NATIONAL MOVIE QUIZ
ANNOUNCEMENT

Most motion picture audiences
will be interested in National An
nouncement Night, that will be held
in motion picture theatres through
out the country on Monday evening,
February 9th; for this day will be
truly remembered by 5,404 persons
winners of the $25O,O00 Movie Quiz
Contest On this occasion annOun-
cement of the winners will be made
from the stages or screens OF all the
motion picture theatres that have
participated in the campaign that
marked Motion Pictures Greatest
Year.
Manager Stevenson of the Steven
son Theatre will celebrate this &C.
casion by announcing the names Of
all national prize winners from the
$4,000 first prize, $4,000 second
prize, $4,000 prize winners, $4,000
prize winners, down to the $1,000
successful contestants. In addition
all local prize winners will be an
nounced. Should winners be pre-
sent in the theatres, certified checks,
issued by the Chemical Bank &
Trust Company of New York, will
be presented to them on this occa-
sion.
The judges of the contest are:
Mrs. Ogden Reid, DR.. James E. West,
Mrs. Helen Wills Moody, the Hon
orable Bruce Barton and Mr. Hend-
rik Willem van Loon.
In the selection of the winning
letters, the entries were considered
without signatures and identified by
key number. In that way even the
Judges did not know the names of
the successful contestants until after
they made their selections.
The motion picture industry is
proud df the success of this contest
and the manner in which it was
judged. Although a tremendous
task, because of the large number of
entries, each answer was carefully
checked by staff of experts, and
through process of elimination the
letters were graded and then con-
sidered by the judges.

Boys Just Miss Shut-Out.

Triumph, and Boys
Stage Scoring Spree
81 to 2; EPSON Boys
Get Just Two Free
Throws

Henderson high school basketball
teams routed EPSON teams here last
night in the gymnasium, the lassies
scoring a 46 to IA triumph, and the
boys practically annihilated the visit
ing five, 81 to 2, not allowing EPSON
a single field goal.
The girls contest opened with in
dications of ding dong affair, with
Henderson playing minus its top
forward, Miss Mary F. Ellington.
At the end of the first period, the
count stood Tall.
Miss Houghtaling entered the
game at the beginning of the second
quarter, and Henderson began it's
scoring parade. At the half, the
score stood 20 to in favor of Hen
derSon.
Miss Houghtaling took top honors
in scoring for Henderson, with 80
points, while on defense, Misses
Duke, Harris, Knight and Moore,
four of the best guards seen in ac-
ton on the Henderson court this
season, held EPSON in check.
Miss S. Harrington was the best
for the losers, with nine points. Miss
Edwards got four, and Miss E. Smith
got one. Miss Smith, usually a top
scorer, was held in check by Cap
tain Duke, of Henderson.
Boys Miss ShutOut
Henderson lads put on one of their
best defensive performances of the
season, holding EPSON boys to just
two free throws. 1t was late in the
second quarter before EPSON could
score on a free throw. Again in
the third period, the visitors made
a goal from the Tree throw line.
That was the end of their scoring for
the night
During the fourth period, Hender-
sons offense really went to town,
eighteen of the points coming in that
period alone.
Dick Galloway was high scorer. He
had plenty of aid i'll looping points
as his mades fed him the ball under
the basket. Spsom could not cope
with the game presented by the
Bulldogs.
In the past three games, the boys
have limited their opposition to Just
six field goals.

Duke Blue Devils moved to the

tically put the Durham team into

1t looks like Davidson's Wildcats,
after being kept out by the smallest
OF margins during the past two
years, will get into the Southern
Conference playoff tourney. Only
one more victory in three remaining
conference games is needed to clinch
a place for the Cats, who, like al
most all other Davidson teams, are
spanked by a good little man."

case is John Philip Tice, a five-foot,

he was reputed to be the smallest

concerned he still holds the title.

Ferris and r. c. Nelson, hunter,
jerked their horses around and vaulted
a ditch. Lead flew wildly, and Ferris
received a wound in the shoulder
Alexis Pillon, French voyageur, was
hurled from his horse and almost in
stantly slain. His horse galloped wildly
off. Nelson, across the ditch and partly
shielded from bullets, turned to see
how Vanderburgh was faring. He was
about to rush back to Vanderburgh's
aid when his horse received two shots
in the neck. Nelson was compelled to
flee to save his own life.
Vanderburgh had just got to his feet
when the Indians closed in on him.
The odds were all against him but,
tough, mountain man that he was, he
determined to stand until the end. He
threw up his rifle and killed the near
est of the advancing Redmen. Then
he dragged for his pistol, but before he
could raise it, a volley behind his
back cut him down, and he fell dead.
The survivors fastened to the juno
ton of the Alder and Ruby rivers and
packed up. They headed for the caches
on Horse Prairie. At the Beaverhead
Rock they glimpsed large amount of
smoke and, fearful of the presence Of
other hostile Indians, returned toward
the Jefferson, where they pitched
camp. They fortified the place in a
grove of cottonwoods, and spent rest
less night.
The next day a accommodating party
was sent out, and found to the relief
of all that the Indians at the Beaver
head Rock were friendly Selfish and
Pend O'Reilles. Thus reinforced, the
trappers decided to return to the scene
of the attack. On Oct II burial party
found and buried Pillon, but could
not find Vanderburgh. Ferris, anxious
to see the body of the leader whom he
had great respect for, sent a group of
Selfish to the place, promising them a
large reward if they could find the
remains Of the leader.
Two stories Of the success of the
Selfish have come down to the present
day. One is that Vanderburgh's body
was never found. The other says that
the skeleton, stripped of flesh. was

found in the river, and was buried on
a margin of the river The latter re-
port seems the most likely, since it
was the one given by Ferris.
The name of Henry Vanderburgh Is
one well known in the annals of the
men who went out for furs. Not so
famous. perhaps, as that of many an
other trapper. but still one to go down
in history-not SO historic as that of
Kenneth Mckenzie, factor for the
American Fur Co., said to be the ablest
man who ever dealt with Indians; or
Jim Bridger, the discoverer of the
Yellowstone region, Hugh Glass and
Mike Fink, king Of the keelmen," all
Of whom were in the employ Of the
Rocky Mountain Co. But Vanderburgh
and his death will be remembered as
an incident of an epoch as romantic
and historic as any in the history Of
any nation-the Montana fur trade.

the creek. He was uncertain of the ter
ritory, and wary of hostilities.
After travelling about three miles
Vanderburgh and his party found a
fire still burning, buffalo Just shot,
and fresh tracks of Indians.
Vanderburgh examined the tracks with
great care.
Looks like there aren't more than
six or eight Injuns!" he said. Tracks
don't show any more. anyway"
And he added, I'VE got to be care

full. If they're hostile, our scalps won't
be worth much to us!"
The little party Of fur hunters
pushed another three miles onward.
They headed for a thick clump Of
trees in the valley. This would place
them a few miles north of the pres
ent town of Sheridan. AS they crossed
a gully, there was the bang Of guns
from ambush, and bullets whiStled.

slug in him, dropped out, and the
