Paris for an important series of con
ferences with the French staff. while
the German emperor has gone to Wen
na To see Emperor Francis Joseph and
discuss with the Austrian generals
what the next move will he. Presum-
ably it is n question whether the cen
trail powers will attack the Anglo
French forces in Southern Serbia or
concentrate in Western Bulgaria tn
meet the threat of "a Russian invasion
from the east and the possibility of
Roumnnia taking sides against her old
enemies, Bulgaria and Turkey.
So far as Serbia is concerned win
ter appears virtually to have put an
end TO any important movements, al.
though the Anstrians are proceeding
to deal with the Montenegrins, whose
frontier they have crossed. while the
Bulgarians are attempting to advance
to Prisrend and Monastir.
MOnastir. II is admitted, cannot be
saved. but the Serbians who are de-
Tending the city are determined TO

Stories of Nebraska History
~ A y. SHELDON

from the north to join the broad river
along (which they marched.
Seventy chiefs came from the city to
greet Pensalosa bringing rich presents
of fur robes. pumpkins, corn and beans
and fresh fish for food. great council
was held and peace proposed.
That night the warriors of the Escan-
zaque tribe stole away from the Spanish
camp and raided the city of Quivira,
killing, plundering and burning. In the
morning II was in ashes and thousands
OF its peaceful people dead or dying.
Among its blackened ruins the Spanish
commander sought I'm vain for chiefs who
met him in friendly council the day be-
fore. The great city was destroyed never
to be rebuilt and its few survivors scat
tered never to return. On June IL, 1ee2
Don Diego de Pensalosa with his great
train marched sadly back to the RIO
Grande, there to relate the destruction Of
the great city OF Quivira-
Nebraska author Judge Savage, og
Omaha, has traced the route of Pensa-
losa upon the map, has measured the
miles marched from Santa Fe and found
that Pensalosa reached the Platte near
Louisville. He believes that Pensalosa
marched one day west to the site of
Ashland, where the Platte makes bend
and flows from the north. that the Elk
horn was the first river flowing from the
north to join the Platte. and the Loup
the second river and that between the
Loup and the Elkhorn rivers, not far
from the present town of Columbus, was
the city of ouivira- destroyed by the Es-
canzaques. who were the Kansas tribe.
The numerous sites between the I.oup
and Elkhorn rivers where fragments of
pottery and other Indian relics are found
today are remains OF the great city of
Quivira destroyed $50 years ago.
NThe legend of Pensalosa is too wonder
ful to be true. 1t is now known TO be a
fiction. There was Governor Don Diego
de Pensalosa of New Mexico. but no such
army as related was led by him across
the, plains and there certainly was no
great city OF ouivira with houses three
and four stories high covering the plain
between the Loup and Elkhorn rivers.
We must part with Pensalosa's expedition
as an historical event. and bid IL welcome
and give IL place in the realm Of romance
with other wonder stories of the time
when people knew but very. little of the
land where we now live and used their
imagination instead of their eyes in de-
scribing it.

Don Diego De Pensalosa

Out of the musty old Spanish documents
Of 200 years ago comes the strange story
OF Don Diego de Pensalosa and his won
derful expedition across the plains to
the kingdom Of Quivira. 1t was In the
year 1850. so runs the tale. that Don
Diego came to Santa F. o be governor
and captain general OF New Mexico. He
drove back the fierce Apaches who raided
the peaceful Pueblos along the Rio
Grande. but his heart was restless and
unsatisfied. He longed to make a great
name for himself as did Cortez In Mex
leo and Pizarro In Peru. 1t was 40 years
since Coronado marched to Quivira and
found there nothing but straw houses
and naked savages Still the old story Of
kingdom full of gold and silver beyond
the great plains persisted. Sun the mys-
terry Of the great unknown region in the
north stirred the Spanish love OF con-
quest.
1t was on March s. 1862, that Don Diego
de Pensalosa left the province Of New
Mexico to find and conquer this tabled
land of riches. With him there marched
eighty Spanish knights and thousand
300 mules and thirty-six wagons bore
their luggage.
Like Coronado. Pensalosa marched
north 200 leagues. nearly 100 miles. On
his way he found the great Indian ma
ton Of the Escanzaques with 1900 war
riors starting for war with the people of
Quivira. These Joined the Spaniards. To-
gether they travelled northeast until they
came to a broad river flowing east They
followed its southern bank for day,
when the river made a great bend and
flowed from the north. Signal fires
blazed from the hills telling that their
approach was seen. They kept on until
they saw another fine river Of clear water
flowing from the north to Join the one
along whose banks they marched. West
ward of this was a great city in a vast
level plain. There were thousands of
houses, some two, some three, some four
stories high, well built of hard wood re-
sembling walnut The city extended for
leagues westward along the plain TO
where another clear flowing stream came
