James Owen Dorsey writes, "This battle occurred fourteen or fifteen years ago (1867 or 1868), when the Kansas were at Council Grove. The same fight has been mentioned by Pahañle-gaqli, in the next version. Of the two Cheyennes on one horse, Qüyulañge, a kinsman of Pahañle-gaqli, killed the one in front when his horse fell, owing to a wound in the leg. The other Cheyenne fled, and at the end of the battle, being the only survivor of his party, he was killed by Pahañle-gaqli, as told in this version. Two Cheyennes crawled into the deep grass in the ravine. Wadactaye set fire to the grass, and the south wind carried the flames to the place, where the the two were concealed. This made them stand at once, and both were killed. Hence Wadactaye got his name, dactacye referring to something burnt smooth or bare."
