once found them about 300 miles
above this point on the South side of
Red River on a water course called
the ‘Big Witchetaw.’ In the
of November my informant
went in pursuit of the Kiwanchies,
and did not reach them until he
passed the River Brasos about three
hundred miles heading South West
and distant from this point between
.seven, and nine hundred miles, on a
rout, as directly as it could be well
travelled, from the nature of the
■country, over which it would be
necessary to pass! There is little
doubt of the correctness o'f this in-
formation, as he states that the
Indians always precede the buffalos
in their retreat to the South. The
reason is obvious, the Indians pos-
sess great numbers of horses and re-
quire much range to sustain them,
the Buffalos, travelling pretty much
the srme route, would strip the
country so bare of grass as to deprive
their horses of plentiful subsistence.
The Indians always retire to the
South with confidence and do not
require any advance, because, their
enemies are to the North and East
In Spring when the Buffalos start
North, Vegitation is growing, and is
so abundant that the horses of the
Kimanchies find a sufficiency un-
touched by the Buffalos while they
have passed on; and serve as an
advance guard to the Indians, in-
dicating, by their alarm, many times,
the advance of an enemy to the wild
Indians from the North and East.
“I am induced to think that the in-
tercourse between the Kimanchies
and Pawnees, and the Indians, of the
North West, if any, is very partial.
I am assured that some Knives, Guns
and blankets, such as the ‘N. West
fur company’ furnish, have been seen
■among the Pawnees and Kimanchies,
but to no considerable amount, that
would sanction the belief of any thing
like general intercourse, between the
Pawnees, of the South, and those of
the North! This is one point upon
which the Dept, of War intsructed
me, and upon which the Secretary of
war may be very anxious to obtain
information! To reach the wild
Indians at this season will be dif-
ficult and only practicable by way of
St. Antone. I wish to set out for that
point in six days, and proceed as di-
rectly as possible. It is probable at
this time, or by the time I can reach
there, that the Kimanchies may be
within few hundred miles of that
place; i’f so I will endeavor to see
them. It will probably be the best
plan, as they are friendly with the
citizens of Texas, and trade with
the American population of that
Province. Should I be enabled to
meet with the Pawnees or Kimanchies
if nothing else can be effected, I
will concert signals with them, by
which they can be approached with
safety, next spring, on the Red
River, or in its neighborhood.
“Since the murder of two soldiers
in this vicinity about four years since
by the Pawnees there has been no
intercourse between citizens of the
U States, and those Tribes—which
circumstances, may or may not be
favorable to a Treaty with them. I
will remark upon the Kimanchie
that they are intelligent, and were
formerly much disposed to cultivate
peace and intercourse with citizens
of the U States. There is little
doubt but what they have a pretty
correct general idea of our Govern-
ment. They believe we have one
Great Chief and that he has a general
superintendance over the Red People
who are in Treaty with us, and that
he sends presents to them!
“It would ibe of no great import-
ance to treat with the Pawnees alone,
as they are said to be under the
dominion of the Kimanchies. Hence
the propriety of embracing all the
Bands jof both Tribes, for the estab-
month lighment of permanent peace to the
Indian frontiers
“I do not suppose it will be in my
power to make another report to you,
until I reach the U States on my re-
turn, when I hope to have it in my
power to make a report that will be
satisfactory, and my lead to some
result of a truly beneficial character
to the Government-as well as the
Indians.
“I hope you will be so kind as to
forward a copy of this communica-
tion to the Sec’y of war! It will lay
before him all the information in my
possession, and supercede the neces-
sity of a direct report from me at
this time. The impossibility of ob-
taining a Delegation of Indians from
the Kimanchies and Pawnees, this
winter, to unite in a general council,
at Fort Gibson you will at once see,
nor, do I think it possible to achieve
it before May or June next. What-
ever can be done to forward the
views of the commissioners, or pro-
mote the human wishes of our Gov-
ernment, in relation to the Indians,
you may rest assured shall receive
my hearty concurrence and the aid
of my best exertions!

“I had regular shaking spells from
nervousness,” writes Mrs. Oora San-
ders, of Paragould, Ark. “I was all
run-down and cramped at my time
until I would have to go to bed. After
my first bottle of Cardui, I was bet-
ter. I kept taking Cardui and soon
I was all right. The shaking quit
and I did not cramp. I felt worlds
better. I gave Cardui to my daugh-
ter who was in about the same con-
dition and she was soon all right.”
