328 PICTURE-WRITING OF THE AMERICAN INDIANS. 
Fig. 435, 1878-79.—“‘ Brought-the-Cheyennes-back-and-killed-them- 
in-the-house winter.” The Cheyennes are shown in prison surrounded 
by blood stains, and with guns pointing toward them. 
The Cheyennes referred to are those who left the 
Indian Territory in 1878 and made such a determined 
effort to reach their people in the north, and who, after 
committing many atrocities, were captured and taken 
to Fort Robinson, Nebraska. They broke from the house in which they 
were confined and attempted to escape January 9, 1879. Many of them 
were killed; it was reported at the time among the Dakotas that they 
were massacred in their prison by the troops.

Fig. 436, 1879~80.— “Sent-the-boys-and- girls - to-
