Two thousand Sioux Indians sat
on the prairie, facing toward the
setting sun. The horns Of the cres-
cent formed by the thrOng left a
westward opening Of perhaps 100
yards. Running Antelope, Sioux
leader and orator. sat at the ex-
treme end of the southern horn.
Next to him sat Long Soldier, and
then Red Horse, who divided with
Running Bear the authority during
the ceremony. Around the crescent
the people were seated with due
regard for rank from the place of
honor, the men sitting In front.
Before Running Antelope was 9

as an altar. Before the altar stood
eight young men of the tribe All had
been carefully chosen. They were
known to be truthful and of good moral
character. Led by young Crazy Walk
ing, these young men were the pick
of the Sioux nation.
Running Antelope addressed the
chosen eight upon the importance Of
their mission; he bespoke certain eau
tions they should observe since their
mission and its results would be of
paramount Importance to all the
people.
An oath was administered while the

upon the reservations set apart for
them. Standing Rock, in North Da-
kota, was one Of the important Sioux
agencies, and here were gathered many
of the leaders who had been involved
in the Custer fight.
James Mclaughlin, the agent, had
come to Standing Rock in 1881 to
meet a slllen, resentful people who
were difficult to handle. Mclaughlin
had had more than ordinary success
with the Indians at Devils Lake agen-
cy, and he had been sent 10 Standing

smoldered there. His Sympathies were
