BA7 SITTING BULL'S GHOST

The Old Sioux's Sbade Appears in the Shape of the Long-Eipected Messiah. Wpird Stcrj Tel J &J a Bad-RiTer Ranchman Bljr Foot and Other Hostile Eetorn to Tine Rids? Aencr Sherman's Yisira, A BAD-RIVEE STORY. Sitting Doll's Ghost Appears to the Two Kettle Stoaz la the Shape of the Messiah. Pierke. S. D.. Dec. 0. A ranchman named Thomas Uetland. located thirty-livo lailea up Bad rirer, arrived to-day, and tvhat he tells creates a decided sensation, as he Is a reliable "witness. He says a peaceable, Christianized and semi-civilized tribe of Two Kettle Sioux are now seized with sadden frenzy, and are imitating the wildest orgies of the ghost dance indulged in by the hostile. His account is as( follows: Night before lut seme Indiana were returning from little social Catherine when a sight met their eyes that chilled them to the bone. One of their number directed attention to the top of a bluft, and there stood a iignre in white perfectly motionless. Suddenly one of them cried out in Sioux, "It's Sitting Ball P Then did the marrow in the bones of these Indians grow cold, and their teeth chattered like beans in a barreL The phantom suddenly commenced waving an arm as if motioning them to follow, and with the speed of a bird glided from hill-top to hill-top, rically disappearing in the direction of the Bad Lands. Only one interpretation could be civen this ghostly visitation. Sitting Ball is thus identified as really the simonpure, long-danced-for Messiah, "busted" in rlesh, but healthy in spirit, and he was beckoning them on to join his followers and avenge his spirit. A ghost dance is the consequence, and the spirit has moved down tbe river, and, according to Hetlnud, it has atlected them aa far down as Willow creek. . SU1I RENDER OF HOSTILE INDIANS. Hlg Foot, Damp and Other Return to the Agency Movements of Troops. Rxnr Citt, S. D., Dee. 20. General Miles has received advices from General Brooke that five hundred friendly Indians left Pine Eidge yesterday to attempt to bring in the hostiles. Dispatches from Lieutenant-colonel Drum, at Fort Yates, announce that the Indians there are quiet. Thirty-nine of Sitting Bull's Indians, who left the agency on Monday, have sent in -word that they will return. General Carr has thrown out a cavalry force to intercept the band now reported moving across the reservation to the Bad Lands. If the force fails to intercept them they will be pursued and arrested. General Miles says that no advance would he made until the result of the Pine Kidge embassy is known. Big Foot and Hump have surrendered find returned to the agency. No Indians, except the band mentioned, are now going to the hostiles. General Miles discredits the report of a large band of Indians in the vicinity of Camp Crook, on the Little Missouri river. No further engagements are reported from the lower ranches. The government herd has been located on Alkali creek, and a force of twenty men left here to-day to round it up. Two companies of the Seventeenth Infantry, from Fort KusselL arrived here this afternoon. Forty Cheyenne Indian scoots, from Pine Ridge, started for the Cheyenne river camp this morning. The available forctt along the Cheyenne, under General Carr, is about 1,500. Sitting; null Death Annoonced to tbelndlani. Chicago, Dec. 2a General Brooke to-day telegraphed from 11 ne Ridge agency to Assistant Adjutant-peneral Corbln that he had purposely announced to the Indians In council the leath of Sitting . Bull, giving them tbe iacta in detail, withholding nothing. This tfc General did that ho might note the effect of tho startling information upon tbem. The Indians receired the news qnletly. They all recog--sized tLe justice of bitting Bull's death, and said ttntlt was a good thing that he thus met his fate. Concerning the death of .Sitting Bull Colonel Corbln said: It was not a murder or anything liko it. General Miles's dispatch some days ago showed conclusively that he had ordered the arreat of Sitting Bull just in the nick of time. Another hour and he would have decamped to the Bad Lands with hU hostile followers. Ills death was but a result of the conflict betweeu the troops and his braves Obviously m Falsehood. Oklattoma Citt, Deo. 20. There is no truth in the report that 1,000 Kicfcapoos are engaged In a ghost dance in Indian Territory. There are only 300 Klckapoos, all told, and they are on their reservation engaged In their usual peaceful pur.v.iit3. Ghost-dancing by other tribes Is almost stopped, and no alarm is felt. SHERMAN AND THE INDIANS. The Old General Thinks the Army Should Control Them Their Wealth In Land. New York, Dec 20. The 270th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims was celebrated here to-night in a royal manner at the eleventh annual dinner of tne New England Society of Brooklyn. The first toast of the evening, "The Presi dent of , the United States'' was drunk. MA Cordial Greeting to General Sherman" was next on the programme, and the old hero arose. When the applause had quieted down General Sherman spoke. After a brief reference to the day cele brated, he referred to the inhabitants who lirst erected the Pilgrims when they landed on these shores the Indians. "No richer people exist on the face of the globe to-day than the Indians in the matter of land" said the General. "They have enough to allow each Indian man, woman and child a whole section. But somehow they don't seem to get along." He then spoke of his experience among the Indians, and said that he thought the present troubles creatly exaggerated. lie advocat ed giving tbe entire control ot the Indians to the army. If this was done there would be no Indian outbreaks. The Indian must either starve or work. The government bad been most liberal with tbe Indians, but they had not improved their condition at all during tbe last twenty-hve years under this treatment. Ker. II. 1. Collis. Hon. Wm. P. C.

WANT A SLICE OP CHICAGO. Teiana Who Claim to Be the Rightfnl Owners of a Large Portion of the City. 8an Antonio', Tex., Dec. 20. A very important legal case has connb to light in this city, in which the right and title to a large portion of the city of Chicago, in thb vicinity of Hennepin Park, is questioned and claimed by heirs in Texas. Robert L. Summerlin, an attorney in this city, has worked up the case, and has fixe'd upon tbe heirs to the property as follows: Bruno and Horatio Durst, of Leon county; John Durst, of Tyler; J. W. Blake and Hattie Moss, of Limeston county; John D. Durst, of Kimball county; Simon and Ella Bateman, of Leon county; J. A. and Louis II. Odkms. of Dallas county, and James 1. Iron. Thn history dates back to the time when tbe Pottowatatnie Indians owned the present site of Chicago. A Colonel Holiday, stationed at FortDearborn, married an old chiefs daughter who wns possessed of much of this land. This Indian wiTe survived long enough to will tho property to a granddaughter, wife of Col. N. Guinsette, a prominent banker of Corpus Christi. This heir died in 1864 without issue. This property has been in the hands of attorneys, who, during the late war, tangle'd the claim of titles and sold the property for taxes. Recently, however, Attorney Summerlin learned of another branch of the family, and has located the heirs as above. The chain of evidence is perfect, and already attorneys in Chicago have been heard from who are

willing to compromise liberally for clients. Mr. Summerlin is armed with full power of attorney from every heir and he will leave Dec. 25, for Chicago, to push the claim of his clients. The property is very valuable and will approach nearly 20.000.000. The story is quite romantic in its de tails, and it has taken more than a years work to complete the chain of evidence.

Daugme. a gentleman who has traveled extensively throughout Mexico. was telling a uuartet of his friends in the rotunda of the Palmer House, yesterday, some of his experiences in the land of the burro and sweet banana. "Lecturers come to Chicago to tell you of the Ober-Ammer-gau Passion Play," safd the Colonel, "but 1 have seen a crucifixion at Magdalena. state of Sonora. which, for dra matic intensity, surpasses anything the peasants of Uber-Ammergau have ever given to the world. Last spring I was in Magdalena. It happened to be during Holy week. One morning; Colonel .Moore, of Cin cinnati, asked me to go and see the crucifixion. Wo went to the Church of San Francisco, where th6 services were con ducted. It was 10 o'clock when wo reached the piace. With great difficulty wo man aged to get inside. There were neither benches nor chairs, but the place was jammed. Every available inch of space on the flagging lioor of the church was crowded with the faithful in kneeling atti tudes, prostrate, praying, moaning and bewailing as only Me:cican pious and halfbreed Indians' can. The altar was in the center of the church at the rear. A large wooder cross stood up prominent right be hind it. On ono side of the altar was a curtain of red plush and near it a large arm-chair. Soon after we entered the padre. a fat old fellow, sleek and shiny, came forwarland began the services. Then a youth mounted the altar. He was a fair, auburnhaired young man, I should say twentytwo or twentv-four years old. That was the Christ. From this time on the rep resentation of tho crucifixion was given faithfully and with such intense realism that for days afterward I could not shake the picture oli' my mind. There came Christ's accusers. Jews, etc. They snubbed tho Christ, belabored him, spat- on hira. flogged him. and gradually drove him from the altar. A few moments later they reappeared with him. This time they were carrying a limp form. Hopes were procured. These they fastened under his arm pits and around his shoulders. At a signal from tho padre the rope was thrown over tho cross and' the limp body drawn Tip. Then two of the persecuting Jews pro cn red a ladder, which they set against the cross, got hammers and nailo, stretched the limp arms on each side of tbe cross, and actually drove the nuils through tbe palms of the hands and tbe insteps of' tbe feet. I could scarce believe my eyes.- The people in the church were bemoaning and bewailing aloud as if their hearts were breaking. Convulsive sobs and outcries filled that buildiug. The priest went on with the sei vices, however, as though it was a most ordinary atlair. I cannot tell vou U8t how long these proceeding lasted." When We left we had been in the church nearly five hours. At the proper time an individual dressed as a Koman soldier approached, lance in hand. the crucified bgure. Deliberately he raised tbe lance and pierced the side of tho cruci fied. A stream of blood gushed out and flowed all over the bared breast. And then the church seemed to grow dark, and in a few moments it was impossible almost to recognize anything in the room. When the light returned tbe body had been removed from the cross. A woman was also sitting in the arm-chairnext the curtain, whijh till that t.nie bad been empty. She was dressed like a madonna and evidently was intended to represent Mary, the mother of Christ. Y hi lei stood thus looking the Koman soldiers again reappeared. This time they carried the limp form of the crucified. Thev went directly to the madonna and laid the bleeding Christ in her arms. Yon should have heard the sobbing which broke forth from that vast audience. It came all of a sudden and was tho .most heartrending cry I ever heard. Men, women and children sobbed aloud. Some hysterical women were actually tearing their hair, beating themselves and in various other ways showing their great grief. I thought I had then seen enough and we walked out.77 - . "Ia it possible that this young man was actually crucified?77 'I should have explained," replied the Colonel, "that the limp figure used in tbe crucifixion was a wax figure, but the poor devils never knew it. The delusion was complete and it is so artistically carried out that very few among the thousands who attend these services on Holy week ever find it out. Of course these services are never attended by- the higher classes, peons and Indians forming the bulk of the male audience. Hut I saw many women present who were evidently women of rank, and good standing, and intelligence. Their piety is so great, however, that they are perfectly blind to any such scheme. And the whole thing is so real, too. "Go to Magdalena during Holy week anv year and you will see what I have related to you.77 m m m Charges of an Escaped Nan. Detroit. Mich., Dec. 20. One of the Inmates of the House of the Good Shepherd here left the institution surreptitiously 6ome time ago. owing to a misunderstanding with the moth er superior. ine matter came to light to-day, when the truant nun was found at the residence of friends in this city. Bhe said, upon being quesUoned, that the reason she left was that the Institution was not run properly. The tasks set the sisters were too onerous, and in many instances Impossible to perform in the allotted time, under which circumstances the delinquent was whipped by a machine strap. In addition to this the food was extremely poor, everything they ate being, begged. One sister died from the effects of something she ate at the home some time ago. One girl died while she was being whipped. The Mother Superior of the institution denies the charges of the truant nun, and Bishop Foley says ho does not place any reliance in the story.
