the Republican river some time ago The village of Pawnee Killer and Wketstone was crossing the ridge im mediately south of the mouth of Red Willow Creek intending to camp on Beaver creek ten miles distant when they discovered a party of six white men Tvith a team or teams A charg made in which -three was at once rare killed The whites gained creek where the timber on Beaver Search was
