The Messiah Craio Hreaks Out Anew Among the t'heyeniies. Four I'.eno, I. T., Dee. 81. Tlie Messiah eraze 1ms broken out afresh among the Cheycnnes and Anipahoes, and no little anxiety is felt. While it is quiet enough near the reservation buildings, dancing has been going on among the liills fur several days and the era.e is apparently spreading. The leaders are Whirlwind and Old Crow of the Cheycnnes, and Left Hand, hoad chief of tho Arapahocs. At tirst tlie gathering was small, but. the Indians have been streaming Into camp until now there are from loot) to pres. eut. They declare that the Messiah who Is to expel tho w hites, bring back the buffalo, and restore, the hunting grouuds, is soon coming, and the "i;host dance" will be kept up day and night until lie arrives. Runners have come in from Walker's Lake, Nevada, Inciting the Indians to activity and predict-ing theoany appearnneo of the Messiah. The ghost dauco goes on day and night, the Indians being divided into relays, one party relieving the other as faiigue over-comes them. All are provided with ghost spirits and seem terribly in earnest. Seoul report that wild w boons can be heard at all hours, day and night, from the bills where the tribes are gathered. As yet tho excite-ment has not reached the. Coiiiunchcs, but it is feared that they, too, may become in-volved. This is regarded as a serious dun. ger, as the Conian.'hcs have an ample sup-ply of ponies, in which the Cheycnnes and Arrapahiics are dcllelent. All are well armed with Winchesters and revolvers. Of. tleers experienced in Indian warfare are not inclined to believe that any serious outbreak will occur at present, as tlie Indians have a horror of a winter campaign, but the excite-ment may cause them to depart from their ufual practice.
