FORT RENO, I. r., Dec. 30.-The messiah
craze has broken out afresh among tht
Cheyennes and Arapahoes, and not Iittl,
anxiety is felt. While it IS quiet enough
near the reservation buildings, the dancing
has been gong on among the hills fol
several days, and the craze is apparently
spreading. The leaders are Whirlwinc
and Old Crow of the Cheyennes, and Lefl
Hand. head chief of the Arapahoes Al
first the gathering was small, but the In
dians have been streaming into the camp
until now there are from loo TO ,2Ol
present. They declare that the messiah
who is to expel the whites. bring back the
buffalo and restore their hunting grounds
20 the Indians, is soon coming, and that
the ghost dance viii be kept up day and
night until he arrives.
Runners have come in from Walkers
Lake in Nevada, inciting the Indians "a
activity. and predicting the early appear
ance OF the messiah. The ghost dance goes
on day and night, the Indians being di-
Vldcd into relays, one party relieving
another as fatigue overcomes them, All
are provided with ghost shirts and seem
terribly in earnest. Whoops and yells are
beard at all hours, day and night, from the
dills where the tribes are gathered.
As yet the excitement mas not reached
Che Comanches, but it is feared that they,
too, may become involved. This is re-
garded as a serious danger, as the Conan
ches have an ample supply of ponies, in
which the Cheyenne and Arapahoes are
deficient. All are well armed with Win
ohesters and revOlvers.
The officers most experienced in Indian
warfare are not inclined to believe that
any serious outbreak will occur at present,
as the Indians have horror of winter
campaigns; but the excitement NAV cause
chem to depart from their usual practice

OF grass for their ponies.
