[Hosea Stout Diary] Saturday Decr 19th 1846. This morning I and some others went to the Omaha camp below the city about a mile to hunt for some stolen property but did not find it but they promised to hunt it up and send it up to the owner.
While there the interpreter Mr Logan Fontanell informed me that when he went up to the place where the Sioux slaughtered the Omahas the other day they found 73 men women & children slain & two had since died of their wounds one last night.
Nothing more of importance took place today. In the evening I regulated the guard. At late bed time Allen & myself went out on patrol guard and was out some two or 3 hours.
