That on March 2. Isss. the president Of the

der the supervision Of an Indian Inspector, and
on December 2 1859 said second council was
held accortinsly, and majority Of the indians
again yoied against granting said right-of-wsy
that the iands on said reservation. over which
the lire of said raiiwsy has been located. have

not agree. to the proper courts.
