the Comanche chiefs not in process of reformation; Cho-co-rar (_______) a brother of Maowi,- Saouyah (Suris namesake) chief of the Moocha Band (Sewers), also a very influential man throughout his tribe and Costcherra (Buffalo Robe) a prominent Yapparita, associated for a long time with the Quahade's. If a careful selection has been made from the Comanches still out, five men could not have been taken whose absence would be more keenly felt.
The other two are Quahade' Kiowas, prominent men but not noted chiefs, we had heard that "Big Bow" was one of them but is is stated that he, Sitank and Little Heart are at the Pease River camp.
These Indians to whom I have given the information regarding the missing chiefs state that there will be no delay in the coming of all the remainder of the Comanches and Kiowas after this news reaches them, as they have been only waiting to hear from the absent chiefs which way to move.
The Kiowas under Satanta, Keelparko, &c are still within the limits of their reservation altho' fifty or sixty miles distant, hunting on the head of Elk Creek.
