CROWDS ATTEMPT TO SEE EXECUTION MONTREAL, Que., Oct. 24.—Amid the greatest secrecy and while a crowd of thousands fought with police outside, four murderers of a bank messenger in the $142,000 Hochaliga bank holdup last April were hanged here today. The four who died were Gluzepe Serafina, Antony Frank, Frank Gambino and Louis Morel. A fifth, who was to have been executed with them, Michael Valentino, was given a reprieve by the cabinet at the eleventh hour. The executions took place in the Bordeaux prison. It might have been a country fair, not a quadruple execution, to judge from the crowds that flocked about the reservation, where they could hope to see nothing more than the stone walls that are there every day. The first of the curious to gather arrived between Sand 5 o'clock in the morning. The traps, it had been reported, then would be sprung. Motorcycle constables permitted none to stop near the prison. Inside the gates were 25 provincial police, ready to cope with whatever disorder might arise. After dawn thousands of persons either motored to and from or walked near the prison. The cycle police were unable to handle the mob and reserves were called. Searchlights that had whitened the sky all night, played on the crowds in the pre-dawn hours. The cabinet, in sparing Valentino, also commuted to life imprisonment the death sentence of Leo Davis, who was to have been hanged at a later date. Last minute statements made by the condemned men, in which they agreed that Valentino and Davies were mere tools in their hands, saved the two. Of the $142,000 taken in the holdup, $100,000 never has been recovered. YORBA LINDA, Oct. 24.—Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Bemis and Mr. and Mrs. Ward Holland were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

BILLY WHISKERS BY FRANCES TREGO MONTROSEY door Toodles didn't like runaway so Billy said he would her back to the studio and join his friends, Stubby and on. He had scarcely uttered those when a police patrol wagonaded the corner at full speed was upon them before they dink. Out leaped four polen, who grabbed Toodles. Billy and shoved them into wagon before you could count, and off they drove, leaving Billy and Button dumb withrise. Let's follow them and see they are going to take," suggested Stubby at last. Know where they are going: to the studio, for I saw the total trainer on the front seat the driver," said Button. Would just like to know who the alarm, that screeching poll parrot, perhaps it was the noise the made when it was butted." My, that Toodles is a scary-said Button. "And I am they caught her and took her for we would have had an all time with her. As for Billy, ill soon get away from them." Then Billy and Toodles were bundled into the wagon Toodles trainer turned to her and said, "Toodles, what ever made you try to run away from me after being with me for 25 years? Haven't I always treated you well and looked out for your comfort in every way I bet it was that foxy old billy-goat that coaxed you to do it!" When they got back to the studio Billy was locked in a box stall that had too high a wall for him to be able to jump over it. Being rather tired, Billy lay down and soon was fast asleep. In the morning, just as he awoke and was wondering how he could get out, two men entered to look for a sheep that one of them had left in the stable. They opened the door of Billy's stall by mistake, when Billy, seeing a chance to escape, jumped up and with a bound went straight between the legs of the taller, thinner man and disappeared down the long alley of the stable. "Now is the time for me to get away and find Stubby and Button," thought Billy to himself as he ran out of the livery stable. But just as he was about to run out of the door into the street, they were closed and Billy quickly jumped into an open stall beside him to hide for he did not wish the man who had shut him up the night before to know he had escaped from his box stall. The front doors opened and shut and people drove in and out with wagons and autos, but not once did Billy have a chance to slip out. He was growing very much discouraged when an auto stopped before the stall he was in and a man stepped out to get a blanket he had forgotten. "Now is my chance," thought Billy. "I'll jump in and take my chances of his seeing me." (Billy has many adventures before he finally meets his friends again.) Now For a Big Saturday in Our Shoe Department!
