GHOST DANCERS DANCE.
A SERIOUS OUTLOOK AT PINE
RIDGE.
Indians Engage In Dancing and an
Outbreak Is Almost Sure to ,
FolloW-Three Indian
Murderers Are
Killed..
MAXI Good In dians.

Sioux City, Iowa, Special, Feb. IA
government official from the PIN Rldge
country, who is in the city to-day, says
matters on the reservation are in a much
more serious condition than is indicated
by the dispatches relative to the recent
troubles. He says all dispatches have 10
be inspected and edited by Agent Brown
before they are sent out. This was done
with the dispatches about the murder OF
the four cowboys. Their murder was the
result of ghost dancing, in which many
of the Indians are engaged. When the
weather moderates, he says, there VIII
almost certainly be In outbreak. Set
tiers are petitioning to have troops put
on the reservation.
Washington, Feb. 7.-Secretary Noble
has received a telegram from Inspector
Cisney at Pine Ridge, S. D., in which he
says that the police have returned from
their pursuit of the cowboy murderers,
and report having killed, about sixteen
miles from the agency, three Indians VINO
participated in the murder.
Chicago. Feb. NO additional partlcu
lars about the Indian trouble at Fine
Ridge agency have been received at de-
partment headquarters here. In fact
any information already obtained came
through direct sources. Capt. Hugglns,
who is one of the most experienced OF
fcers in the department, said to-day:
mo deliberate or premeditated out
break of Indians would be made at this
time Of year. Until the grass was in
good condition no movement would be
made. The fight the other day seems to
have been a sporadic sort of affair, the
outcome of some sudden quarrel. 1t
would seem to me that a general good
feeling exists at Pine Ridge as the In
dams, if they are in large numbers, would
not have submitted so readily to the
prompt measures taken by the Indian

Pine Ridge Agency, s. D., Special,
Feb. DIR. Eastman, the agency doctor,
left for the East Tonight. The doctor
is d full blooded Sioux. and is better ac-
auainted with the movement of his tribe
than any Body on the agency. In regard
to the latter's affairs he says that it
will lead to an outbreak without a
doubt. The Indians since the war of
1890 have been brooding over the af-
fair and are dissatisfied. They have no
complaint against the gov eminent in this
me particular; they get enough to eat
and wear but they do not like the ac-
ton of the government toward the hos
tiles. Those Indians after the war were
pampered and shown attention, while
the friendly Indians were not even
thanked for the part they played in the
suppression Of the Sevolt. They openly
say they will never help the government
against their people. They do not
boast this openly and encourage an out
break. but that is their sentiment
privately expressed.
The dissatisfaction in this regard can
be seen on every hand and the authori.
ties know it, but will not acknowledge
it. Young-M an-Afraid-of-H His Horses pro
fesses friendship to the whites, but al
heart he is in sympathy with the others
All the active head men are sore agains,

h~ostiles, will lend them power stealthily
Even Capt. Swords, justice of the peace
and one of the best educated Indians
on the agency and the most powerful
man of the nation, is in sympathy with
the Indians. and has said that in case
of Il revolt he would stand aloof and not
help the whites. He said the same thing
a year ago when at Washington. d. G.
