A Remarkable Accident. Although a white hot steel bar 238 feet long and nearly an inch in dia° meter passed completely through his head in a steel mill accident Paul Kosty was near recovery today at Hammond. i

+ Kosty stooped to pick up a wrench and failed to dodge the hot steel bil2 let above him. The biflet traveling at the rate of 40 feet a minute ran 24 feet through his head, paralyzing the brain centers conirolling feeling, sight, speech' and hearing. Kosty grasped the bar and pulled the remainder through. o

* Kosty’s recovery amazes physicians who say he seems to suffer no ill effect other than pain and shock. He is 37 years old married and the father of two children. “ :

SUPPOSED TO BE A NATIVE OF ~ NEVADA BUT' NOBODY SEEM ~ NEVADA DUT NOBODY _SEEMS_ ‘“’altcr Scott, Sixty-Five Years Oid | With More Than Hali of Them | Spent In Death Valley.

I promised Banner readers somg history of Walter Scott who is knbwnl as “Scotty of Death Valley” located in the hottest spot of California - There are old timers who claim thai, the source of Scotty’s wealth is the horde of gold secreted in Death Valley by the outlaws who infested the golcf fields in forty-nine and the early fifties, but this is mere speculation born of mystery. _ By D. C.. Dunn

" The notorious resident of Death Val‘Scotty notorious resident of Death Valbelow sea level where the temperature during nine months in the year reaches 160 degrée farenheit. He is 65 years old and periodically during the. past 35 years he has come out of the desert and appeared 'at San Bernodine, Mohave or other border desert ¢ities always garbed in the same style black Prince Albert coat, blue flannel shirt, bright reqd neck tie, a cow boy hat and cow boy boots. Scotty is a large waisted mau, has .round fat flaming red face but his hands and feet are very small almost feminine in size. :

Scotty’s first stopping place afteyg reaching a city has always been a bank which he enters with a mysterious looking package and when hg comes out his pocKets are bulging with gold coins. Scotty does not like paper or silver money. After securing, his gold coins he heads for the bright lights of Los Angeles where he is so well known.: ! .

In talking to an old resident of Los Angeles who has known Scotty for 35 years I learned that when he first appeared there he brought a large lot of samples of gold beaming rock which he displayed in a glass case in the rear of a saloon conducted by one Rowl King. b i : Scotty’s Fortune Teller " Simultaniously there appeared in Los Angeles a very noted fortune teller, (actording to his own ads in L. A. Papers”)who, for a consideration offered his advise to those about to make investments, especially mining investments. = )

Scotty let it be known that he was going to organize a gold mining company and “let in” a few people on the most wonderful mine of all time. The fortune teller boosted Scottys mining stock. :

r The location the mine was not revealed but it was supposed to be in Death Valley—Scouts were put on Scotty’s trial when he returned to the desert, for the purpose of locating the mine but Scotty knew _his desert too well he simply vanished from sight as soon as he got into the desert leaving no trail and the mine was neveér located. : ;

Sotty’s mining stock did not sell well. : ;

For advertising purposes Scotly would stand on the street corners in the conjested district of Los Angeles and (always arranging in advance to haveia reporter present) throw handsful five dollar gold pieces to crowds of newsboys. ¢ : , : Pulls Another Stunt ! Another stunt of Scottys was to buy out entire corner flowers stands where bunched violets were sold. He would personally take charge and hand each lady who passed a bunch of violets *“With Death Valley Scotty’s Compliments.” ‘ He bought out the entire stocks of newsboys and carried arm loads of papers in the bar room of the Hallen= beck Hotel placed them on the bar and personally presented them to all comers with D. V. Scotty’s Compliments. This naturally resulted in many free drinks for Scotty and he Lwas very fond of them especially free ones. ‘ £ ‘ “

Another advertising feature of Scotty’s was to light his cigars with $2O bills (always before good sized crowds) Scotty was always careful about holding the end of the bills containing the serial number in his hand and after his cigar was lit he wquld pocket the unburned end and it is said that he sent these ends to Washington for redemption e ' During this period Scotty made many trips back to the desert always reappearing with his pockets bulging with gold and finally he announced that he was going to New York to see the White lights. He chartered a train consisting of engine baggage car dining car and one sreeping car and the Santa Fe Ry made the run in the record breaking time of 63 hours which at that time was 36 hours under" schedule. This feat was largely commented on by all the newspapers but did not seem to help the sale of Scotty’s mining stock.

S Pats: Railway On Maps .~ = Scotty refers to the trip as the event that ‘put the Santa Fe Railroad “on the map” claiming that prißr to thai trip the railway was unknown and was nothing: but two streaks of rust through a désert that the business offered the road after his trip resulted in the great railroad it is today. On a recent visit to Los Angeles Scotty announced that he.is going to W. Y. again by special train and that

he will smash all existing rmrdsm‘ Scotty mining deal nearly materialig ed but during all the years since that time he has appeared periodically in Los Angeles always laden with $5.00 gold pieces but he does not throw lghvem to the newsboys now, : It appears that he was robbed on a recent visit to the city and he now has the pockets in which he:carries

his money lined with fish hooks. ' The mystery of the source of supply of Scotty inexhaustable wealth has never been solved and Scotty is silent on that subject. . ' _ He is now building a stene palace in Death Valley. It will consist of 40 rooms and ten l*ths and will cost $250,000 The building isy under roof but work was stopped on it in April which is the beginning of the hot season. The workmen who were imand complete Scotty’s 'palace home next winter. e ~ What use he will ever make of this |desert palace or where the monay came from to build it nobody ;professes to know. 0 Scotty is a man of mystery.
