...grassy rise overlooking an Indian ranch on South Dakota's Pine Ridge reservation last week, a cluster of Oglala Sioux mourners gathered to bury Joseph Bedell Stuntz, 23, an Indian killed two weeks ago in a Shootout with two FBI agents, who also lost their lives. The day before, FBI Director Clarence Kelley attended services in Southern California, where the two agents were buried with honors...

A possible motive for the shootout was found. Some 300 yds. behind the cluster of houses where the shooting took place, Indians had stashed an impressive store of weapons and explosives.

Some of the 6,000 vehicles are arrayed in neat rows that seem to curve off to the horizon; others swarm and cluster like a plague of monstrous locusts. Spread over 2,500 acres is an air armada that seems big enough to start World War III or, judging by the vintage of some of the craft, to replay World War II or any lesser conflict of the intervening years. Phalanxes of helicopters, their...
