80 MESSIAH OR SACRED BUFFALO YET.
OMAHA. NEB.. Nov. 2O.-A Pine Ridge, ;.
d.. special SAYS that General Brooke and tie
military. numbering few less than i0ur
hundred. arrived at Pine Ridge agency at
o'clock this morning, AFTER one OF the
toughest forced marches ever experienced
hy the oldest members Of The command.
The troops suffered materially from the
cold during the march Of twenty-five
miles. which was begun at II O'Clock.
The roads are so rough that sew
eral WAGONS were overturned on the
Nav. and IA teamster named Burke. from
Fort Romah, was buried under one Of them,
mis- hip being broken. Many long delays
we're caused by such accidents. There
we've no hosliles TO meet the soldiers when
they arrived at the agency, and they at
once went into camp on plateau COM
handing the entire valley. Jack Red Cloud
and a lOt of the fanatics were at Wounded
Knee. TWENTY-FIVE miles away, putting
the finishing touch on a four days Ghost
dance. This is the day set Tor
the Messiah to appear in the form
of buffalo but up to noon no stray Mes
.iah nor buffalo has been reported on the
reservation, The Indian police have all
resumed ibeir duties. There are seldom
many indians about the agency, excepting
IN issue DAYS, consequently there is a lack
of hostiles about the post, most Of them
being down on the reservation at the various
VILLAGES. where they are holding their 1orses
in Il, ,Gancf of the orders Of The agent. The
next issue day is Monday.

and are dancing fully armed. They declare
that they will meet the soldiers. ana VIII
NOT hesitate to 60 into battle with them.
Reports relative to Indians declaring theii
willingness to fight for the religious craze
have come in frequently, but up to thls
tjme are simply rumOrs. This lniorma
ton comes direct. however, from a
source which Agent lsoyer pronounced
trustworthy. the man who carried ii

TROUBLE IMMINENT.
81 think it is just as well that people
outside be placed in possession Of exact
f,cts in this case,r said Mr.. Foyer. "li
h not worth while TO deny further
that the trouble is imminent. Every one
of these hOstiles is heavily loaded with
ammunition. and they will use it. l have
been among them before"
special from Pine Ridge says that there
il no apparent cause for alarm at the
agency. The few Indians there are all
