mander of the northwest, returned to
Pierre from Forts 'Sully and Bennett,
whore he went to investigate the In
dian Messiah craze and provide mill
tary protection if necessary. He finds
that rs matter of fact the Indians
are, in certain localities, considerably
wrought up over the new Messiah bus
mess. However, where it first broke
out the ardor is abating, as, for in
stance, at Standing Rock. So far as an
outbreak is concerned there will be
none. The cold weather is now on
and a few days of "below zero" wealth
er will chill this religious fever. 1t is
essential for outdoor work and the
dancing they indulge in is very ia
tiguing. 1t is too hard work to keep
up all winter and the fervor is too in
tense to last much longer. In fact it
has commenced to die out already in
some localities. The United States
army is too much for them and the
Indians are shrewd enough to know
and appreciate the fact that railroads
border them on all sides and that
troops could be massed in their vicin-
ity from every side in a few days. The
