TROUBLE OVER PROPERTY
SETTLEMENT,

Word has been received here that
the courts of California have awarded
Fred and Tom Lindsay an interest in
the property left by Major Lindsay,
who died at Escondido about one
year ago. Major Lindsay was a pio-
neer newspaper man Of this city, and
about three years ago removed to Es-
condido, California, where he en-
gagged in the newspaper business.
Following his death his sons, Fred
and Tom, brought suit against Mrs.
Lindsay, their stepmother, for a di-
vision of the. property. The courts
awarded them an equity in the real
estate, but gave the newspaper prop
erty to Mrs. Lindsay. 1t was alleged
by the Lindsay boys that the money
invested in business block in Es-
condido was a part of the proceeds of
the sale Of the Wenatchee Advance,
and in which they owned an equit
along with their father.
Mrs. Lindsay is still running the
EscondidO Times, and it is said that
she is making good money from it.
