K,ching Horse. the great Sioux
prophet, has been visiting the Indians
under. Major McLaughlln's charge and
with the Sitting Bull contingent down
on Grand river, has succeeded in stirr
ing up considerable excitement. The
prophet claims to have visited heaven
and returns to earth TO tell his fellow
Indians Of the good things in store for
Them, The Sioux Ind dians at Standing
Rock were supposed to be TOO intelli
gent to take any stock in the nonsense
preached by Kicking Horse, hut so
much excitement was caused and such &
q restless, crazy spirit engendared That
Major Mclaughlin found it necessary
to order the prophet off the reservation
and to put several Indians In the guard
house for continuing the seances, Al
though Kicking Horse has been run Off
! he has left many converts here and
Sitting Bull is particularly RESTLESS. lf

possible that the excitement would re-

the aid OF troops to put down. The
Initiation is something like a secret
society. The candidate is blindfold5d !

around until too dizzy 10 stand. In the
meantime the Indians on the outside

date comes cat ut Of the tepee with the
pronlet and his dizziness aud strange
actions convince tbs other Indians
| that there is something superhnman
about him. The prophet tells them
they must keep on dancing. They have
been at this for some time, They dance
until so exhausted they fall down and
sleep and when they awaken they are
mvstiied at their surroundings and still
stronger in the faith. .l
