LARAMIE, Wyo.

(UPI) -Actor John Wayne didn't need his six shooters Thursday to ward off an Indian raid on the "Golden Spike" Iron Horse. He just kept his guns holstered and belted out a rendition of "The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi." About a dozen Indians from Cody, staged the raid as the train pulled into the Laramie station. The train is headed to Promontory Point, Utah, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the linking of the first transcontinental railway. The Indians, who had planned a victory dance even before Ihe raid, apparently didn't count on Wayne to fight them off with a song. They yelled and danced, he sang the old college fraternity song and they all decided to call things off.

Wayne reboarded the train, along with Sen. Frank E. Moss, D-Utah, and members of the High Iron Club of New York chipped in $1,000 apiece for the ride and it headed tu Utah as the sun sank in the West.
