MALLERY. ] BATTISTE GOOD’S WINTER COUNT. 
Fig. 286, 1729-30.—“‘Killed-the-Pawnees-camped- 
alone-with-their-wives winter.” Two Pawnees and 
their wives, who were hunting buffalo by themselves, 
and living in one lodge, were surprised and killed 
by a war party of Dakotas. 
Fig. 287, 173031.—“ Came-from-opposite-ways- 
and-camped-together winter.” By a singular coin- 
cidence, two bands of Dakotas selected the same 
place for an encampment, and arrived there the 
same day. They had been separated a long time, 
and were wholly ignorant of each others move- 
ments. The caps of the tipis face one another. 
Fig. 288, 1731-’32.—“ Came- from - killing -one- 
Omaha-and-danced winter.” This is the customary 
feast at the return of a successful war party. The 
erect arrow may stand for “one,” and the Omaha 
is drawn at full length with his stiff short hair and 
painted cheeks. 
Fig. 289, 1732—33.—“ Brought-home-Assiniboin- 
horses winter.” The sign for Assiniboin is as before, 
over the horse. 
Fig. 290, 17383-734.—“ Killed-three-Assiniboins 
winter.” There is again uncertainty as to whether . 
they were Assiniboins or Arikaras, and both signs 
are used.
