Arrow's Nisson comrade, wearing the same shirt and the same lightning face paint as in Plate 108, as well as a variant of the hat shown in Plate 90, is running off three horses. Although the variety of brands indicates that these animals have changed ownership several times, the heart-shaped brand on the left shoulders shows their present relationship, and is the key to relating this drawing to the preceding action in Plates 108-109. The Cheyenne has back-trailed the heart-branded bay stallion which attacked Arrow's herd, and is here leaving the owners afoot.

This man---wearing the same shirt, dark leggings, red breechcloth, and apparently riding the same white horse---appears in Plates 146 & 160. In each scene he is capturing branded horses. Although in Plate 146 the horse's sheath is not indicated, the repeated numeral "3" branded on its left shoulder probably indicates it is intended as the same animal shown here.

Note the bandolier with attached blue cloth packet of protective herbs worn around the Cheyenne's chest.
