A tradition has long prevailed among
theee that a great prophet or medicine
man would some day relieve them from
the hated bondago of tho whites. So
when last Aprils messenger came among
them from the north, and said that cer
tain chiefs there had been visited by the
great Messiah, all were ready for the
story, and many believed at once in the
coming savior. The Cheyennes and
Arapahoes were tho most active in the
matter, and at once raised a snm of
money and sent two of their number to
the reservations in the north, with the
request that at least one of the prophets
of the coming Messiah should visit the
southwest
Theee messengers visited the Sioux
agencies in Dakota, and returned with
the assurance of the great prophet that
he would visit the southern tribes very
soon. This great prophet proved to be

chief of the Arapahoes, who had gone
north eight years before. Cheyennes and
Arapahoes to the number of 8,000 gath
ered on the bonks of the Canadian river
eonth of Fdrt Reno to listen to the story
of their coming savior. Sitting Bull
stood in the center of a great circle, with
tho chiefs sitting at his right and left,
and with many Btrango signs and mys
terious movements told the following
story:
About n year ago ho went hunting
with a large party of Sioux among the
mountains in Wyoming. One day he
becamo separated from the rest, and, led
on by some strange impulse, ho hurried
on toward the Shoshone mountain,
which arose in the western horizon.
When darkness came on he was at the
foot of tho mountain, and just before
him shone a bright red star, which he
followed all night, and at daybreak
fonnd himself on a great rock which
overlooked a valley more beautiful ILan
any ho had ever seen. Down its center
flowed a stream clear os crystal and alive
with darting fish. On the mountain
sides were deer and mountain sheep, on
the lower slopes grazed thousands of
buffalo and here and there a bear prowled
among tho nnderbrnsh.
In the open places stood great num
bers of Indian lodges covered with the
finest skins, while at many places in the
valley ho saw great numbers of Indians
in a strango dance, aid to his ears
was wafted the sound of strange and
mysterious songs. Just below, him he
recognized n party of dancers as Chey
ennes and Arapahoea, who had died and
gone to the happy hunting grounds.
There wens all tho great chiefs of the
past. Long ho stood and gazed upon
the scene, when suddenly a voice at
tracted his attention to the rear, where
standing upon the mountain side was a
strange being wrapped ins blanket of
white and with flowing hair of the same
And such a dance as it was! On a
conch of skins reclined Sitting Boll, sur
rounded by the chiefs cf tho tribes, while
round about them inagreat circle danced
the braves. With painted faces and
hair bedecked with feathers, from left to
right they circled, now leaping into the
air, now beating their breasts, now re
peating in a low, monotonous tono the
refrain of a "spirit song,’’ and suddenly
breaking into the weird funeral yell of
tho tribe.
When this dance was finally brought
to a close most of the participants were
worked into a perfect frenzy, and all re
turned to their homes preaching the new
doctrine, and prepared to bo called at
any time to aid in driving the whites
from the country.
Sitting Bull and a delegation of be
lievers at once visited the Kiowa, Co
manche, Apache and Wichita tribes,
where were enacted the same scenes that
had taken place at Darlington.
Arrangements were then made to hold
a grand danoe, to he participated in by
all the tribes, and it seemed for a time
that the Indians were to bo so carried
•way by the new belief os to be led into
making war upon tho whites.
While the believers in the new Mes
siah at the north all hold that he will
command them to drive the whites from
the land by force, those hero in the
eonth are divided. Some believe in war
as do the faithful at the north, bat the
greater number lielieve that the Messiah
is all powerful, ind can dispose of the
whites without any help.

Commissioner Morgan is a man who
says little but does mneh. As soon as
he arrived in the territory he went to
Anadarka, in the midst of tho wild
tribes, and there held a conference with
the Apaches, Comanches, Wichitas, Ki-
owas and Caddoes, which was the largest
Indian conference ever held in tho south
west Assisted by tho Indian agent, the
Baptist and Methodist missionaries and
a number of tho young Indians who had
been at school, he succeeded in winning
a large number of the most prominent
Indians from the new belief and con
vincing them of the falseness of the
doctrine. All of tho tribes then agreed
to return to their homes and go about
their usual avocations, whether they be
lieved in the coming Messiah or not.
At Darlingt-m a conference was held
with the Cheyennes and Arapahoes with
similar results, and among the Poncas
and Osages it was fonnd that the craze
had made bnt little headway, and the
few who wanted to dance indulged in
that pastime until they got tired and
then returned to their homes.
The Indian commissioner is a man pos
sessed of strong personal magnetism, and
he exerted a wonderful influence over
the Indians he met.
Bitting Bull meanwhile took the ponies
with which he had been presented and
left for his home in the north. While a
number of the Indians still believe inrthe
coming Messiah, and persist in holding
dances in his honor, their number is now
comparatively small, and there is no
longer any possible danger of an upris
ing among tho southern Indians.
