ANOTHER STORY.
Agent Mayhugh Says the Mes
siah's Name Is Jack Wilson.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.-John S. May
hugh, until recently tine special census
agent of Indians for Nevada, has writ
ten to the Indian bureau upon the sub
ject of the coming of the Indian Mes
siah. In his letter Mr.. Mayhugh says:
d"The prophet resides in Mason Val
ley. Esmeralda county, Nevada, close to
the Walker river reservation-hiS name
is not johnson Sides at Reno, but Capt.
Jack Wilson, known among all Indians
by the Indian names of We Vo Kar, and
also Co We 10, an intelligent. fine-loOk-
ing Indian about twenty-five years of
age, who goes into frances, or seemingly
SO, for twelve to fourteen hours in the
presence of large numbers of Indians
upon invitation of prophet.
Upon his recovery he relates to
them what he has seen. He tells
them he has been to heaven. and
earth again, and will put the Indians in
possession of this country, that he has
seen in heaven heap of Indians, some
of which are dressed in white mans
clothes; he counselS the Indians not to
disturb the white folks, saying that the
blanket or rabbit skin that was put over
the moon by the Indians long ago will
soon fall off, and then the moon. which
Is now afire. will destroy the whites.
The Messiah is to appear on Mount
Grant, which is very large mountain
and is situated, about sixteen miles south
of the Walker River agency build
ings, and on the west side of
the lake. Here is where the first Indi-
ans appeared, according to their belief.
L visited this mountain last September
in performance of my duty as special
census agent of Indians. This mount
ain is held as sacred mountain to the
Indians, and on top they allege they
can see footprints of their first father,
Numerna. If | may be permitted to
suggest would recommend that all the
Indians be permitted to visit this noun
tain. as l am satisfied they will
only send delegates from each
tribe for the purpose of as
certaining the truth of the
prophecy. The Indians of Nevada ex-
pect delegations from most of the tribes
north and northeast, and Sitting Bull is
expected. The only fear the Nevada
Indians have is that the government
will interfere with troops. l think If
the Indians are let alone at the reserva-
tIOuo 0lIO NuOlC IlllliS Will ulO. AL vi
the Indians here do not believe in the
prophet, although Josephus. the chief
at Walker Lake, thinks it may be so.
Co We 10 is prophet for the reason
that he went twice to this prophet to
consult about water, as it no rain and
Walker river nearly dry up and upon
each occasion the prophet predicted
rain, which really came, and saved their
crops. hence their belief in this

posed of chiefs and leading braves, in
terpreting in Sioux tongue all accounts
of all Indians, thus informing
them what is occurring at other
points. The Indians seemed to
enjoy this. laughing heartily when they
heard of the great alarm everywhere
and settlers gathering at towns 100
miles east of the Missouri river for self
protection. 1t seemed to strengthen
their belief that the Messiah was com

afraid and ready to die off or flee and
leave the land to the Indians. They

are being sent and seem to know where
the best place is to strike when the

HELENA. Mont, Nov. 29-Edward
f. Vangorder, young man OF fine ap-
pearance and well dressed, came here
about year ago from St. Paul, Mimi,
where he had been employed by the
trust company for awhile, and clerked
in grocery store, sported around and
boarded at the best hotels. Last sum-
mer he started a mortgage and loan
company here, he being the only per-
son In the concern, and outsiders with
money to invest furnishing funds. His
plan was to charge to 10 per cent
per month on chattel mortgages,
and by agreement with those
who furnished the money he
collected interest. taking half for his
share. Many were glad to make loans
at such big rates, but did not wish their
names known in such unpopular busi-
ness. So Vangorder found plenty OF
capital to loan, and plenty of borrowers
as we'll. He was supposed to be making
money rapidly, as he had thousands of
dollars out for customers. The last
five or six weeks he has been acting
strangely, and was backward in col
lections. To-day he left town, and in
vestigation showed that most of his
customers money had either gone with
him or

away before he left. as Vangorder has
been collecting loans and interest and
making no returns. In one case he
took 5000 from widow in payment of a
note given to secure a cbattel mortgage.
He also put ehattel mortgage on his
own household furniture and after
wards sold the goods. This is crlmi-
nal offense by the laws of Montana.
Individual losses to customers by Van
gerter will run from few hundreds to
several thousand each, but the exact
total is not known. as the victims are
not disposed to talk. Friends were pre-
pairing to nelp him out of his difficulties,
not knowing how deep he was in, when
he suddenly skipped out. He is thought

WAR ON STANDARD OIL.
An Effort Made to Attack Its
Charters Legality.

An EnOrt Made to Attack Its
Charters Legality.
COLUMBUS, Nov. 29.-Attorney Gen.
eral Watson has filed in the supreme
court all amended petition in the case
of Ohio VS.. The Standard OIL Company,
to revoke its charter. This action is on
the ground that the Standard has ex-
tended beyond its charter and merged
into another corporation. Judge Kline,
of Cleveland, consented to the fling
amendments in order to give the
company until Jan. 1 to answer.
The amended petition alleges
that there are now in existence only
seven of the original 5000 shares of
Standard Oil stock, and that by the
agreements entered into between the
directors of the Standard and the
trustees of the Trust. the former con-
veyed to the latter 34,993 shares of
stock, and the trustees in return i'm
mediately issued an equal number of
certificates of the Standard Oil Trust
The petition further states that only
four of the nine trustees of the mOnOp-
oily are residents of Ohio. Another al
legation used in the petition to show
that the Standard is not now conduct
ing business as provided in its charter
is that, instead of the stockholders re-
ceiving the net earnings, they get their
proportion from the Trust on the Stand
ard certificates.

sent to the Indians that no injury is to
be done any at home. The present
danger is peculiar. About fifty young
men are raiding the whole country, de-
stroying everything, breaking all school
houses and mission chapels. These are

They opened house of S. E. Whitfield,

bud, and stole gold watch and chain
given to him last New Year by
friends at Rosebud, and large guam
tity of groceries. This band can break
up at any time after doing very
destructive work, or by allying them
selves to the hosties can destroy all the
hay and horses on the rserye. A few
runners are coming in but no authentic
news as yet. All the friendly Indians
from the hostile region are now on the

THE CITY WINS.
Dubuque Gains a Suit Involving
Nearly $4,000.


DUBUQUE, To-, Nov. ga noted
case has just been decided by Judge
Ney, of the district court. In 1856 the
city of Dubuque issued bonds for the
square on which the city hall
stands. Sarah Lee Porter, of New
York, bought some of them.
When the bonds matured in
1866, the city refused to pay them on the
ground that they had been issued in ex-
cess OF the constitutional limit of in
debtedness. The case was carried to
the supreme court of the United States,
which gave Judgment for plaintiff for
over $1,000. The city council refusing
to levy a special assessment to pay
this Judgment, the members of
the council were sued .individ-
ually. After considerable trouble,
the council settled with Mrs. Por-
ter. In 1870 she died, and the admins
traitor of her estate soon brought suit
to revive the Judgment, no record of the
settlement of which appeared here.
Judge Poor, of Dubuque, then inter
yened, claiming an attorneys lien on
the Judgment, amounting with interest
to $4,000. After prolonged fight the
case was taken under advisement by
Judge Ney, who has now decided in
favor of the city on every point. The
caselnvOlVed a total of nearl y S25, 900.

Wolf and Black Bear, of the Kiowas,

in full force on the Canadian river,
where the ghost dance is in full
progress. The warriors are camped
on the southern border of Oklahoma
and are estimated to number 5000, and
all are we'll armed and all have plenty of
supplies and are capable of doing
great deal of mischief, aud the whites
are very much alarmed. Quantah
Parker arrived at the camps day or
