had been coming. At length the wife’s brother wished the buffaloes to trample the 
husband to death. When they attacked the buffaloes, the wife’s brother waved his 
robe. Turning around in his course, he waved his robe again; and when his sister’s 
husband had gone right among the buffaloes, they closed in on him, and he was not 
~seen at all. The people said, “The buffaloes have trampled to death the chiefs 
daughter’s husband.” When the buffaloes trampled him to death, they scattered and 
went homeward in every direction, moving in long lines. And the people did not 
find any trace whatever of what was done. They did not find the horse. Even the 
principal one (the man) they did not find. When the buffaloes destroyed him by 
trampling, the horses had gone back to him who made things.
