DEATH VALLEY
SCOTTY REAPPEARS

About fifteen years ago there was
a noted character in the southwest
known as "Scotty" who, every little
while, would make mysterious
trip into Death Valley accompanied
by a pack buIro and after time
would return apparently well sup
piled with money. Where or how
he came into possession of the mon
ey never could be found out. There
were many theories advanced but
that was all that ever came of it.
He would then make trips into the
cities and spend money lavishly
right and left. At one time he even
chartered a whole special train on
the Santa Fe railroad from Los An
geles to Chicago and paid for it
himself He dropped out of sight
many years ago and nothing had
been heard of him until lately Now
he has reappeared, according to a
report from Tonopah, Nevada, and
seems to be up to some more of his
mysterious dOings. The report says
walter Scott, better known as
Death Valley 'Scotty,' is constructing
S150.000 concrete building in a
canvOn in Death Valley. The pur-
pose LOT WHICH IuS UulIuluS 10 DGILS
erected in the isolated region of the
destre is unknown, and Scott's an
swers to questions are: I'm putting
up a girls academy" or I'm build
ing a home for worn out newspaper
men"
Nothing but the finest material
is being used in the building, the
lumber for which is being shipped
from Portland, Ore, to San Pedro,
Calf. and then sent to Death Valley
bv train, truck and tractor. In adj
dition to the large building, the win
dows of which are protected by hea-
w steel bars, there are several small
Ter buildings being erected by Scott.
It is believed here that Scott's
millionaire Chicago friend, Mr.
Johnson, is backing him for the pur-
pose of establishing college for
boys, similar to that maintained by
L. L. Num- of Colorado at Deep
Springs on the Nevada-California
border in Tnvo County. California"
