After waiting awhile I opened proceedings by showing my compass and papers, exhibiting authority from the great chief at Washington for what I was doing, and stated finally that I should continue to run the line. My talk was given with a limited knowl- edge of the Osage language, and by the use of signs common to all western tribes of Indians. The chief then began to talk, and he talked both loud and fast. He said their line was away up north ; that I should not run the line where I was running... it; and he intimated by significant gestures with his hands in the vicinity of his top-knot, that if I attempted to do so there would be a rais- ing of scalp-locks. I believed this to be only bluster, aimed to scare us back, or make us pay something for going on. I told him if we were stopped or molested, the soldiers, of whom these Indians had a wholesome dread, would come down and wipe them out. After spending an hour and a half with no results, Findlay and I took our departure, first expressing, as I left, my purpose to go on west, and the chief responding that if we did we would be struck by his young men.
