the victims of hard luck of one kind
and another. The shifting of county
seats brought doom on some of them.
Not a few were left stranded when
the railroads they expected decided to
take other routes.
Perhaps the history of Archer Is as
interesting as that of any of these
almost forgotten communities. The
first territorial legislature. which met
in 1855. made Archer the seat of Rich
ardson county. Among its earliest set
tiers was party of French They

merous families. --,. - sss~
!. Couldn't Leave Reservation.
Curiously enough it was this fact
that wiped Archer off the map. When
the government put into effect the
reservation method of dealing with
the Indians it found itself confronted
with the problem arising out Of the
presence OF 50 many French half
breeds. AS a solution of 1t the COM
missioners decided to set aside spe-
ciaI reservation iu Richardson county
for these families.
When the survey was made 1t was
found that the town of Archer was
inclnded In the reservation. The army
post was abandoned. the capital was
located elsewhere. the railroads pass
ed it by, 1t dwindled into a mere ham
let. and the university closed its doors.
Its prosperity lasted seven years. and.
although Archer men sought to have
the government change its lines. they
were unsuccessful. and within a few
months there was nothing left of the
town.
Fort Calhoun. the site of the Lewis
and Clark treaty with the Indians in

the whites decided that they would
not live in reservation town or re-

Legislators Change Location.
Fontenelle. another Washington
town. now a hamlet. had col
lege once. did much trading with the
Indians and freighters and was the
county seat of Dodge county. The
politicians changed the county lines at
a legislative session when Fontenelle
wasn't looking and threw 1t into Wash
ington county. which caused it TO be
overshadowed and speedily killed.
Bellevue and Florence. both located |
near Omaha. the one south AID the !
other north along the Missouri. were /
each at one time much larger than
Omaha. Florence once had 5000 peo-
pie; now it has less than 600 1t was |
the winter quarters of n great num-
Der of Mormons. who camped there |
while on their way TO Utah in the late
forties and early fifties. Later it was
he westernmost point of heavy immi

For a time It was doubtful whether
Omaha or Florence would win in the
ace between the two cities. but when
he scales turned in favor of Omaha

Florence became almost deserted vii
