The pair planned to climb the east face of Longs peak, a difficult feat, which has been accomplished only a half a dozen times, and then when weather conditions were favorable. Their upward Journey met with success, but while they were descending the north face of the peak a strong wind whipped up a raging blizzard and sent the mercury down to 60 below zero. They were blinded by the blizzard and stunned by the cold. Near exhaustion, Miss Vaille was forced to halt while her companion pushed ahead to summon ,,help ' After a hazardous journey Kiener finally reached a timberline house a half way point and a searching party led by Kiener was quickly formed. Forced by the elements to travel at snails pace, the rescuers arrived too late. Huddled in a crevice,' partly covered with snow the daughter of the vacationing millionaire was found.

Mr. Hughes has placed his resignation in the hands of President Coolidge with a reaffirmation of loyalty to his chief, but with an insis- tent request that after nearly twenty years of public service, he be permitted to return to private life.

OTHER IS GIVEN LEASE ON LIFE AN. BY EXECUTIVE Result 1$ Being Watched By Nation; Hair It Turned to Silver Gray From Fear of Trap . Chicago Once more Bernard Grant, a back of the yards youth, breathes easier as again he dodges the shadow of the gallows. Governor Small gave him another ninety days reprieve from hanging in connection with the murder of Patrolman Ralph Souders. Grant was due to hang on January 16, but Governor Small decided to give him another reprieve pending action of the supreme court on the appeal of Walter Krauser, also sentenced to death for the Souders murder. Hair almost white from worry and suspense, Grant was practically beside himself with joy when the reprieve came. That means another chance for life," he said when word of the reprieve was brought to him. The fight for Grants life is based on the Leopold Loeb case, where jail sentences were Imposed for a confessed murder by two wealthy youths. Equal justice for the poor and the rich alike, has been the cry of the youths attorneys, and approximately 1,000,000 letters and telegrams de- of sentence manding communtation have swept in on the governor from all parts of the country. y he-in- far-tner- Shoals Vote Is Put Over Washington.
