corded In the statute books.
Freeman at that time was a young
soldier, detailed to perform secret
mission at Brownville, Neb., where the
first United States land Office was
opened. The presence of many pro-
spective settlers awaiting the opening
January 1, 1863, of the land office, to
take advantage Of the homestead law,
attracted Freeman to the idea of Sc
curing free home. On December so,
however, he was ordered to report
In st. Louis for new assignment. To
add to his troubles. January was a
legal holiday. The young soldier,
nothing daunted, sought out James
Bedford, who had charge of the gov.
ernment land Office, and told him his
troubles. Bedford agreed to sign the
filing papers following the stroke of
midnight the following night If Free
