KO-RAK-KOO-KISS. 



(Painted 1844.) 



A Towoccono &quot;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.
