 KO-RAK-KOO-KISS. 



(Painted 1S44.) 



A Towoccono Warrior. This man distinguished himself among 

 his people by a daring attempt at stealing horses, in the night, from 

 Fort Milan, on the western frontier of Texas. He succeeded in pass- 

 ing the sentries, and had secured some eight or ten horses to a la- 

 riat, and was making his way to the gates of the fort, when "he was 

 discovered and fired upon. The night being dark, the shots were at 

 random ; he was, however, severely wounded by two balls, received 

 two sabre wounds upon his arms, and narrowly escaped with his life. 

 He is about twenty-three years of age, and by this daring feat has 

 won the name and standing of a warrior among his people.
