NOTE.-The editor of this report was, during the life-time of “White Cow” or “White Buffalo," agent for the Omaha Indians, and familiar with the peculiar characteristics referred to by Mr. Fontenelle. A reference to two instances may not be an unpleasant digression.

I was once sent for in great haste by "White Cow," on an exceeding bitter cold day in December, the messenger stating the old Indian was about to die, and desired to make his will, appoint his successor, and such like. I went at once, and found the old man stretched out on a buffalo robe before a …

Amelia Fontenelle Lockett

Nebraska State Historical Society: Transactions and Reports

This lady, notice of whose death appeared in last week's Economist, was a native of Louisiana, and a direct descendant of a powerful family of the French nobility, a daughter, if we are informed correctly, of the Marquis de Fontenelle, a nobleman of great wealth and character, whose property was contiguous to the city of Marseilles, but who in all probability had sought, like many others, either health or increased fortune on the fertile shores of New France.

To make a record of transactions and happenings of to-day, of that which everyone knows all about, seems uncalled for and useless labor.

Through this neglect important springs …
