Double-Head's Treaty. James Vann was of the same delegation, but opposed to the policy of the Double-Head. He regarded him as the betrayer of the interests of his nation; and told him so at Washington. High words ensued and (?) were drawn; but the parties were separated and no blood was shed. John D. Chisholin(?) Whiteman was said to have (?) Double-Head into the measures of that unpopular treaty. By its conditions, Double-Head secured a reservation for himself, and his personal friends, of ten miles squared at or around the spot where he resided. These lands were, contrary to the principles of the Indian commonwealth, to be treated as individual property and used either for sale or lease.
