Santa Barbara Begins Reconstruction MYSTERIOUS NOTE SECURES REPRIEVE FOR DOOMED SLAYER (Continued from rage one) thatthe Inscription, -'murdered by the state of Illinois," be placed on Ills tombstone. Governor Smnll a action came after Scott's relatives early this week had been unsuccessful In ef forts to obtain a reprieve or commutation. Business men and friends of Scott, who three years ago was rated as a millionaire in Windsor, Out., addressed on appeal for clemency to President Coollrige. Several reprieves previously had been granted while the supreme court of Illinois passed on the case. Mtturer was shot and killed April S, 1924, In the basement of a drug store; Scott maintained his broth er hnd fired the shot during a quarrel at a drinking party, but the prosecution contended a hold up had been fringed by the broth ers. Uusaell .Scott, arrested the next day, pleaded Ruilty to murder, but when the court Indicated a death sentence would be Imposed, his nt tortiey burst Into tears and plead ed for mercy. Through a technl enllty the plea wns withdrawn nnd Scott was tried and sentenced by a Jury, whoso Judgment was sua tallied by the pupreme court. In his heydey, Scott headed $30,000,000 snlfs corporation in "Windsor, ont., interested In the con t:-uctlnn of a $12,000,000 bridge over the Detroit river. The pro 1ect fiiilcd and Scott wont broke.

I told him we were fortu nate in eecurinK such a splendid cargadore on the road and ho re plied that man waa his policeman for this distK.t. He certainly wan a peach. For such a faithful ser vice rendered, I gave him 60 cento,, 20 more than the Jteual fare and he was no delighted he published the news to other na tives, which played havoc on the way. It made no difference to thn others that this man had hecn of such service to us, I had given more than the usual wage and they expected what they never received. We had a tiresome walk that day, the views were not no lovely and we had left the rice terraces and it meana just forg ing ahead, making time. The only interesting occurrence was the wading of two torrents of streams had to be done my dear. Three days from Baguio, the solos of my golf shoes became disjoined from the body of the shoe and I had to walk liko a high stepping horse in order to keep that flap on the remaining piece of leath er. Oh, it was maddening, made M) much effort to walk. When we got to camp 88, Just 45 miles from Baguio, we met an acquaint ance we had made In Bontoc nnd the said gentleman was worried how I would get home, even half way. There were no horses In this neighborhood. The shoe did not worry me particularly, I had had so many aches and pains, this seemed very inconsequential, but he fussed a great deal and ending binding up the shoes and cover ing the lot with his stockings. I looked lika an old gouty woman on the way. I swear to you I did not see anything more allur ing in the liquid line than the jade green diamond streams tu the canyons. How lovely they were and how tantalizing. Per haps 2000 feet below, these streams dashing over the white rocks, forming iridescent pools and we hot from our walking, could think of nothing more per fect than a dip in the water. 1 never saw mountains with more, cascades, perhaps not so high, or as much volume as our water falls, but every crevice lurked with water and every stream had to be waded. What cares the Igo by tearing up his oilcloth and rot with his bare legs about ankle deep water. It serves as a cooling lotion for his knotty feet. But to walk with wet feet only aids blis ters In forming into real duty- successful ones. I certainly be came disgusted with my feet be fore the end of the trail was reached. From Halgl I was able to get a pretty good horse, Mr. H. rode down the mountain with me and all he had to do to make the horses go was to apeak to them in an ordinary tone of voice, then they would fly, but juat see m alone, if he happened to be in the rear. My horse would begin to atumble and could not possibly get over rocky paths without my guidance )f pulling the reins nnd incidentally coar ing and pushing him besides. These horses cer tainly know how to fake. Lillian got along fine, excepting boing very tired, but I think eh0 was remarkable on the entire trip for one unaccustomed to walking. She did not have a blister. The morning we rode ahead of her, before the four separated, L. went on by herself, thinking we would catch up quickly, we rode all the way to Bontoc without seeing her and when we got to the rest house made inquiries and she had not appeared. Wo became alarmed about her and Mr, Hard ener went to the constabulary to have an officer scout the country for her. He finally got trace of her, it seern she took the wrong trail going to a place called Baunce, instead of Bontoc, the fail ometer post having "B" on it and she did not realize her mistake until she got : this little town 8 miles away, 8 miles return and then had to walk to Bontoc. Ye Gods, the poor girl. We got the only car,-and the first one ever in this country, and rode DacK tin we found her, hot, tired and dripping wet as the afternoon rain had come on before she could find shelter. I lost five pounds on the trip. No wonder, I do not see how I even weighed t pounas. Besides the walking, I had no ap petite, the food was repulsive to me. We had ohickens and eggs three times a day for ten days. Well, anyway, it was a magnifi cent trip, I would not miss it for a million dollars and would not do it again for like sum just now. It was always my desire to go, Mrs. 8. staid here alone while we were gone and l tains: sne ana Montague, he in Vigan, and ahe here, spent most ot their time worrvlne about its getting caught in the rain which we did not.
