COATS INVOLVED
IN LEGAL TANGlE
Divorced Wife Claims Hall OF
Fortune and Wife Seeking Di-
vOrce Also Wants Share
First Spouse Wants Possessions
of Wealthy Horseman De-
cIared Community Property

With the wife he divorced invoking
an injunction for half OF his property
and with a second young wife who
seeks 10 divorce him also claiming
share. Lee B. Coats, wealthy horseman.
has become involved in a peculiar mar
ital and legal tangle. IL is proving q
serious matter for Coats. as the suit
of wife No 1 may result in the tying
up OF all his property holdings and
leave him not enough ready cash for
the defense Of his divorce suit against
Mrs Coats No = II wife No. l should
have her way in her suit Coats would
not have enough left for his personal
expenses. but the probabilitie are that
If she is granted the Injunction kindly
court will allow Coats enough out OF
his reputed s125.000 holdings for car
fare and an occasional cigar.
The latest twist in the tangie OF
Coats affairs came yesterday when
Ida Coats (wife No u filed suit
through her attorneys for a restrain
ing order preventing Coats from selling
or transferring any OF the property in
his possession. The grounds for the suit
were given as the fear that the divorce
and other proceedings pending between
Coats and his new wife, Eulah Coats,
would dissipate his property, in which
wife No. I claims a community interest.
Coats secured the annuiment OF his
marriage with Ida Coats in January.
1906. after the union had endured 20
years. She subsequently filed suit in San
Francisco TO have all he possessed de-
clared community property. claiming
that he was worth s125.0e0 and that
half OF IL belonged 10 her
In her bill fled yesterday she as
serts that Coats recently has been
drinking TO excess and that he Is Hv-
ing extravag gantly, spending large sums
OF money in hotel bills and automobile
hire. She also asserts that Coats has
threatened to convey his property so as
to place il outside the Jurisdiction OF
the court and thus leave Eulah Coats
(wife NO. p without remedy. Ida Coats
complains that this would at the same
time leave her without means of re-
covering what she claims is due her.
Among the property which Ida Coats
seeks 10 tie up by restraining order
are the sums Of money given by Coats
10 his wife Eulah before the estrange-
ment- These include $50. 900, which Eu-
lah Coats placed partly in deposit
boxes Of the Western national safe de-
posit company and partly in deposit
with the Croker national bank OF San
Francisco. and also s2,500 which she
deposited with the last mentioned bank
All this money Ida Coats claims 10 be
community property OF herself and her
ex-husband. These sums are already
subject TO restraining order secured
by Coats 10 prevent Eulah from touch
ing them.
