KAPUS DEVELOPMENTS
DIR. G II. PEPPERS MISSION TO
SAN FRANCISCO
The Other Claimants Said to Be Dis
gruntled-The Mysterious ''Vin-

DR.. C. 7. Pepper, one of the kapus
victims who is said to have invested
s13, 900 in those airy claims against the
Pacific Coast Steamship company, is
said to be somewhat unpopular with the
rest of the investors in that glittering
bubble. DR.. Pepper went north to iden-
tify the mysterious Vincent. The doctor
discovered in George d. GRANVILLE, a
discharged employe of the steamship
company, the man he wanted, and
rything owned by the said GRANVILLE.
The property attached is water front
lots at the foot of Powell street, San
Francisco, worth about $12,0G0. Pepper,
however, made the attachment in his
own name, and on returning to Los An
geles was taken i'll. The other claim

ing up the case against Kapus. DR..
Pepper states that he visited San Fran
cisco at his own expense and identified
Vincent and GRANVILLE as one and the
same. He attached the property of Gray
Vile while north. Dr. Pepper further
states that the intimation that he was
feigning sickness to avoid further ming
ling in the matter is untrue: that he was
taken sick on Wednesday following his
return from the north, but between the
time of his return and Wednesday he
was taken sick, no one appeared in re-
gard to the Kapus matter.
