ght shawls and with their hair in whorls.

"When these girls see a Hair Eater Kachina coming up on the house top
they run from her, remembering the old trouble when that kind of a
kachina had done such an awful thing. The girls all ran into a room and
on down into a lower room, and the Huckovi girl followed them and caught
the chief's daughter and cut off a whorl of her hair and also cut her
throat. Then she went out on the house top and shook out the whorl for
all the people to see.

"Of course the dance stopped and everybody started to come after her,
but she and her brother ran from house top to lower house top and jumped
to the ground and ran on west by Toreva and toward home, with all the
men of Mishongnovi chasing them and shooting with bows and arrows. At
last some were coming after them on horses. Then her brother asked her
if she was too tired to run farther, fearing they would be caught. She
replied, 'No more tired than at first!'

"By now they had come to the Oraibi Wash, and looking back they could
see some men coming on horses.

"They remembered their two prayer-sticks, so they took them out of where
they had hidden them in their clothes and they planted them at the two
sides of the wash.

"And immediately a great whirl wind started up from that place and grew
into a great sand storm that blotted out their tracks and made such a
thick cloud that their enemies could no longer see them. Then they
turned straight home.

"So the children came home with the whorl and scalp attached, and the
father was satisfied.

"But the Mishongnovi chief was terribly angry and told his people to
make much bows and arrows.

"Then a friend of the Huckovi chief went over from Mishongnovi and told
all this to the war chief of Huckovi, who told his people to do
likewise, for now there will be war.

"So after preparations had gone on for a long time, the Mishongnovi
chief went to the Huckovi chief and said, 'We have to divide the land
between us, and Oraibi Wash shall be the line.' (Meaning the mark past
which an enemy was not to be pursued, and each would be safe on his own
side of the line.)

"Oraibi Wash was already the line for the same purpose between
Mishongnovi and Oraibi Village because of an older trouble.

"Well, when the enemies came from Mishongnovi to fight them, the Huckovi
people had gathered many rocks and rolled them down from the mesa top,
and killed so many that the Mishongnovi men started for home.
