siah to Appear Soon.
Mrs. Weldon, of Brooklyn, the woman
lately made famous through reports of her
love match with Sitting Bull has arrived at
Pierre, S. D. Mrs. Weldon said that Sitting
Bull is now leading the messiah craze with
such effect that the Indians have one and
all disavowed all friendship with the whites,
and are hourly expecting the arrival of
their new messiah, when they will at once
come into possession of the earth Emissaries
from this new Christ have appeared among
the various tribes during the past week,
who announced that the time was now very
close for the grand event. Their super
stition has taken hold of them with
strange and ardent fervor. They now re-
fuse to let white men approach the places
where they are holding their religious cere-
monies. General Ruger, of the Department
of Dakota, on the contrary, says the craze
is diving out.
