nave brought in about IS scalps and prisoners.
Cne Usage woman, refusing to follow the
Cherokees, was set on horse and shot. and
her body afterwards thrown on fire, and
consumed. Another party of the Cherokees.

had fell in with the Osages and killed and took
a much greater number. These successes had
ocrasioned great reloiciugs in the Cherokee
nation, and the lives of great number of The
