It has been asserted that there is danger from the Pawnees and
Comanches to the Cherokees and Choctaws in their new country.
Now, reader, the case is far otherwise. The Pawneer come in to
the bounds of the Osage nation, at times; but even they, the cowardly
Osages, whip them. As to the Comanches, there is no earthly
danger, for they never come within the Cross Timbers.
