These dif: ferent bands wer frequently en guged in quarrels with each other, often led to bloody confitets. One despers oattlo, which took place aoont a mile north of Pouca, near the river, between a large number of Omaba and Ponea warriors, re sulted in a great slaughtor of the former, The Omahas had come dows from Daily branch, where their town was located, on a raid, and were ambushed and nearly®very e slain. However, these desperate oncounters be- tween differeut bands occurred many years before tho country was inhabited by wh Itwas in 1855 when the first ad ous spirits located at which period the Ind in the vicinity, in num bers or hostility, were not genorally danger ubors; They would steal hovses, but unless they had increased their couragd and animosity by a supply of firewater, they never showed o desire to prac tice on the whites any of those hair lifting ceremonies which, among thomselves, they had previously been accustomed to en gage in.

Only at great distavces apart could th home- steaders’ cabins be seen, and only now and then could be found the soil turned over for cultivation. Those who had drifted from the east and located in this strip of country were forced to confro:t the usual disadvantages of pioneer existence, and many ovstacles fell in their paths to thwart their'hopes and in- tentio This was the vear in which the Indinn outh 13 took place 1 Minnesota andDakota, thus creating discontent among all the tribes over the country. ach night during this threat- ening period the familics in their lonely abins knew it was possivle that before the dawn of the following morning they would be tomabawked and scalped and their homes reduced to ashes Their fears increased as the days went by, but, unwilling to abandon all their worldly bossessions, they remained, only hoping for the arrival of the time whei the savages would be quelled and peace aud ssfety restored in” Octoher Althou and Niobrara of the year in question, a friendly Winnebago half “brood Indian passed trough these settiements scattering the news that an immense number of Sioux warriors were approaching, leaving in their trail great destruction to lives and property burning nouses and massacring the inmates So terrible a reort of imminent danger s ried dismay into every housebold and caused the strongest hearts £ quail..

Mr, DeAgley, kuowing of the Indian outbreak, although at a considerable distance, was stricken by the fear that the moving wagons were those of the red men and that they were stored with tne plunder réaped from the rural sottlers, and that in ambuscads lay tho warriors, waiting for darkness tocome, when Pone: scalped and tor few rude dwellings and usi- ness houses in smoce.

G, Smith, who lives about cight mile south of Niobrara, was the first vecipient of the exciting news, and without hesitation, he gatbered 1nto his wagon his family, togother with all the provisions, erain and household oods that hie could conveniently carry, and immediately started out in an eastern direction, The awellers in the fivst cabin which he reached on his journey very willingly adopted his plan, and also loadea vheir wagous with portions of their scanty wealth und foliowed on his eastern exodus, In brief, each pioueer along the road did the sume, until, when the company entered Ponca, it consisted of about sixty teams and 200 persons. “ormed a Sco The good people of this town, loth the desertion of sucha rich territory, en couraged the settlers to halt at this point and consider what, under the ciroumstance would bo best to do.
