ten other chiefs, left for One, thirteen
miles from Shadron creek, where Spot
ted Tail and the Missouri River Indians
are now encamped and held conference
with the Commissioners and us they still
insisted upon the selection Of the Council
grount; 1ha Commissioners after at,li
among themselves, agreed to humor them,
and SO appointed as committee to select
place for holding the Council, Spotted
Tail, Two Strike, and Swift Bear on the
part of the Brule Indians or Spotted
Tails band, and Red Cloud, Red Dog
and Young. Man Afraid-Ot-llis-Horse5 on
the Agalahas and Red Clouds band,
thus hoping to settle the jealousy on this
subject heretofore evinccd by these re-
spectivc bands. The commissioners stipu-
lated that the grounds must be near
enough to this agency to allow
them to go to the place
of council in the morning and return IL
this agency ut night, so that it must be
settled ut once, that the council may
begin from the 18th" To this Spotted
Tail replied that the Missouri Indians
were very anxious to return home before
snow comes, and want the council held
rs soon Us possible This is the first time
Spotted Tail has been here since the com.
mission arrived, ten days ago, which fact
had considerable to do with delaying
the council, as he had also
kept the Missouri river Indians
from coming, they having encampcd in
the vicinity of his agency H"appeared
to-day, TO be IN excellent spirits, and sand
if the other Indians would not come 10
him in >clcctinga place for the Counsel,
he would 90 to them. He is younger
man than Red Cloud; less Surly, and has
great influence with the Indians ut
large. The Commissioners feel clatcd
ut the fact his coming to see them, and
the willing, accommodating spirit mani
tested by him in the talk. They also
congratulate themselves Oh the arrival of
General Terry, who Is man of superior
| judgment, besides having the advantage
of having participated in the treaty OF
1868. Upon his reaching the agency
to day, he was recognized. He was greet
! ed by large number of Indians who
met in that treaty. Several thousand
Indians gathered about the agency to-
day, in Consequence of their giving what
Is known rs the "Omaha dance which
is a great ceremonial with them. The
dance was held inside of stockade.
