Sioux uprising fears prompt Ft Sidney move to South Dakota
The Ft. Sidney regiment received orders Sunday to depart for the Sioux Indian reservation in South Dakota to quell a possible uprising. They entrained in command of Col. Poland with Major Boyle second in command, the train leaving at nine. A religious craze grips the northwest tribe as the Spirit Dance spreads, sparked by Sitting Bull who urges peaceful conduct and asserts Christ will move whites offshore. Kinch McKinney, a noted cattle thief, was captured at Gering. K P officers were elected: Miles C C, Theoleeke V C, Adams prelate, Borgquist M of F and K R and 8, Ickes M of E, Gutfreund master of arms, Vanderhoof M H, Tobin and Oberfelder trustees. D W White of Camp Clark visited Sidney for a daily route petition between Sidney and the bridge.
