No. 10 



"A Crow Indian attempts to seize Sitting Bull's horse by the 

 bridle. Sitting Bull knocks him down with a 'coup' stick, takes his 

 scalp and hangs it to his bridle." " — Kimball. 



° Sitting Bull corrected this interpretation saying that his opponent is a Ree 

 who drops his gun and bow from fear. The Ree was struck for coup but not 

 killed (no blood is shown). See p. 7. 



"1859. Near Fort Berthold. A Ree enemy grabs the bridle of 

 Sitting Bull's horse. Sitting Bull kills him, and takes his gun and 

 bow." — Vestal.
