DISTRICT ATTORNEY DENOUNCES
LOCAL REAL ESTATE DEALER

that he is beyond the reach of the
law. ] do not believe that he has the
brains to manage the concern, because
he is ignorant but 7 think he is the
stool pigeon for some eastern crimi-
nal who has sent him out here to
make the deals. In every case he has
pretended to sell acreage from some
large tract in West Virginia and Ken
lucky. Upon investigation we find
that these tracts, aside from being
composed of hilly and practically
valueless land. are owned by scores
OF people, and although Wilson has
no claim to the property under the
records Of the state. in order to salts
fy a jury IL would be necessary to
send back there and establish abso-
lutely the ownership and title to the
land of every owner now on 1t. As
any attorney knows i'm n case where
something like 100000 acres of land are
concerned, especially when that land
is in an unfrequented part of the 9TH
er side of the continent, 1t would be
impossible to thoroughly cover the
case without the expenditure of from
$4,000 to $4,000.
$50 we are helpless and all we can
do is to warn the people of California
and the entire southwest to have no
dealings with this man Wilson. He
already numbers among his victims
Riverside. valued at $1,000. for value
less title to a tract of worthless land.
Mast is from Pomona, as are c. o.
Dundas. J. A. Macarthur, w. w. Midg-
ley and l.. A. Larbeer, some of Will
sons other victims. II. G.. Groin of
Los Angeles was taken in for some of
his property.
I'VE have not taken this step of
warning the people against Wilson
without investigation. We have had
reports for the past two years and
every one of his deals has been care
fully looked into"
When asked what he had to say in
defense of his actions yesterday, Will
son shrugged his shoulders and stated:
"I bought the lands in the east with
out seeing them and the California
people traded without seeing them. 7
don't know what the eastern lands are
worth, but ! am innocent. Hundreds
of people are making the same kinds
Of deals in California every day."

VANCOUVER. b. c., Nov. 24-An
exciting battle for possession of the
Peoples theater was fought here early
today. w. II. Lucas is managing
director of the owning syndicate and
has an office in the building. A three
years lease of the theater given by
Lucas to Carl Berch expired at mid
night, and Lucas gave a new lease to
theatrical syndicate headed by
Timothy d. Sullivan Of New York and
John Considine of Seattle. Berch
claimed that his lease gave him the
option of renewal and refused to re-
linquish possession. Lucas. with a
force of thirty men, entered his own
office and thence forced their way into
the theater Berch. with ten men, was
in the box office. Upon Lucas refusing
to leave, it is alleged that Berch or his
assistants fired a number of shots at
Lucas Lucas and his men removed all
