360 THE ORIGIN OF MEDICINE CEREMONIES OR POWER. 
There was another young man, who was also of high birth, who 
became very jealous of the young man, for the young man had married 
the girl whom he wanted. The jealous boy went to the girl’s brother 
and told him many bad things about his brother-in-law, so that the 
brother also wanted to harm his sister’s husband. The married boy 
told his brother-in-law that of all the Horses he had, he must not ride 
the dun Horse or the black Horse when hunting. The brother-in-law 
stayed in the tipi one day and told his father that he wanted the dun 
Horse for hisown use, but his father told him that he could not have the 
dun Horse, for it belonged to his son. The boy left the tipi, went out, 
bridled the dun Horse, and chased Buffalo. As he came up with one 
bull, it turned around and hooked the Horse in several places; then it 
hooked the boy in several places and killed him. The owner of the dun 
Horse was staying in the tipi, when the black Horse neighed. The owner 
of the dun Horse then said to his father-in-law: ‘‘Go and bring your 
boy, for he is dead. A Buffalo has killed him and my Horse.”’ The old 
man did not believe it. He went through the village asking everybody

take the body of the boy around the village and place it on the east side. 
The old man knew that the young man was going to perform a miracle; 
that he was going to try to bring his boy back to life. The owner of the 
dun Horse then told the people that they must all keep quiet and fasten 
their Horses tight, so that none of them could get away. That night 
they heard the Horses neigh and snort; then there was a rumbling noise. 
All the horses in the village seemed to jump up and run and were scared; 
but the owner of the dun Horse had placed guards around the village 
to keep the people still. The neighing of the Horses was kept up; also 
the rumbling noise. One of the men followed the noise around and 
found out that it was the black and the dun Horses that were running 
to the body of the young man. Just as the sun was coming up in the 
east, the two Horses ran over the young man and touched him. The 
horses went on the south side of the village and there stood panting. 
All through the night the young man sat up. He awoke his wife; 
told her to prepare a meal by boiling some of the fattest buffalo meat. 
After the meat was boiled down, the owner of the dun Horse told his 
wife to go to their brother and touch and shake him and tell him to
