Echeandia seized upon this incident to accuse Fr. Martinez of : ay ‘aided Solis and on February 1830, ordered the arrest of the adie on charges of treason.Fr. Martinez was forcibly’ seized at San Luis Obispo and taken to the Mi¥sion Santa Bliarbaira where he was held incommunicado. A farcial trial was held, perjured testomony taken and Fr. Martinez was ordered banished by Echeandia. The grief stricken friar sailed. for -Peru-—on March 20, 1830, at the age of sixty four and after having served thirty four years at the mission. Fr.

The mission has suffered such devas. tations that the poor friar was bedded on an oxhide, and used the horn of an ox as a drinking cup, and for nourishment had only strips of meat dried in the sun.” The story of the ruin of San Luis Obispo under successive Mexican . governors is similar to that of the other missions in California, as related in preceding chapters.

Fill up the empty sockets and replace the small sized bulbs in floor and table lamps before headaches and eyestrain develop. It is good policy, too, to see that the light on your porch or basement stairs is really good light. Most dangerous falls on stairs are caused by a misstep due to shadows and poor light. In the kitchen many cuts . : and burns might be avoided if just a little better light was by the kitchen sink or stove. Good floor and table lamps today are inexpensively priced. Prices of lamp bulbs in sight-saving sizes are lower than ever and the reduced electric rates make better lighting a truly low cost monthly item.
