1t Stirs Up the Friendly Indians
on the Fort Berthold
Reservation.
They Want the White People
to Leave Them to Tnem-
selves.
Trouble Feared From MandAns Who
Have Never Yielded Obediencs
to the Government.

BISMARCK, Dec. 81. Especial. Tho In
dians on the Fort Berthold reservation. un-
able any longer to stand aside and leave
have all the fun to themselves. have at last
become affected with the messiah craze and
are indulRing in ghost dances with the
same vim that characterizes demonstra-
tions elsewhere. The Bertholds have been
the most orderly Indians on the American
continent. A private letter received to-day
states that some fears are entertained of
trouble from these hitherto peaceful In
dians. They are under the tutelage of
several Sioux from Standing Rock, who de-
serted during the annual visit of the Berth
olds to that agency month ago. They
are beginning to act very strangely and
Agent Murphy, to be on the safe side, has
asked for troops. The writer of this letter ex-
pressed the opinion that if anything serious
should occur, he believes these Indians,
who are composed of the Gros ventres,
Arickarees and Mandans. would notify all
the white people on the reservation to leave.
He thinks that the Indians do not intend
to break away from the reservation, but
that they will attempt to hold it against
any intrusion by the whites. They want
the reservation all to themselves with no
white men in their midst to molest them.
There is band Of Mandan Indians, under
the leadership of the celebrated chief, Grow
Flies High, located on the Little Missouri,
who have never yielded obedience to the
government. The Mandans hold them
selves aloof from any intercourse and do
not draw subsistence from the
government. More fear is felt
from the latter Indians than from
those on the reservation, who have long
been the white mans friends. While the
dance is in hot progress, the Berthald In
dians imagine they see the ghost of Sitting
Bull descending in a cloud with his arms
outstretched, beckonig them to continue
the dance and they would. in due time see
their messiah.

their beautiful church building and
the success of last Sunday in provid

LONDON. Oct. 20. -Formidable uprisings
of desperate peasants have taken place in
many districts of Russia, and 1900 troops
are operating against the insurrectionis,s,
who swear that death is preferable to
serfdcm. Conflicts have occurred at Khar-
koff and Yekernoslav, in which mobs of
peasantry were routed by the troops with
considerable loss of life of life The peas
ants fought desperately, but, being poor
ly organized and wretchedly armed, were
soon scattered by the deadly fire of the
soldiers, who took many prisoners.
Pillage and Incendiarism.
Large bands of the insurgents are pill
laying in a number of districts and de-
stroylng property which they cannot carry
away. Five thousand acres of forests on
on the River Samara have been burned,
large quantities of corn in Bakmvotsk
have been destroyed, and land owners
have been subjected TO numerous out
RACES. The ear has ordered a report to
be made in the case of the alleged mis-
take of Governor Gurkho. of Warsaw, by
which a peasant charged with murder
WIS hurried to execution without suffi-
cient evidence, the reai murderer being
discovered afterward.
The Insurrection Spreading.
The minister OF the interior has issued a
proclamation aboishing all peasant
rights in the disturbed districts, and a
number of the leaders have been ordered
to Moscow and St. Petersburg for trial.
Late reports indicate that the insurrec-
ton is spread nS rapidly, and. though eff
forts are being made by the government
to belittle the movement, The Tele-
graphs correspondent ut St. Petersburg
says the minister of the interior has ad-
vices which cause much uneasiness in the
Russian capital.
