PIERRE, s. D.. Dec. N.-A ranchman in
to-day from up Bad river reports that the
hitherto pesoeable semi-civilized tribe OF
Two Kettle Sioux has begun ghost dance.
Night before last some of the bucks.
when returning home, claimed to have
seen white figure on top Of bluff.
One of them said it was Sitting
Bull. The alleged phantom motioned
them to follow, and glided from hill to hill
in the direction of the Bad Lands. The
ranchman says the Indians accepted this as
proof that Sitting Bull is the messiah and
that he was beck0ning them to follow. The
ghost dance is the consequence. and the
ranchman says the Indians as far down az
Willow creek are affected. II the story ID
true it is a serious affair.
