L. G. Wilson Says His Reputation Is
Damaged $4,000 Worth.


T. G. Wilson, the real estate and col
Letting agent, who has been complained
against to the county attorney several
times for alleged reprehensible trans
actions, and was finally arrested on the
charge of grand larceny at the instance
of Josie Foley and Mary Kane, yes
terday commenced action in the dis
trlct court against the two women for
$4,000 damages, which he thinks his
reputation has sustained. Wilson ne
gotiated a sale of a boarding house for
the two women and found a prospect
i've purchaser in J. Lutz of Anaconda,
who put up $50 to secure an option. The
money was forfeited and the women
got S. of it and then accused Wilson
of holding S45 out on them. They caus-
ed his arrest on March 16, and upon
trial before Justice Nichols he was
discharged. In his complaint in the
suit for damages he says the charge
against him was published and it ex-
posed him to public disgrace and scan
dial and injured his business and repu-
tation to the extent Of $1,000.
