THE CORBUSIER WINTER COUNTS.
1871-’72.—No. I. John Richard shot and killed an Oglála named Yellow-Bear, and the Oglálas killed Richard before he could get out of the lodge. This occurred in the spring of 1872. As the white man was killed after the Indian, he is placed behind him in the figure.
No. II. Adobe houses were built by Maj. J. W. Wham, Indian agent (now paymaster, United States Army), on the Platte River, about 30 miles below Fort Laramie.
White-Cow-Killer calls it “Major-Wham’s-house-built-on-Platte-River winter.”
1872-’73.—No. I. Whistler, also named Little-Bull, and two other Oglálas, were killed by white hunters on the Republican River.
No. II. Antoine Janis’s two boys were killed by Joe (John?) Richard.
White Cow-Killer calls it “Stay-at-plenty-ash-wood winter.”
1873-’74.—No. I. The Oglálas killed the Indian agent’s (Seville’s) clerk inside the stockade of the Red Cloud Agency, at Fort Robinson, Nebraska.
