THE INDIAN MESSIAH.
Porcupine's Story of the Mv.terious Being
Who is 10 Overturn the world.
The mystery Of the Indian Messiah
vino has arisen In the west m the
savior Of the Indian races, ha. without
doubt awakened widespread interest
wherever the strange story has
reached. 1t IL known that every In
disn trib- In the west, from Mexico
to the Dominion. has been instructed
in the doctrines Of the new Christ. but
until recently no white man has been
informed ss to these teachings. The
recent trouble with the Cheyenne In
dians on the Rosebud brought to the
agency number of pale face officials
both civil and military, who in the
prosecution of their investiga ions
held numerous councils with the In
dians, and st one of these talks Porcu
pine, Cheyenne who had visited the
new Christ appeared and in n most
dramatic manner told what he had
seen afid heard, We are inteb,sd N
the Helena Independent for the story,
repoyted on the srot bv n. eorres,on.
