Wednesday afternoon a second delegation of hostile chiefs arrived from the camp. It comprised Two Strike, Kicking Hear, Lance High Hawk and Eagle Pipe. They had a talk with General Miles, and the same subjects were considered as at the morning session. It was agreed that the hostiles would leave their present camp and pitch their tepees on the west side of White ( lay creek, immediately opposite and less than half a mile from the agency buildings. It was also decided that the Indians would surrender their arms to their respective chiefs and that the weapons would be turned over to Agent Pierce, the latter to receipt for them, placing the panic of each man upon his gun. The weapons would then be sold and the proceeds returned to tjie Indians. It was also decided that the chiefs would attempt to control their young men, and failing in this that they would themselves urrest those who refused to act as good In-dians and turn them over to the agent. General Miles was pleased with the friendly disposition manifested by the chiefs a ul proposed to allow them seven days in which to redeem their promises.
