No. II. Four-Horn was made a calumet or medicine-man. This was probably the result of an important political struggle, as there is much rivalry and electioneering for the office, which, with its triple character of doctor, priest, and magician, is one of far greater power than the chieftainship. A man with four horns holds out the same kind of ornamented pipe-stem shown in the character for 1804-’05, it being his badge of office. Four-Horn was one of the subchiefs of the Uncpapas, and was introduced to General Harney at the council of 1856 by Bear-Rib, head chief of that tribe. No. III. A Minneconjou Dakota, named Red-Fish’s-Son, danced calumet dance. Mato Sapa says the same as last. Major Bush says, “A Minneconjou, Red-Fish’s-Son, The-Ass, danced the Four-Horn calumet.” Interpreter Clément, in the spring of 1874, said that Four-Horn and Sitting-Bull were the same person, the name Sitting-Bull being given him after he was made a calumet man. No other authority tells this. [Illustration: BUREAU OF ETHNOLOGY FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT PL. XXVIII 1857-’58. 1858-’59. 1859-’60. THE DAKOTA WINTER COUNTS.] 1857-’58.--No. I. White-Robe kills a Crow woman. There is but one arrow and one blood spot in the character. No. II. The Dakotas killed a Crow squaw. The stripes on the blanket are shown horizontally, Brave-Bear’s, 1854-’55, and Swan’s, 1866-’67, being vertical. She is pierced by four arrows, and the peace made with the Crows in 1851-’52 seems to have been short lived. No. III. A party of Crow Indians, while on a visit to the Dakotas, had one of their number killed by a young Dakota. The figure has blood from the four arrows running down each side of the body. Mato-Sapa says: A Crow was killed by a Dakota while on a visit to the latter. Major Bush says substantially the same as Mato Sapa. 1858-’59.--No. I. Lone-Horn makes medicine. “At such times Indians sacrifice ponies, etc., and fast.” In this character the buffalo-head is black. No. II. Lone-Horn, whose solitary horn appears, made buffalo medicine, probably on account of the scarcity of that animal. Again the head of an albino bison. One-Horn, doubtless the same individual, is recorded as the head chief of the Minneconjous at this date. No. III. A Minneconjou chief, named Lone-Horn, made medicine with white buffalo-cow skin. Lone-Horn, chief of Minneconjous, died in 1874, in his camp on the Big Cheyenne. 1859-’60.--No. I. Big-Crow killed. No. II. Big-Crow, a Dakota chief, was killed by the Crows. The crow, transfixed by an arrow, is drawn so as to give quite the appearance of an heraldic crest. No. III. A Minneconjou Dakota, named Big-Crow, was killed by the Crow Indians. He had received his name from killing a Crow Indian of unusual size. Mato Sapa says: Big-Crow, a Minneconjou, was killed by Crows. Major Bush says same as Mato Sapa.
