The record comprises the most important events in the life of Running-Antelope as a warrior. Although frequently more than one person is represented as slain, it is not to be inferred that all were killed in one day, but during the duration of one expedition, of which the recorder was a member or chief. The bird (_Falco cooperi?_) upon the shield refers to the clan or band totem, while the antelope drawn beneath the horses, in the act of running, signifies the personal name. Figure 124. Killed two Arikara Indians in one day. The lance held in the hand, thrusting at the foremost of the enemy, signifies that he killed the person with that weapon; the left-hand figure was shot, as is shown, by the discharging gun, and afterwards struck with the lance. This occurred in 1853. [Illustration: FIG. 124.--Killed an Arikara.] Figure 125. Shot and scalped an Arikara Indian in 1853. It appears that the Arikara attempted to inform Running-Antelope of his being unarmed, as the right hand is thrown outward with distended fingers, in imitation of making the gesture for _negation_, _having nothing_. [Illustration: FIG. 125.--Shot and scalped an Arikara.] Figure 126. Shot and killed an Arikara in 1853. [Illustration: FIG. 126.--Shot an Arikara.] Figure 127. Killed two warriors on one day in 1854. [Illustration: FIG. 127.--Killed two warriors.] Figure 128. Killed ten men and three squaws in 1856. The grouping of persons strongly resembles the ancient Egyptian method of drawing. [Illustration: FIG. 128.--Killed ten men and three women.] Figure 129. Killed two Arikara chiefs in 1856. Their rank is shown by the appendages to the sleeves, which consist of white weasel skins. The arrow in the left thigh of the recorder shows that he was wounded. The scars are still distinct upon the person of Running-Antelope, showing that the arrow passed through the thigh. [Illustration: FIG. 129.--Killed two chiefs.] Figure 130. Killed one Arikara in 1857. Striking the enemy with a bow is considered the greatest insult that can be offered to another. The act of so doing also entitles the warrior to count one _coup_ when relating his exploits in the council chamber. [Illustration: FIG. 130.--Killed one Arikara.] Figure 131. Killed an Arikara in 1859 and captured a horse. [Illustration: FIG. 131.--Killed one Arikara.] Figure 132. Killed two Arikara hunters in 1859. Both were shot, as is indicated by the figure of a gun in contact with each Indian. The cluster of lines drawn across the body of each victim represents the discharge of the gun, and shows where the ball took effect. The upper one of the two figures was in the act of shooting an arrow when he was killed. [Illustration: FIG. 132.--Killed two Arikara hunters.]
