drunken fight in his own home.
John Turner, who lived with the
Girtys, then killed "The Fish" Two
years later Turner married the widow
Girty. In August, 1756, the year
after Braddock's defeat, Turner and
the Girty family were i'll d stockade
at Ft. Granville, on the Juniata, when
it was taken by the French.
The Girty family was turned over
to the Indian allies, who recognizing
Turner as killer of ''The Fish," burn
ed him at the stake. His wife and the
children were compelled to look on.
Mrs. Turner and an infant son by
John Turner were taken by the Del
awares to Fort Duquesne.
Thomas Girty escaped and there
after lived peaceful and useful life" !"
He raised a family and died at Girty's
Run, near Pittsburgh, in 1920. Simon,
Is, was taken by the Senecas and
James, Ii, by the Shawnees. All lived
with the Indians until 1859 when by
treaty all the Indians prisoners were
taken to Pittsburgh and surrendered.
Simon, Is and illiterate, worked
for 13 years as an Indian interpreter.
James worked as laborer and some
times as an interpreter for the In
dians. George became an Indian
trader on his own account. While
living with the savages they all had
been treated kindly and consequently
were attached to them.
Joins British
In the Revolution, up to February,
1778, Simon Girty sided with the
Wings but on the night of March 28
was one of seven persons who alb
seconded from Ft. Pitt to join the
British in the Indian country. They
stopped among the Delewares at
Coshocton and then among the Shaw
anoese on the Scioto and met James,
who had stolen presents entrusted to
him by the government for the In
dians. George then was a lieutenant
in the Continental army but on May
4, 1879, deserted to the British.
George joined the Shawanoese at
Wapakoneta, James, the Shawanoese,
and Simon, the Mingoes. Simon, poor
and ignorant, had been coaxed into
joining the British and Indians by
Elliott and Mckee, both smart and
convincing. That his brothers should
have joined him was natural, consid-
ering the attachment they had for the
Indians and for a wild, free life.
George Girty married a Delaware
squaw and in late life was an habit
ual drunkard. He died at James Cir
tvs trading post on the Maumee
River, two miles below Fort Wayne,
just before the War Of 1912. James
Girty married Betsy, a Shawanoese
squaw. Before the war he retired
from business and moved to a farm
at GosfieId, Canada. He had accumu-
lated much property but with it
reputation as evil as his brothers.
He died unmourned.

weather on Saturday and Sunday
erased the remainder of the heaviest
snowfall since 1914.
It was the coldest March weather
experienced since 1871, but the snow
fall was not SO unusual for at the
same time last year a six-inch snow
fall isolated some rural areas for
two days when high wind piled
deep drifts on the roads.
This years heavy snow did not
drift, and quick disappearance of the
snow presented little complications

GROSS MY HEART,'
 COMEDY FEATURE
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Two of Hollywood's favorite stars are teamed in Paramount's new comedy, Gross My Heart, which ar- rives at the 20th Century Theatre tonight for 3-day run. They are Betty Hutton and Sonny Tufts, and report has it that their talent for making people laugh has never been displayed to better advantage.
 Gross My Heart" tells the up- roarious story of girl who cant help lying when she gets into any sort of trouble. and somehow, she's always getting into trouble. Betty plays the girl, in love with a strug- gling lawyer, portrayed by Tufts, whose excessive honesty interteres with his career.
 To help launch him in a big way, Betty "confesses" the murder of a wealthy snowman just so Sonny can defend her in court and win name for himself as the brilliant lawyer she knows him to be. But the little lying lady bites off more than she can chew, for once, and such un- expected things happen fast and furiously that she hurriedly tells the truth-but to no avail How tHe req murderer is finally apprehended is said to make very funny movie-tell ing.

: SKI DOPE

Juneau Ski Clubbers are plan- ming a trip to the ski bowl Sum- day to lay out the giant slalom course to be used for the race the following weekend. All skiers who plan to enter the event are urged to be on hand Sunday to take the trial run on the bowl slopes. Ski Club President Jim Church announces that this race will be the first standard course set up for racers to receive points toward the Pacific Northwest Ski Association system of ski classifica- ton.
 Tn winning skier will receive five points and the second place man four points down to fifth place who would receive one point. When any racer has reached a total of twelve points he automatically will move up in classification. A sched- ule of races will be held at least once a month next season to per- init all skiers to build up points for this system. Therefore, it is quite important that all skiers who plan to race next season get off to a good start by joining the giant slalom

JOAN GABRIEL
 IN EXCELLENT
 CONCERT HERE

Miss Joan Gabriel, Canadian pi- anist, presented Juneau with a su- perb concert last night in the goth Century Theatre.
 Miss GabriePs classical work is ex- cellent and she has a very fluent touch. Bach and Beethoven are full of power and flexibility but Bach is the strongest of the two, and she has an unusual interpretation fol her age.
 Debussy's Reflection in the Wa ters' was excellent and brilliantly 7vecuted, and the gracefulness oi Beethoven's "Appassionata" was .jlayed with control and poise.
 For her encore numbers she play ed Chopin's Waltz in B Minor, and Prelude in c Major by Perokofief The Waltz in E Minor was radiant in it's romantic style and the Pre- Jude was glittering and rather cold Before the concert Miss Gabriel stated that this was the first tour she has made outside of Canada and that Alaska has an appealing personality and is very beautiful.
 Miss Gabriel is very fragile ap- bearing person and rather slight in statue, and has the ever present English daintiness.
 Miss Gabriel made the trip to Ju- neau especially for this concert and stated that she would like to go to the states in the fall. However, she doubted that she would go to Lon don until the war rumors were more quiet.
 This concert was given under the auspices ofthe Juneau Concert Asso- citation.

BOXERS TRAINING FOR SITkA FIGHTS
 SET FOR APRIL 2o

After more than a weeks ab- sence from the recreation center gym, training schedules are again in full swing for the fights sched- uled with a visiting Sitka team from Mt. Edgecumbe on April 29,
 A definite arrangement of bouts has not yet been drawn up, but excepting Bob Rowland, light heavy in the April 8 trials, all boys participating in the first fights, are preparing for the next.
 Heavies will include Jerry Coletti, Donald Watson, Bob Thomas and Jim Serrell, who will have no op- position from the Sitka team. As tentatively planned, Sitka will not bring man in the heavy divis- ion. This will necessitate bouts between local entries and men from the Wachusett.
 Light heavies in training are Wayne Alter, Bill Novak, Danny Kurz and Alfred Wallis.
 Middles at the center are Rocky Hunter. Lowell Wells, Jim Vuille and George Robbins.
 Welterweights are Percy Hunter, Jack Looke, Bob Lee, Don Neal, Arthur finders Artis Copeland and Osborn King.
 Lightweights are Mike Caliento and Angelo Guinzy. Although a rematch between Caliento and Guinzy was planned for the 29th bouts, Caliento has been advised by the Wachusett doctor to take a bye for the fights due to an injured right hand suffered in the last fight.
 Outstanding in the featherweights is Charles Pledger from the Wa chusett who scored a 27 second TKO over Kenneth Hildreth in the trial bouts.
 Bantam weights now trimming down are Jerry Richardson, Jerry Godkin, Jim Long and Kenneth Hildreth.
 New meil training at the center, all from the Wachusett, are Dave Crockett, Wm Fitzgerald, Wm. Staley, Ed Kalakay and Jeff Man ning.s
 A positive list of those coming from Sitka has not been received, but further arrangements with the Sitka coach are planned for Monday.

ANGELS CREEP UP ON SEALS; FREAK RACES
fRv The Associated Pressl

tby 1ilC ApoOSAdtSO I ANoof
 Comedians could make a routine today out of the business of who's on top in the Pacific Coast League.
 The San Francisco Seals are sit- ting there on the basis of four percentage points. But the Los Angelel Angels. behind in points, are technically a half game ahead because they've won three more games than San Francisco. The Angels have also lost two more than the Seals.
 Thus the rest of the league must figure games behind from the Los Angeles level, although the percentages really tell the story.
 If that isn't confusing enough, there's San Diego perched only a half game behind the Angels, but really no games behind San Fran cisco
 Oakland's percentage is also lower than the Seals, although the Oaks have won one more game than San Francisco.
 The whole muddle can be blamed on rain, the moisture having knocked out a flock of San Fran cisco games, including one with San Diego last night. Rain also cancelled out Hollywood at Portland doubleheader.
 In the only action last night, Oakland beat Seattle twice, 6-0 and 3-2, and Los Angeles tripped Sac ramento for the fourth straight time 6-5.
 Oaklands lefthander Earl Jones, pitched four-hit ball in the first game to shut out the Rainiers. Lloyd Christopher's bases-loaded homer in the fourth inning topped the Oaks 11-hit attack.
 Oakland won the seven inning second game when Will Hafey pinch singled in the last inning after Eddie Fernandes doubled and Vic Buccola, running for him, had moved up on an infield out. Man ager Jo Jo White unsuccessfuily shook up the Rainier lineup in the nightcap.
