site sides. He explains this "coat of 

 arms" as the mark or symbol which, 

 after a victory or successful raid, they 

 paint on trees. (vSee Owen, Folk-lore of 

 the Musquakie Inds., 1904.) 



Guignes estimated them in 1728 at 200 

 warriors, but most of the estimates before 

 the last half century give them from 1,500 

 to 2,000 souls. Lewis and Clark estimated 

 them at 300 warriors, or 1,200 souls, in 

 1805. Since about 1850 the two tribes 

 have been enumerated together. The 345 

 ' ' Sauk and Fox of Mississippi ' ' still ( 1905 ) 

 in Iowa are said to be all Foxes. There 

 are also 82 "Sauk and Fox of Missouri" 

 under the Kickapoo school in Kansas.

Foxes. An Arikara band. — Culbertson

Foxes. A gens or secret order of the 

 Hidatsa, according to Culbertson (Smith- 

 son. Rep. 1850, 143, 1851), but properly 

 one of the war and dance societies. 



Francisco. A Yuma chief. The Tonto 

 Apache who murdered Royse Oatman 

 and most of his family at the Gila bend, 

 Ariz., Mar. 18, 1850, carried off Olive and 

 Mary, the youngest children, 12 and 7 

 years of age, into slavery, and in 1852 sold 

 them to the Mohave. These Indians 

 treated them better than had the Tonto 

 until a famine came, during which Mary

 Lorenzo Oatman, who had escaped after 

 being left for dead, endeavored to interest 

 people in California in the fate of his 

 sisters, but a searching party sent out
