Show MRS. ANDERSON Page 16 BA: I don't think so. GT: You've not heard of any. BA: I've not heard of any. Maybe some of these old settlers can tell you, but I can't, not knowing anything about it. GT: Well, I wouldn't think so. BA: But this old building was a log building and it was down there, but I never went right to it. But I know it's been shot into, but that might have been done by just people that were out there carousing around. PN: How long did that dwelling last? Was it out there , for instance, when you went out there? BA: I suppose it was. I suppose it was out there a lot later. The old log building or timber building. But I did see it once, I believe so but it's long ago. GT: Did anyone ever tell .you how long the army maintained it.'s people there? BA: Only until the Indian trouble was over. And that was up until 1888, 1889'. I guess along in there. GT: That's quite-a-while for them to keep troops there isn't it? BA: Well, they may not have kept troops there, but they kept the post, I guess. And a flag flew over it. They did all their army posts. They set t~em up all along the line; from Omaha out. Of course when you get out here, and the Indians were still bad, on out, but I don't believe they protected the line as much. They didn't have as much trouble with them. GT: I see. |
