Arapahoes are sorrowful. For two years
they have watched and waited for the
coming OF the Messiah--waited with
faith that could be shaken only by the
word of the Messiah'S earthly representa-
tive. 4 short time ago they sent three Of
their number, Young Sitting Bull, Washee
and Ed Geary, to Walkers Lake, Nevada,
to learn the exact time at which the
Messiah would appear, and were panied to
learn that his coming had been postponed
for four years. They met Jack Wilson, a
young Piute Indian, who claims to speak
for the Messiah, and from him received
the above information. Wilson, although
a full blood, was raised By white family,
and from them learned OF the second COM
Ing, which he was shrewd and unpriu-
cipled enough to turn TO good account
among the ignorant Indians. The Piutes
and other northern tribes are losing faith
and Genounce Wilson as a fraud, but the
Cheyennes and Arapahoes believe that lie
i all that he claims TO Be, and that the
Messiah VIII get here on schedule time.
