husband is bad.” When the woman came in sight, she laughed at him. The man did 
not look at her. Again, when she was coming directly towards him, she laughed at 
him. And the man did not laugh with her. When she was coming back, she was 
lading the water out of the kettle. And she did not let the man have his way; the 
man laughed with her. And all of these Buffalo-bulls who were playing ‘banange- 
kide” fled. At length her husband came in sight and dashed on him. And when he 
came thence in sight, he sent the pieces of ground flying, by thrusting his horns into 
the ground; he was just like an enraged ox, standing pawing the ground. And they 
said nothing but “Flee.” Yet the man stood, not heeding it in the least. The man 
stood to see him. He reached there. When the Buffalo reached there, the man 
threw away the robe which he wore, and strung his bow. When the Buffalo went to 
gore him, the man took his fine feather and blew it away suddenly. The man ar- 
rived on the other side of the Buffalo. Again it was so. He arrived on the side of 
the Buttalo which was not wounded. And the man killed the Buffalo-bull. Then he 
went homeward to attack his wife’s mother. And as he knew her ways by experi- 
ence, he approached her from an opposite direction. And he killed his wife’s mother.
