James Owen Dorsey writes, "This was before 1861, the second year that the Kansas were at Council Grove. They killed the Pani near Udje-yiñgele creek. No Kansas were killed. A young man shot at the Pani. Two others ran to him, one of whom struck him and killed him, the other taking his scalp. Each got a piece of the scalp, which was given to the captain. There were many Panis who had stolen horses from the Kansas in the dark; but the Kansas did not know which Panis they were." Sixth text entered for ANA graded reader project in October 2008. -jtm
