ACCUSED OF FRAUD
P. J. Freda Alleged To Have Swindled.
John Cake and Wife Out of
Property.

A capais for the arrest OF P. j.
Freda, a Polish real estate agent, was
issued by Judge Hosmer, Wednesday
morning, on complaint OF John and
Frances Cake, who allege they were
deceived and defrauded when they
signed land contract for the disposal
OF their house and lot to Freda.
Some months ago the Cakes were
DESTROYS of selling their property, and
placed 1t In Freda's hands. He was
unable to make the sale, SO he agreed
10 buy the property himself. He made
out papers. and the Cakes, being I'M
able to understand English, signed
withoutoquestion. Freda now claims
that the paper was contract to sell
the property, which is worth about 81
900, for $50. The next day after this
alleged sale, Freda made loan on
the property of $3.50, and he has since
sold it to another party. The Cakes
claim they have been paid only $26.
The contract under which they trans
ferred the property to Freda has dis
appeared and he claims to have lost

that II Is next TO impossible to make
anything out of them. Aid. Gutman
wished to accomplish the work az

Davis he has a man who carries out
Mack ideas on the field. Mack on the
bench and Davis on the field form the
combination that has put the Athlet-

There is only one first baseman who
excels him in fielding. Hal Chase is
the greatest fielding FIRST baseman Of

For nine consecutive years Davis has
batted hard and conscientiously for
