FORMER RESIDENT

Old-time friends in Montana have
learned of the death Of Henry Ken

Mr.. Kennedy. a former Manhattan

The family resided several miles from
Manhattan on East Gallatin river. For
the past 10 years he lived at Man

guilty, for whom often there was
little or no sympathy.
Judge Frank H. Woody, Missoula
pioneer, has left us the story of one
Incident which, in justice, should have
brought Indian wrath upon a deed
that, in modern legal practice, would
have been murder. But in the wilder
ness, it meant merely another dead
Indian except for possible vengeance
wreaked upon innocent men if the
facts we're revealed.
The white neighbors of the culprit
would have willingly turned him over
to his just punishment. But, under
standing the childlike working of the
Indian mind which led to enmity for
a group for the sins of the individual,
the safety of all depended upon care
fully guarding their tongues.

The bidding:

There was nothing to the play of
the above hand, taken from quail
flying round of the recent Vanderbilt
Cup tournament. The bidding is
interesting from the standpoint that
1t represents one of those slams
which usually are difficult to bid
due to the fact that the opening
bidder Is so weak in trumps. How
ever, in spite of this weakness, Mr..
Schenken's opening diamond bid
was very sound, and after Mr.. ia
coby's jump raise, he felt strong
enough to invite the slam, which he
did by means of the control-show-
Ing bid in spades-the suit bid by his
opponent.
Mr.. Jacoby's second jump to five
diamonds confirmed the fact that he
was very strong in that suit, and
furthermore indicated that he want
ed his partner to bid six If possible.
If Mr.. Jacoby had wanted to sign of
he would merely have bid four dia-
monds. Accordingly, Mr.. Schenken
now realized that there was little
likelihood of losing diamond trick.
and hence contracted for the slam,
which was, of course, laydown.
AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Schenken
could have made seven If he had
cared to play West for both the queen
