[Hosea Stout Diary] Tuesday Sept 14th 1847. Went out on guard with 5 men I with Gardner & Glines went West for several miles as the prairie was still on fire in that direction and in all probability the Souix were out there yet. The trail which they made when they attacted the punckaw camp was yet plain
This evening I heard that the Souix attacted the Otoes & Omahas while down this time & killed some 30 in all.
I still keep out a double guard of nights.
