Sioux occupying tha northern atrip of the
great reaarvaUon. Tha winter of DOo-tl
tha post was garrlBoned by two troops
of tha Eighth cavalry and three oompanies
of tha Twelfth infantry, commanded by
LJeu tenant-Colonel Drum In all about 276
men, women and children. At the agency
the whites ntumbered only eighteen or
twenty, wlill the dloux aggregated' six
thousand. The Indians had been peaceable
for several yeara
In tha early fall of 189u a strange rumor
spread through the Bloux nation, telling
of the coming of the red messlah. L4ttle
more than a whisper at first. It gradually
gained credence and assumed startling pro
portions, resulting in the demoralisation
of the Indians.
The origin of the red messlah la inter
esting. Some time previous to the year
1KW the Idea had become prevalent among
the Indians In the northwest, even those of
the far northwest, the Nei Perces of
Idaho, that the advent of an Indian mea
rlah waa at hand. At Fort Yates waa a
woman of perhaps thirty years at that
time, who waa known aa the mother of
the messlah. It waa expected by tha
Indiana that sha would give birth to tha
red messlah. The red messlah was ex-
pMetttd to drive from American soil the
hated whites, bring back the buffalo to
their accustomed haunts, and restore to
their pristine power tha mighty Sioux.
In the lata fall of ISM this woman gave
birth to a boy child, and tha Indiana im
mediately took up the belief that he was
tha messlah who waa to lead them Into
their own.
Who should be one of the first to pretend
to accept tula belief but Bitting BulL In
the messlah erase he saw his opportunity.
He had nursed his hatred of tha whits
man and here waa the vlianca for revenge.
All the neighboring tribes were aflame
with th idea of a messlah come to restore
theui to their native poaKeHxiona, and he
frit that they would quickly respond to
tha war cry. Hut to make aura he aat
about to exi-lts tha ftensy of the Sioux to
a aUU greater p.tch. lie believed that
when their blood waa once hot enough,
the freniy would spread to other tribes
of distant states and bring aiJt a gath
ering of tha nations widen would aweep
tha white man from the pralrtea Could

be an open winter, and, fortunately for

arrangements were made between Colonel
Drum and Agent McLaughlin to attempt
the arrest at daylight the next morning
December IB. The arrest waa to be made
by the Indian police, assisted. If necessary,
by a detachment of troops, who were to
follow within supporting distance. There
were already twenty-eight police, under
command of Lieutenant Bull Head, In the
immediate vicinity Of Hitting Bull's camp,
ami couriers were at once dispatched to
these and to others In that direction to
concentrate at Bitting Bull a cabin, ready
to make the arrest In the mornlpg. It
was then sundown, but, with loyal prompt
ness, the police mounted their ponies,
and by riding all night from one station
to another, assembled before daylight a
force o( forty-three trained and determined
Indian policemen at the rendezvous on
Giacd liver. In the meantime, members
of Troops F and O of the Eighth cavalry,
numbering 100 men, under command of
Captain K. O. Fechet, and having with
thtm a llotchklss breech-loading steel rifle
and a gatllng gun, left Fort Tatea at mid
night, guided by a celebrated scout, Douls
Frlmeau, and, by a rapid night march,
arrived within supporting distance before
daybreak near Bitting Bull's camp.
Jut as the sun was breaking through
the purple barrier of the eastern horison,
on the morning of December 15, U30, the
police, forty-three in number, under com
mand of Dleutenant Bull Head cool, in
trepid, and reliable surrounded Bitting
Bull's shack. Bull Head and Bad Toma
hawk entered the cabin and found the
famous medicine man asleep on the floor.
He was aroused and Informed that he waa
a prisoner and must go to the agency.
He made no objection. He then aent one
of his wivea tor some clothes and asked
to have his favorite horse saddled, which
was done by one of tha police. But while
dressing be apparently changed his mind,
and began abusing tha police for disturb
ing him.
Hand to Hand straggle.
While this waa going on inside, Sitting
Bull's followera, to the numberof IbO, were
congregating about the house outaMe, and
by the time he waa dressed au excited
crowd of Indiana had the police entirely
surrounded. On being brought out. Blitlig
Bull became greatly excited and refused
to go to the agency, and called on his
followers to rescue him. Lieutenant Bull
Head and Sergeant rJhave Head were
standing on either side of him, wltu eo
ond Bergeant I ted Tomahawk guarding be

and killed by Alone Man, one of tha
police, and then followed a desperate hand-to-band
fight of forty men against nearly
four timea their number. The disciplined
police aoon drove the ghost dancers Into
the timber near by, returned and carried
their dead and wounded Into the cabin,
and held It for two hours, until the arrival
of Captain Fechet. Tha troops had been
notified of tho perilous situation of tho
police by Hawk Man, a noted Indian scout
who had volunteered to carry the Informa
tion from Bitting Bull's camp. He sue
ceeded in getting away, although so closely
pursued that several bullets passed
through hie clothing.
Short but ItrloM,
When tha cavalry came In sight over a.
hill, about 1.600 yards distant from tho
camp, tha police In tha corral raised a
white flag to show where they were, but
the troops, mistaking them for hosUles,
fired two sheila at them from the Uotoh
klbs, when Bergeant Ked Tomahawk, who
had taken command after tna wounding
of his superior ofdoer, paraded his men In
line and then rode alone with a white
flag to meet the troops. On tho approach
of tha soldiers, Bluing Bull's warrior
scuttled over tha prairie toward Cherry
creek and Cheyeiuie river. Captain Fechet
Old not pursue them.
Tha fight at the cabin waa short, but
serious. Blx policemen were killed, includ
ing the offloaia Bull Head and Bhava Head.
The hosiiiea lost eight killed, including
Bitting Bull and hla son Crow Foot, seven
teen years old, and three mortally
wounded. In the fight tha Indian woman
of Bitting II aire family attacked the po
lice with knives and dubs, but, notwith
standing the excitement, Lho police simply
aisarmed them and put them In tha bouse
under guard.
Thua died Tata-nka-Iyota-nke, Bitting
Bull, tha greatest medlolna man of tho
Bloux.
General Miles, who knew him wall, has
said:
"Hla traglo fata waa but the and of a.
tragic life. Sinoe tha days of Pontiae,
Teuumseh and Ked Jacket, no Indian has
had tha power of attracting to him so
targe a following of his race and of mold
ing and wielding It against the white race,
and civilisation."
The body of tha red prophet who had
made his last medicine waa burled dome
