Eliza's ambition and her love

hope her effortswill someday
make us proud of her. Thank

Driver robbed on highway
James Wolfe, Kah-Nee-Ta
bus driver reported to the
W arm S p r in g s P o lic e
Departm ent that he was
robbed of nearly $800 in an
armed robbery near mile post
108 on highway 26 on August
25. Wolfe told investigators he
was returning to Warm Springs
following a trip to Madras
where he had cashed his
paycheck and the paychecks,
of two other Kah-Nee-Ta
employees. Wolfe said he
noticed a woman along side the
roadf waving a gas can and he
stopped to see it he could be of
assistance. According to police
r e p o r t s , tw o fa ma lie s
approached the van and said
they had run out of gas. A male,
holding a gun, approached
Wolfe and demanded Wolfe
turn over all the money in his
possession.
After taking the money, the
man removed the keys from the
Kah-N ee-Ta bus and he
instructed Wolfe to remain in
the vehicle. The three robbers
left the area in a red and black
1969 or 1970 Ford LTD

There was this doctor who just compelted the examination of his
patient and said, “I can’t seem to find what’s causing the problem.
Frankly I think it’s due to too much drinking he said. The patient,
“Well doc. I’ll come back when your sober.” YIKES

There were these two drunks who came out of the bar and
staggered into the zoo. As they past the lions cage one of the lions
let out a big roar. “Let’s get out of here,” said one of the drunks.
“You go ahead,” said the more intoxicated one, “I’m going to stay
for the movie.” YIKES
heading west on highway 26.
Wolfe later hitched a ride to
Warm Springs to report the
incident. He told police the
three assailants were caucasion
and in their mid-twenties.
The robbery is still under
investigation by the Jefferson
County sheriffs department
and the Tribal investigators.
According to Jefferson County
deputy Ed Larsen, the law
enforcement agencies have
been unable to locate the car or
the suspects.
We need to stress the importance ofyour vote in the upcoming
adoption referendum. Not only will the rights of the adoptees be
at stake, but your rights, as eligible voters, will also be on the line.
It is the discretion of the Tribal Council when an adoption
referendum will be held. There is no set time for such a
referendum, only when the Council feelsan adoption is necessary.
The tribal Vital Statistics department is involved with an
adoption from the very beginning. When Council approaches
them about the number of applicants, Vital Stats is on the go until
the election.
,
For this referendum Vital Statistics has been working since
June, interviewing applicants, qualifying blood-degree records
and checking and double-checking all information. Once all
the information was verified, the names of the qualifying
applicants were given to us, here at Spilyay Tymoo, so that
photographs could be taken.
.
.
October 12 will culminate all the work that has gone into this
referendum. Again, we can not stress enough the importance ol
your vote, whether it be for or against. Fifty-percent of all voters,
aged 21 or married, are eligible to vote. If 50% of the voters do not
cast their ballots on October 12, the elections will be invalid.
On pages 5 through 8, photographs are shown of the 48 people
who have men all adoption requirements for the adoption
referendum on October. 12.
