174 THE MYTHOLOGY OF THE WICHITA. 
following day this man stayed at the chief’s home, and late that even- 
ing he went back to where he lived and brought everything he had— 
such things as war-bonnet and some other war materials that he had, 
and went to his new home with the chief. He asked his new wife to 
put all his things at the head of his bed. Early the next day he started 
out to hunt and kill game for the whole family. It was a custom that 
any man marrying a young woman should at once begin to support 
the family by going hunting, or on the war-path to bring home a scalp 
for the family. So this became 'Man-having-greater-Powers-than-any- 
other-Man’s duty, for he was a great warrior, and a great hunter. 
Another time the chief called the people to assemble at his place, 
and when the people came about the place he announced to the men 
that he had made up his mind that his other daughter was old enough 
to become some one’s wife; that he (the chief) was wanting the men 
to go out hunting; and that any one killing a red turkey and bringing 
it to him should have his next daughter. Then the men all went about 
their places to be ready for the next day, for they thought the chief’s 
daughter to be a great prize. On the next day all the men went out 
hunting for the red turkey. After they had gone, Man-having-greater- 
Powers-than-any-other-Man went out to hunt for the red turkey, and 
the very first thing that he did was to scare up a big bunch of turkeys, 
and in the midst of these turkeys was one red turkey. He took a shot 
at the red one and killed it. After killing this turkey he returned 
home. On his arrival he found that some one had already killed one. 
This was done by the Coyote. When the Coyote had killed the turkey 
he found that it was a white turkey, and he had painted it red so that 
he could make the people believe that it was a red turkey. The Coyote 
was hanging around the place, thinking that he had won the prize, 
and that he would become the chief’s son-in-law. When this Man- 
having-greater-Powers-than-any-other-Man arrived with the red tur- 
key, and was seen by everybody and proved that he had killed the real 
red turkey, then the chief said that he would give the young woman to 
him for his wife. The Coyote was angry at this man who had won 
the chief’s daughter away from him the second time. This young 
woman became the second wife of Man-having-greater-Powers-than- 
any-other-Man. 
The chief had three more unmarried daughters. Some time after- 
ward the chief called all this men to assemble again at his place. The 
men came about the chief’s place, then the chief was asked by the people 
why he had called them to come to him. The chief told the men that 
he had made up his mind that his third daughter should become a wife
