The fourteenth Grand Sun Council fire of the Right Worthy Great Council of Kentucky was kindled in the wigwam of Black Hawk Tribe, No. 2, hunting grounds of Covington, at the rising of the 22nd sun of Buck Moon, G. S. D. 376, Great Sachem R. B. McCracken presiding.

Past Sachems were admitted from Black Hawk Tribe, No. 2; Pocahontas, No. 3; Tecumseh, No. 6, and Seneca, No. 9.

The Great Sachem in his long talk said: "I have the pleasure of informing you that two more Tribes have been added to our number. On the 15th sun of Sturgeon Moon I received a petition from a number of palefaces residing in Lexington asking for a dispensation to establish a Tribe in that city, and on the 29th of the same moon I visited Lexington in company with Past Great Sachem Chas. Amann, Past Great Incohonee A. J. Francis, and Great Sachem Chas. Reed, of Ohio, and established Osceola Tribe, No. 8. The following Chiefs were elected and raised up: James Crystal, Sachem; Thos. A. Hornsey, Sr. Sag.; B. P. Watkins, Jr. Sag.; A. W. Trebien, C. of R.; V. N. Gardner, K. of W.; D. A. King, Prophet.

On the 25th of Traveling Moon I received a petition from a number of Past Sachems and a few other brothers for a dispensation to establish a new Tribe in the city of Louisville, to be known as Seneca Tribe, No. 9. I requested Past Great Sachem Chas. Amann to institute the Tribe, which he did, and installed the following chiefs: P.S. Conrad Koch, Sachem; P.S. Christ Mayflor, Sr. Sag.; P.S. Jacob Lezinski, Jr. Sag.; P.S. Tebel, C. of R.; P.S. Ph. Leonhard, K. of W.; P.S. Isaac Lieber, Prophet.

The regalia and implements of the defunct Chickasaw Tribe, No. 1, I sold to the Tribe at Lexington."

Great Chief of Records Wm. Brigmann, not being present, sent his books and a partial report, which did not contain the statistics to date.

The following named Great Chiefs were elected and raised up for the ensuing Grand Sun:

Andrew Schneider	Worthy Great Sachem
Joseph Havlin	Worthy Great Senior Sagamore
John Wohlfardt	Worthy Great Junior Sagamore
Thomas W. Giedeon	Worthy Great Prophet
Chas. Hebel	Worthy Great Chief of Records
A. J. Francis	Worthy Great Keeper of Wampum

Great Representatives to G. C. U. S.—Thos. W. Giedeon, two grand suns; Charles Amann, one grand sun.

It appeared from the report of the finance committee that certain wampum was in the hands of Great Chief of Records Brigmann not reported by him, and a committee was appointed to investigate the matter and get possession of the funds.

The death of Past Great Sachem A. C. Herig was announced and appropriate resolutions of respect were adopted.

Toronto Degree Council, No. 1, of Louisville, having outlived its usefulness, surrendered its dispensation to the Great Council and ceased to exist.

Charters were granted to Osceola Tribe, No. 8, and Seneca Tribe, No. 9.

The council fire was then quenched.
