LITTLE ROBE, OF THE cHEYENNEs,
responded as follows:
| and my people love the Kiowas, aud ever
since the grass grew last spring, | and my peo-
pie have used every endcavOr 10 restrain them
from raiding. They have been plunderng be-
cause their chiefs, Satanta and Biz Tree, are
held as prisoners, that Buffalo Goad and others
sent out to invite them to come in, had told
them that they had been brought 10 Fort Sill
and would be given up, that they were disap-
pointed in not finding it so; the soldiers had
scared them back after they had started. | be-
lieVe rs cool weather, comes on they will quit
raiding. As for the Cheyennes having used
their influence to persuade the Kiowas to he
peaceable and failed, they had moved their
camps away from them, aud left them TO be at
peace themselves. have now come down to do
all can to effect reconciliation. | am not

Council adjourned till Tomorrow afternoon.
Agent Miles Of Cheyenne agency, with party
nj a | Very IN,
regretted the necessity Of this move, as the ear
nest labors, both with his own Indians and 9th
ers, to bring TO bear the right influence over the
Kiowas on their arrival at the council, seemed
absolutely necessary.
7, &c. Little Robe and his company of Cnev-
ennes left the council ground this morning Mt
daybreak. On the departure OF Little Robe
agent Tatum decided to leave before the arrival
of the Kowas, doubling his own safety in the
hands of the latter without the protection of the
Cheyennes and Arapahoes. As the Kiowas were
not coming immediately and the agents horse
was absent, he remained another day.
After noon the council met. The case of John
7. Howell, representative of the Chickasaw
claimants for stolen horses, was presented by
agent 1atum, aud Information was received that
the stolen animals were now in the yap- patrick
ka camp.
Kutts Quip and Straight Feather were ap-
pointed to accompany Howell in pursuit of the
horses. DR.. Stearn OF the Chickasaw ma
