Show O A WHITE BUFFALO ' i HAS THE SOUL OF SITTING BULL RETURNED TO EARTH? Cowonjrt See tha Indian Mciilah Sign At Sunrl N.r I.aranii I'k The lllann Wi Accompanied by Milk Whit. .lack Kabblt. A coincidence that is remarkable enough to excite the interest of the pale f face at the same time that it appeals to j the superstition of the Messiah crazed I red man, says the Laramie Republican, comes on the heels of the news of the death of Sitting Hull and liis son, aged 12, at the hands of the Indian police, at his camp forty miles from Fort Yates, 1 North Dakota. As is generally known, the dead chief believed that it made no difference i whether he and his family or followers were killed or not,' as they would lie resurrected and return to earth ; with the Messiah in a very short time. One of the signs of tho coming of the latter was to lie the return of tho buffalo, which were to come up out of the center of the earth through hidden entrances in tho niouti- j tains, and to be led by a white bulYalo, ! tho avant courier of the Messiah. Sit- j ting Hull mid his son were s uin on : Monday, and now comes the news that yestoniay morning there were seen at sunrise, on the plains near Laramie I peak, a snow-white bull bison and a milk-white jaekrabhit, at which a lurid : of cowboys tired several shots without . harm to the two animals. The report comes in a letter from lion. William Taylor of Hock Creek, S: who says the remarkable sight was : witnessed in a rugged and precipitous ! delile close to the old Aztec tunnels in ! the foothills which form tho approach ! to the peak, and which are seventeen miles from Keck Creek station. The s news of tho battle near Fort Yates and 1 the death of the celebrated chief and i his son, was published in yesterday morning's papers at the t-t ite capital, j These papers did not reach Laramie j until 10 a. m., and could not have ! reached Kock Creek before noon, so j that the tragic death of the troublesome i warrior could not possibly have been j known when the letter was written. |
