Thanks, Mack. This is a historically well known confrontation. The Indians =
involved are Lumbees. That Klan, headed by Catfish Cole, was different than=
the later UKA -- but the same mentality. Best, Dad

Subject: Horde of Indians
Pop --
I just spent 90 minutes going through microfilm of the Lincoln Evening Jour=
nal from late 1957 and early 1958. Didn't find what I was looking for, but =
I found this story.
I say: Good for the Indians.
January 19, 1958
Headline: Indians Shoot Up Klan Gathering in Carolina
MAXTON, NC -- A horde of armed Indians, incensed at recent cross-burning in=
their area attributed to the Ku Klux Klan, broke up a Klan rally with gunf=
ire near here Saturday night.
The Indians, apparently well organized, fired shotguns, rifles and pistols =
for nearly half an hour before a squad of North Carolina Troopers arrives t=
o rescue the Klansmen.
The Klansmen, themselves armed with shotguns, apparently did not return fir=
e. Only four persons were known to have been wounded despite the firing of =
thousands of rounds of ammunition.
The troopers, arriving at a battleground completely in darkness, used tear =
gas to disperse the Indians, but many of them had already left before the p=
olice force arrives.
The riot climaxed a week of rumblings in Robeson Count, home to some 20,000=
Indians of the Lubee Tribe.Their people have lived in the area for centuri=
es.
The resentment of the Indians stemmed from two recent cross burnings in the=
county. One of them was burned in the driveway of a home at St. Pauls, rep=
ortedly as a warning to an Indian woman to stop dating a white man.
The second was burned at East Lumberton, where an Indian family moved into =
a white neighborhood.
