Red Horn then offered the pipe to the little red stone and asked it 

 to go before them as a scout. Eagle Man sang his song again, and the 

 stone disappeared. The war party went on and made a camp for the 

 night. Toward morning Eagle Man said that the stone had returned, 

 and that, on being questioned concerning the enemy, the stone had 

 stated that they would meet the enemy the next day, but did not 

 name the hour, adding that there would not be more than 10 men in 

 the enemy's party. The stone was left on the red blanket where it 

 appeared after its quest. 



That morning the war party went on again, and Siya'ka and another 

 man were chosen to act as scouts. They found six men drinking at a 

 water hole, whereupon they immediately returned and reported this 

 to the war party. They tried to surround the men but failed, and the 

 six escaped. However, they met one man — an Omaha — coming to 

 join tliis party and killed liim. Red Horn shot him, thus securing the 

 first "count", and Siya'ka secured the fourth count. 



Eagle Man sang the following song during this demonstration by 

 the sacred stones:
