         Pioneer Settler Dead
WILCOX, Neb., March 9--(Special)--Joseph Elkins, one
of the first settlers of Harlan county died at the
home of his son, Lafe Elkins, Tuesday, aged seventy-two
years, and was interred yesterday in the Wilcox 
cemetery. Mr. Elkins homesteaded 160 acres of land
in the northeast part of Harlan County about twenty-five
years ago, when settlers were scarce and buffalo were
plenty. He removed to Wilcox several year ago. Four
children survive him. One son lives at Creede, Colo.,
one at Wilcox, and one is with the Third Nebraska in
Cuba. His only daughter, Mrs. Henry Wilcox, is a 
resident of Denver.
