daged eyes. As this bandaging was not connected with the form of kill- 
ing, it may be conjectured that it ideographically meant death—the 
light of life put out. 
For other devices to denote “ Kill,” see Figs. 93 and 94. 
SHOT, 
In this group the figures show obvious similarity yet seem to be 
graphic, or at least ideographic, but on examining the text of the several 
records conventionality is developed.

Fig. 1074.—Shot-at. Red-Cloud’s Census. Here is shown the dis- 
charge of guns and lines of passage of the bullets, one 
of which is graphically displayed passing the neck of the 
human figure, but without either graphic mark of wound 
or the conventional sign for “hit” or “it struck.” He 
was shot at by many enemies, but was not hit. 
Fig. 1075.—Shot. Red-Cloud’s Census. There is no 
doubt that this man, a Dakota, was actually shot with 
an arrow. 
Fig. 1076.—Shot-at-his-horse. Red-Cloud’s Census. 
Here again are the flashes made by the discharge of 
guns and the horse tracks showing horses, but no spe- 
cific indication of hitting. The mark within the right- 
hand horse track may be compared with the passing bul- 
let in Fig. 1074. The horse was shot at but not hit. 
Fig. 1077.—Shot-his-horse. Red-Cloud’s Census. This 
figure is to be correlated with the last one, as it shows reeo77ae 
actual hitting and blood flowing from the wound. 
Fig. 1078.—Shot-in-front-the-lodge. Red-Cloud’s Census. Without 
explanation derived from the context this 
figure would not be understood. The right 
hand character means several bows united. 
Between these and the tipi is the usual de- 
vice for blood flowing vertically downwards, 
fh meaning a fatal shot, and the device dis- 
played horizontally and touching the tipi 
means that the man shot belonged to that
