I I I I I I I I Great Falls Tribune Wednesday, Sept. 4, 1968 Blackfeet Indian Asks $125.000 Cut Bank Sued in Civil Rights Case Jack After Buffalo, Browning, has charged the city of Cut Bank with depriving him of his civil rights in a $125,000 damage action filed in Great Falls federal court Tuesday. The member of the Blackfeet Nation charges 10 specific violations of his civil rights during the 1967 arrest. During the course of his arrest, After Buffalo claims, he sustained a comminuted fracture of the right hip. Such a fracture is one in which the bone is splintered or crushed into numerous piece.

Admitting After Buffalo was being taken into custody when under the influence of alcoholic beverages, the suit accuses Acting Chief of Police Jim Manley and an unidentified aide of deliberately depriving the Indian of his civil rights. After Buffalo also charges during his period of incarceration he never was charged with a crime or taken before a magistrate to enter a plea. The action, filed by Great Falls attorney R. V. Bottomly, says After Buffalo stopped in Cut Bank en route to Browning on a convalescent leave from Loy School Damaged by Vandalism Vandals, in an unsuccesful effort to postpone the beginning of school for at least another day, smashed a window in the door of the Loy School, 5600 4th Ave.

N. and did an amount of damage inside. Cascade County Sheriff's officers said fire extinguishers were discharged on the walls and ceilings, eggs were taken from the cooler and smashed, desks were rifled and paper and broken pop bottles strewn throughout the building. Vandals also hit the Zook Brothers Construction lot, north of Great Falls, breaking down a fence and smashing the windows of two of the company's trucks. Ray Zook, from the construction company, said a guard i is on duty at night, so he assumes the incident probably occurred Sunday or Monday during the day.
