A Pioneer Incident Amid Indian Raid and Stock Car Fire
In a western Nebraska night, Bankers and two women hide in a stock car as Sioux warriors burn a cottage and raid the railway station. A Pawnee scout warns, the station agent defends with pistol and rifles, while a man in the car administers paregoric to a crying baby to keep it quiet. The siege ends with gunfire, a toppled Sioux and a tense, shaken group awaiting dawn.
