ASSESSOR SCOTT DEAD Well-Known and Popular Official Passes Away County Assessor Walter M. Scott died suddenly at 5 o'clock on Sunday morning at the Mission Apartments, corner Fifth and Main streets, at Santa Ana, Scott had risen to take medicine and fell over on his bed dead. His demise followed a breakdown after the strenuous fight of the primaries, in which he won the republican nomination in a three-cornered contest, the hardest fought of the local campaign. With the breakdown came grip, kidney trouble and heart trouble. For several weeks he was confined to his cottage at Balboa, but he had so far recovered his strength he had returned to his home in Santa Ana with his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Hammond. He spent some time on Saturday in the sunshine on the roof, and chatted with friends who called. Sunday morning just before 5 o'clock his sister heard him moving about in his room as though to take his medicine. She then heard him fall, and with that sound came a gurgle. Calling to him Mrs. Hammond ran into the room in the dark. She felt her brother's face but could get no answer. When she turned on the light she saw her brother lying partly on the bed. Death was due to heart failure. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon. He was 65 years old. Scott was one of the best known men of the county. He lived for years at Orange and moved to Santa Ana when he was elected county Scott was one of the best known men of the county. He lived for years at Orange and moved to Santa Ana when he was elected county recorder. After two terms in that office, Scott took up the title business. He was president of the Abstract and Title Guaranty company and an ex-president of the Santa Ana chamber of commerce. Four years ago he was nominated by republicans and elected assessor. A. I. Stewart of Fullerton and Frank Vegely of Santa Ana opposed him for the nomination at the primaries. With the duties of his office and a hard fight on his hands, Scott worked day and night, and when the primaries were over he found himself worn out. The popularity of the man was shown in the vote of the primaries. He defeated his opponents by a large plurality. The democrats did not nominate a man against him. On November 8th Scott was re-elected assessor for another four year term. There is but a month of the present term left. The present board of supervisors may appoint a man to fill out the term. The new board will appoint for the new term, commencing in January. However, since but one member of the present board—Chairman G. W. Angle—goes out, the appointment for this term will likely be affirmed by the new board. Among those who have been mentioned as candidates for appointment are D. N. Kelly, Scott's chief deputy, of Santa Ana; A. I. Stewart of Fullerton, and G. W. Angle, the supervisor. UNCLAIMED LETTERS Harry Freeman, Jose E. Fraire, J. C. Hernandez, Andrew Linton, Gil Romero, R.

In the August primaries Irving, who ran as an insurgent republican, polled 10,000 votes, to Smith's 11,000. Irving secured the democratic nomination, and made a good showing, reducing Smith's majority of two years ago by 5000 votes. Pluralitiesof each candidate in the counties of the eighth district were as follows: Smith: Irving Tulare: 53 San Luis Obispo: 494 Santa Barbara: 250 Ventura: 558 Inyo: 350 San Bernardino: 1935 Riverside: 1009 Orange: 1452 San Diego: 2597 Kern: 307 Smith's net plurality, 5801.

Fed NOW FROM THE COUNTY SEAT All was smooth sailing for William R. Seeley until an off-hand question by Superior Judge West placed Seeley's divorce boat in the water-logged class. Seeley, who lives at Anaheim, was seeking divorce from Lottie Roxie Seeley of Los Angeles, on grounds of desertion. He hinted strongly at cruelty as one ground. He testified that Mrs. Seeley left him a year ago last June. Mrs. Anna Taylor of Los Angeles went on the stand for Seeley. She said she bought some furniture from Seeley and his wife in Los Angeles and she heard Mrs. Seeley tell Seeley she would not live with him. This was very strong corroborative testimony. Mrs. Taylor was leaving the stand, when Judge West asked: "This was a year or two ago?" "No," replied the witness, "it was in September of this year." "What?" Were they living together then? "Yes, they occupied the same room. Since it takes a year's separation to constitute divorce desertion, Seeley's plea was shattered. Attorney W. S. Tipton put Seeley back on the stand, and changed his strong plea to cruelty, but the judge was suspicious, and he ordered the case continued for one week, with instructions that, if possible, Mrs. Seeley be halled into court. United States Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan, who was a visitor last week at Santa Ana, was the honored guest on Friday evening at a banquet tendered him by the chamber of commerce in the dining-room of Odd Fellows' temple. About eighty were present. The object of the banquet was to get before Senator Smith the need of a federal building and the prospects and possibilities for Newport Beach harbor.
