him gifts and told him II he would stop
they would give him more, but he would
not. The consequence was that he was
chased to the plains, where he lived
lively and freely. His squaw was a
kind old woman and literally gave the
prisoners food. His misdeeds we're very
frequent. and he was always uneasy
for fear he would be caught. He was
not unskillful and he decided to make
an attack on a town, which was a mis-
fortune. for when he got into the town
he went to unbuckle his saddle and fell
over. and his arrow stuck into him and
wounded him so he could not walk. He
was unaware of the many people of the
