Hanging of Kid Wade Survives as Local Folklore Tale
A gang known as the regulators seized Wade alias Kid Wade at the Long Pine House Hotel and hanged him near Bassett after a night of sleep in the bar room. A Brown County corner's jury later ruled his death the result of unknown assailants. The tale persists in local memory and at the Nebraska State Historical Society in Lincoln. The article also notes 1970s items on Eggs production in Britain and Kentucky park use for meetings.
