talk from the Great Chief, the President, and that a number
of other Indians had promised to attend, and would arrive in
a few days. That a number of presents would be distributed
by the Coms, as agreed upon at the last Council- That they
should be supplied with Beef and corn as long as the Council
lasted, and that all that Mr Sloat and Jim Shaw had promised
them would be complied with on the part of the white people."
The Chiefs in reply said they were satis-
fied that the talk was good, and would meet the White and Red
men in Council, in peace, and as brothers.  The Council then
adjourned.

On account of the uneasiness of the Comanche on last evening,
the Coms sent for the chiefs, who visited the camp, and a coun-
cil was held. Mo-pe-chu-co-pe stated that his young men were
alarmed last night on account of the arrival in camp of five or
six white men, who brought papers and letters for the Coms,
and he wanted to know what it meant. He was informed "that
all was peace, that nothing had occured to break the friendly
relations they occupied towards each other, that the papers re-
ceived were from the Great Chief the Prest, that it was a good
talk for his red brothers, and that they must feel perfectly easy,
for no one should harm them.   That a Council could not be
held until all the Indians arrived, and the other Coms, and that
they must make their young men easy, for all was peace." Mo-
pe-chu-co-pe expressed himself satisfied with the explanation,
and the council adjourned.
