BEAR KILLED . WITH SMALL GUN

Twin Bridges, Mont-(UP)- Daniel Boone killed a bear with a hunting knife and achieved im- mortality in the mind of every American school boy, but Ed Shultz. a mighty huntsman of Twin Bridges, despatched a mother bear with single-shot, .22 caliber re- volver and in recognition received a few paragraphs in his home town newspaper.
 Shultz was wandering around in the Canyon creek country, which is located in the Beaverhead na- tional forest. when he came upon the bear and two cubs, and with that meeting began one of the. cias- sic additions to the repertoire of Montana hunting tales.
 Unlike most mighty hunters. Shultz was not armed with a trusty long rifle which played such a prominent part in the winning of protection was a little revolver.
 His first shot struck the mother bear. but did not infiict a fatal wound. He reloaded the gun. His second shot failed to kill. He again reloaded the midget pistol The beast. enraged by pain. started to obliterate her tormentor. but the third bullet bored Into her skull just between the eyes and she sank to the ground dead.
 Shultz then killed the two cubs with a club. because when he searched his pockets for more cart. ridges he found he had but one bullet left,

ANCIENT MONEY


 Ancient folk who minted money were not clever at rounding the coins. Truth to tell, most of their coins were extremely lopsided.
 Ancient Roman Coins
 The figures on the coins were not always well-made. If there really had been a goddess Athena and if she had looked at her face on some of the early coins issued at Athens, she might have turned several colors of the rainbow. Then she might have gone to get a hatchet-to use when she found the man who minted the coins.
 In later times the Athenians inn coins, and if the goddess had seen 1t she might not have minded her "looks' at all.
 Greeks who moved to the island of Sicily during early times, and started the colony of Syracuse minted coins which have long been famous for their beauty. In the year 413 B. C., a large silver coin about the size of a modern silver dollar-was put out at Syracuse This coin has been called "the finest which has ever been struck" On one side Is the head of a wo- man, standing for the nymph Arethusa. On the other side is a chariot drawn by four horses and driven by a woman.
 About 2,200 years ago, the Ro- mans minted bronze coins which in a rough fashion, were round Each bronze coin weighed IF ounces. On one side was an image of Janus, the two-faced god. On the other side was the brow of g Roman warship.
 How would you like to carry coins weighing more than half 6 pound apiece? If you were rich with such coins, you might decide to give some of them away before you carried them far.
 The Romans later cut down the weight of their bronze coins, and started to mint gold and silver coins.
 During years of the Roman empire. the portraits of emperori were placed on coins. While ar emperor was still alive. coins were issued upon which he could see hi. face.
 Brass and copper coins, as wei as those made of bronze, silver anC gold. were used by the Romans.

'Pcnrod and Sam," Also "Tabu' On Dual Feature Bill At
 Warmers Strand Tomorrow

Two deluxe features, Booth Tar kingdoms immortal "Penrod and Sam" and F. W. Murnaus 'Tabu." are included in the double feature bill which moves into Warmers Strand for three days starting to- morrow.
 Penrod is played by Leon Jan- ney, the regular" boy who won such success in Courage" with Belle Bennett: in "Old English" with George Arliss and in "The Doorway to He'll" with Lew Ayres. Penrods freckled pal Sam is portrayed with delightful roguishness by the no less famous boy-actor, Junior Coghlan-and there are a score of other rough neck. romping youngsters, not for getting. Duke the ill-fated and be- loved dog.
 An interesting fact about the canine in question is that the same dog who so wisely acts the part in the silent version, nine years ago acts the part in the present pie ture. The same director, William Beaudine, also was in charge. MT Beaudine, himself the father of a large brood of kiddies, has the in- teresting experience of directing his own daughter, as the rather domineering sister of Ben. Her man and Verman, the twin bud dies of the heroes are portrayed by two we'll known negro boy actors, Dandridge and Robinson. Interesting grown-ups, needful to the story as dads. mons, teachers, and what not--are played by Matt Moore. Dorothy Peterson. Zasu Pitts and others.
 "Tabu." love story of the South Seas took fourteen months to film. The cast Is made up of na- lives and Reri who plays the lead ing role is one of the most beau tiful women ever discovered in the enchanted south sea isles. It con- tains romance. adventure and dra- ma that touches the heart. Reri has been chosen as a virgin sacri- flee to the god of the island and so is "Tabu," (forbidden1 to all the male members of the tribe. She loves one "Matahi" and together they run away from the island. The thrill of the chase and the surprise ending add much to the charm and novelty of this excep- tional picture

TEXAS PLANNING TO DRILL UNDER
 RIVER FOR OIL
Rich Deposits Believed Beneath Stream in
 Southern State

Austin, Tex.-CUP)-On January 1 the state of Texas will join ma. jor and minor oil companies in re- covering from beneath the piney hills of East Texas part of the crude oil wealth discovered there.
 East Texas operations of the state oil company. with its 6,000.. 900 n-stockholders, will be re- stricted, however. to the stream bed of the Sabine river under the law enacted by the last special session of the Texas legislature.
 The Sabine river winds its way between leases of major companies in the large East Texas field for nearly 45 miles Although the state will not drill on the entire length of the bed, it expects to re- cover nearly $10.00O,0O0 believed to lie beneath the Sabine's sluggish waters.
 A drilling fund of $60.000 w!u be appropriated from the general revenue fund for the first two wells. should the mineral board created by the new law decide to drill.
 Three courses are opened to the board, composed of Governor Ross Sterling. the commissioner of the land office. and the chairman of the railroad commission. The board Is authorized to advertise for bids on leasing river beds in proven oil territory; for actual drilling of the stream beds: or the board may accept a purchase of the oil in place.
 The last avenue Is legal meth- cd to allow the state to deal with leaseholders on either side of the stream. They would pay the state for the oil beneath the river bed. then draw it out through wells situated on their own leases bor- dering the Sabine river. The river bed oil law allows such development on all streams in Texas, but restricts the mineral Jaw forbids the mineral board to drili e we'll more than two miles away from a paying producer.

Nothing to Fear
 From Russia
So Stated Frances Radzi- well Before the Water-
 bury WOmen's Club

Princess Radziwell, formerly of Russia, spoke yesterday afternoon before the members of the Water bury Women's club. She discussed Russia and declared that the west tern nations need have no fear of the great Russian Bear. The Rus sions, she said, are fundamentally an eastern people and at the pres ent time are looking to the east to expand their ideas and not to the west.
 Discussing the Romanoff down. fall, she said it began when Peter the Great moved the center of Rus sian government west to St Peters burg. When Peter ordered his son, Alexis, put to death a curse was placed on all the Romanoffs which came true in 1917 with the revolution. The old Russian gov ernment, the princess declared, was partly to blame for the World war. She said that Germany should not have to shoulder the entire blame.
 Princess Radziwell stated that the five-year plan of the Soviet will not work out. She deplored the lack of education. Luncheon was served before the business meeting and Mrs William Richards presided. She was assisted in ar- arrangements by Mrs Frederick Mar graff, Mrs William r. Brooks. Mrn George M. Grant. Mrs Burton Hine. Mrs J. R. Putnam. Mrs J.. A. Burns and Mrs W. A. Carpenter. The hostesses were Mrs John C.. Bradley, Mrs John H. Foster, Mrs R. s. Walker, Mrs Louis Laun. Mrs Edmond E. J: Duvernoy, Mrs Fred erick Daniels and Mrs Raymond George.
