The Chief

While his three comrades eat breakfast, Running Wolf, a Pawnee, nephew of Chief War Eagle, finds a buffalo herd that could feed the tribe for a year. Three Cheyenne enemy hunters appear, rivals for the herd, and liable to scalp him. Running Wolf's bow-string breaks. He flees, diving in the river, hiding underwater against a rock in the rapids. The Cheyenne believe him dead. Running Wolf runs home; he alerts War Eagle of the herd and the Cheyenne.
