Fig. 386, 1829-30.—*‘ Old-Speckled-Face-clung-to-his-son-in-law win- 
ter? The eeanee of Speckled-Face, who was coming 
out second best in an altercation with her husband, 
ealled to her father for help. The latter ran and 
grabbed his son-in-law around the waist, and, crying 
“That is my daughter,” stabbed him. The son-in-law 
fell and the old man fell on top of him, and, clinging 
to him, begged the lookers on to put an end to him 
also, as he wished to bear his beloved son-in-law com- eae: 
pany to the spirit land. No one, however, was in the humor to speed 
him on the journey, and he remained with the living.
