A PECULIAR DILEMMA.
Fight for the Possession Of q Lot on
West Street.

some time ago ". III. johnson
bought some unimproved property out
on West street near Stewart for $500,
and later sold all but one lot which he
still retains. He went out Monday 10
take look at the lot and was sur
prised to find a neat fence surrounding
it and a pretty cottage. which will cost
about 500 when completed, in course
of construction on the lot. Mr.. John
son rubbed his eyes and looked around
10 get his bearings. He soon con-
WINGED himself that the Improvements
were on his property, and being sure
that he had ordered nothing of the
kind, began an investigation. He
learned that the work was being done
under instructions from a Mr.. Sim
mons and hunted that gentleman up.
Mr.. Johnson stated that the lot was
his. but he appreciated Mr.. Simmons
kindness ii the improvements were
being made at the latter's expense and
was glad to make his acquaintance.
Mr.. Simmons replied that Mr.. John
son must be laboring under halluci-
nation. He claimed the ground by
! right of possession. johnson tried to
convince Simmons that the deiusion
was on the other side OF the house,
but argument had no effect and the
discussion was abandoned after both
had become pretty well warmed up.
Yesterday Mr.. johnson sent his at
torney, Mr.. Fabin. out 20 see about
the matter. Mr.. Fabin told Mr.. SIM
mons that he had investigated the
title before Mr.. Johnson purchased
the property and found that il was a
part of Bells donation claim, that the
title passed from the United States to
Mr.. Bell and there had been only two
or three direct transfers since Mr..
Simmons rejoined that Mr.. Fabin was
mistaken, the title gas still vested in
the United States. He was going to
make his improvements and secure a
title from the government. He had
paid kieoo to investigate the title and
kngks what he was about. Mr.. Fabin
freMied that Mr.. Simmons might be
light, but they would test il with an
ejectment suit. Mr.. Simmons said
with naughty scorn, that he should
not heed any ejectment suits and did
not care snap OF his finger for King
county's sheriff or Pooh Bah. He
should recognize no authority except
that OF the United States government,
and would spend a million OF dollars
If necessary in contesfing the case.
Mr.. Johnson is in something OF a
quandary He dislikes the idea of all
of the expense and trouble incident 20
a suit TO secure possession of his own
property, but sees no other way out OF
the dilemma.
