1885 census lookup for Bassett precinct, Brown county?

Classification: Query
Surnames: Speck, Sproul
Would anyone there in Brown County have microfilm of the original 1885 census images they could do a look up? I've found a name in the Ancestry 1885 Nebraska index, but i think the name is so terribly misspelled, that its possible its my missing person.

I'm looking for an Ava Speck, born around 1867 in Iowa
The index shows an Eva Sproul, born 1868 in Iowa

The Ancestry index shows the record as: M352_03, Page 9
I'm hoping someone could look at the original entry, and see if by any chance they can make out the "Eva Sproul" as actually being an "Ava Speck" (or rule it out), and if so, what family members she may have been living with (Ava was an orphan from Iowa and may have lived in various homes, before later marrying in Saunders, Nebraska)

Thank you for any help,
Jean
