The Great Council assembled in the hunting grounds of Newport on the 22d sun of Buck Moon, G. S. D. 387, and the council fire was kindled in due form, Great Sachem Geo. Brunk presiding.
Representatives were present from Tribes Nos. 3, 10 and 17.
Past Great Sachem C. H. Conn was refused admission on the grounds that he was not a member of any Tribe at that time.
The long talk of the Great Sachem is not given, nor is the report of the Great Chief of Records.
The finance committee reported amount in the wampum belt at $61.31.
The election resulted as follows:
| John N. Stauder | Great Sachem |

| C. Maunder | Great Junior Sagamore |
| S. F. Schell | Great Chief of Records |
| John Wolfhardt | Great Keeper of Wampum |
| Geo. Reese | Great Representative to G. C. U. S. |
The Great Prophet said a prayer and the council fire was quenched.
A special session was held on the 26th of the Corn Moon following for the purpose of electing a Representative to the Great Council of the United States, vice Geo. Reese, resigned, and the Great Sachem, John N. Stauder, was elected.
