The Aberdeen Democrat. (Aberdeen, South Dakota) 1???-1909, 1905-12-08

Sitting Bull was killed. Miss Collins.
who went with us from Little Eagle
to Bull Head, told US the pathetic
story of that fanticism on the spot
where it had its being. She was there
on the ground a great deal of the time
and labored with the deluded Indians,
with the help of Others who remained
true to their baptismal faith, and did
ave many from the consequences of
the mania. It'was not an uprising.
The feeling a white mar has for
races of olher colors is strong within
me. / can't help it nor do / care to.
But of all the peoples, Indians, China
men, Japs, negroes, Filipinoes, or
Hawaiians that [ have ever seer in
any numbers the Indian comes first in
my estimation. I don't mean for a
minute to say that he is the equal, in
many respects, to the Japanese, but
he has an innate manhood, an indie
pendence, a stiffness in the back, if
you please, that you don't find in any
of the races mentioned. Cruel, vim
dicative, t%reacherous he may have
been-may be, but you see the other
side, the human side, through Miss
Collins eyes and it is only just to
recognize its existence.
THE MESSIAH CRAZE AND SITTING BULL
The Indian Messiah was to come
out the west. 1t is a long story, too
long for these columns, Of how the
thing originated and how Sitting Bull
happened to hear of it. But it grew,
like many a white mans craze, and
Sitting Bull saw on opportunity to
take advantage of it. He had been
east among the white people a good
deal and vas more or less familiar
with some of the religious manias and
new creeds that have arisen in this
country in the past 50years. He knew
something of the power that a
religious leader, like Dowie for
instance, gets over his followers and
he deliberately undertook to accomp.
lish this in his country and among his
people. From what Miss Collins said
| don't-belieye that either he or any OF
his principal men had any idea OF
turning it into a revolt against the
white men. He knew better. He
had been too much among white men
to be ignorant of the actual state of
affairs in so far as their fighting power
was concerned to even imagine that
he could lead his people successfully
against them. But he had his owl
axe to grind and he was successful
Then it came about that alarming
stories were circulated about the up
rising and it was determined to arrest
Sitting Bull. Miss Collins had beer
at the big camp where the ghost
dances were being held and had sue
ceeded in sending many families bacl
to their homes. She talked with Sit
ting Bull; told him he was foalinp til,
people and would get them int,
trouble but he insisted that he wa
doing no different from what whit,
men were doingand still calling them
selves Christians and he refused 4
desist, although his attitude towar,
Miss Collins was one of respect an,
consideration. Finally Little Eapl
and about fifty Indian police wer
sent for Sitting Bull. Sitting Bu]
was then in his camp on the Gran,

with hundreds, even thousands. Of his
followers with him, The police knew
they took their lives in their hands
but they obeyed orders.
Well, there was a fight as every II
knows. Sitting Bull was killed just
in front of his door. Little Eagle was
killed near Sitting Bulls barn and so
were eight, l think, of the Indian
police, Seven o. eight OF Sitting
Bulls friends were also killed and are
now buried there. There are two
sides to the story, of course. One is
that Sitting Bull tried to escape aud
the other that he was killed to pay
out a grudge. | am a little bit en-
clined to think that the latter story
is right. 1t is all over now of course
but it was one of the last of the awful
tragedies that have marked the story
OF the white mans conquest of this
country.
Sitting Bull, among his own people,
was a kindhearted, charitable man.
He was. at the time of his death, SUD
porting at his home eleven orphan
children OF his tribe. He is said to
nave declared, on returning from one
of his trips with a circus, that he did
not want his people to become like
some of the white people whom.he
had seen.

YOUNG DIVER IN THE FIELD
TO WREST BACK THE LEADER
SHIP FROM TOM FOLEY.

second Assembly District Promises 20
Furnish Another Primary Fight Next
FAll-Several Of FOley's Captains Have
Deserted Him-DiyveF Club Booming.
After couple Of years Of peace among
TammAny men Of the Second Assembly dis
trict signs Of unrest are showing. and there
are indications that the fierce primary
fights which for the last ten years have from
time to time ragged in the district will be
renewed this fall. Big Tom Foley. now the
TammAny leader Of the district, will I'm
doubleday have TO struggle to keep his
leadership. Large numbers Of the men who
hocked to him when he defeated the late
Paddy Diver in 1901 are going back TO their
old home, the Diver Association.
There is a movement afoot to Dust Foley
and 70 put in his place DIVERS son, John
S. Diver. There il a great deal Of dis
satisfaction in the district with Foley.
His enemies say ne is doing nothing for
the district workers. They say that men
who apply 70 him TO help them get city jobs
get a quick right about face order, and
they assert also that Big Tom Is unable
10 perform the usual duties required OF a
Tanmany district leader, when II comes
70 finding bail late at night for erring con
stituents and doing other little odd jobs Of
this nature. because he lives uptown.
Diver always could land large numbers
OF the Italians Of Mulberry Bend and Of
other nationalties who live on the east side
Of Chatham Square in jobs in the Street
Cleaning Department and other depart
ments. Tom Foley doesn't seem to have
the knack Of doing this.
II was learned last night that many NOM
bers Of the down town Democratic Club,
Foleys headquarters, have left that club
10 Join the Diver Association. Among
those who have gone over are several cleo
ton district captains who control between
them several hundred votes. When Foley
beat Diver in 1901 II was by sma j major
ity. and II was admitted then that he would
not have won had II not been for the sup
port Of the Sullivans and the assistance
OF the police, who took good care that as
few Divverites as possible got near the polls.
Jimmy Diver, as he Is called In the
district, said last night my friends tell
me that they intend 70 run me for leader
against Foley at the next primaries. Some
OF them wanted me 20 be a candidate for
leadership last year but / declined because
/ underst cod that In a Presidential year
Leader Murphy didn't want any district
fRhts / am told now that Mr.. Murphy
has said that he will not interfere In any
district election this year, and for that
reason the old friends OF my father want
10 give the leadership Of the Second back
