The Ghost Dance at Standing Rock.

The Ghost Dance at standing Rock.
BISMARCK, n. D., Nov. %. - The
ghost dance is kept up by the crazy In
dams at Standing Rock. This is about
the only excitement at the agency. The
dances work them up toa terrible frenzy.
The military authorities are trying TO
stop it as the Indians have become de-
mons and are liable to make serious
trouble. There is no truth in the re-
port that the Indian police have thrown
of their badges and joined the dancers,
but several, however, are shaky. They
dance day and night and only quit
when totally exhausted. Several have
died from the effects. They go through
a sort of sweating process before enter
ing the dance. Sitting Bull has gained
more popularity among the Indians
lately on account of prophesying there
would be no winter this year. AS the
weather SO far has been remarkably
fine, something unprecedented at this
season OF the year, the Indians are
now inclined to look upon Sit
ting Bull as a great prophet
and Of the proper stuff to
lead his forces TO victory should there
be occasion for hostilities against the
whites, 1t is hard for q correspondent
to obtain news from army headquarters.
The officials are very reticent regarding
military mo Sements, and the newspa-
per man must be alert as he has to work
in an atmosphere pregnant with mys-
teries. The officers are trying to assure
the settlers that there is no danger of
au uprising, but the old-timers know
more about Indians than the West
Point graduates and are preparing as
fast as possible for an outbreak. Com
pany g., Twenty-second infantry, ar
rived at Fort Yates yesterday to
strengthen the military forces. A
troop Of cavalry was sent out today on
n scouting expedition through Emmons
and Campbell counties, from which
points are coming reports OF d%epreda-
tons by Indians. A woman who had
given birth to q child a few hours be-
fore the alarm was spread, was bundled
away in a wagon by her excited hus.
band, and both the child and mother
died from the exposure. White Arm,
the young Indian who committed the
outrage on Miss Dora Wright Saturday
night, was given a hearing in justice
court today and was bound over to
await trial in the sum of 81. 600.
