VAN vRANKEN FOOLED
Was Induced to Buy q Santa Monica
Lot on an Unreliable Certificate

D. A. Van Vranken commenced a suit
for the recovery Of $500 against the Fidel-
ity Abstract company and its stockholders.
In December of last year Van Vranken
made a contract to purchase from Mrs.
1 B. Nichols lot in block Is of Santa
Monica for $500, provided her title was
good. He alleges that he then employed
the Fidelity Abstract company to ascer-
tin this for him, and that 1t gave him
a certificate on December 81, stating that
the property was vested in Mrs. Nichols
and that 1t was free from all incum-
brances Relying upon this, Van Vranken
bought the lot and paid for it.
As a matter of fact, the property was
owned by w. H. and Elijah H. Workman,
and in February Of this year they sold IL
to one George Welch, who commenceu a
suit against this plaintiff and others to
quiet title, and won the case. 1t was proved
at that time to the satisfaction of every
body that the Workmans had owned the
lot for twenty-five years. Plaintiff al
leges that he was put to $3.50 expenses
In the litigation, and that the
market value of the lot when he thought
he had purchased it was $3.50. For these
reasons he wants the abstract company
now to make his losses good to him.

The examination of James D. Steele, a
secondhand furniture dealer of 255 South
Main street, charged with grand larceny
by n. j. Sanders. another secondhand
furniture dealer, came up for hearing yes
terday before Township Justice Young
1t was stipulated by counsel on both sides
that If the evidence adduced justified the
holding for trial of ]. Steele, son of the de-
fendant, that such action might be taken
by the Justice without a new examination
upon the filing of a complaint and his ar
rest. The reason for this stipulation was
that the charge of grand larceny which
had been brought against father and son
Jointly had been Professionally dismissed
against the younger Steele with the above
understanding, which was ratified yester-
day by Henry T. Gage and Horace Appel,
attorneys for both men. Messrs. Williams

Yesterday the only testimony introduced
was that of Thomas Campbell. the party
who consummated the trade between San

tract. which seems to have got lost. Saun-
ders says he left 1t in the district attor-
ney's ohice, and Stenographer Donnell
claims he gave 1t back to him. This GRIM

the complaining witness has twice been

Stunning Jag In 90 Minutes
A very scared individual ran up to Cap

that there was q dead man In the lower
floor toilet near the elevator. Captain
Davis went in there and found propped UP
against the wall and supported on the other
side by a crutch and a cane an old man,
who was motionless. He might have been
asleep or dead. judging by his immobility.
An accidental kick against the crutch dis
lodged It and the supposed corpse would
have fallen to the ground had not Captain
Davis held 1t up. The body was taken 10
the janitors office and placed in a chair,
where rubbing his ears, good ana hard,
resuscitated the cadaver. As soonDas he
opened his eyes he said: "Oh, where did 1
get that jag" 1t was then found out that
the man with the skate was John Nc
Manus. an ex-wagon maker, who was
serving on the jury trying the damage case
