GROESBECK No less heroic than the great drive of the railroad west across the continent was the struggle of the Indians to block its coming. Their efforts proved futile. Tragically they saw their free life on the plains and mountains coming to an end. Yet they fought to hold their birthright their bison, their earth, their sky. The old West of the pioneers, of Jim Bridger, of Peter Skene Ogden, of Etienne Provost, had disappeared previously. The Indian and Mountain Men rendezvous were already legend. The old order of things had ended. There . was no return. Never again would the Indians have the free life of the plains and mountains. Affairs at Promontory had ended all that, just as the railroad has wrought other changes. Wanton Slaughter Yet buffalo for awhile continued to roam the plains, targets for whites who slaughtered them needlessly or shot them for food for the railroad workers. Indians watched, as English lords went after their antelope, killing just for the pleasure of the kill. Watched, as white hunters shot from the steam-ca- rs in Kansas and Nebraska frontier days upon upon the vast waving mass of bison along the prairie tracks, "the fire from 200 guns blasting in their midst," leaving the rich buffalo meat of the Indians to rot on the plains. Employment Ill II vi Juab Indians The Provo Employment Sec- Office has received ap- urity proval for a training project under the Manpower Training end Development Act for the Goshute Indian Tribe. This project to train the Indians resid ing in the northwest corner of Juab County is scheduled to begin Jan. 5, according to Le- Rue Thurston, Provo Employment Security office manager. The Department of Agricultural Education at Utah State University will conduct the training. Dr. Von H. Jarrett is sinervisor of the training for th university. Blair Guymon, Manpower Trainine Unit Supervisor, is the Droiect coordinator for the Pfvo Employment Security Office. He has been responsible for developing the training pro posal and selection or the train ees for the project. Twenty per sons ranging in age from 16 to 60 and having an average education of six h grade will participate in the program at Gosh ute. The program will operate for a period of 25 weeks ac- - True, the Indians fought back, at times setting prairie fires to block the "iron horse" that was bringing the whites to kill the buffalo and build nomes on tneir land. At other times, the Sioux and Cheyenne, especially, form ed war parties for attacks. Yet, in actual record, massed and oganized atacks were rare on the "iron horse," on the railroad workers, on the "tres passers" riding the cars. Usually such war parties met with disastrous results for the the redskins power of the steam locomotive they tried to ride down. Engine crews, who alrays went heavily armed, could generally fin ish what ffie "iron norse- coma not do. On one occasion, at least, the olaics Indians managed to des troy their hated enemy. That was in Nebraska, Aug. 6, 1867, before the rails met at Promon under-estimate- d tory- - .

Reaches Scene About 9 p.m. the men noticed a small fire near the track ahead of them. Then, almost before they could collect their wits, the handcar jumped the track, spilling its occupants in simulevery direction. Almost taneously with the wreck, yelling, whooping Indians rushed from their hiding place in the underbrush, their guns barking and their tomahawks striking. Though the seven whites tried to escape the onslaught, the circling Indians blocked their way. They hacked one of the men to pieces. A second was shot in the hip, but he managed to get away in the darkness. A third, the telegraph operator, . r Theater One of the I movies - jjj GRANTS INFANT SUPER 12 William m $ - - ' i of the SIX GENERATIONS hi mm Averett family have lived In tills home In the 110 years since it N, Springville, has beta vnlaryed and The home, located at 213 E. 1st was built in 1860. several times in its remodeled SALE 1.44 Six Generations of Family Occupies House in Springville for 110 Years By JOSEPHINE ZIMMERMAN When someSPRINGVILLE one suggested selling the old Averett house, family members protested.

In the meantime, a locomotive with freight cars came chugging along. Suddenly it hit the raised rails and bowled over. The cars piled up, killing the fireman and critically in juring the engineer. The two brakemen vanished, but appeared the next day. The con ductor, aware that anotner train was following, raced down the track to bring it to a halt. With the conductor aboard, the second train backed to Plum Creek for help. By that time the four workers wh' had escaped the Indians had reached safety there. When the Union Pacific sent for help, a company of infan try was ordered out from Omaha. Before it arrived, some railroad men and settlers, al1 heavily armed, boarded a train the next morning ana neaaea for the ambush area.

Far away by then, the Cheyennes made a great celebration. They had tied bolts of colored cloth to their horses' tails and had drunk whiskey salvaged from tiie train. With a spy glass the railroad men could see them riding their horses road'y around, whooping it up. This was a victory dance for the Cheyennes of the plains, one defeat to their credit They had killed an "iron horse". 3 Sunday Herald WTO f one-pag- ThiS r ,r - If JANUARY 4, SUNDAYS 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. w |
