Sept. 13, 1862. Volume 9 Number 39. Page 1, Column 4: GRAND POW-WOW.-- A large lot of the Otoe Indians were in town on Wednesday, and held a council and afterwarads had a big jubilee or war dance. They are going to join William's company--some forty or fifty, through their interpreter, Louis Fawfaw, taking their oath and being sworn in on that day--and go into Bowen's Regiment and go out to fight the enemies of the " Great Government." They will have a chance to, and we presume after proper training they will make good soldiers. The following are then names of the seven chiefs of the Otoes, commencing with the first and headchief and numbering according to the "rank" or position they hold to the tribe: Arka Keter, Me-ah-ke-ta-huncha, (Big Soldier) White water, Missouri, Little Pipe, Medicine Horse, Buffalo Chief.--From the Marysville Union.
