The Indian did not say his child's name when it died. And when any of his relatives died, he did not say their names. That, they said, was "swearing." Sometimes they name someone again with the name of the deceased. Then they could still say the name, and no harm was done.

Sometimes a person just wasn't thinking, so he said the name. Then they got angry at him and became his enemies. Then he paid something. Then they spoke to him again. Sometimes he paid five dollars and sometimes ten.

Sometimes when a person was peculiar, he "swore" (on purpose). When they told him to pay something and he refused, then sometimes a person was killed because of it. Maybe too it would be his brother or his uncle or any relative of his. That was Indian law.
