Cody buffalo BID has been ordered to
the seat of the Indian trouble, and left
last night for Omaha, Neb. The state
MALTA was ordered to prepare for ser

! their commander.
| Buffalo Bill before leaving for Ne
braska last night declared that ne is in
| favor Of ''taking care' OF Sitting Bull
| as one of the first acts towards settling
the trouble. "Of all bad Indians, said
he, "Sitiing Bull is the worst. Rocky
| Bear and Red Spirit are ii ehtng chiefs
and will do whatever is necessary to de-
feat Sitting Bull. The latter can always
be found with the disturbing element,
and If there Is no disturbance he will
fomsnt one. He is dangerous Indian :,
and his conduct now contends trouble. {"
Buffalo Bill saws the widespread craze
about the Messiah is ominious of evil.
The Indians do not telegraph or write
letters, yet the movement has spread so

Columbia TO Arizona.
THE DANCE GOES ON.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY. n D., Nov. "a.
AT Medicine Root, White river and
White Clay dancing still goes on, and
the Indians are not inclined TO come TO
the agency for any purpose. Red Star
and several other Indians who are in
cline6 TO be little defiant, agree with
Little Wound in his declaration that they
will rot come in unless they are forced
10 do so. Here the general feeling is a
nervous one. Every one agrees that
there will be trouble. The question
that every one is asking is will the ghost
dancers come in to see the agents under
the order of last Thursday for all peace
ably disposed Indians to report at the
agency. There are 1000 Indians. all
told, in the reservation. About 500 or
900 oil them have come in, but OF this
number there are not $50 able bodied
warriors. The discouteuted ones auI ia
natical ghost dancers are not among
them.
Jack Parker, the white man whose
wife teaches an Indian school, says the
Indians will demand u council aud de-
maud the removal OF many of the Indian
police aud as many other hings es they
can think OF. Then, should these de-
mands be refused, an effort will be made
to enforce than by breaking away from
the reservation and starting off to plum
der the settlers to the north and west.
Settlers agree that no council will be
held.

large numbers. The scare IS subsiding.
Indian Agent Nerville, who has just re-
turnsd from the Bad river country, SAYS

dances and promise not to participate in
them again.
CHEYENNE RATION DAY.
PIERRE. 5. ID Nov. 24.-Parties re-
turning from the Cheyenne agency to-
day state that barely an Indian was seen
there, II being monthly ration day. This
is the most suspicious cirrumstautial
authority, as all Indians show up always
on ration day.
A man named Whitfield, who runs q
store on White river near Rosebud. ar
rived here to-day, and reports band OF
Indians broke INTO and pilfered his store
during his temporary absence. He has
come to Pierre for safety, as also has a
a neighbor ranchmaD named Scoviile.
LOSING FAITH IN SITTING BULL.
BISMARCK. n. D., Nov. 24.-lndians |
at the Standing Rock agency are begin |
ming TO conceive, which the less excited |
have tried to explain to them, that their |
Messiah is a false expression concocted |
by Sitting Bull aud his prophetic |

fpr his rations strengthens this belief.
Bull had named a time and place for the
Messiah to appear " hich time has passed, |
and they were greatly disappointed |
At the Messiah not appearing. With the

are in earnest n their belief in the Mes
