Plugged watermelons caused the
massacre of DR.. and Mrs. Marcus
Whitman and eleven others near Walla
Walla in 1847.
1t is theorized by some historians
that Whitman generated dislike a.
mong the Indians because of his sys-
tenn of preventing the theft of his
watermelons--he plugged the melons,
put in bitter medicine that would make
the Indians sick and put the plug back
Others believe the massacre was q
result of the Indian custom of killing
the doctor if the patient died, and
and some of Whitman s patients were
not cured.

'Belle Starr" the petticoat terror of the Ozarks, comes vividly to life on the screen in the 20th Century Fox technicolor production bearing her name, which comes to tho Loew Poli theater on Friday.
 Lovely Gene Tierney, 6 flaming new personality, won the role of the beautiful bandit queen opposite Randolph Scott, who portrays Sam Starr, the daring guerilla leader who loved and marr1ed Belle. Belle was a far cry from the rough frontier woman her two-gun history must indicate. Furthermore, it is said that she never fired 8 shot when a smile or 8 flash of neat ankle would do the trick.
 The film opens in Belle's home in Carthage, Missouri, at the close of the Civil War and shows the developments that turned this shell tered but head strong girl, pas- sionately devoted to the cause of the South, Into a daring desperado. | Despite her two-gun activities. Belle found plenty of time for love and had many sweethearts, but the film concentrates on her romances with Major Thomas Grail, young federal officer, and handsome Sam Starr, whose outlaw band she joined and whom she married. The Starr band. lead by Sam and Belle. be- comes the scourge of the country side. They rob banks and trains, force many of the carpet-bsggers to flee and ever storm a federal arsenal. The government puts a huge price on their heads, dead or alive.

 Hollywood "Cut Our Way'' fans who also happen to be movie serial addicts, or victims, will have d chance to see Artist Jim Williams new ranch home on the screen - but under rather odd circumstances. Tn Q chapter thriller called ':RinR of the Texas Rangers" the ranch will be represented as the hideout of the head villain.
 Early one morning location company from Republic Studio was scouting northwest of Hollywood for a place that looked like hand some ranch house in Texas. This one, they agreed, was just the spot "a wide sweep of field in front with horses grazing; 8 large barn and corral at one side; the long, ram- bling white-walled and red-tile- roofed house (strictly early Califor- nia) topping hill. Photographed from the south and framed against the low mountains, 1t would look isolated, too. They could avoid showing the home the Williams nearest neighbors, Bob Taylor and Barbara Stanwyck.
 CALLS OFF DOGS
 The location manager was all set for some tough bargaining when he went up and asked if they could rent the place for 6 few hours. "Rent-wly, of course noti" said the Wllliamses. "Just help your- selves, boys; only wait till we get the dogs in"
 Nobody explained about the story, but 1t turns out that the ranch Is shown as the headQuar- ters of 6 nefarious foreign agent }tNeil Hanilton) who's bent on sabo- tagging. Texas oiifields. The hero who foils him in the final episode Is Slingin' Sam Baugh, former Texas football star turned actor.
 Incidentally, anyone who sees any of these flickers shouldn't be fooled by the interior shots of the sabo- teur's house. Republic took detail- ed still pictures of the entrance to Cartoonist Williams home and has exactly reproduced the porch and doorway at the studio. From there on, the rooms and furnishings are entirely the conception of . set de- signer.
 TIMES CHANGE
 Studios and owners have had some sorry experiences in renting private houses and estates for movie making. In the old wildcattlng days, producers thought nothing of tearing up lawns, shooting out windows and hurling paint around.
 I remember Paramount's head- ache with "Men With Wings For some early scenes & modest home was rented. It was supposed to be an old house in Maryland, and sev- eral exterior shots were made around it. The owners get a grati- flying check and the company moved on.
 Later, when executives decided additional sequences were needed at the Maryland" house, the company went out there again and scarcely recognized the place. The owners had spent every dime of their studio check repainting and remodeling.
 Workmen grinly set about rec storing everything to It's original shabbiness. Paint was scraped off, shrubs and trees dug up and set aside. When house and grounds looked exactly as they had, addi- tional scenes were filmed. Then shrubs, trees, paint and carpentry were put back in place, the man. ager wrote another check, and the owners were happy.
