[Hosea Stout Diary] Thursday April 22nd 1847. (Clear fine warm day, good breeze. [crossed out])Clear cold morning[.] North wind but turned out to be a fine day. I was around as usual.
At dark there was another council tonight at the Council house at which the committee to visit the Omahas, made their report. They had seen both the agent Mr Miller and the Omaha Chifs all of whom manifested plain enough that they were all consenting to the killing of our cattle and were putting up their young men to do it
They had a long talk and seemed willing to stop them in case we would draw two hundred dollars worth of corn from Mo which Miller had bought there for them. I came home after council at ten oclock.
