About twenty miles west of here at Lolo Hot Springs, the Nez Perce heard that soldiers were coming, so they moved cautiously and set up camp four miles from here.
Three parleys (meetings) between Nez Perce, soldiers, and citizens were held over the next three days. Neither side found the other's terms acceptable.
They were going to meet again on the fourth day, but by then the Nez Perce found they could end the stalemate. Nez Perce scouts had found a way to pass around the soldiers without further confrontation.
The military demanded the surrender of arm, ammunition and horses; the Nez Perce refused, saying they need these for their trek to the east but that they would pass peacefully.
