Boudinot's brother. He soon heard that others, were shewing signs of hostility to the public peace

    Mr. Ross, instantly dispatched our express to Genl. Arbuckle, requesting, his interposition, to prevent mischief, (not to protect himself.) In the evening Stand Wattie was out Mr.? Worcesters about 1 1/2 miles distant. A number of young men, had, by this time, come in to Mr. Ross. And lest, in the moment of excitement, they might rush upon him and do some mischief; Mr. Ross requested them if they had come as his friends to protect him, that they would carefully avoid becoming aggressors, and stand strictly on the defensive: and on no account to commit any acts of violence. All this was after Mr. Ross knew that Stand Wattie threatened to take his life.
    Next morning, Sunday, June 23rd Star and Bell, and a number of the adverse party, were at Mr. Worcester's. Some of the neighbours, went over and procured a Conference near Mr. Ross's House. Mr. Charles Vann one of the conferees said he had come along, not as one of the Ridge party. His only object in coming, was, the hope of being of some service in restoring tranquillity and preventing mischief. And not to take any part in the dispute. He had, over heard a conversation, that morning, between Star and Stand Wattie. Their plan was, to kill Mr. John Ross, if possible; but if they failed in that, to go on to the Fort; claim the protection of Gen'l Arbuckle and take no trouble about finding out who the murderers were, but to get Gen'l A. to demand them of Mr. Ross, and if they were refused to have Mr. Ross and some of his friends arrested and kept as hostages until the murderers should be given up.
