FREMONT, Neb, May . (Special.) An
event of great historical Interest to all clt
Isens of the Elkhorn valley and Eastern
Nebraaka waa commemorated today by the
planing of a monument on the bluffs over
looking the Matte southeast of this city
to mark the site of the council held by
General John M. Thayer with the Pawners
sn May 13, IS. General Thayer, the sole
survivor of the known participants In the
council, assisted by W, E. Lee, who came
to Fremont the following year; J. J. Haw
thorne, a pioneer of 'St, who has devoted
nuch time and research to the history of
the Indians of this section, and Robert
McLean, who lives on the site of the "Big
Village" of the Pawnees, traces of which
were plainly visible when he came there
nore than a quarter of a century ago, had
lttle difficulty in locating the site of Chief
Pltalo-saur-u'S lodge, where the council
was held, at a point almost directly across
the road from Mr. McLean's residence of
Grand View on the top of the range of
luffs, which at this point project out into
the valley, commanding an extensive
riew of the valleys of the Platte and Elk
horn. Almost at the foot of the bluffs are
the lines of stakes of the survey of the
Cireat Northern railroad and should a more
pretentious monument ever mark the site
It will be a conspicuous object from the
3reat Northern's line. It is a block of
franlt aVjut three feet In height and
searing upon a polished face the legend
"Pawnee Council, May 25. 1865."
The attendance from Fremont was small,
for the Platte river bridge Is still impas
sable and those going over had to walk a
line of single plank ten feet above the
furrent of the river for a distance of sixty
feet. General Thayer, B. 3. Blackman,
A. E. Sheldon and J. A. Barrett of the
Btate Historical society came by way of
Cedar Bluffs. W. E. Lee presided. After
prayer by Rev. John Doane of Fremont
the address of the day waa delivered by
General Thayer.
General Thayer spoke as follows:
Fifty yesrs ago In May, 1S65, I was living
In a humble cottage on Farnam street in
Omaha. One afternoon, looking up toward
the high hill where the capitol, now high
'hool. was located, I noticed the massive
fiaure of Mark W. Izard, then governor of
the territory. comlna In the direction of my
house. On arriving he informed me that a
rnurler had come In with the information
that the Pawnee Indians had been commit
ting depredations along the Elkhorn river.
nd he wanted I should go and hold a coun
cil with the head chiefs of the tribe and
give them to understand that these abuses
must cease. I had previously been ap
pointed brigadier general. In command of
111 forces that mlaht be raised on the Ne
braska frontier. I had brouaht with me
from the east my wife, accompanied by her
prother, John E. Allen. She and 1 had
rome by stage from St. Joseph, Mo., while
alien had driven my own team and wagon,
which I had purchased In St. Joseph, o. I.
Richardson was then living in Omaha and
had come from the state of Michigan,
where he had served as lieutenant gov
frnor. and was my neighbor in Omaha
The news nulrklv spread around the little
hamlet that some trouble was brewing, and
out of curiosity and friendly Interest KX'ti
srdson came over to see what was In the
rind. Upon being informed of my proposed
tourney he asked the privilege of accom
panying me. I readily agreed to this and
requested the governor to appoint Mr. Rlrh-
trnMon and myself joint commissioners,
which he did.
Then bearan the preparation for our trip.
A courier was,,dfpatohed for Rev. Samuel
aims, living Rt cti. Aiarys, on inn iow biuw
tif the Missouri' river, who had lived among
the Pawnees as a missionary and inter
preter. The most important feature In the
way of preparation for the expedition was
the commissary supplies. That night my
wife worked as seldom housewife works
rooking up a supply of provisional The
time to be consumed in our Journey was
Indefinite. It seemed wise to have a large
npply. I remember, among other things,
he boiled a large ham and fried nearly a
natf a bushel of doughnuts. Fortunately
Hie had several mince pics already made.
She baked many loaves of bread, provided
plenty of butter and coffee and numerous
relishes to make an attractive bill of fare. '
By S o'clock cn the morning of the 24th
e were ready to start. My own team was
used, and a canvas covered wagon, with
Mr. Allen as driver. We went by way of
Hellevue, whore we were Joined by Mr.
A Ills, (Jovernor Richardson and myself be
ing the other passengers. At evening we
?ntne to the crossing of the Elkhorn, where
e camped for the night, and the next day,
I little after noon, we arrived at the upper
mines of the Loupe and Tapage bunds of
Pawnees. On arrlvinc at the north bank
f the Platte, as near as I can tell about
three miles east of where Fremont now Is,
a had full view of the village of the Paw
nees, which was on a very high blurt on the
opposite side of the river. There was a
large Cottonwood tree on the river bank
where we halted our horses. At my request
Mr. Allis signalled over to the Indian chiefs
:o send a company of Indians across the
riatte to guiue us to tne village.

Indians were assembled, aquattea down
upon their haunches, curious about what

very large, built of sod and io!es. covered
with buffalo skins. Pit-a-le-shar-u was sit
ting down in a little circle of chiefs, near
the .center of the circle. The interpreter

hands. He soon handed me the pipe of

him. Then it was passed to the several
chiefs. 1 then said to the old chief:
"I have been sent by the governor of
the territory to visit you. I have come to
tell you that Indians of your tribe are said
to have been engaged In driving off and
killing the cattle of the settlers. I want
to say to you we are exceedingly pained
to hear these reports. I have come to in
sist that you take proper measures to pre
vent them. The government has bought
this land of you where the settlers are. It
Is paying annuities to you and has opened
the land to settlers to come and live and
make homes there. It gives us a great
deal of dissatisfaction to hear these com
plaints. We come here as your friends and
to be neighbors to you. We come to better
your condition, and 1 am told to tell you
that we expect you to stop these depreda
tions. Our people prefer to live in peace
with you, to be friends of you. We have
come to plow the land, to make farms
and to help you to Improve your own con
dition. 1 must insist that you stop these
hosUle acts. If you do not we shall make
war on you."
The old chief. Pita-le-shar-u, In reply
said he was very sorry that such reports
had reached the white people, but that he
could not always control the young men
of the tribe. He said:
"They roam about the country and we
cannot know that they are guilty of depre
dations as you report. I want to tell the
r r.thnr we shall use every means in
our power to prevent such occurrences. If
they have taken place. When the young
men are away from us we are not able
to know that they are doing wrong by In
terfering with the property of the set
tlers." I said in reply to him:
"You must restrain them. If our young
men commit such depredations and drive
4tt cattle, we have laws by whlcn we
punish them. We lock them up. ani you
must be able to control ann pumru n

no chance to change mv clothing. I was
feeling verv uncomfortable. It was the
time of Mav when the weather was very
cool We were tired and while crossing the
river we all thought of the supper waiting
us at the wagon. When we arrived Allen
met me and told me tha a company of
about twenty Indians had come there after
we had gone into the council tent, had over
powered him and robbed the wagon of
every single thing there was In it. They
hnd even taken our blankets. Not a single
article of food was left. The bottle of
brandy was gone. There we were, a little
after sunset, and nothing to eat, and no
one living near. We hitched up the team,
hungry, and drove back through the niBht
to the crossing of the Elkhorn. where Mr.
Fifleld ran the flatboat ferry. Fortunately
ho had been out hunting that afternoon and
shot half a dosen prairie chickens. Ills
good wife welt knew now to prepare mem
to be eaten, and at once set about doing it.
In a short time a very sumptuous supper
of bread, butter and prairie chicken was
served to us. We remained there all night
and the next morning started toward
Omaha, calling on the way at the lower
village, or as It was called, the Grand Paw
nee village, a distance of about four and
one-half miles.
Poor Opinion of Reds.
I have been asked to describe the appear
ance of the Indians. I can only do It by
saying that anyone who has seen an Indian
will know what their appearance was, for,
according to my recollection, the Indians In
their home garb resemble each other. There
are undoubtedly some good Indinas, but my
experience with them has taught nie to be
lieve that they are an unreliable, dishonest
set of people. I afterward learned that the
very Indians that had piloted us across the
river were the ones that had robbed our
wagons. But afterward I had the whole
band of about Son people, according to Mr.
A Ills, at my mercy, for in 1H59 came the
Pawnee war, when they left their reserva
tion, breaking all restraint, and went over
the Elkhorn river and for about 1U0 miles
cut a wide swath of destruction, destroying
habitations, breaking up furniture In the
cabins and killing one or two persons.
They turned their ponies. oflO in number.
Into the corn and wheat fields. A reign of
terror prevailed for about 100 miles up the
Elkhorn river, and people threatened to re
turn to the states If they could not receive
protection. A courier came to Omaha. I
raised a company of about forty men In
Omaha and made a nlcht march to Fonta
nels, where the settlers had gathered for
mutual protection, and remained there two
days raislnc volunteers and Betting ready
to pursue the hostile Indiana. After raising
l!H men we took the trail or the 1'swnees,
and followed them till we captured them on
the town site of Battle Creek. At daylight
we came to rlslna- around, where we could
see the squaws gathering brush for fires to
cook their buffalo meat; the men still in
their tepees.
A Bloodless Battle.
I nut mv command at once in a charae.
One hundred and ninety-four cavalrymen
and me six or seven baggage wagons an
made a tremendous tattle on the plains,
and the frightened squaws rushed into the
tents and hurried the men out, and Ju.tt
as my men came into line In front of them
the chief came out, home holding out white
wolf robes or anything they could get. as
tokens of truce. Old Plt-a-le-shur-u rushed
out wltii an old American flag over his
shoulder, which had been given him by
President Buchanan on his visit to Wash
ington. He recognized me, and came to
my horso, patting himself on the breast,
saying: ,
"Me good Indian: ao wnat you want. -The
word "Fire! was on my lips, but
every one waa In the act of surrender, and
an invisible agency neia me dhck ana i
did not utter it. And I have always been
glad since that I did not, because the whole
tribe surrendered completely, and gave us
every assurance that thereafter the whites
Should nave no troume irom tne rmwneea.
That was about the close of my relations
with the Indians, for the war with the
south was coming on, and I was determined
to bo In that, and it gives me satisfaction
to say that from that time on, the Pawnees
kept faith with the whites. They never
committed further depredations upon them,
according to my best Information. The ex
pedition against them at that time com
pletely subdued them. The government
moved them, put the Pawnees on a reser
vation, and took care to keep them there
as a general thing, so that the whites were
not molested by them.
Major North, a true soldier, organised
two companies of scouts among the Paw
nees, whor were emoloved by Oeneral Crook
and other Indian fighters, and the Pawnees
did good work for the government. The
surrender at Battle Creek was a bloodless
battle, but it had the desired effect on
the Indians.
As I stand here today. I realize that fiflv
years have passed since I stood on this
very spot and demanded of the Indians that
they should live In peace with the while
settlers; assuring them that we came as
their friends, and to be their neighbors. It

character should bear some memento as an

their highest regard. In 1852 he succeeded
to the head chieftaincy. He was a shrewd
diplomat. He saw the futility of war
against the whites, and though his young
men stole stock whenever opportunity of

fessed undying friendship for the white

words "The white people I love." In 161

Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, as I feel confident It will cure them."
