II was stated that two reliable Brule
Indians, now in the city. had stated TO
army officers that there was no messiah
craze among the Indians just north Of

from Valentine give different accounts.
Since August the Indians at Rosebud
have been restless, claiming that the
agent was not giving them square deal
on supplies. Some families living north
west Of Valentine have moved away.
Alex. Mouwasan, an Ogallalla Indian and
government scout from Fort Robinson, is
in the city, and said to-day, referring To
the Indian craze: "Some think Il is so,
aud some don't know what 10 believe.
The Indians at Pine Ridge are dancing

what TO believe"

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. ls.-The Tribmc'S
Mandan, N. D., special says: Every house
in town is full 10 overlooking with ref
ugees from the country districts, The
most intense excitement prevails in the
country. Settlers are prepared TO believe
anything about the Indians. In the town
a somewhat less tension exists, owing TO
the receipt Of 800 guns TODAY from the
state government and the fact that COM
pany Of soldiers would be here tomorrow
morning from the fort.
Tonight there are 800 Indians in town
armed, but the citizens are armed too and
patrols will be out and people will
sleep with their clothes on. A date will
be fixed by the committee Of citizens, and
Indian agents will be notified that after
that date any Indian found In tins county
without pass from the agent will be
killed on sight. The population is excited,
and although conservative men are doing
their best to quiet the angry ones, there
is every eason 10 believe that unless the
government takes immediate steps TO in
crease the force Of soldiers here and at
Fort Lincoln, every Indian coming into
the county will be killed.
