before Judge Van Dyke yesterday, In
which William H Kelso and William West
attempted to avoid paying their part Of a
certain appeal bond.
The present action, entitled Thomas Rice
VS.. William H. Kelso, r. D. List and
William West, was the outcome of judg-
ment rendered in the justice court on July

William West. The latter appealed from
the decision, and List and Kelso went as
securities. In the appeal bond there was a
clerical error caused by the omission of
the word him" In the appeal the de-
cision We're against West, and his sureties
were required 20 pay the judgment. This
List agreed to do, but West refused and
claimed that he had no right to pay the

BILLBOARD BATTLE
Merchants Ad. Sign Co. Gets Judg'
ment Against L. A. Bill Co.

Another skirmish in the battle of the
local bill board companies was enacted be-
fore Judge Allen yesterday between the
Merchants Ad Sign company and E. w
Campbell and the Los Angeles Bill Post
ing company The fight was one-sided from
start to finish. as the Merchants Ad Sign
company won hands down.
The Merchants company was plaintiei
in two suits One was against the Los An
geles Posting company, in which the
plaintiff asked Judgment for the sum OF
$4,000 as damages, and also that the COM
pany be restrained from engaging In con-
Quoting a bill posting business. The Mer-
chants company, in September 1897, pur-
chased the goodwill and appliances of the
City Bill Posting company, which was
owned by E. W. Campbell year later
Campbell engaged in business and as a
result the present suit followed. In this
action the court gave judgment in the sum
of 1920. In the second action, which was
on the same ground. the court granted a
restraining order, enjoining the defend
ants from engaging in such business.

A SHADY TRANSACTION
E. T. Howe Claims to Have Been Vic.
tim of SharperS

T.. u. howe C4dlulS U 4dVc 0ccA d ~
tim of Sharpers
The transactions of E. T. Howe, a local
real estate man, in which he claims to have
been the victim of over-zealous agents en-
ga ged in the same business were the foun-
dalton Of a legal action which was on trial
before Judge York yesterday.
According to Mr. Howe's story. on Oc-
tober of last year he negotiated through w
H. Obear for the purchase of four lots in
the Bellevue Terrace tract. The lots were
the property of Mrs. Mary Bills and Miss
Agnes Bills. He claims that Obear repre-
sented to him that $1,000 would be necessary
to clinch the sale. Instead of advancing
the cash he gave note for the amount
payable to r. A. and Cora Guthrie, as the
agent, he claims, represented that the Bills
had requested 1t that way. The note was
transferred by the latter to Charles l..
Eager and Addie Johnson who still hold
it, After doing as requested he discov-
cred that the Bills had made no such re-
quest and as the money had not beer
paid to the proper owners he had no in
tereet in the lots.
When he became aware of this he at
once commenced the present action against
Eager and Johnson to recover his note.
The case will be continued today.
