| The Messiah-Crazed Indians Said to Be
Spreading.
LAWRENCE Kan }, November 25th. Joe
Abner, Cheyenne Indian, from the Chey-
| enne and Arapshoe Reservation, l. T., SAYS
| the Messiah craze has taken hold of the
Indians there, and they are arming and be-
coming very restless. a Sioux, acting as a
missionary, has come from the north to
| tesch the new religion to the southern
| tribes. He breaches to them thst anyone
| who does not believe in the new religion
| will be destroyed, and so works upon the
| imaginations of these people that they fall
PROSTATE 10 the ground, and while lying
| there the missionary pretends TO cas-. some
spell on them, and when they arise they
declare they have seen the new Christ, and
at once join il the ghost dance. The new
religion has also spread to the KioWas, Co.
manches and Apaches.

CHEYENNEs QUIET.
PIERRE (S D November 25ih-A party
of Pierre people has returned from Fort
Bennett, where they witnessed the issuance
of rations to the Indians. They emphat-
ically deny that there is any danger of an
outbreak at the Cheyenne Agency, although
ghost dancing is still kept up to some ex-
tent.
SITTING BULL WILL RESIST.
MINNEAPOLIS, November 25th.-The Til
6une's Standing Rock special says: Two
scouts returned to day to Fort Yates from q
visit to Sitting Bulls camp. They found
Sitting Bull and his adherents very ugly.
He told them he understood the soldiers
were coming to take him, but he had his
runners out, and on the first news of the
soldiers he and his people would leave.
They have abandoned the mems houses,
said he, and will not return to them Or to
the agency. The supposition here is that
if Sitting Bull hears of serious trouble at
Pine Ridge, or if the military attempt to
take him, he and his followers will make
at once for the lower agencies, thereby de-
claring war
STEALING CATTLE.
MINNEAPOLIS, November 25th.-The Tri-
beaer special from Pierre says that every
thing is quiet at the Cheyenne Agency.
AT the hostile camp on Cherry Greek yes
terday, however, several turbulent Indians
captured an entire herd of cattle, and, taking
them to their camp, issued them to suit
themselves. The white man in charge
dared to make no resistance.
THE CRAZE SPREADING.
KANSAS CITY, November 25th.-A special
from Arkansas City tells of excitement
among the Indians in that territory over
the Messish craze. A delegation of Pom
COS, Onteos. Missouris and Iowss returned
TO the reservations to day from a pilgrim
age TO the Cheyernes, where they learned
all the latest news of the Messiah. These
Indians dwell on adjoining reservations,
and will inaugurate ghost dances on Fri
day.
PLUNpERING EXPEDITION.
OMAHA, November 25th.-A special from
Pine Ridge says: 1t is learned to night that
Indians are en- route from Rosebud, six
hundred strong, plundering the deserted
settlers houses along the route, all killing
cattle and feasting on fresh beef
Seventy Cheyennes were enlisted as
scouts By General Brooke to night. A
watch is being kept over Red Clouds band,
as it is feared that small raiding parties are
preparing to start from his camp.
There were no disquieting developments
at Pine Ridge to-day.
The issue of rations goes on, many of
the dancers coming in for them and being
treated the same as others.
