With the captured horse in tow
they took their own horses and
led them slowly back into the
herd. Once among them, Red
Bird gave the extra horse to
Tom, while he started on a new
mission.
Walking as close as possible to
his horse Red Bird put him be-
tween himself and the first one
Of the herd that he could get
close enough to catch. Reaching
over his mounts neck, he threw
the loop of his rope over the neck
Of the other. Examining the horse
he decided that the horse of the
vanquished night herder was the
better Of the two, so he would
take that one for another pur-
pose. He took the horses head,
got in a good position, and with
one slash, cut the horses throat.
After the dying horse lay still,
Red Bird took away the skin from
one hind thigh, cut off all the
meat he could get in one big
piece and whispered to Tom, I'VE

As the wind was in the south
west, they went to the north, in
order to enter the camp against
the wind. Within half a mile of
camp they stopped and picketed
their horses. Then they talked
in whispered tones.

one more man." said Red Bird,

Red Bird took the meat and

Relieved of the first victim,

could hear another breather.
Very slowly, knife in hand, he
made his way in the sounds di-
rection. Being very close now,
he used every precaution. On his
hands and knees with one hand
feeling lightly for the source of
the breathing, Red Birds hand
came in contact with a mans
head as he awoke and started to
rise. Instantly, Red Bird went
into action. Grabbing the head
with one hand and delivering a
powerful blow with the other,
he brought his sharp knife into
the mans chest as high as he
dared to take a chance. The
victim uttered a faint cry, but
soon was quiet under the weight
of Red Bird. Satisfied that the

was.
Outside, several dogs were
growing and fighting over the
meat which Tom was throwing
to them. Except for this, and the
expiring cry of Red Birds last
prey, all was quiet so far. But
Red Bird knew well, how quick
ly all of this might change.
Red Bird soon found the one
he had expected to, and at once
threw his body on him. He felt
sure that it was Grover, but he
dared not take any chances. He
whispered to him and finding
that it was the right man he felt
for his hands, in order to cut the
bindings. At the same time he
did this, he asked his chief, "How

At ten o'clock Harper, who had
been riding advance scout, saw
the three and made appearance;
They told their story and in re-
turn were given the good news
that the command was a few
miles down the Arikaree. Harp
er rode back with them to see

After the two parties had con-

shoot it out, not to ambush, but
to give them half a fighting

The hour was after midnight
when Red Bird said, MY Almost
Brother, 1t is time, We must CO."
Tom left his hat and boots tied
to his horse and was wearing
Red Birds moccasins. However,
Red Bird had another pair in his
war sack, which he had tied to
his saddle. For weapons Tom car
ried his As Colts and one Bowie
Knife. His Indian partner had
his two knives. Their rifles hung
in place on the horses. They
walked straight for the middle of
camp but travelled very quietly.
Red Bird was in the lead. They
had passed the first lodge when
a dog let out a bark, and came
toward them from the east Red
Bird quickly threw him a piece
of the meat. The dog grabbed II
and ran. The Indian scout led
the way as fast as he deemed
safe under the circumstances and
the two were soon near the lodge
where Red Bird knew their
friend, Grover, was very apt to
be.
Red Bird knew that the pris-
oner would be near the rear,
and at least one guard would be
near the front of the lodge. He
threw several pieces of meat in
as many different directions, then
dropped on all tours and crawl
ed around the lodge, nearing the
front. He listened long, and final
ly was convinced that all inside
were asleep. Edging over nearer
to the lodge, he felt the side OF
the structure and found that II

falo skin. He worked fast for he
knew the swifter the job was &C
complished, the better chances
they had of success. Running his
hand up the side of the lodge for
a foot or a trifle more, where he
knew the inner lining would
come, he inserted the point of his
razor sharp knife into, and thru
the sidewall. Listening an in

The three scouts headed east,

Tom jerked off his own mecca

also his buckskin pants. Tom was
then dressed in long underwear

The three were feeling a little
safer as Yellow Moons boys
could do not tracking until day
light, and they felt sure that Col
onel Fordice's command would
be headed up the Arikaree by
earliest morning, as this was the
third day since Growers depar

they made their way toward the

steps at a time until they were

he could tell where the herder

not be hidden from Red Bird
any more than from any other
prairie inhabitant, when his med

uncanny things had earned Red
Bird the distinction of being the
best Indian tracker and scout in
all the service. As Cody once
told Sheridan, That Indian can
smell a person a nile away"
How Red Bird knew where the
herder was, Tom certainly could
not tell. He had turned and led
his horse close to Tom. Taking
Toms hand he signalled that he
had found the herder and that

TiIImans Stations Win Caribbean And Hawaii Trips

Two local businessmen have
won vacation trips to glamorous
places.
They are Joe Tillman of Till
mans TV & Music and Arthur II.
Station of the Western Auto.
Mr.. Tillman has won trip to
Hawaii and will leave Wednesday.
Mrs. Tillman will also make the
trip with him.
The Tillmans will spend one
night in Las Vegas and then will
fly to Hawaii.
His trip is a result of contest
among dealers conducted by the
manufacturers of Gibson air con-
ditionerS.
Mr.. Station, owner-manager of
Western Auto here, has been
awarded one weeks cruise a.
round the Caribbean. Mrs. Station
will make the trip with him.
They will leave here on Oct. "a
and be gone for a week.
Their trip is a result of an in
crease in the percentage of pur-
chaSeS from Western Auto from
last year.

Flu Shots Are
Advised For Over
as Age Group

State Medical Society officials
suggested today that persons who
are in what is termed the "suscep-
tible population" arrange immed-
lately to be vaccinated against in
fluenZa.
The susceptible population" is
considered to include all persons
over As and persons of all ages
who suffer from chronic debilitat-
ing diseases. 1t is also recommend
ed for pregnant women.
John R. Kernodle, MD, of Bur
lington, President of the Medical
Society of the State Of North Caro-
lima, said the suggestion was based
on recommendation from the Pub
lie Health Service and the Ameri-
can Medical Association, because
of an expected wave of Asian flu
this winter.
at is suggested that persons in
the susceptible groups consult
their own physician without delay

It's what is under the hood that
counts with some $4,000 teen-agers
enrolled in the National All Auto
motive program.
They contend that it is necessary
to know what makes the wheels
go round in order to intelligently
drive a car They also learn to
recognize the danger that lies in
misuse of the tremendous force
of horsepower which is literally
controlled by a mere twist Of the
wrist or touch of the toe.
The All automotive project has
gained momentum in the two
short years of its existence since
Firestone Tire and Rubber Co.
started sponsoring the project.
During a 12-month period nearly
1000 counties conducted training
meetings for automotive project
leaders.
State police, traffic engineers,
automobile dealers, insurance
representatives, editors and other
resource persons have participa-
ted in local meetings. The boys
and girls themselves give talks and
demonstrations as part of their
project work to point up engine
performance, safe operation or
proper care of cars and trucks.
1t has been pointed out by those
who work with this much needed
educational program that not only
do Alters benefit by participat-
ing, but also their parents and
often the entire community.
There is no way to measure at
the present time the programs
effectiveness in lowering motor
vehicle accident statistics. How
ever, with increased participation
by both adults and teen-agers, the
end results are bound to lessen
fatalities and property damage
which now cost the American pub
lie nearly 81 billion annually.
