The enemy then walked to the en- trance and found the entrance open. So he walked in. The husband then arose from his hiding place. He caught the enemy from behind, so that he held his arms. The woman took the grass and willow limbs and threw them upon the hot coals, so that there was a big blaze. She then went out and screamed, "My man has an enemy in our lodge!" The men ran into the lodge, and there was the young man, holding on to the enemy. The enemy was overpowered, and a seat was given hi...m.
The man had long hair. His face was painted. Bunches of medi- cine were tied upon his head. On his right arm was tied a rattlesnake skin. On his left arm was tied the shell of a turtle. The tail was upon it. The man made signs and said: "Next month, all of you people will be killed by the southern tribe of Indians. You make fun of me, but it is true. I came to capture a woman." The man was then taken to the Awaho bundle's lodge. There they had singing. In a few days the man was placed upon a scaffold of four ash timbers, and his hands and feet were tied with strong buffalo strings.
