Three times a day they had all

Just before the wagon train
reached Fort Laramie. Wyoming.
a hostile band of Sioux warriors
came upon Tim who was two
miles from the train. There were
IL in the band. Tim was dressing
two antelope he had just killed
when the Sioux came riding from
around q small rise in the ter

they were about two hundred

well mounted and riding hard.
Tins first thought was to make
a run for It but on second thought
he changed his mind. The reason
for the change was his mount.
The horse he had and usually
used for hunting was heavy and
strong, but q very poor runner.
His reason for using that kind
Of horse was quite obvious. the
animal could carry heavy loads
of meat.
Tim ran to his horse. reached
quickly under the horses belly
and picked up the animals oppo-

himself against the horse at the

able to throw the horse on his

on the horses head at once in

horse struggled trying to gain his

was lying on his right side. and

grabbed the rifle. BY this time
the Indians were closing in on his
position. Tim pulled himself up
on the horses head and hooked
his leg over and under it. Thus.

Civil Rights Still
important Domestic
issue Robbie Suys

Joseph Robbie, Fifth District
DFL Congressional candidate, this
week said that the crisis over civil
rights remains one Of the most
important domestic issues before
the American people
Robbie said that What is need
ed in order to insure civil rights is
Congressional action to implement
the Supreme Court decision and
unrelenting enforcement Of that
decision by the executive branch
Of the government" Robbie added
that This can best be accOmp-
lished by electing more liberal
northern Democrats to Congress. "
He said that Congress has been
controlled since 1912 by a coali-
ton Of southern Democrats and
Dixiecrats with northern Repub-
licans. Under this unholy alliance,
the northern Republicans obtain
the southern vote on economic is
sues in return for cooperating
with the southerners to defeat
needed civil rights legislation"
Robbie concluded that a major
ity Of northern liberal Democrats
in Congress will not only insure
better civil rights legislation but
will improve the standard Of hv-
ing and the economic lot Of all
people Of every race, color or creed.
Robbie's position on congress
sional action on civil rights is sim
liar to the editorial stand recently
taken by the Minneapolis TRIB-
UNE which said: when Congress
next convenes, it should join with
the President in an earnest search
for some effective program Of de-
segregation which will narrow
rather than widen, the great gulf
of national disunity which the in
tegration issue has created"
