FOUGHT 1000 RATS.
pesperats Battle Between Men and
Rodents In Granary.

Desperate Battle Between Men aho
Rodents In 0ranary.
With their backs against the wall
and their clubs flying like fails Charles
Wheeler and William West Of Wood
bury, Conn, fought for their lives with
a Thousand big gray granary rats.
Wheeler and Wesa killed 200 rats IN
the. brief but deadly combat, which
ended only when other men went to
the rescue.
A horde Of greedy rats infested a. h.
Stone & Co.'s grain warehouse at
Woodbury. and devoured much grain.
Wheeler and Wesa, clerks there, deter
mined to exterminate the pests. For
days they plugged various rat holes;
then by sprinkling grain temptngly
they finally lured the rats into small
room where bran is stored. While the
big drove ran here and there the men
plugged the rat holes In the little room
and attacked the rats with clubs.
But the rats, cornered, did not wait
to be dubbed. No sooner had Wheeler
and Wesa slammed the door behind
them than a great lean rat squealing'
jumped at Wheeler's face. Behind II
came the rest of the drove. They
writhed at the mems feet swarn1ed
up their legs, bit savagely at their
shoes and sprang high In the air In an
effort to get at their unprotected hands
and faces.
The men welded their clubs like
mad and yelled for help, but the
squealing animals only attacked them
the more furiously. One worked his
way inside Wesa's trousers leg and tore
savagely at his ankle. Another sank
his teeth into Wheeler's hand. The two
might have been eaten alive had moi
another employee heard their shouts
and thrown open the door. The rats
scurried out of the building. and the
two executioners dropped exhausted.

Gradually Frazier worked the reptile

The reptile toward the end appeared
to be completely tagged, but Frazier

INVESTORS AFTER FRONTAGE
ON EAST SIDE
Principal Deals Of the Week Noted
Values Steady In All Dlrec-
tlons, with an Upward
Tendency

The Los Angeles realty market the
transfer of valuable frontage bought by
individuals and syndicates to be held
as investments. Considerable close-in
property Is in this list. and with the
steady upward tendency in values good
returns are anticipated.
There has also been increased activi-
ty in the purchase of lots in tracts for
home and for investment, cash being
apparently abundant to meet all pay
ments.
Activity East of Main Street
Whatever the cause, the fact is that
numerous recent transfers indicate in
creasing activity east of Main street.
Up to few days ago this section had
been comparatively quiet and the oc-
casional sale reported was generally a
small lot on some of the less important
streets. The present activity, however,
seems to be pretty general, with par
ticular demand for larger holdings on
the principal streets, as evidenced by
the last sale reported of 100 by 10 feet
on San Pedro street, between Fifth and
Sixth streets, for $4,000. Benenati &
Niosi were the sellers and Fox & Fos-
Ter the buyers. Inc sale was MADE
through the agency of Del Vale &
Dunn.
The same agency in connection with
the firm of Tracy, Compton & Haugh,
seller, and w. F. Patt, buyer, have
sold for Frank B. Veasey to Mrs.
Bertha NJ. Daley so by 125 feet on
east side of San Julian, between Fifth
and Sixth, with nominal improvements,
for $4,000.
J. b. Lankershim has sold to Richard
Il. Beebe the northeast corner of Maple
avenue and Eleventh street for $780,
600. The property Is leo feet square
which places the consideration on the
basis of $500 a foot. There are two
double fiat buildings on the lot which
yield monthly rental of $3.50, but the
value of these improvements is small
as compared with the land. 1t is un-
derstood that Mr.. Beebe intends to
hold the property as an investment.
Other Important Deals
John D. Foster & Co. report the sale
for the Friday Morning club to a loca
investor of the lot on the southeast cor
ner of Eighteenth and Figueroa streets
The property has a frontage on Fig
